PhD Positions
DC1 — The empirical effect of electricity price subsidies
Host: Norwegian School of Economics (NHH)
This project examines how electricity price subsidies affect household electricity consumption, labour supply, savings, and wealth accumulation in Norway, with a focus on equity and prosumer behaviour.
Secondments: Academic: Stockholm University (SU) · Non-academic: Elmera
DC2 — Energy-related Household Inequality (EHI) and electricity price shocks
Host: Norwegian School of Economics (NHH)
This project develops methods to measure energy-related household inequality and analyses how electricity price shocks affect inequality and energy poverty using Norwegian data.
Secondments: Academic: University of Bern (UBERN) · Non-academic: Elhub
DC3 — Survey-based evidence on households’ willingness to provide energy flexibility through demand response (DR)
Host: Wrocław University of Science and Technology (PWR)
This project studies drivers and barriers to household participation in demand response, evaluating incentive schemes through surveys and behavioural modelling.
Secondments: Academic: Vilnius University (VU) · Non-academic: STORIE
DC4 — Energy-related Household Inequality (EHI) and energy poverty
Host: University of Helsinki (UH)
This project analyses how electricity price changes affect energy demand, energy poverty and broader household behaviour using Finnish data.
Secondments: Academic: Vilnius University (VU) · Non-academic: Energiavirasto (Finnish Energy Authority)
DC5 — High-frequency analysis of electricity prices and risk management in volatile energy markets
Host: Leibniz University Hannover (LUH)
This project models high-frequency electricity price dynamics and develops financial instruments to manage risk in volatile energy markets.
Secondments: Academic: UCLouvain · Non-academic: RWE
DC6 — Behavioural responses to electricity price shocks
Host: Leibniz University Hannover (LUH)
This project studies how households adjust electricity consumption, labour supply, relocation and savings in response to electricity price changes.
Secondments: Academic: University of Helsinki (UH) · Non-academic: Enercity
DC7 — Market design, market efficiency and inequality
Host: UCLouvain
This project evaluates electricity market design options from a household perspective, focusing on tariffs, contracts and flexibility incentives.
Secondments: Academic: University of Copenhagen (UCPH) · Non-academic: Elia Group
DC8 — Optimal policy instrument choice, durable assets, and inequality
Host: UCLouvain
This project analyses the trade-offs between income support and energy price policies when households face constraints in investing in durable assets.
Secondments: Academic: Norwegian School of Economics (NHH) · Non-academic: Belgian Federal Planning Bureau (PlanBe)
DC9 — Smart contracts for household demand response (DR)
Host: Vilnius University (VU)
This project designs and tests smart contracts for household demand response using economic modelling and laboratory experiments.
Secondments: Academic: UCLouvain · Non-academic: ESO
DC10 — Determinants of household demand response (DR)
Host: Vilnius University (VU)
This project investigates behavioural and social factors influencing household participation in demand response across multiple European countries.
Secondments: Academic: Wrocław University of Science and Technology (PWR) · Non-academic: ESO
DC11 — Prosumers in competitive energy markets
Host: Stockholm University (SU)
This project develops economic models to analyse how prosumers and electrification affect competition in energy markets.
Secondments: Academic: University of Copenhagen (UCPH) · Non-academic: Skagerak Energi
DC12 — Optimisation of household demand response (DR)
Host: University of Copenhagen (UCPH)
This project develops dynamic optimisation models to assess household demand response under different tariff structures.
Secondments: Academic: Stockholm University (SU) · Non-academic: Energinet
DC13 — Household wealth optimisation and the impact of energy costs
Host: University of Copenhagen (UCPH)
This project studies how energy costs and subsidies affect household wealth, savings and risk exposure using stochastic control models.
Secondments: Academic: Leibniz University Hannover (LUH) · Non-academic: ENS
DC14 — Energy-related Household Inequality (EHI) and welfare analysis
Host: University of Bern (UBERN)
This project advances methods to measure energy-related household inequality and conducts welfare analysis of alternative tariff designs using Swiss data.
Secondments: Academic: Leibniz University Hannover (LUH) · Non-academic: ewb
