Czech elections, interest rates, inflation, and the announcement of 2021 Nobel Prize Winners were among the topics that CERGE-EI experts commented on in the Czech media in October.
CERGE-EI celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. What was the main need or impulse that led to the founding of the postgraduate economic education institute in the Czech Republic? What were the main challenges? How has the institute changed in the three decades of its existence? CERGE-EI co-founder Jan Švejnar looks back in a vlog.
Assistant Professor Ole Jann, researcher and member of the CERGE-EI faculty, has received the prestigious Czech Science Foundation (GAČR) Junior Star grant for his project in the field of information economics. GAČR received a total of 315 applications, of which 16 were successful. Only two of the successful projects cover fields other than natural sciences.
