With a clearer outlook and major developments (for example, Ukraine is now a candidate country to join the European Union), there is an urgent need to lay the groundwork for future recovery efforts, not only to increase the chances of post-war success but also to give hope to the millions of Ukrainians who have found the courage and strength to fight in the most difficult conditions. Join us on February 14 for a hybrid event at the Social Sciences Building, Social Sciences Matrix, 820 for a panel discussion with Berkeley Economics faculty members Yuriy Gorodnichenko, Gérard Roland and Roger Myerson (University of Chicago).

The topics covered range from infrastructure to institutions to education to organization of aid. A recent CEPR report “Rebuilding Ukraine: Principles and Policies” provides a background for the panel. Learn more
