Dr. Bychkova received her bachelor’s degree and Ph.D from Odessa Mechnikov National University, both in economics.
Together, we discussed the war’s impact on educational outcomes and human capital, what post-war recovery efforts should look like, and some of the ESG concerns pre-war, and how to address them during reconstruction.
