Intentions to Migrate in Armenia
- Details
On April 7, 2014, ISET hosted Dr. Aleksandr Grigoryan from the American University of Armenia, who presented his paper “Who else emigrates from Armenia? Evidence from intentions”. The paper addressed two main questions: what influences decision making as to whether to migrate? What was the main trend during recent years?
The literature suggests different explanations for the incentives to migrate, like the wage gap between the home country and country of destination or receiving remittances from abroad. Dr. Grigoryan decided to focus on remittances, exploring the relationship between the later and intensions to migrate in Armenia.
ISET Hosts Dialogue on the Contribution of Agricultural Cooperatives to Rural Development in Georgia
- Details
There has been much discussion recently about agricultural cooperatives in Georgia, and for good reason. Over the past two years, we’ve seen a new law on agricultural cooperatives come into effect, and the rollout of the European Neighborhood Program for Agriculture and Rural Development (ENPARD), which will seek to support the development of business-oriented farmer groups across the country.
On March 27, 2014, ISET held a dialogue in order to critically think about these initiatives, as well as to discuss lessons learned from past efforts by international donors and NGOs to support farmer groups or more generally improve farmers’ market linkages.
