    Researcher Mobility in Estonia and Factors that Influence Mobility Researcher Mobility in Estonia and Factors that Influence Mobility Authors: Rein Murakas (Editor), Indrek Soidla, Kairi Kasearu, Irja Toots, Andu Rämmer, Anu Lepik, Signe Reinomägi, Eve Telpt, Hella Suvi Published by Archimedes Foundation Translated by Kristi Hakkaja Graphic design by Hele Hanson-Penu / Triip Printed by Triip This publication is co-financed by the European Commission. ©Archimedes Foundation, 2007 The materials may be reproduced for non-commercial purposes if duly referred to. For commercial purposes a written permission must be obtained. ISBN 978–9985–9672–7–0 Dear Reader, The current survey was conducted in 2006 for Archimedes Foundation and the Esto- nian Ministry of Education and Research as part of the project EST-MOBILITY-NET, funded from the 6th EU Framework Pro- gramme for Research and Technological Estonia Development. The survey gives an overview of researcher mobility in Estonia and the factors that influence mobility, and draws parallels with similar surveys conducted in other countries. For the first time the survey studies the motivation of foreign researchers for coming to Estonia and the main reasons of Estonian researchers to go abroad to do research and to return to Estonia. The purpose of the project EST-MOBILITY- NET was to set up in Estonia a network of mobility centres giving mobile researchers and their families up-to-date information and support in all aspects related to mo- bility. The Estonian network, consisting of Archimedes Foundation, the Estonian Acad- emy of Sciences, the University of Tartu, Tallinn Technical University, the Estonian University of Life Sciences, and Tallinn Uni- versity, is a part of the pan-European ERA- MORE Network.

The 2018 Report is extremely important to us, as 2018 signals the operational completion of our project, and during this year: A) Both the construction and the full operation of the Ionia Odos motorway have been completed, a project linking 2 Regions, 4 prefectures and 10 Municipalities, giving a boost to development not only in Western Greece and Epirus, but in the whole country, B) Significant infrastructure upgrade projects have also been designed, implemented and completed at the A.TH.E Motorway section from Metamorphosis in Attica to Scarfia, a section we operate, maintain and manage. During the first year of the full operation of the motorways - with 500 employees in management and operation, with more than 350 kilometres of modern, safe motorways in 7 prefectures of our country with a multitude of local communities - we incorporated in our daily operations actions, activities and programs we had designed, aiming at supporting and implementing the key strategic and development pillars of our company for the upcoming years.

  • The Case of Estonia Raul Eamets
    Restricted macroeconomic policy and flexible labour market: the case of Estonia Raul Eamets First draft Introduction Following paper gives a brief overview of general macroeconomic developments in Estonia during 1992-2009 with focus on labour market and labour policy issues. We try to shed the light on factors influencing growth and explain labour market flexibility as one of the major factor of fast growth and economic adjustment. Radical and rapid introduction of market oriented institutions accompanied by high social costs are the most characteristic features of Estonian economic reforms. In general, the following characteristics describe Estonian economic policy options in 90-s: annually balanced state budget, fixed exchange rate and currency board type of monetary system, flexible labour market liberal trade policy, openness of economy, high speed of privatisation, flat income tax and low tax burden Important is that these policy options did not changed during different political coalitions. Despite of ideological platform of different parties, liberal economic policy low taxes, currency board arrangement and balanced budget has been always economic priority number one. This created trust and credibility and Estonia had one of the highest inflow of FDI per capita among post communist countries. But as result we can see also greater fall in output than in most CEE states, also relatively high inflation and very fast restructuring of economy. Also we can see increasing unemployment and drop of average nominal wages during economic recession. Because of annually balanced budget, low tax burden and currency board system we can claim that fiscal policy and monetary policy tools of government were very limited in Estonia.
