Center for Social and Economic Research - CASE Ukraine

is a non-government non-profit organization founded by Polish CASE Foundation in early 1999. The aim of the Center is to promote research in the economic, political and social spheres and to contribute to the process of development of civil society in Ukraine.

CASE Ukraine has a substantial research background. Since 1995 our experts have worked in a number of joint projects with Harvard Institute for International Development (HIID), the Soros International Economic Advisory Group (SIEAG), the Barents Group and other.

CASE Ukraine is a member of the CASE Network, founded by CASE Foundation. The network includes think-tanks in Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia, and Kyrgyzstan. As a member of the network CASE Ukraine can benefit from the experience, and include in the project staff local and international researchers working in CIS and Eastern European countries where CASE is present.

Areas of Concentration

Macroeconomic policy: tax reform, financial sector reform, fiscal imbalance measurement, demonetization, exchange rate policy and financial crises. A large part of our work is designated to the challenges that transition countries face in the sphere of institutional development: virtual economy, barter, arrears, property rights protection, non-monetary transactions and other.

Enterprise restructuring and development: study of effects of privatization on enterprise performance; conduct of enterprise surveys; studies on economic growth, competitiveness assessment, foreign direct investment, bankruptcy procedures, and taxation.

Banking sector: complex analyses of banking system functioning: the role of banks in enterprise crediting and growth of the economy, central bank's policies in the sphere of bank regulation and supervision.

Trade policy: studies on the issues of foreign trade policies in the context of WTO accession.

Social policy: conduct of household survey in 1999 and 2000 to get reliable information on living standards in Ukraine; analysis of informal labor market in the frames of development of the National program to combat poverty.

Public sector reform: strengthening the reform capacity. Our team assisted in many reform efforts in Ukraine, especially in developing the government programs: Pynzenyk comprehensive reform package "Economic Growth-1997" and the Yushchenko government's program "Reforms for Welfare" in spring 2000.
