Public Talk by William Pyle

William Pyle is the Frederick C. Dirks Professor of International Economics at Middlebury College. He holds a B.A. in History from Harvard College, an M.A. in Russian and East European Studies from Indiana University, and a Ph.D. in Economics from Duke University. This fall, he is a Visiting Researcher at the Bank of Finland’s Institute for Emerging Economies (BOFIT). His research has transitioned of late from a focus on the behavior of Russian firms to an exploration of the shorter- and longer-term social consequences of Russia’s early-1990s economic shock, particularly for public opinion.
