3 weeks ago


Århus, Århus Kommune, Denmark Aarhus University Full time
{"Key Research Questions

This PhD project aims to investigate the economic effects of individual debt relief, a set of policies/rules which have been in place in Denmark for decades but have never been evaluated empirically.

What are the economic effects of debt relief on granted individuals, their health and families/children?

How does debt relief impact the likelihood of starting up your own business (becoming an entrepreneur) as well as how the business fares subsequently?

What is the insurance value of debt relief (to what extent debt relief improves economic status and stability and thereby insures the granted applicants)?

Methodology and Data

The project will exploit access to Danish register data and information about applicants for debt relief.

Expected Qualifications

To be eligible for the PhD position, the applicant is expected to have a strong background in Economics or Public Policy, strong analytical skills, as well as a demonstrated track record in terms of good grades in previous courses.

Further Information

For further information about the position, please contact Jonas Maibom.

Application Procedure

Applicants are invited to submit their application, including a project proposal and CV, to Aarhus BSS Graduate School.

Assessment Criteria
