А CSDSI team is joint by a final year graduate student at Ecole Polytechnique in France David Berthier.

His major is in economics and applied mathematics. David is going to join the French treasury after graduating. He had the opportunity to make a summer internship, and I wished to work on social sciences oriented topics. As part of homework of economy of inequalities development course, he read Irina Denisova’s paper “Poverty is no crime: measuring poverty in russian regions”. (Going to Russia, from a cultural and linguistic point of view, was a great oppotunity for David). He is supervised by Gunes Gokmen, Senior Research Fellow of the CSDSI.
