这是由妇女研究机会计划和经济学计划支持的职业发展奖。这类奖项的主要目的是使有前途的女学者能够提高她们的研究效率。有了这笔奖金，研究者将专注于获得经济学研究生水平的培训。研究者的专业领域是苏联农业史。这次训练将使她能够把经济分析纳入她对苏联的研究中。研究者已经在俄罗斯北部的三个地区收集了丰富的村级农业总体和非农业就业数据集。她的研究将集中在19世纪的劳动力迁移使用这些和其他数据。将制定一个分析框架，以衡量19世纪农民移徙对乡村社区、农村发展和工业发展进程的影响。这项研究对于更好地理解经济发展过程尤为重要。

This is a Career Advancement Award supported under the Research Opportunities for Women Program and the Economics Program. The broad purpose of this type of award is to enable promising women scholars to increase their research productivity. With this award, the investigator will concentrate on acquiring graduate level training in economics. The investigator's field of expertise is agricultural history of the Soviet Union. This training will allow her to incorporate economic analysis into her study of the Soviet Union. The investigator has already gathered a rich, village level data set of agriculture in general and also of nonagricultural employment in three districts in Northern Russia. Her research will focus on nineteenth century labor migration using these and other data. An analytical framework will be developed to measure the impact of peasant migration on the village community, on rural development, and the process of industrial development during the nineteenth century. This research is particularly important for developing a better understanding of the economic development process.
