Events at CERGE-EI

PhD and former MA in Applied Economics students will present six of the applied projects they worked on this year.

• Policy uncertainty is difficult to measure. This project finds a way by exploring media coverage. 
• How successful are second-generation immigrants? This project explores their success in the U.S. labor market. 
• Public spaces affect quality of living. In this project, real estate prices are used as a proxy to quantify this effect. 
• Is it economically viable to remodel the Negrelli viadukt in Karlin and turn it into a creative incubator? 
• Are kids from differently educated families given the same chance for a better future? This project studies the connections between parental education and children’s attendance of kindergarten. 
• Current monetary policy is in an unusual situation, as interest rates are at the zero-lower bound. What are the implications?
