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.
The ISET Policy Institute, together with the National Bank of Georgia and the National Statistics Office of Georgia (GeoStat) hosted a two-day conference on financial soundness indicators for Georgia with the financial support of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The event took place on 12-13 June 2014 at the Hotel Radisson Blu Iveria in Tbilisi.
Financial soundness indicators (FSI) are statistical measures compiled to monitor the health and soundness of financial institutions and markets. FSIs include aggregated information on financial institutions and indicators that are representative of the markets in which financial institutions operate.
