Introduction

ASPE is one of the first professional associations established in the field of economics in Russia. Its objective is to expand on its community orientation in the regions of Russia to become an internationally recognized facilitator of communication and scholarly exchange among scholars, students and professionals studying and working in public economics.

Activities/Services

ASPE produces public and private services devised to develop the quality of teaching, research and policy implementation in the public sector in Russia. Our members form a network and are provided with an annual ASPE international conference, research seminars and internet information facilities regarding international scientific events. Working papers, submitted by members, are published on the web-site. Discussion e-mail lists and forums as well as an open data base with members personal information will be available soon. Texts for public economics and research and teaching materials on the impact of reform in Russia will be published next year with funding from the Open Society Institute in Russia.

All ASPE resources and activities are also open to non-members and constitute public services, which  were financed by Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) until 2002 and  by the Open Society Institute (Soros Foundation) from 2002 to 2004.

 

Members/Customers

Since the date of its establishment in June 2000, the membership in Russia and CIS of ASPE has grown to nearly 100. Among the members are university professors, students, researchers and professional economists. The membership also includes public sector economists in European universities and graduate students from Russia studying abroad. ASPE has also provided a forum for Russian and European government officials to meet with and address the Russian community of public sector economists, bringing closer attention to such critical policy issues as health care, welfare reform, transparency, subsidy reduction, municipal government creation, applications of public choice theory to Russian experience, and regional government finance. Members of the Russian government and research institutes take part in annual conferences and seminars.
