Internship in the analysis of financial stability risks stemming from residential real estate and households

Work of special value: your commitment with us

Topic Area 1:

You will work with various datasets related to banks, real estate prices, or the labor market and support our team in analyzing financial stability risks in the residential real estate and household sectors. You will use these datasets, for example, in models or apply advanced econometric methods to investigate relevant questions for financial stability policy.

Topic Area 2:

You will work with household survey data (e.g., PHF, HFCS, and SOEP) and prepare it to analyze financial stability risks in the household sector. In doing so, you will apply modern econometric methods to complex data structures. For example, you will estimate life-cycle profiles for households, stochastic processes to approximate income risks, or examine how households are affected by macroprudential policy measures.

Topic Area 3:

You will support us in developing macroeconomic models (e.g., DSGE, life-cycle, or OLG models) and conduct simulations to analyze financial stability risks. For instance, the effects of demographic change or the impacts of macroprudential policy measures.
