ISET graduates have once again proved their versatility by passing the first level of the Chartered Financial Analyst Program.
Economics and finance are often treated as two separate disciplines, with economics viewed as being more concerned with the “big picture” and finance more industry or company-specific, yet there remains a degree of overlap, and there is little doubt that both fields complement each other. Recent trends of working more theory-based study into finances has resulted in an even greater degree of convergence.
This year, three ISET graduates – Nino Khatisashvili, Tamta Gelashvili and Ketevan Mtsuravishvili – passed Level 1 of the CFA Program. They have followed in the footsteps of two other ISETers, Nino Sharumashvili (Class of 2010) and Rati Gabrichidze (Class of 2008), who also undertook the CFA exam.
ISET-PI’s Social Policy Research Center presented research results on internal migration in Georgia at an international conference “Recent Migratory Processes and Europe: Challenges and Opportunities” that took place on September 29-30th in the Tbilisi Biltmore Hotel. The presentation had already been given in the week before at a conference of the Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics in Kiev, Ukraine, and two weeks earlier at a workshop on regional economics held at the Ural Federal University in Ekaterinburg, Russia. The authors of the study are Florian Biermann, Zurab Abramishvili, Maka Chitanava, and Nino Doghonadze.
