Russian Summer School on Institutional Analysis 2019
Dates: June, 30 – July, 6
Venue: Imperial Park Hotel & SPA
The scope of topics ranged from agricultural technology in the Russian Empire and voting preferences to corruption on license plates and incentive contracts in academia.
'Explain your research in 3 minutes. If I don’t understand you in 3 minutes, you probably don’t understand what you are doing,' said John Nye at the welcome ceremony. On the first day, all the participants had to follow this rule and deliver a 3-minutes one-slide presentation. Alexey Samkov, (HSE University), received the best short presentation award for it.
The participants spent the next two days improving their research proposals with each other's help - each participant had to be a discussant of someone else’s work. Natalia Vasilenok (HSE University) provided structured and detailed comments and was chosen as the best discussant.
On the last two days of the summer school, after discussing their research ideas with faculty and fellow participants, everyone had to give conference-style presentations of their research proposals. Laura Comincini (University of Glasgow) and Tom Eeckhout (Ghent University) were awarded for giving the best presentations at RSSIA.
Our Summer School is aimed at helping young researchers look at their proposals from a different angle and improve them significantly. Rutcher Lacaza (University of the Philippines) and Jing Li (Peking University) made significant progress with their research and both of them were awarded for their hard work and progress during RSSIA.
