My academic qualifications are from the Faculty of Economics , Moscow State University .


I have been with Monash University since 1994. 

My previous experience was at applied econometric modelling and macro- and regional economic forecasting  in the former Soviet Union.  In 1985-1991 I was working on alternative submissions on economic reforms.  Some of the latest projects of that time were: an alternative plan of privatisation of government owned enterprises; feasibility studies of joint ventures; and a joint Soviet-American project on economic consequences of the reduction in defense expenditure in both countries.  I used to teach post-graduate students in Moscow and had experience of guest lecturing at several American universities.  Since 1991 academic year I have joined the Australian academic community.  In 1991, I was visiting Charles Sturt University (Wagga Wagga, NSW), and then, in 1992-1993 academic years I taught at The University of Melbourne.



Current Areas of Teaching:

  • ECW3830 Competition and Regulation
  • ECX2123 Economics of Innovation and High Technology

 Areas of Research Interest

  • Economcs of High Technology and Information Product Markets;
  • Economic reforms, deregulation and privatisation;
  • Economic reforms in former communist countries.


Academic Governance  

I am Deputy Head of the Department of Economics.   I am responsible for the department's education portfolio.  This means coordinating economics course work across all campuses of Monash Unversity in Australia and overseas where the economics disciplene is offered.
