Zvi Griliches was one of the founders of the New Economic School in Moscow and was one of its main academic architects. Zvi served as a member of the International Advisory Board of NES from its inception until his death. During this period, Zvi made many trips to NES. He taught econometrics at NES, and helped shape the program in econometrics. Zvi also helped enlist the first cohort of visiting professors to NES and he opened the door for the first graduates of NES to the best graduate schools in the US for Ph.D. Studies. He was NES’s Godfather.

Zvi Grilliches and his contribution to the theory of human capital was the topic of the distinguished lecture delivered by Reuben Gronau (Hebrew University) at the XIV NES Research Conference in October 2003
