Teachers' and politicians' salaries, the abolition of the "super-gross wage", government interventions against the economic crisis, and the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on mental health were all topics commented on by our researchers for Czech media during August. A regularly updated list of the media outcomes of CERGE-EI and IDEA experts is available here.
Some of our PhD Candidates are finishing their studies at CERGE-EI throughout this summer. We wish all the best to those who were successful and keep our fingers crossed for those who are about to shine.
Our alumnus Dejan Kovac spoke about his research projects at Princeton University in an interview for the CERGE-EI blog. Dejan, who graduated in 2018, told us why he decided to run for president of Croatia in 2019, and revealed a bit about his future professional plans.
