Pathways in the green transition and beyond: network science applications for industrial strategy, labour market frictions, and productive knowledge

Joris Bücker is a DPhil candidate at the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment at the School of Geography and the Environment, and at the Institute for New Economic Thinking at the Oxford Martin School. He is interested in productive knowledge bottlenecks and labour market frictions that risk slowing down the green transition. In particular, his work includes developing data-driven network science models of labour market frictions, global value chains of renewable energy, and green industrial policy. His wider research interests include non-linear dynamics in social systems, learning and creativity, languages and society, and complexity science in the broadest sense. Joris holds an MSc in Complex System Modelling (physics) from King’s College London and a BSc in Econometrics from the University of Amsterdam. Prior to starting his doctoral studies, he worked in medical data science and in semiconductors.
