Russian, E. European & Eurasian Center: Speakers

Ukraine is the largest country in Europe and its economy, bearing heavy burden of a Soviet-type economic planning, has managed to undergo fundamental economic transformations as well as integrate democratic values and principles into its social and economic development. However, the full-scale war of Russia against Ukraine essentially stalled its economic growth, caused enormous infrastructural destructions, disrupted previously existing supply chains on international markets to which Ukraine had been exporting. These and related issues challenging not only in terms of Ukraine’s economic development but also overall regional and global economic security including the prospects of post-war rebuilding will be discussed.

Pavlo Dziuba is a Visiting Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in the framework of the Scholars at Risk program. He holds a Ph.D. in economics (2006) and Doctoral Degree in Economics (2018) from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Ukraine), where he has been working for more than 20 years. He has also been teaching remotely as a Visiting Professor at Hong Kong Chu Hai College since 2020. He has authored and co-authored nine textbook chapters and three textbooks for students, along with numerous articles.

HIs teaching experience includes macroeconomics, international economics and international finance, risk management, international investment management and portfolio investing, financial management and financial markets, corporate social responsibility. Dziuba's research focuses on the impact of international diversification on investment portfolios, particularly on issues of how and why portfolio efficiency is increased as a result of diversifying internationally.
