and finance that requires conceptual development and empirical modelling to solve.
This Investment modelling for green transition and financial value creation at the national level (Economics) study at VILNIUS TECH aims to develop an analytical and modelling tool for optimally allocating investments to support the green transition while simultaneously increasing national financial value. This tool will identify priority investment areas that deliver environmental benefits and economic and financial returns.
The proposed investment modelling system will enable policymakers, financial institutions and public authorities to anticipate investment risks more effectively, assess expected returns and balance public and private capital flows in strategic green sectors. The systematic use of this tool could support evidence-based decision-making, improve the effectiveness of national green transition investment strategies and strengthen a country's competitiveness in a low-carbon economy.
The selected candidate will work on the PhD thesis under the supervision of Prof. dr. Indrė Lapinskaitė. The successful applicant will have to attend scientific conferences, meetings and internships in the other universities.
