ISET continues a Lecture Series of TSU’s Distinguished Professors. Once a month notable TSU professors from various faculties deliver a one hour presentation for ISET-ers.
On October 29, 2014, ISET Conference Hall hosted the Vice Rector of Tbilisi State University Levan Aleksidze, presenting the topic “People’s Right to Self-Determination; Separatism in a Contemporary International Context”. In this presentation, Aleksidze talked about the difference between two notions domestic law and international law. How these laws define and sometimes fail to define the political environment in the world. During the lecture he discussed cases both from Georgia – Abkhazia and South Ossetia, and the rest of the world - Kosovo, Crimea, etc.
On May 29, Dr. Maksym Obrizan, from the Kyiv School of Economics, provided an interesting seminar on the subject of his working paper, "Retirement in HRS participants: the role of endogenous subjective and objective health measures".
The speaker began by introducing the essence of his research. Which factors affect the decision to retire? Existing studies identify factors such as health insurance, financial incentives and, perhaps most importantly, health conditions. However, such studies tend to ignore individual heterogeneity.
