On November 10, ISET hosted an EBRD group with a keynote speaker, Alexander Plekhanov, Deputy Director of Research at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development in London. He presented the EBRD’s Transition Report, entitled “Transition for All: Equal Opportunities in an Unequal World”. During a one-hour presentation, Dr. Plekhanov mainly concentrated on three parts of the report: convergence and inequality, the impact of transition on well-being and inequality of opportunity. The results of the report are based on a household survey during the first months of 2016, named “The third round of the Life in Transition Survey (LiTS III)”. The survey included data from 34 countries, and was conducted by the EBRD and the World Bank.

Like almost everyone else across the European continent, ISET has the utmost respect for Scandinavian economic power, and in recent weeks has been deepening ties with economic institutions in the region. As well as hosting guests from the Stockholm School of Economics, ISET also dispatched two members of its resident faculty to Norway.
Two ISET faculty members, Professor Noberto Pignatti and Post Doctorate Fellow Zurab Abramishvili, attended a one-week intensive experimental seminar series at the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH) in Bergen. One of the top laboratory experimental economists, Professor Armin Falk (https://www.cens.uni-bonn.de/team/board/armin-falk), gave presentations on his most important and cited studies about human behavior and the 'choice problem'.
