Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The scientific content of this research project is concerned with understanding the complex interactions between education, time-preference, mental health outcomes and the transmission of these factors between parents and their children. The research will move our understanding beyond the mapping of correlations between these factors, exploiting large datasets from a number of EU countries, allied with state of the art econometric methodologies, to establish the strength of the causal relationship between education and an individual’s own time-preferences, the time-preferences of their children and the individual’s mental health. Building on the Fellow’s current research skills, experience and competencies, the Fellowship will significantly advance the Fellow along the career path towards securing a leading academic position. The Fellow will be provided with a new and stimulating research environment, working alongside the leading academics in the research field, gaining technical training in new methodologies and being exposed to policy experiment evaluation studies unique to the Geary Institute at University College Dublin. Advanced formal training in complementary skills, plus the technical skills gained and practical experience of project management, will contribute to a rounding of the Fellow’s skill portfolio. The significant advancement of the Fellow’s skills will place him in a position to exploit future funding opportunities in the EU as numerous nations implement policy experiments which will require highly skilled quantitative social scientists to evaluate. The Fellowship is the next coherent step in the Fellow’s research career progression and will position the Fellow to secure a tenured position at a leading European research institution. Going forward, exposure to the international network of academic, policy and industry collaborations at the GI, the Fellow will contribute to increased mobility and knowledge transfer in the European Research Area.'
