Pavlo (Pasha) Buryi, Ph.D. Associate Professor and Program Lead of Economics

Dr. Pavlo Buryi earned his Ph.D. in Economics, along with a Masters degree and Bachelors degree, from Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Prior to joining Harrisburg University of Science and Technology, he held faculty positions at the University of Tampa, and Northern Illinois University. His primary field of expertise is the Economics of Innovation and Technological Change.

Dr. Buryi’s research focuses on the importance of product R&D and the role of public support in promoting such R&D. He developed a microeconomic model of product R&D to provide a theoretical basis for optimal choices of private investment and matching public support, used in widely popular “matching grant” state programs. Moreover, by introducing international competition into the basic theoretical framework of the matching game, he considers public support for product R&D as an optional policy of import substitution. Finally, his research provides an optimal structure of public R&D support.
