Denmark : PhD scholarship in Economics

Sponsored Links

Copenhagen Business School invites applications for a vacant PhD scholarship in Economics within the fields of Entrepreneurship affiliated with the Centre for Economic and Business Research (CEBR) at Department of Economics. The scholarship is embedded in a research project entitled “Employment Effects of Entrepreneurship” directed by Prof. Anders Sørensen (as.eco@cbs.dk). The research project is mainly an empirical project based on register data from Statistics Denmark. An important question in this context is how many of the new jobs created by entrepreneurs that are really new jobs, i.e., jobs that not only replace similar jobs in existing businesses and therefore are likely to better contribute to innovation and growth in society. Another important question is whether spin-off entrepreneurs contribute more to job creation than other types of entrepreneurs. The purpose of the project is to study precisely these aspects of the job creation process.

A more detailed description of the project can be obtained. For further information please contact: Director of Centre for Economic and Business Research, Anders Sørensen, tel.: +45 3815 3493, e-mail as.eco@cbs.dk. Information about the Centre of Economic and Business Research (CEBR) may be found at www.cebr.dk, whereas information about the Department of Economics may be found at www.cbs.dk/ECON.
