DREAM seeks two skilled students to work on GrønREFORM

Would you like to help develop the environmental and climate-economic model GrønREFORM? And would you like to join our dedicated student team, where you get a unique opportunity to apply your academic skills from your studies in practice? We are seeking two sharp and well-qualified students to work on further developing the model, quality-assuring its properties, etc.

About the position In the position you will work with both the model's data basis, economic modeling and policy analyses on one or more of the model's subareas in close collaboration with your colleagues in the model group for the development of GrønREFORM.

GrønREFORM is a macroeconomic CGE model with a particular focus on environmental and climate-economic issues. The model is today an established analytical tool in the central administration. It was used by the Expert Group for a Green Tax Reform and for calculations for Grøn Trepart. The model supported the Green Denmark agreement, and it underpins the official projections for the agricultural and waste sectors.

The model is also in demand internationally, and four EU countries are in the process of implementing their own version of GrønREFORM with support from DREAM.

Prior knowledge of general equilibrium models, energy system models and climate policy issues for one or more of GrønREFORM's subareas is an advantage, but certainly not a requirement. Reference can be made to the project website www.grønREFORM.dk for additional relevant information.

About you We expect that you

• have a strong academic background in economics and a flair for mathematics and statistics (you are studying economics, mathematical economics or the like).
• have passed the 2nd-year exam with a good result.
• have good abilities and an interest in programming. Knowledge of GAMS and Python is an advantage, but you will receive the necessary training.
• have good numerical understanding, be analytically sharp and have good formulation skills.
• are responsible and thrive both working individually and together with others.
