The call for a collaboration contract on the European ISEProD project is now online.

Interested candidates must submit their applications by Thursday, December 21, at 3:00 PM.

The ISEProD project will gather insights and new techniques in industrial organization and corporate finance to assess the causes and consequences of different industrial structures. Specifically, the project will focus on four distinct work packages. The first addresses the role of ownership, control, and risk-taking in business. The second explores the supply of skills and the impact of training for entrepreneurs and managers. The third focuses on industrial structure and the input/output relationships linked to IT adoption. Finally, the fourth package addresses access to financing in the context of asymmetric information and financial markets with competitive imbalances.

The comparative assessment process aims to select a collaborator to support the project's research activities, specifically by conducting statistical analyses. The main task will be to analyze the data collected, using project funds, on company shareholders and board members. The collaborator's main task will be to analyze data on the succession of family businesses in Italy and Germany as it is collected by the appointed market research firm. The collaborator may also contribute to other projects related to ISEProD topics.

The contract will start on the first day of the month following the contract award and run for 12 months. Presence in Rome is required.
