MQRES Cultural Economics PhD Scholarship

Closing Date: TBA

A Macquarie University Research Excellence PhD scholarship is available in
the Department of Economics in the field of cultural economics. The
successful candidate will work on a project "Investment Appraisal in the
Cultural Sector: Accounting for Economic and Cultural Value". This
research is aimed at extending the techniques of cost-benefit analysis to
account for market and non-market values and cultural value in investment
appraisal in the cultural sector. The project will develop new analytical
methods and apply them to one or more case-studies in the fields of the
arts, heritage and/or cultural development.

MQRES Scholarships are available to Australian and international students.
Applicants should have completed an Australian four-year undergraduate
degree in Economics or a closely related discipline with first class
honours, or demonstrate equivalent research qualifications (such as a
Masters course with substantial research component) from an Australian or
overseas University. A background in quantitative analytical methods in
economics will be an advantage.

MQRES scholarships pay a stipend, currently $A19,616 per annum, tax exempt
(2007). The Division of Economic and Financial Studies will top-up the
stipend to a maximum $A32,500 per annum for the successful applicant. The
tenure of the scholarship is 3.5 years full time, subject to satisfactory
progress. Tuition fees will be funded for the scholarship tenure. Eligible
domestic students will receive Research Training Scheme (RTS) placement
for their tuition. International award holders will have their full
tuition fee and Overseas Health Care costs paid under the award.

For further information and discussion regarding the project, candidates
