It is a pleasure to announce that the Jan Švejnar and Katherine Terrell Teaching Prize at CERGE-EI for the 2020/2021 academic year was awarded jointly to faculty members Ctirad Slavík (macroeconomics) and Paolo Zacchia (statistics). Congratulations!
On 21 September, CERGE-EI’s Filip Matějka will give a lecture on Human Inattention for The Learned Society of the Czech Republic. You can join the lecture (in Czech) via YouTube live stream.
