With the outbreak of the war in Ukraine in 2022, I began applying my research experience to support Ukraine’s resilience and the country’s reconstruction for a strong, peaceful, and prosperous future.
One of my studies is dedicated to examining the role of online platforms as a component of the digital economy in transforming the labor market in Ukraine, conducting an empirical study on the impact of the war as an exogenous shock on remote employment and gender disparities in this context. The study adopts a mixed-methods approach but primarily focuses on the use of an econometric model (differences-in-differences estimators) to analyze the data collected.
The second study is related to assessing how Ukrainian refugees in Germany influence the creation of new businesses and stimulate entrepreneurial activity among the local population. The method used is quantitative analysis of company registration data using econometric models (e.g., differences-in-differences) to evaluate the impact of refugees on business formation and to identify potential multiplier effects.
