Interview with ICEF professors
“Self-Learning Skills Are the Core Future Skills You’ll Need in Your Career”
Associate Professor Anna Yurko holds a PhD in Economics and is coordinating ICEF’s MSc Programme as Assistant Academic Supervisor. Anna’s research interests lie at the interface of economics and social sciences. Her 2015 study into the multiple-child allowance policy, co-authored with Fabian Slonimczyk, was conferred the Yegor Gaidar Award. In this interview with HSE Talks podcast, Anna tells about how economics knowledge helps her to explore the education industry, what’s wrong with current system of career guidance among school students, and which skillset seems to be the most useful for experts of the future.

Vincent gives the answer as to whether crisis of ideas even happens with research community, why techies shouldn’t underestimate financial intuition, and how to make a student thesis a success when it explores the trendy topic of the cryptocurrencies.
