London, Greater London, United Kingdom Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank Full time
Economist (Applied Research) (Base in Beijing)

Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank London, United Kingdom Posted 30 minutes ago Permanent Competitive Economist (Applied Research) The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is a multilateral development bank whose mission is financing the Infrastructure for Tomorrow-infrastructure with sustainability at its core.

We began operations in Beijing in January 2016 and have since grown to 109 approved members worldwide. We are capitalized at USD100 billion and rated AAA by the major international credit rating agencies.

Collaborating with partners, AIIB meets clients' needs by unlocking new capital and investing in infrastructure that is green, technology-enabled and promotes regional connectivity.

AIIB's Economics Department is responsible for the Bank's economic analysis, which includes providing thought leadership, such as preparing AIIB's annual flagship publication, Asian Infrastructure Finance, conducting applied research (including but not limited to ex ante and ex post investment impact assessments and market structure diagnostics), projecting country and sector infrastructure needs, producing project cost-benefit analysis, monitoring country debt sustainability and other macroeconomic risks.

Going forward, infrastructure is pivotal for countries to tackle the triple challenges of economic development, climate change and nature degradation.

In addition, the private sector is taking an increasing role in infrastructure investment, but public-private-partnerships have been riddled with flaws.

Offering in-depth analysis of sectoral market structure can help set the foundation for better leveraging private finance.

The Economics Department is looking to hire an economist for its research and development impact pillar to provide analytical support to our operational teams and to our members.

Conduct economic analysis on project impact assessment, structural estimation, market structure diagnostics and other relevant issues.

Conduct project cost-benefit analysis or reviews, and prepare regular country and sector context updates, as requested by the project teams.

Gather relevant economic data from various sources, including government agencies, industry reports and academic research.

Apply economic models, statistical techniques and analytical tools to analyze the collected data; identify trends, patterns and relationships within the data; Create compelling data visualizations, such as charts, graphs and infographics, to help readers understand complex economic concepts and trends.

Stay up-to-date with the latest economic research and literature related to the subject matter of the report; Collaborate with other departments in preparing select projects.

An applied economist with postgraduate degrees in economics (PhD is preferred).

Minimum 5 to 8 years of experience, with 3 to 5 years of relevant research experience in large international organizations, universities, research institutions, think-tanks or financial institutions.

Excellent econometric analysis and theoretical modelling skills are required.
Proficiency in common statistical software, modelling software and data visualization, such as Stata, Python, R, MATLAB, is required.
Strong knowledge and experience in geospatial analysis and data science will be an advantage.
Experience in infrastructure project impact evaluation and structural modelling will be assessed positively.
Proficiency in oral and written English and solid communication skills.
AIIB is committed to diversity, transparency and inclusion.

We actively encourage applications from people from both within and outside AIIB members, regardless of nationality, religion, gender, race, disability or sexual orientation.

AIIB shall strive to provide employment opportunities open to all suitably qualified applicants, regardless of religion, gender, race, disability, sexual orientation or nationality.
