Voitenkov Valentin Aleksandrovich

Valentin Aleksandrovich Voitenkov serves as a Lecturer and postgraduate student at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE), specifically within the Faculty of Economic Sciences and Department of Applied Economics. He also holds research intern positions at the Scientific and Educational Laboratory of Spatial-Econometric Modeling of Socio-Economic Processes in Russia and the Institute for Statistical Research and Economics of Knowledge's Center for Quantitative Modeling.

Voitenkov earned his Master's degree in Economics from HSE in 2024, following a Bachelor's degree in Economics from Ural Federal University in 2022. He is currently in his first year of postgraduate studies with an approved dissertation topic focused on modeling household consumption structure in Russian regions under the influence of crises from 2008-2022, supervised by Olga Anatolyevna Demidova.

His research centers on household economics, microeconometrics, and regional economic analysis, with particular expertise in how various crises impact consumer behavior in Russian regions. His work employs sophisticated spatial-econometric modeling techniques to analyze regional economic patterns and responses to economic shocks. He has published extensively on topics including pandemic effects on consumption, export diversification in Russian regions, and the impact of geopolitical events on economic behavior.

Analysis of his publication record reveals a strong focus on the economic impacts of crises (particularly the 2020 pandemic and 2022 sanctions), with consistent application of advanced econometric methods to analyze regional economic data. His research spans household consumption patterns, export diversification, migration flows, and financial market behaviors across Russian regions.
