The Graduate College "The Economics of Innovative Change" addresses questions and problems concerning the economic dynamics of firms, markets, sectors and regions with an analytical focus on the endogenous driving forces mainly understood as the activities of invention and innovation. Among the range of topics are the behavioural and
organizational foundations of inventive and innovative activities, their effects on sectoral and regional structures combined especially with demand side considerations as well as the political management of change. For analysing those topics theoretical and empirical approaches as well as experimental studies are welcome.
The Graduate College is a cooperative initiative of the Department of Economics of the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena and the Max Planck Institute of Economics, Jena.
It offers top level graduated students the opportunity to achieve a doctoral degree (PhD) in economics. Scholarship positions require a permanent and active participation in the study and the research program of the research training group. Therefore all scholarship holders are expected to choose Jena as their place of residence.
Applications are required to include Application form, CV, copy of diploma, BA, MA certificate, copy of diploma or
master thesis, writing sample (about 10 pages), 2 reference letters, 1 page statement on the expected benefit from participating in the program.
