The Bank of Finland Institute for Economies in Transition (BOFIT) conducts high-level research on transition economics and monitors economic developments in Russia and China. Research focuses on (but is not limited to) issues related to macroeconomic performance and financial markets in transition economies. BOFIT publishes a discussion paper series and also a more policy-oriented BOFIT Online series. In addition, BOFIT Weekly follows economic developments in Russia and China.
BOFIT welcomes applications for posts in its Visiting Researchers Programme. Scholarships for 3–12 months are available for high-level research projects in areas pertinent to the Institute's research objectives. However, senior scholars seeking shorter research visits will also be considered. Scholars focusing on the Russian or Chinese economy are particularly encouraged to apply. The application period for the Visiting Researchers' Programme for 2011 has closed. BOFIT will release an announcement regarding the programme for 2012 in the spring of next year.
