Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S9 Ep16: What's next for Ukraine: The labour market
Q: What policy measures could help veterans reintegrate into civilian jobs?
A mix of retraining subsidies, hiring incentives for firms, and psychological support will be important, along with international support for financing these programs during reconstruction.

Q: What does the data say about the ability of firms to fill vacancies during the war?

S9 Ep16: What's next for Ukraine: The labour market
Q: How do you measure exposure to the war for labor market effects?
We use online air raid alarm data as a proxy for exposure, classifying regions from low to high exposure and including contested regions to capture the full geographic spread of disruption.
S9 Ep15: What's next for Ukraine: Reconstruction
Q: How do we make sure that we minimize any potential corruption problems?
Standardizing procurement methods can increase transparency and reduce corruption, along with systems that monitor government officials' financial activities.

Many people who left Eastern and Southern areas that are currently damaged and not as livable will likely not return there, necessitating more housing supply in places like Kyiv and Lviv.
