    Labor Markets and Innovation during Times of War and Reconstruction

    Online

    The Russian aggression against Ukraine has brought incredible destruction in Ukraine and suffering for the Ukrainian population. In the first two months after February 24th, 2022, economic activities came to a standstill for most Ukrainian workers and firms. However, as time passed, the Ukrainian population has shown its resilience and tremendous courage as economic activity slowly but steadily recovered. Like in many prior conflicts, labor markets and economic production have continued to exist in Ukraine.

3rd IZA/HSE Workshop on Skills and Preferences and Labor Market Outcomes in Post-transition and Emerging Economies
September 26, 2019 - September 27, 2019
About the Workshop

Most empirical research on skills (cognitive and non-cognitive) and preferences has largely relied on data from high-income, industrialized countries. There is, however, a growing literature that extends this line of research to post-transition and emerging economies, which may be of particular scientific interest because it gives the opportunity to study contexts with a much wider variability of conditions.

Therefore, we are very pleased to announce the Third IZA - Higher School of Economics Workshop on the formation of skills and preferences and their impact on the labor market in post-transition and emerging economies. The aim of the workshop is to bring together a number of junior and senior researchers to discuss their recent empirical and experimental studies on the above broad theme.

We strive for a regional balance regarding the presented research. Hence, we invite research from China, Central Asia, Latin America, North Africa, the post-Soviet region and Central and Eastern Europe.

Topics of the workshop will include (but are not limited to):
  • The formation of cognitive and non-cognitive skills in early childhood and adolescence
  • Measurement of preferences and skills using survey instruments and experiments
  • Malleability of preferences and cognitive and non-cognitive skills, and their rank order stability
  • Preferences and skills as driving factors of selection into labor market states and geographic mobility
  • Discrimination in labor markets
  • Long-term effects of educational interventions targeted at cognitive and non-cognitive skills
Hilmar Schneider (CEO of IZA) will deliver the invited lecture.
