The Ronald Coase Institute is offering a unique opportunity for young scholars passionate about exploring the role of institutions in shaping climate change adaptation strategies in developing countries. As part of their ongoing research initiatives, the institute will fund up to three competitive research grants, each worth up to $20,000.

The research focus is on “Institutions and Adaptation to Climate Change – in Developing Countries”. The grants aim to support empirical investigations that explore how institutions—whether formal or informal—affect a country’s capacity to respond and adapt to climate change impacts.

Key Details:

  • Research Focus: Institutions and adaptation to climate change in developing countries
  • Number of Grants: Up to 3
  • Grant Amount: Up to $20,000 each

The selection committee will evaluate the clarity and importance of the research question, the role of institutions in the analysis, and the feasibility of the proposed empirical study. This is an exciting chance to contribute to important research in environmental economics while securing financial support.

Who is Eligible?

  • PhD students
  • Post-docs
  • Early-career academics
  • Other young scholars
