The Nova SBE Public Policy Institute (NPPI) is committed to fostering rigorous research in public policy, particularly research with real-world impact, moving the public policy needle in the right direction. Currently, the institute’s research priorities are centered on the following public policy issues:
- Taxation (a research lab funded by the Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation)
- Productivity (a research lab funded by the Haddad Foundation)
- Housing
- Immigration
Notwithstanding the special focus on the above research areas, generally speaking NPPI is interested in all matters related to public policy. Additional specific research topics will be added in the future.
NPPI will soon issue a call for research proposals on the topics of taxation and productivity. Refer to this page for announcements regarding these calls.
PhD graduates, or soon-to-be PhD graduates, can apply to one of our postdoc positions. We expect to create three such positions in the near future. Refer to this page for announcements regarding future openings. Master’s students and recent graduates willing to work as research assistants in specific on-going projects should send their application to public.policy.institute@novasbe.pt
The Nova SBE Public Policy Institute co-sponsors seminars organized by various research units at Nova SBE. Occasionally, the institute convenes one-day workshops on specific public policy issues. Check the events section of our webpage.
