REQUIEM for DONBAS Three Essays on the Costs of War in Ukraine
JOHANNES KEPLER UNIVERSITY LINZ Altenberger Str. 69 4040 Linz, Austria www.jku.at, DVR 0093696 REQUIEM FOR DONBAS Three Essays on the Costs of War in Ukraine By Artem Kochnev A Doctoral Thesis submitted at Department of Economics to obtain the academic degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Doctoral Program “PhD Program in Economics” Supervisor and First Examiner Second Examiner em. Univ-Prof. Dr. Michael Landesmann Dr. habil. rer. soc. oec. Robert Stehrer May 2020 Abstract The thesis investigates short- and long-term effects of war on the economy of Ukraine. Specifically, it discusses the impact of separatists’ control and subsequent adverse trade policies on the real economy, responses of stock market investors to battle events, and the effect of conflict intensity on reform progress and institutional change in Ukraine. The thesis finds that the impact of war on the economy is most pronounced on the real economy of the war-torn regions. Whereas separatists’ control caused a decline in economic activity by at least 38%, the thesis does not find evidence supporting that the impact of conflict intensity on asset prices and institutional change in Ukraine was linear in parameters. The thesis explains the lack of the linear relationship between asset price move- ments and conflict intensity by investors’ inattention caused by information overload during the early stages of the conflict. Regarding the possible relationship between con- flict and institutional change, the thesis argues that it was electoral competition, not the conflict dynamics, that had an impact on the decision-making process of the policymak- ers in Ukraine. -

Why Did MH17 Crash?
“Why Did MH17 Crash?” Blame Attribution, Television News and Public Opinion in Southeastern Ukraine, Crimea and the De Facto States of Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and Transnistria GEOPOLITICS published in Vol 23, no. 4, 2018: 882-896 Gerard Toal School of Public and International Affairs Virginia Tech, National Capital Region Alexandria, VA 22314 [email protected] & John O’Loughlin Institute of Behavioral Science University of Colorado-Boulder Boulder, CO 80309 [email protected] 1 ABSTRACT Shock events are often pivotal moment in geopolitics, and objects of intense disagreement among conflicting parties. This paper examines the downing of a Malaysian Airlines passenger jet over eastern Ukraine in July 2014 and the divergent blame storylines produced on Russian and Ukrainian television about the event. It then examines results of a question asking why did MH17 crash in a simultaneous survey conducted in December 2014 in six oblasts in Southeastern Ukraine, Crimea, and the de facto states of AbkhaZia, South Ossetia, and Transnistria. Analysis of the surveys shows that blame attribution was driven more by television viewing habits than any other factor. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research was supported by a RAPID [grant 14-1442646] from the US National Science Foundation for the project “Attitudes and Beliefs in the Russian-Supported ‘de facto’ States and in South-east Ukraine in the Wake of the Crimean Annexation.” The authors wish to thank Natalia Kharchenko and Volodymyr Paniotto of the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS), and Alexei GraZdankin of the Levada Center, for their cooperation in the refinement of the survey questionaire and their subsequent supervision and professional administration of the survey in multiple locations in late 2014. -

Unas veces con ideas, que en un principio sonaban absurdas y otras con una simple llamada de teléfono porque habían visto una película o un documental que hablaba de la radio. Pero no sólo se ha tratado de información, cuanto más baja era mi moral, más fuerte era su apoyo. Siempre encontraban alguna forma de que viese la parte buena. Especial atención a mi familia, a mi madre sobre todo. Esas llamadas a altas horas de la noche, donde conseguía sacarme una sonrisa pese a mi desesperación. El Innombrable, así es como lo hemos bautizado en casa. Lo empecé, lo perdí, lo dejé aparcado, lo volví a coger, y así hasta hoy. Gracias por aguantar mi mal humor cuando me quedaba atascada y no sabía por dónde continuar. Gracias porque sin ti este proyecto no sería una realidad, porque sin ti, seguramente yo nunca hubiera puesto un pie en esta Escuela. De Económicas a Telecomunicaciones, menudo cambio, quien me lo iba a decir. Eres mi referente, y espero algún día poder inculcar esos mismos valores que tú nos has enseñado a mis hijos. -
IMMIGRATION and PROTECTION TRIBUNAL NEW ZEALAND [2015] NZIPT 800742 at AUCKLAND Appellant: AB (Ukraine) Before: L Moor (Memb
IMMIGRATION AND PROTECTION TRIBUNAL [2015] NZIPT 800742 NEW ZEALAND AT AUCKLAND Appellant: AB (Ukraine) Before: L Moor (Member) Representative for the Appellant: J Yakunina Counsel for the Respondent: No Appearance Dates of Hearing: 2 & 3 June 2015 Date of Decision: 25 June 2015 ___________________________________________________________________ DECISION _________________________________________________________________ [1] This is an appeal against a decision of a refugee and protection officer, declining to grant refugee status and/or protected person status to the appellant, an ethnic Russian citizen of Ukraine. INTRODUCTION [2] The appellant claims to be at risk of being persecuted because he objects to being forced to serve in the Ukrainian military against ethnic Russians. He also fears harm at the hands of the Ukrainian authorities or pro-Ukrainian extremist groups, as he opposes the current Ukrainian government and fears being viewed as a separatist. [3] The Tribunal finds that the appellant’s account is credible. For the reasons which follow, it finds that the appellant does have a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of political opinion. He would face a term of imprisonment if he refuses to serve in the Ukrainian military. The Ukrainian military is currently engaged in a conflict in which it commits internationally condemned acts through breaches of international humanitarian law and international human rights law, and 2 there is no alternative to service available to him. The Tribunal finds the appellant is a refugee. [4] Given that the same claim is relied upon in respect of all limbs of the appeal, it is appropriate to record it first. THE APPELLANT’S CASE [5] The account which follows is that given by the appellant at the appeal hearing. -

Se realizó un estudio transversal con una encuesta en línea recopilando datos en diferentes regiones de Colombia, a través de un cuestionario validado estructurado y de diseño propio basado en el asesoramiento público general de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) sobre la prevención de la COVID-19. Este estudio ha empleado la técnica de muestreo de bola de nieve, y contó con 445 participantes (46,5% hombres y 53,5% mujeres). Se identificó que las mujeres no solo tienen un mejor conocimiento, sino que su comportamiento en la práctica es mucho mejor que sus contrapartes masculinas.
