Ukraine will soon elect its new President. This new President will face many economic challenges, ranging from restoring international confidence in Ukraine, to reforming Ukraine's economy to make it competitive for the 21st century. Many policy choices will have to be made, and obviously, the new President will need good analysis to make the right choices.
For the 2010 student conference we are therefore looking for essays and research papers that make an in-depth analysis of specific problems that face the Ukrainian economy or of specific policies that are relevant to Ukraine. During the conference, selected authors will present their advice for the newly elected President.
***

Both essays and research papers ideally are based either upon original research done by the student or inspired by other researchers’ results, with additional analysis done by the student. The essays and research papers should be focused and precise and written in English.

“UKRAINE (BELARUS, MOLDOVA) AND THE CRISIS - CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES”

Application Deadline:  November 1, 2009 at conference@kse.org.ua

*** Till a year ago Ukraine has been among the most growing economies. Today we again find ourselves among European leaders, this time on the other side. In the first half of 2009 industrial output fell by ~30%, GDP declined by ~20%, and prices increased by  ~18%. Within a year the Ukrainian currency devaluated by 83.5%  – more than any other currency in the world during the same period. To make things worse, upcoming presidential elections add to uncertainty and distort economic incentives. 

The Kyiv School of Economics invites all interested students from Ukraine, Belarus, and Moldova to participate in the essays and research papers competition on the topic: “Ukraine and the Crisis - Causes and Consequences” with a separate session “The economics of the presidential elections”.

We are looking for essays and research papers that use statistics or econometrics and rely on economic models, theory or economic reasoning to analyze causes and consequences of such a painful shock. Both essays and research papers should be based either upon original research done by a student or inspired by somebody else research with additional analysis conducted by the student.
The essays and research papers should be focused and precise and written in English.
