I joined the Department in September 2006 as a Lecturer in Business Economics. I received a BSc. (1st class Hons) in Economics from the Belarusian State Economic University in 1997. After three years' experience working as senior economist in the largest Belarusian banking institution, I undertook my doctoral degree at the Department of Economics and International Development, University of Bath, which I completed in 2006. My thesis examined the financial development of transition economies in Central and Eastern Europe between 1990-2002, within the financial repression paradigm. My particular focus was on Belarus, a controversial and yet understudied system associated with relative economic success but limited reform. By examining whether controls imposed on the financial sector in the late 1990s facilitated financial deepening, and analysing the consequences of the inflationary financing of the Belarusian economy, my doctoral study sought to evaluate the efficiency of Belarus' monetary-credit policy and to answer the question of whether the Belarusian alternative approach to transition could claim to be successful. Before commencing my lectureship at SSEES, I was working at the University of Glasgow as a Research Assistant for Prof. Stephen White on an ESRC-funded project entitled, 'Inclusion without Membership? Bringing Russia, Ukraine and Belarus closer to Europe'. I was involved in the statistical analysis of mass surveys and other data generated for the project.
