Экономическая история России (на англ. языке)/ Russian Economic History

The aim of the class is to provide a review of Russian history via the lenses of modern economics.

The course combines historical narrative with formal economic analyses. There will be special attention to empirical evaluation of economic policies undertaken in the past, and what modern research can tell us about their impact on the Russian economy in the past and present. The learning outcome is that students will achieve working knowledge of Russian development, historical statistics, institutions and their evolution over time and will learn how to apply economic analysis to Russian history.

Экспериментальная экономика (на англ. языке)/ Experimental Economics

Experimental economics is a relatively new and vibrant field of economics. It is based on using controlled laboratory and field experiments with real human subjects to validate theoretical predictions from economic models, as well as to better understand psychological mechanisms underlying economic interactions. In this course, we will study the main methods of experimental design and analysis of experimental data. Besides, the course provides an overview over the major topics that have been addressed by economic experiments so far. At the end of the course, the students will be able to design their own economic experiments, as well as to use insights from published experimental papers for the analysis of a broad set of economic problems.

Экономика здоровья и здравоохранения (на англ. языке)/ Health economics

Health Economics is a field which has been rapidly growing in importance, not least because health care spending has been increasing steadily as a proportion of GDP around the world. However, the production of health involves much more than medical care; this course studies both what produces health as well as how we produce health care. The course will be part theory (building on microeconomic models and applications), part information-intensive and part the analysis of econometric evidence, with a strong (but not exclusive) interest in questions of major policy concern in Russia now. For the information-intensive part, a great deal will be comparative and international, and draw on materials of the OECD, World Bank and WHO. The modeling and the econometrics will draw on both seminal economics articles and - to make it live - recent working papers. As a result of the course, students are supposed to master the major models, theoretical and empirical, that help to understand health- and healthcare-provision-related behavior of individuals and institutions. The course will give special attention to healthcare organization in the leading countries and the application of cost benefit analysis to healthcare. Problem sets and research projects will accompany lectures and will provide opportunities to master the estimation techniques introduced during lectures.
