Background
With the financial support of the Gates Foundation, GDN is implementing
a global research programme on the Economics of Open Transaction Networks (OTN). The programme aims to develop economic theories
around open transaction networks and their development impacts, and to test
them empirically in a number of low - and middle -income countries.
The programme brings together:
- GDN
economists and invited senior economists, led by the President of GDN.
- A
Scientific Advisory Committee of global experts on OTN and digital public
infrastructure.
- National
research teams implementing comparative empirical projects across
countries and sectors.
Position Summary
GDN seeks to recruit a Junior Economist to support the economics work of
the OTN programme and to contribute to GDN's wider research portfolio and
institutional partnerships. The Junior Economist will work closely with the GDN
economists, the invited senior economists, the Senior Programme Manager, and
the wider programme team. The programme’s theory work does not assume that
candidates already know the work in OTN.
The role is focused on empirical economics. The key responsibilities are
to support the national research teams during their country evaluations, to
track the OTN implementations themselves and coordinate the data the research
needs, and to contribute to GDN's broader research and partnership efforts.
