Aleksandr Kazakov

Aleksandr Kazakov is a Researcher at the Leibniz Institute for Economic Research Halle (IWH) in the Financial Markets Department since September 2020. His research focuses on banking stability, subsidy programs, and the effectiveness of incentive programs, particularly analyzing their impacts on credit markets and productivity.

He pursued studies at Saint Petersburg State University and Friedrich Schiller University of Jena. His doctoral work with the DPE program investigates banking system dynamics and the role of subsidies during financial crises.

His 2022 working paper in IWH Discussion Papers No. 24 explores how government subsidies influence credit markets, revealing increased lending volumes without crowding out non-subsidized firms, though elevated credit risk arises in banks heavily exposed to subsidized entities.

No academic awards or grants are explicitly mentioned, but his affiliation with IWH indicates participation in collaborative research teams focused on economic development and financial stability.
