Excited About the 2nd Virtual Conference on Ukraine with Amazing Keynote Speakers!

The 2nd Virtual Conference on Ukraine (with free registration) will take place August 22-23, 2025.

Many thanks to the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden for providing support.

Last year I was involved with the first such conference and, this year, I am honored to be on the conference Scientific Committee as well as to be one of the keynote speakers. This conference will also have 3 Nobel Laureates in Economics delivering keynotes: 

  • Nobel Laureate Daron Acemoglu, MIT, USA
  • Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman, City University of New York, USA
  •  Roger Myerson, University of Chicago, USA
along with keynoters:
  • Yuriy Gorodnichenko, UC Berkeley, USA
  • Subal Kumbhakar, Binghamton University, USA.

I have the pleasure of working with Roger Myerson on the International Academic Board of the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) and the same for Yuriy Gorodnichenko.

We are also organizing a panel on “Challenges of Ukraine’s Post-War Reconstruction.”


The deadline for full papers or extended abstracts is approaching, so, please, also visit the website at KTH: https://www.kth.se/ukraine-conference
