| Abstract: | The work is devoted to the analysis of the dynamics of investments in fixed capital and the problems of their resource provision in the regions of the Russian Federation. The relevance of the work is determined by the weak pace of the Russian economy’s exit from the investment pause that began in 2014, as well as the tightening of restrictions on the development of the investment process. Under these conditions, the possibilities for expedient support of the investment process in the Russian economy, on the one hand, are decreasing, and on the other hand, are becoming an increasingly important factor in the revival of investment activity. In this regard, an analysis of possible scenarios for activating the investment process in the Russian economy, which would take into account regional and resource aspects, can become productive. |

| Abstract: | Entrepreneurial activity and especially emergence of new companies, according to international literature, has a positive effect on GDP and other important macroeconomic parameters. Increasing budget efficiency spending and economy growth rates above the world average are have very high priorities in Russia and are closely connected to the questions of properly stimulating the emergence and development of new companies. The empirical model presented in this paper allows evaluating the influence of various factors on the emergence of new companies in Russia. |

| Abstract: | Article 6 of the SPS Agreement presents a series of interlinked obligations for importing and exporting countries of diseased agricultural products. The Russia – Pigs dispute raises the question of when an importing country is justified in imposing a ban on products from exporting countries unaffected by the disease, on the basis of the fact that the country is part of the same customs union as another country inflicted with the disease. This Article contends that four distinct classes of cross-border and cross-product externalities ought to play in an important role when assessing this question in the future. It discusses the possible roles to be played by bilateral, sequential, pass-through, and supply chain externalities in propagating the transmission of agricultural disease across borders through trade. |

| Abstract: | One of the main mechanisms by which the state regulates the size of wages, is the value of the minimum wage. From the beginning of 2018, first of all, regional coefficients were excluded from the minimum wage, and secondly, the federal minimum wage was raised to the level of the subsistence minimum of the able-bodied population. In the light of the reform of 2018, it is important to analyze the mechanisms of the influence of federal and regional minimum wages on the labor market and the level of poverty. |

| Abstract: | The aim of the study is to assess the availability of development resources for various socio-economic group. The main resources of development are the following: availability of permanent employment, salary rise, growth of professional status (vertical labour mobility), increase in the level and quality of education, improvement of social status, development of social capital. The information base of the study is the survey conducted basing on the representative sample for whole Russia and a series of in-depth interviews with representatives of the population groups with different levels of resource availability. The analysis of empirical data allowed to calculate the indices of various development resources and to describe socio-economic characteristics of the population groups that differ in the values of corresponding indices. |

| Abstract: | This paper identifies the main changes in the Russian public procurement legislation in terms of their potential impact on the effectiveness of public procurement, provides an overview of the specifics of contractual relations in the “state-to-state” procurement segment. The report also presents an empirical research of the consequences of the changes studied and the analysis of the results. It was found that despite the much wider and deeper coverage of all stages of public procurement, changes in legislation cannot lead to the solution of the existing problems. It was revealed that in a significant proportion of the procurement in the “state-to-state” sector, it is not a compensation for “market failures”. Such situation can result in a decrease in the efficiency of relevant economic sectors as well as in the deterioration of the main functions of the public sector. The empirical analysis of the budgetary consequences on the example of the construction industry also cannot confirm the effectiveness of the federal contract system. |

| Abstract: | Analysis of open-ended mutual investment bond funds held for the period 2011-2018. The choice of benchmarks is complicated by a small number of indices and short intervals of their calculation by suppliers of indices. To assess the effectiveness of portfolios, two approaches were used: one-factor model (analogue of CAPM) and a multi-factor model (analogue of Carhart and Fam-French models). The multifactor model, along with the market premium, includes factors representing the market risk of equity, the risk of duration and the risk of default. The stock market factor is an indicator of general economic conditions, and other risk factors are risks in the bond market. Most of the premiums for the studied risk factors are significantly different from zero. For all premiums, high volatility and variability of signs in separate periods means the manifestation of the main feature of factor strategies - the need to follow them for a long time. |

| Abstract: | Banking regulation routinely designates some assets as safe and thus does not require banks to hold any additional capital to protect against losses from these assets. A typical such safe asset is domestic government debt. There are numerous examples of banking regulation treating domestic government bonds as “safe,” even when there is clear risk of default on these bonds. We show, in a parsimonious model, that this failure to recognize the riskiness of government debt allows (and induces) domestic banks to “gamble” with depositors’ funds by purchasing risky government bonds (and assets closely correlated with them). A sovereign default in this environment then results in a banking crisis. Critically, we show that permitting banks to gamble this way lowers the cost of borrowing for the government. Thus, if the borrower and the regulator are the same entity (the government), that entity has an incentive to ignore the riskiness of the sovereign bonds. We present empirical evidence in support of the key mechanism we are highlighting, drawing on the experience of Russia in the run-up to its 1998 default and on the recent Eurozone debt crisis. |

| Abstract: | At first glance, the effects of market power on one side of the market are similar to the effects of asymmetric distribution of bargaining power. This is the source of their mistaken confusion. These effects include both distributional and coordination. However, some of the effects may be related to the distribution of winnings, for example, in favor of sellers, but not related to restricting competition (the so-called exclusionary practices). The prevailing approaches to law enforcement in Russia, based primarily on the concepts of market power, dominant position and abuse of dominance, give rise to the question of the need to find a new balance between the categories of restriction of competition and the effects of bargaining power. |
