Tampere University is inviting applications for the position of Professor or Associate Professor (tenure-track) in Economics.
The university hosts the Finnish Centre of Excellence in Tax Systems Research (FIT), awarded and funded by the Research Council of Finland. FIT studies the effects and design of multiple aspects of public policy. The research program is very broad, covering a multitude of topics related to public finance, labor, health, and environmental economics, and industrial organization.
A large-scale analysis of 110 articles from leading economics and political science journals shows that approximately 85% of published findings are computationally reproducible, while 72% of statistically significant estimates are robust to alternative specifications. These findings indicate strong, though not perfect, reliability in empirical research, with high-quality journals’ mandatory data-sharing policies facilitating verification.
Martín Brun from Tampere University is one of co-authors in the project.
