Azizakhon Mukhammedova, PhD candidate in Econometrics and Statistics, opened the session with her presentation “Potential GDP and Output Gap.” She provided a clear and concise examination of these key macroeconomic concepts, focusing on their measurement and significance for economic policy and performance evaluation.
Azimjon Musamuhamedov, PhD candidate in Management, followed with “The role of income, happiness and norms on charitable giving in Uzbekistan.” His presentation explored the social and psychological drivers behind philanthropic behavior, analyzing how factors such as income, personal well-being, and social norms influence charitable decisions within the local context.
