Description:

The project is designed to examine the underlying economic processes and determinants driving the restructuring of industry in Russia and Ukaine, with a specific focus on particular regions where former military production has been converted to civilian production.

The project seeks to address:
(1) how the restructuring and civil conversion processes have affected the performance of the industrial sector in these emerging market economies, and
(2) the socio-economic impact of these processes at the household level.

Comprehensive registry data for Russian and Ukrainian enterprises will be used, as well as an extensive household survey data set.

The project is led by the German Institute for Economic Research and includes partners from across the EU as well as Russia and Ukraine. Outside of the specific research goals, the project also seeks to build the research capacity of partner institutions in Russia and Ukraine.
