Experts discussed institutional factors of socio-economic development
On November 25, Laboratory for International and Regional Economics held a research workshop Impact of Institutional Factors on Socio-Economic Development. The keynote report of the workshop was presented by RAS Academician, Head of the Laboratory at CEMI RAS, Deputy Director of Moscow School of Economics, Prof. Dr. Viktor Polterovich on the Evolution of Mechanisms of Competition, Governance and Cooperation: The Role of the Internet and Civiс Culture. Following on from the theory of Dr. Poltervich, GSEM researchers A. Nepp, Y. Egorova, M. Kazantseva and F. Karpeko conducted and presented their own empirical research projects, which confirmed theoretical and methodological concepts of his work. The reports were peer-reviewed by the RAS Corresponding Member, Director of the Centre at Institute of Economics of the Ural Branch, Prof. Dr. Evgeny Popov. He presented a critical analysis of the reports based on the theory of institutional economic modelling.
Prof. Dr. Polterovich commented on his research:
«My research is dedicated to corporate governance and corporate hierarchies. Cooperation institutions are gradually replacing the institutions of authority and competition. This process is especially evident in the Western countries over long periods of time. However, for Russia this trend is also visible. We consider the best approaches to organizing such cooperation in this research. A lot of people think that cooperation means the absence of rigid information structure, but recent studies indicate that it does not contradict with hierarchical organisation of information exchange. And this cooperation proved to be the most efficient».
It is worth noting that workshops with Dr. Polterovich and Dr. Popov on institutional factors of economic development have been held by GSEM for the fourth year, and have become drivers for this research area at GSEM UrFU. The academician remarked on the enthusiasm of our young colleagues and their excellent command of econometrics.
The Laboratory for International and Regional Economics invites researchers and students to participate in its regularly held workshops in 2020. The events announcements can be found on this page.
