The Appointments Committee of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) reached the decision to promote NES professor Mikhail Drugov to a Research Fellow position.
Promotion to Research Fellow is something akin to ‘tenure’ at CEPR and future renewals will be based only on CEPR activity, the Appointments Committee notes. This appointment is for a period of four years, until 2024, renewable without limit. The decision about promotion was based on professor Drugov’s level of CEPR activity, measured, inter alia, on the number of DPs submitted, workshops or meetings attended, VoxEU contribution, conferences organised, grants managed through CEPR, etc.
The Center for Economic Policy Research is an independent research and policy-making organization, founded in 1983. Today, CEPR’s network of Research Fellows and Affiliates includes over 1,300 of the top economists conducting research on issues affecting the European economy.
CEPR members are also NES professors Olga Kuzmina (Research Affiliate, International Trade and Regional Economics Program), Marta Troya-Martinez (Research Affiliate, Industrial Organization Program), Ruben Enikolopov (Research Fellow, Development Economics Program), Andrey Markevich (Research Fellow, Economic History Program), Maria Petrova and Shlomo Weber (both Research Fellows, Public Economics Program).
