    Abstract: The Russian gas market is highly regulated. In this paper we examine possible impacts of regulatory changes on the demand side of this market. In particular, we consider the effects on Russian energy consumers of removing natural gas subsidies, and how changes in Russian gas consumption may affect its gas export to Europe. We also examine the importance of Russian pipeline capacity to Europe, as well as impacts of hypothetical changes in Russian gas export behavior. For this purpose, we use a detailed numerical model for the energy markets in Europe and Russia – LIBEMOD. Our results suggest that removing implicit subsidies to Russian gas consumers will have substantial impacts on total consumption of gas in Russia, especially in the electricity sector. Gas exports to Europe will be significantly affected as more gas becomes available for exports. Removal of other market imperfections in the Russian energy markets has smaller impacts on prices and quantities than removing gas subsidies. More competitive Russian gas export behavior would lead to much higher gas export to Europe, but our results suggest that Russian welfare would drop due to lower gas export prices.

    Abstract: The research considers the impact of ethnic diversity on social capital in the Russian context. The theoretical study is based on Putnam’s hypothesis related to the impact of ethnic diversity on social capital. The empirical basis of a representative survey was compiled in two multicultural regions of Russia (N = 2061). To assess the level of ethnic diversity an Ethnic Diversity Index (EDI) was calculated based on the results of the latest National Population Census. Data were processed using two-level structural equitation modelling. The results showed that ethnic diversity did not affect adversely the social capital of Russia, as assumed in Putnam’s hypothesis. In particular, Russia's ethnic diversity positively influences ethnic tolerance and informal sociability and does not affect social trust and community organizational life. The article also suggests reasons for these results

    Abstract: Business cycle, that is, the alternation of ups and downs in the economy, is an integral part of the economic development of any country. Obviously, the government, business, and ordinary citizens need to understand at what phase of the cycle is the economy. The word "recession" is now often heard in the statements of officials and analysts, however, general agreement about the fact whether our economy entered into a recession or not, it is not observed. Therefore, economists useful to have some common criteria for determining the phase of the business cycle, some reputable dating ups and downs, which could refer to the authorities and the business community. In most developed countries, there are some reputable organizations that produce such an analysis from the first half of the twentieth century. The Russian economy is on the path of market development only twenty-odd years ago, and therefore similar work in Russia is very small. In such a situation it is very important to understand the processes that characterize Russian business cycle (business cycle), the description of the basic properties of these fluctuations and formation mechanisms to set a phase of the cycle is the economy at a given time.

    Abstract: The paper proposes one of the first attempts to conceptualize the “human capital” in science and technology gatekeeping in Russia, based on obtaining sociological data on real active subjects. The study strives to provide analytical information on the specific characteristics and stances of individuals making a decisive contribution to the development of strategic areas in science and technology. In Russia, the most perceptible impact on changing the situation of new scientific knowledge production and, in particular, high-tech development comes from heads of “advanced” research laboratories. Capable of forming and carrying out their own research programmes, in the majority of instances they act as “gatekeepers” of the high-tech sector. In the first stage a quantitative questionnaire survey was carried out by means of a formalized interview (312 respondents). In the second stage qualitative information was collected using in-depth semi-structured individual interviews with the managers of leading laboratories in their field (31 interviews). The information on the gatekeeping strategies in the six science and technology priority areas was obtained. Research on the expert community associated with high-tech projects logically fits into the “cluster” of foresight studies, supplementing it with “human capital”

    Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the influence of factors on the dynamics of the real exchange rate. Firstly, we studied the basic theoretical and empirical models of the real exchange rate-tion, identified the key factors of its short and long-Din omy, including differential productivity, terms of trade, net foreign assets, government investment, import tariffs, etc. Second, analysis of the main trends of macroeconomic indicators that impact on the formation of the real exchange rate of the ruble in the pre- and post-crisis periods. The reasons for the differences in the degree of appreciation of the real exchange rate of a number of commodity-exporting countries in the 2000s. Thirdly, on the basis of a-vector autoregression model evaluated the long-term-elastic stey real effective exchange rate on such fundamental factors as the productivity differential, the real price of oil, the net outflow of private capital, the share of government spending in GDP for the period 1 sq. 1999 - 1Q. 2014 conducted by analysis of variance showed that more than 60% of the variance of the real effective exchange rate is due to innovations in the real price of oil, and the differential productivity. Fourthly, as a result of the structure of the pulse-response functions were significant effects of shocks on the dynamics of the fundamental factors of the real exchange rate.

    Abstract: Today, almost all developed countries are trying to find an answer to the new challenges faced by social systems. Most of these social systems developed during periods of fundamentally different demographic, economic, social and political realities than those that characterize modernity. In those times the human lifespan was relatively small and, therefore, in a population dominated by relatively young age cohort in the population present a significant (sometimes dominant) share of the rural population, which is almost a demand for the services of the social sector. Today, against the backdrop of the trend towards intensive aging population and a corresponding increase in the proportion of elderly people in the population, as well as the pronounced trend urban situation has changed dramatically. The question of how to cope with the ever-growing social stress now and in the future is on the agenda throughout the developed world. Especially the discussion - scientific, social, political and so on - exacerbated in the transition economies of the developed world in the post-industrial stage.

    Abstract: The complexity and multivariate analysis problems of financial and economic state medical institutions, forecasting and planning activities aimed at the development of its innovative, require the creation of specialized decision support tools (SPR). The paper studied and parameterization defining financial, economic and regulatory factors in their relationship with key performance indicators work diversified medical institutions at a group of federal agencies as part of the General Medical Department (LGU) Office of the President of the Russian Federation. A mathematical model of financial sustainability of health facilities, adequate conditions of health reform and methods of analysis, forecasting and planning of innovative development of diversified medical institution in the conditions of reforming using the tools of interactive simulation on the principle of "what if". Described created based on the model and software information tool - Decision Support System (DSS). The tool allows the decision maker (LPR) in interactive mode to perform the optimization of financial and operational resources, taking into account all influencing factors, simulate and evaluate the impact of macroeconomic conditions on the financial and economic stability of the institutions to carry out simulation and planning the balance of income and expenditure by type of institution provided medical services.

    Abstract: This paper analyses the legal substance of the customs procedure of the free customs zone in the Eurasian Economic Union by investigating its main features and peculiarities. In particular, we show that the customs procedure of the free customs zone is an economic instrument of state regulation of foreign trade activity in the Eurasian Economic Union. Also, we highlight the need for the harmonization of the provisions of the current legislation on the respective customs procedure between the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union. We also show that the legal regulation of this customs procedure is now generally compliant with WTO law.
