Researching Ukraine at War

How do Ukrainians make decisions at war time? What makes people more likely to evacuate a dangerous zone? What is the state of Ukrainian businesses and how do they rate their prospects of revovery? This podcast episode introduces Anastasiya Shurenkova and Natalia Zaika, two of the fellows from the Ukraine Research Network@ZOiS. In a conversation with Stefanie Orphal (ZOiS), they discuss their research on war related issues, how research could help adjusting policies and the question of the return of refugees to Ukraine. While they explain their methods and share preliminary results, they also talk about the way the war is affecting their daily work as researchers.
