Sweden has pledged SEK 114 billion in support to Ukraine – its largest commitment to another country in modern times. At a seminar hosted by the European Parliament in Stockholm, Torbjörn Becker, Director of the Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics (SITE), warned that Russia’s war economy is under mounting pressure and argued that sustained Western support can ultimately determine the outcome.

Maria Perrotta Berlin, Assistant Professor at SITE, contributed to the Sorbonne Alliance research initiative “Europe and the War in Ukraine” - a joint project led by ESCP Business School, INALCO, and Paris Sorbonne Nouvelle examining the war’s consequences for Europe in geopolitical, geoeconomic, and business terms.

The SSE Center for Retailing and the SSE Center for the Philosophy of Markets this week invited to a research seminar with Paul Milgrom, the 2020 co-recipient of the most prestigious recognition in the field of Economics.

The 2025 Nobel Prize discussion at the Stockholm School of Economics brought together the three economics laureates Joel Mokyr, Peter Howitt and Philippe Aghion to explore how creative destruction shapes economic growth in an era of rapid technological change. From the lessons of history to the challenges posed by artificial intelligence, the conversation highlighted both opportunities and risks in a conversation moderated by Professor Richard Friberg.

How do we know if public money is well spent? And why do evaluation and audit matter for democracy and accountability? Former European Court of Auditors member Eva Lindström shared her experience with SSE students in a packed Lunch & Learn session hosted by the House of Governance and Public Policy (GaPP).

Jaakko Meriläinen, a political economist specializing in democratic governance and development, has been granted tenure and promoted to Associate Professor at the Stockholm School of Economics. The promotion reflects his valuable contributions to research, teaching, and academic service.

What if wellbeing growth became a formal societal target — measured, tracked, and used to guide decision-making? In this seminar, we explore the first results of the Stockholm Wellbeing Index, a new quarterly index aiming to understand how wellbeing is developing across the city.
