Ivan Komarov’s Education

University of Maryland College Park

PhD, Economics, 1996 — 2004

Activities and Societies:

CEU Labor Project data collection of Russian companies in 1999. 538 companies interviewed, 70% filled out 50 page questionnaire. Results have formed the basis of my dissertation on non-monetary payments in Russia at the end of 90s. I attribute a large portion of barter to liquidity squeeze and credit absence as well as kartoteka practice of tax collection.
Central European University

MA, Economics, 1994 — 1996

My thesis was on boundaries of the firm where I researched why Russian companies in mid 90s didn't outsource (survival strategies and chaos, as well as no contract enforcement, demanded insourcing).

Activities and Societies:

1 year of Transition Economics Pilot Program
Graduated with Distinction
Novosibirskij Gosudarstvennyj Universitet

Diploma, Economics, 1989 — 1994
