This fall, Matteo Filippi joined the ranks of UBS Center Scholarship holders at the Zurich Graduate School of Economics. His work explores how industrial policy and demand constraints shape the prospects for industrialization in developing countries. By combining theory with newly available administrative data from Africa, Matteo sheds light on which forms of government support can foster firm growth, strengthen value chains, and ultimately promote broader economic development.

Jindi Huang is one of three students, who has been awarded a UBS Center Scholarship at the Zurich Graduate School of Economics. Her research explores the cognitive and emotional processes that shape decision-making, from how individuals recognize comparative advantage to how emotions influence attention and preferences. By combining theory with carefully designed experiments, Jindi aims to refine economic models so they better capture real human behavior.

Wir gratulieren unserer ehemaligen UBS Center Stipendiatin Lexi Schubert herzlich zum Gewinn des renommierten Ronald Fisher Prize für das beste Junior (Pre-Tenure) Paper.
Lexi, aktuell Postdoktorandin an der UC Berkeley, wurde für ihr Paper «Self-Detrimental Avoidance of Rest» ausgezeichnet. Ihre Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass Menschen ihre Anstrengungen zwischen Arbeit und Erholung falsch verteilen und durch mehr Ruhephasen insgesamt eine höhere Lebenszufriedenheit erreichen könnten. Das ist besonders relevant angesichts der langfristigen Kosten von Überarbeitung wie etwa Burnout. Der Preis wurde an der Annual Conference of the Association of Field Experiments (AFE) an der University of Chicago verliehen.
Es freut uns ausserordentlich, dass Lexis herausragende Arbeit auf dieser internationalen Bühne gewürdigt wird und dass Alumni des UBS Center die Spitzenforschung in der Ökonomie weltweit prägen.
Lorenzo Maria Casale’s research dives deep into how culture and informal institutions shape economic and political outcomes, using tools from both econometrics and computational methods. From kinship networks in Italian municipalities to the cultural impact of Instagram on youth, Lorenzo investigates the subtle yet powerful ways that social meaning drives behavior and coordination in modern societies. This fall, Lorenzo was awarded one of the three UBS Center Scholarships for 2025 – a recognition given to outstanding doctoral students at the Zurich Graduate School of Economics.
