The new Brown Bag Seminar will be held on Thursday, November 15, 2018 at 14:00 in Hall 51 at the Faculty of Economics in Zagreb.
The presentation will be held by Ms. Nora Mustač (Department for Macroeconomics and Economic Development), which will present the doctoral thesis-in-emerging "Russia and China: divergence of growth rates after transition".
Short summary of the presentation:
After the transition, the Chinese economy has one of the world's largest economic growth rates, while Russia is stagnating and regressing. Why did China's transition "bring" to the high rates of growth, and Russia is not, what are the reasons for China's economic success and the Russian failure of transition, and where are the links to the Croatian transition and its success? First, it is a matter of the two most economically powerful transition countries with a similar initial model of the socialist planning economy. Therefore, the outcomes of their market transformation are crucial for the overall assessment of the results of the transition. Second, their economic performance has a significant influence on the transition processes in Croatia. Particularly strong economic relations between Croatia and Russia in the pre-transition period and their reduction during transition have directly affected the level of economic activity and the specificity of the consequent deindustrialization of the Croatian economy.
The Brown Bag Seminar (BBS) is an informal one-hour workshop with aim to presenting research in different stages of design (ideas, rounded theoretical framework, conducted empirical research, etc.), promoting discussion and creating a stimulating environment focused on constructive discussion between exhibitors and the rest of participants of the seminar. The basic idea of the BBS is to create a platform where, at least once a month, FEB employees will have the opportunity to present the ideas and articles they work on within their scientific-research work.
We invite you to respond and help with your constructive comments to exhibitors, and expose the topics you are currently working on, unpublished works or present the research ideas you are thinking about.
