Abstract

This article aims to test the hypothesis of the law of the single price within one country on the example of the regions of Benin. The checking of the hypothesis was carried out empirically and is based on unit root tests for panel data on consumer prices at the national level of Benin. Special attention is paid to the review of the most relevant unit root tests used for the analysis of the Panel data. The study noted how a shock affecting prices in one region could also affect prices in other regions of the country, due to cross-dependence. The time series of consumer prices by regions of Benin were used. A technique has been proposed that takes into account the possibilities of studying the cross-dependence of the data and defines the conditions for selecting the unit root test to verify the implementation of the law of the single price. As a result of the analysis of the stationarity of panel data, it was found that the law of a single price is not observed for all essential goods in the regions of Benin and an assessment of the differentiation of the country’s regions by the level of consumer prices was obtained.

Abstract

Comparative studies of economic systems have been gaining popularity in recent years. The existing methodology for comparing quantitative indicators of the functioning of the economies of different countries has a number of limitations. The presented article discusses methods for comparing the purchasing power of monetary units of the economies of different countries, and also analyzes the possibility of using them to carry out a comparative analysis of economic indicators and indicators of the development of industries in the USSR and modern Russia in order to develop proposals for improving the state economic and industrial policy. The analysis of methods of comparing the purchasing power of monetary units made it possible to substantiate the choice of approaches for comparing production, technological and financial and economic indicators of the development of industries in the USSR and the Russian Federation. Based on the selected approaches of comparing monetary units, the conversion coefficients for various historical periods were calculated: the USSR (from 1940 to 1990) and the Russian Federation (from 2000 to 2020).

Abstract

The article analyzes the modern energy policy of the Republic of Turkey in the Eastern Mediterranean, conducted in line with the center-right ideology of regional dominance. The authors state that the main reason for the emergence of interstate contradictions in the region is the formation of national states in the first half of the last century, whose administrative borders were drawn up and recognized without taking into account ethnic characteristics and centuries-old economic traditions. Another important reason is the desire of official Ankara and the Turkish big business that has taken shape over the past two decades to strengthen its influence in neighboring countries and territories. Modern Turkey, deprived of its own islands in the waters of the eastern Mediterranean and Aegean Seas, insists on revising a number of provisions of international maritime law, which increases the level of tension in the region as a whole, and in Turkish-European relations in particular. The article also emphasizes that the unresolved important interstate problems in the Eastern Mediterranean and Turkey’s active policy in this region opens up new opportunities for the Russian oil and gas business, which require their own balanced expert assessment.

Abstract

In order to develop a methodological apparatus for assessing various stages of the life cycle of hybrid/electric propulsion units, the existing approaches to estimating the costs of developing, manufacturing and operating aircraft engines of the traditional propulsion units scheme for determining the cost framework and their further harmonization with the technical and economic boundary conditions of new elements in the hybrid/electric SU scheme are considered. The relevance of solving the problems of assessing the technical and economic efficiency and forecasting the cost of hybrid propulsion units is determined. To solve the tasks, a methodological approach to determining boundary conditions and criteria is proposed. Within the framework of this methodological approach, a preliminary assessment of the cost of the main stages of the life cycle of aircraft engines for various variants of traditional propulsion units was made. Based on the estimates obtained, criteria for the economic efficiency of using a hybrid propulsion unit of various capacities for civil aircraft were formed. A computational and parametric analysis of the cost estimation of variants of aircraft engines included in the propulsion unit of the traditional scheme is presented. The role of accounting and management accounting data in economic and mathematical models is determined, which makes it possible to qualitatively reflect the economic efficiency of the life cycle of aviation products.

Abstract

Environmental taxation is an instrument of the state’s tax policy, remaining today one of the vectors of socio-economic development. However, the structural understanding of this mechanism in tax theory has not yet been formed. In this connection, the purpose of this work is to identify, on the basis of the current tax legislation of the Russian Federation, tax tools involved in the regulation of environmental processes. To solve one of the main tasks, namely, to form the theoretical foundations of the algorithm for monitoring and evaluating empirical data within the framework of the state’s tax policy, it is necessary to analyze scientific publications and synthesize knowledge of Russian and foreign practices in the field of environmental taxation. The next task is to formulate conclusions on the further greening of the tax legislation of the Russian Federation. As a result of the conducted research, the author’s approach to the typologization of taxes and fees within the framework of Russian tax legislation is proposed from the position of using the ecological element of fiscal instruments. In the article the ecological element is understood as the socio-economic essence of a particular tax or fee, as well as the presence of an element or a tax mechanism of interaction of an ecological orientation in the payment structure. As a result, it was the elementary analysis of payments that made it possible to identify the range of hypothetically acceptable tax regulators.

Abstract

The article continues the analysis of the work of the model developed by the authors of forecasting money laundering rate. The purpose of the study is to compare the results of the forecast with the actual data. Authors used official data by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation on economic crime rate for the period January 2011 – July 2022. In the last published work, a forecast was formed based on the seasonal integrated autoregression – moving average (SARIMA) model for 11 months of 2022 from February to December. This forecast for the past 6 months has been verified by comparison with the actual values by calculating the relative error and the RMSE (root mean square error). In comparison, the authors noted a rare distribution of registered cases for the last decade: an excess of the number of crimes in May over June. The result of the study may be used as an auxiliary tool in the analytical complexes of subjects of financial monitoring and supervisory authorities. The results reflected the high accuracy of the forecasts obtained for the sum of the periods, and the conclusion was also made about the importance of observing the seasonal structure of the dynamics of crimes for operational changes in the parameters of the model.

Abstract

In the article, the author analyzes the Russian stock market, estimates the fair value of shares of domestic issuers and examines the impact on financial assets of the measures taken by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation within the framework of monetary policy. The fair value of securities is calculated on the basis of a constant dividend growth rate model, where the required return on equity is determined using the CAPM model. The results of the author’s comparative analysis of the fair value and market price of shares of Russian corporations show that securities on the Russian stock market are significantly undervalued. To eliminate the imbalances that have arisen in the financial market, the author suggests that the Central Bank of the Russian Federation implement a softer monetary policy, thus affecting the development of the domestic stock market and increasing the attractiveness of investments in securities of Russian corporations.

Abstract

The active digitalization of financial markets generates new types of digital financial assets, and also raises questions about prospects of the national monetary systems development, taking into account the emerging digital financial instruments. The authors present the results of a study conducted via interviewing respondents about their attitude to cryptocurrencies, about the likelihood of cashless economies, and about the impact of economy digitalization on changing people’s lives. Current scientific studies show that a significant part of authors is inclined to believe that current digitalization trends will lead to the complete disappearance of cash, including cryptocurrencies will play an important role in this process. Low financial literacy, possible failures in electronic payment systems, the difficulty of adaptation for certain groups of the population are the reasons that delay the transition to cashless economies. However, a significant number of advantages that digital assets provide for the development of the economy, and the positive attitude of society to the changes taking place in the process of digital transformation, contribute to a further change in the monetary system.

Abstract

Universal globalization dictates the need for new forms and methods of social work. The system of long-term care for elderly citizens and the disabled also requires updating. Basically, long-term care is based on regional regulation. The regions independently determine the list of “care” services, their volume, frequency and criteria of need. This gives rise to some kind of discrimination of some elderly citizens against others in terms of the volume and list of social services. In addition, the regional or decentralized principle of building a long-term care system «binds» elderly citizen in need of it to their place of residence, restricts their constitutional right to movement and freedom to choose their place of residence. The study analyzes the current state of regulation of the long-term care system and formulates proposals for the transition to the extraterritorial principle.

Abstract

The article presents the results of an empirical study comparing the socio-psychological adaptation of migrant children and local children studying in secondary school No. 20 of Penza. A theoretical analysis was carried out and the problem of adaptation of migrant children at school was justified. Through theoretical analysis, it has been established that the difficulties in the socio-psychological adaptation of migrant children are quite often due to the inability to interact with the local population, problems in communication, which in turn stimulate the growth of anxiety, hostility, distrust of the new living conditions and the environment, etc. As a result of an empirical study, differences in the indicators of socio-psychological adaptation of migrant children and local children were revealed. In particular, migrant children have a high level of aggressiveness, hostility, the following forms of aggression are more expressed: physical, verbal and indirect. They are characterized by the use of physical strength, foul language, the spread of gossip, rumors, negativism, irritation, suspicion and insult. Local children have lower indicators of personal and reactive anxiety, selfesteem, they are more often than migrant children in school classes have high social status (active) and very rarely low (ignored). At the same time, almost half of the migrant children occupy ignored and isolated positions in the group. Among all the children (local and migrants), the impuntive orientation of reactions in the frustration situation is dominant, but migrant children still have an extrapunitive orientation and less expressed intropunitive orientation.

Abstract

This article presents the results of a study of the relationship between the time perspective and themes of significant life events in adolescence. The study involved 1,394 boys and girls aged 14 to 23 years. It was revealed that there is an age-related multidirectional dynamics in the representation of the following periods: “studying at school”, “vocational training”, “professional autonomy”, “future”, “open present”. For example, modern youth associate “learning at school” positively with entertainment and negatively with study and work in the past and with communication and contacts in the future. The period of “professional training” is associated with all significant events in their lives except for events related to entertainment in the future. The period of “professional autonomy” is associated with events aimed at business (including both professional activity and study) both in the past and in the future. All important events in the present depend on the desire to possess some qualities, properties, skills. And at the same time, the significance of communication and entertainment in the past and the importance of entertainment and specific activities (educational and professional) in the future are associated with this desire. The results of the study may be of interest for the organization of work with high school students and students on the formation of a time perspective of the future.
