Detailed Information about Academic Forum 'Economy'

Academic Forum "Economy" is the successor of the International School for Young Economists, carried out in ten editions in the period 1977-1995. Until 1990, the School was organized by the Club of Young Economist at the Institute of Economics of BAS, and thereafter – by its successor Club "Economika 2000".
