香港六合彩中特网 Economics Associate Professor Dr Suphanit Piyapromdee has been awarded a prestigious Starting Grant from the听European Research Council听(ERC),听worth 1.5m.

ERC Starting Grants听recognise talented early-career scientists with research leader potential and a track record of producing excellent research.

Dr Piyapromdee鈥檚 funded project,听Skills mismatch: sources and consequences听(MISMATCH), will seek to identify and understand the sources of widespread discrepancies between the abilities of, and skills requirements for, workers. MISMATCH will further seek to identify solutions to mitigate the adverse consequences of these discrepancies, most notably long-lasting wage penalties.

The grant will enable Dr Piyapromdee听to recruit and lead a team to听advance this exciting project, bringing together Labour, Macro and Experimental economists from across the globe.

Dr Piyapromdee said,听鈥淚鈥檓 delighted to have been successful in the bid for this prestigious grant. A better understanding of the discrepancies between workers鈥 abilities and skills requirements for jobs will help form solutions so that early interventions can reduce the unfavourable consequences of mismatches.鈥
