17:52, April 26, 2018

The competition is held by CERGE-EI

Valeria Chukaeva, a 4-year student of the Bachelor programme Applied Economics made it to the top-9 of the international competition New Economic Talent 2018. Valeria’s paper «Bankruptcy of Russian enterprises: Do macroeconomic factors matter?» was appreciated by the Evaluation Committee along with the papers by students from Cambridge University, Humboldt University of Berlin and London School of Economics.

Valeria told us about her participation in the competition:

«I have learnt about this competition from our professor Natalia Davidson who obtained her PhD in CERGE-EI. The competition requirements are quite simple: the paper cannot be more than 50 pages long and must be written in English. The topic could be anything in the framework of economics. Unfortunately, there is no feedback, so if you don’t get in the top you won’t know what exactly the Evaluation Committee didn’t like. My research supervisor is Denis Gilev, and I would like to express my gratitude to him for guiding me through the work on this paper».

Congratulations to Valeria and wishing good luck in the future!
