Social Inequality and the Russian Economy

The impact of oil, corruption, and state overreach on Russia's economy are well documented. Less well understood is how economic growth interacts with social inequality in Russia. Please join us for a discussion with Leonid Grigoryev, Professor in the Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs at the Higher School for Economics in Moscow, on how social and regional inequality are constraining Russia's economic recovery. Yuval Weber, the inaugural DMGS-Kennan Institute Fellow at the Daniel Morgan Graduate School, will serve as discussant. Olga Oliker will moderate.

This event is made possible by the generous support of Carnegie Corporation of New York.
