William Morris Appleman, Ph.D. Candidate at the Center for Economic Research and Graduate Education – Economics Institute (CERGE-EI) conducted a one-week-long intensive course entitled "Fundamental Principles of Economics" for the second cohort of our brand new BA program (first cohort students were also invited and many attended).

ISET would like to congratulate resident faculty member Norberto Pignatti on the publication of a new article (together with Hartmut Lehmann of the University of Bologna) entitled “Informal Employment Relationships and the Labor Market: is there Segmentation in Ukraine?”, in the Journal of Comparative Economics.

On the first day of their classes, second-year MA students of the International School of Economics in Tbilisi (ISET) were notified about an amazing opportunity – a week-long study visit to Stockholm, Sweden, fully funded by the Swedish Institute.

At the start of a new academic year, ISET has made a quick return to participating in international academic events. Between September 6 and 8, Professor Norberto Pignatti presented his research on the links between risk attitudes and labor market outcomes (with particular regards to whether individuals end up working informally or not) in the Georgian labor market at the 15th European Association for Comparative Economic Studies Conference, in Warsaw.

ISET would like to congratulate resident faculty members Norberto Pignatti and Karine Torosyan on the publication of a new article (together with Maksym Obrizan of the Kyiv School of Economics) entitled “Job market outcomes for IDPs: The case of Georgia”, in the Journal of Comparative Economics.
