Dr. Pavlina R. Tcherneva is the Founding Director of OSUN-Economic Democracy Initiative and is an Associate Professor of Economics at Bard College and a Research Scholar at the Levy Economics Institute, NY. She wrote The Case for a Job Guarantee (2020) and has collaborated with policymakers from the US and abroad on designing and evaluating employment programs. She also worked with the Sanders 2016 Presidential campaign after her research on inequality had garnered national attention.
Tcherneva frequently speaks at Central Banks on Modern Monetary Theory and macro-economic stabilization policies. Her current research evaluates the impact of unemployment on growth, income inequality, and public health. In 2006, she was a visiting scholar at the University of Cambridge, UK, where she developed an interpretation of Keynes’s policy approach to full employment for which she was recognized by the Association for Social Economics with the Helen Potter Prize (2012).
