RESEARCH ASSOCIATE: Value Distribution Among Company Stakeholders: Exploring the Microfoundations of Income Inequality. Part-Time and Fixed Term.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Research Associate to support a British Academy / Leverhulme-funded research project led by Dr Philipp Kern in the Institute of International Management at Loughborough University London. The role is ideally suited for a current PhD student.
The project investigates how value created by large British, German and Italian companies is shared among their stakeholders and how these patterns have changed over the last 20 years, thereby aiming to contribute to a better understanding of the ‘microfoundations’ of income inequality. Despite an increasing interest in the link between organizations and distributional outcomes, we still lack a systematic examination of how patterns of value distribution in large employers have evolved over time and, crucially, how these patterns are shaped by the institutional environment firms operate in. Research on this relationship has been held back by a lack of suitable methodological tools that enable an integrated analysis of stakeholder returns that is comparable across firms, sectors, countries, and time.
The post holder will assist in carrying out research on the ‘Value Distribution Among Company Stakeholders: Exploring the Microfoundations of Income Inequality’ project.
We positively welcome applications from people with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.
Informal enquiries should be made to Dr Philipp Kern, Lecturer in International Management by email at p.kern@lboro.ac.uk
