Book presentation 'Regions of Imperial Russia: Identities, Representations, Meanings'
The book includes research articles on political, social, and cultural development of regions in different periods of the Russian Empire (XVIII - early XX centuries). The volume aims to emphasize that the region is not just a territory marked on a map or a site where history unfolds, but an important category of historical analysis. In the articles presented, the region appears as a historical subject that offers its own views of Russia's imperial past.
The authors of the edited volume will participate in the presentation.

Seminar 'Social Mobility and Preferences for Open Access Societies'
Modern democracies are different in the quality of economic institutions depending on the internal characteristics of the economy (the level of education of the population, the level of economic inequality). But at the same time, inequality and educational level are endogenous variables in the context of economic and social development. This study investigates a dynamic political economy model that provides a link between inequality, education, social mobility and the quality of economic institutions in democracies. Overlapping generation model is used, in which all agents are divided by three groups, depending on incomes and assets. Social mobility is determined by the parental endogenous education decision and by the level of barriers to entry on markets, which is a political outcome. The political structure of the model is described as a competition between an entrenched party that is able to influence voters' votes through hidden payments, and an opposition party that does not have such opportunity. For societies with electoral democracy, two possible stationary states are possible: no-entry and free-access to markets societies. The model predicts that if the share of nascent entrepreneurs is low enough and the perceived perspectives of upward mobility are sufficiently low, then the equilibrium with the lower level of education, the higher level of inequality and the lower social mobility will be realized. These theoretical results are supported by panel data models across countries in 2000-2019 years.
