The HSE is a young, dynamic, fast-growing Russian research university providing unique research opportunities. The IIMS is one of the first research institutes that have been established at the HSE. The Institute focuses on the empirical analysis of enterprise behavior and market development, as well as on the study of Russia’s business climate, competition policy, and state-business relations in the country. A key advantage of IIMS compared to traditional Russian research organizations in the social sciences is the creation of an extended empirical database, which is kept permanently updated with the help of regular Russian enterprises surveys carried out by the Higher School of Economics.
