ERC grants
This ERC Starting grant proposes to provide new empirical evidence on the search strategies of both job seekers and of recruiters in the labor market. This evidence will enhance our understanding of the information asymmetries at the root of search frictions.
An ERC strating grant aimed at advancing the frontier of our understanding of the roles of corruption and reputation in procurement.
The aim of this ERC Advance grant is to improve our understanding of the relationship between aspirations and socio-economic outcomes of disadvantaged individuals, in order to answer the question: Can we design policy interventions that shift aspirations in a way that is conducive to development?
This project contributes to this literature by studying the invention and development of marine insurance contracts in medieval Italy and their subsequent spread all over Europe.
The main objective of this ERC Starting grant is to introduce and investigate novel methodologies and procedures for BNP inference
This ERC Consolidator grant addressed two neglected elements in the existing literature: the role of political parties as organizational structures that shape political careers (i.e., who gets on top in democracies); and the nature of social preferences, personality traits, and cognitive biases in understanding the beliefs and the choices of both politicians and voters.
This ERC Consolidator grant aims at developing psychologically founded models of economic decision making, test these models, and use them to shed light on several economic phenomena.
The goal of this ERC Starting grant is to develop a model of random choice where the randomization is due not to mistakes or changes in utility but because subjects are choosing to randomize.
The research agenda of this ERC Advance grant aims to create a unified Macro-Finance and Decision Theory framework for the study of model uncertainty, which broadens the scope of Decision Theory and provides novel foundations for a common framework.
An ERC Advanced grant aimed at developing a general framework to analyze the dynamics of social and economic interaction between intelligent agents, who may nonetheless be affected by their emotions and exhibit time inconsistent preferences.
From 2008, 18 IGIER fellows have been awarded the European Research Council (ERC) Starting, Consolidator or Advanced research grants. With this achievement, Bocconi belongs to the group of top institutions in Europe for the number of scholars, who have been awarded ERC grants in the SH1 panel (Economics, Finance, and Management).
The main goal of the ERC is to encourage high quality research in Europe through competitive funding. Every year about 8-10 percent of submitted proposals get funded in the SH1 panel. Click here for statistics and the list of all ERC grants' recipients.
