Roger Alcaly on CERGE-EI
“I am continually impressed by the vitality and promise of the diverse CERGE-EI student body and by CERGE-EI's success in educating students from developing countries in modern economics. The doctoral program attracts the most promising students from a wide range of regions and educational backgrounds. Importantly, a huge percentage of CERGE-EI graduates remain in the region to serve in creating and implementing economic policy for developing countries that are often still emerging from the effects of communism. CERGE-EI's program is extremely cost-effective and ranks among the best efforts at making possible a rational, productive future for this region and the world.”
