We are extremely saddened to report the sudden death of Slava Vinogradov on Sunday, March 28th, 2010, after several weeks of hospitalization. Slava joined CERGE-EI in 1997 which means that his time here spanned 13 cohorts of CERGE-EI students.
His recent research culminated in a paper with Eugen Kováč and Krešimir Žigić (both CERGE-EI alumni), titled “Technological leadership and persistence of monopoly under endogenous entry: Static versus dynamic analysis” which is forthcoming in the Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control.
Slava was a wonderful colleague, an enthusiastic teacher and a good friend – he will be missed by many. Our deepest sympathies go to his family – his wife, two children, one just half a year old, and his mother.
