Размер файла 116-136 Размер файла  331.2 KB Размер файла Full text

Abstract

Сryptocurrency mining in Russia is not regulated by current legislation today, but the authorities recognize the existence of a business in this area that needs to be legalized. According to the scientific analysis, a low level of development of cryptocurrency mining organization, regulation and taxation issues was revealed. The international experience in this area has been summarized, such activities are generally prohibited, but there are countries where both regulation and taxation are carried out. The author has developed a model for the organization, regulation and taxation of cryptocurrency mining in the Russian Federation using the example of the first cryptocurrency – bitcoin, which involves embedding it into the current legal system without making significant changes in order to reduce time and administrative costs.

Keywords: mining regulation, mining taxation, taxation, cryptocurrency, bitcoin, mining, crypto assets.

ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF THE SANCTIONS NEWS ON RUSSIAN FINANCIAL MARKETS

Размер файла 71-115 Размер файла  2.38 MB Размер файла Full text

Abstract

The study presents a hypothesis that real-time news about the planned introduction of sanctions, adversely affects financial markets comparable to de facto imposed sanctions. The research focuses on quantitative evaluation of the relationship between news about sanction plans, their actual implementation, and the subsequent reaction of the currency, stock, and credit markets in Russia. The hypothesis that sanctions news has a negative impact, regardless of sentiment analysis, is confirmed. These news items act as a driving force for market changes, irrespective of the imposition of sanctions. Based on the calculations, the author reaches the following conclusions: 1) Western sanctions are no longer targeted and selective but aimed at maximum restriction of economic ties. 2) The non imposed sanctions of the study demonstrate that news about sanction plans alone has a negative impact and acts as a market-driving force independent of their implementation. The study utilises the Sanctions News Index (SNI), developed to assess the impact of news about sanctions on the Russian financial markets. The Granger method confirms the causal relationship between sanctions news and financial markets as measured by the SNI index. The significance of the sanctions factor, as measured by the SNI index, and its influence on the exchange rate of the Russian ruble is confirmed by constructing a regression model with this indicator as one of the independent variables. A proposed methodology has successfully identified the most impactful sanctions and evaluated their effects on financial markets. This was accomplished by performing quantitative content analysis on the SNI index. This work can be valuable for assessing the impact of sanctions on investment decision-making, and risk management, and understanding the overall mechanism, i.e., how news about potential or actual sanctions affect the economies of entire countries or regions.

Keywords: Russia, trade sanctions, news about trade sanctions, Russian ruble, the impact of trade sanctions, assessment of the impact of trade sanctions on the foreign exchange market, assessment of the impact of trade sanctions on the stock market, assessment of the impact of trade sanctions on the credit market.

IMPACT OF INFLATIONARY EXPECTATIONS ON LONG-RUN CONSEQUENCES OF INFLATION

Размер файла113-123 Размер файла  371.49 KB Размер файла Full text

Abstract

In this paper we propose a dynamic general equilibrium model on the basis of Sidrausky's model, which takes into account the process of formation of inflationary expectations by consumers and firms. As a result of the model analysis we obtain that higher expected inflation rate leads to the lower output per employee. The article also provides a comparative characteristics of the impact of the monetary policy on the long-term equilibrium, depending on the formation of inflationary expectations of economic agents and the policy of setting the Central Bank's key rate.

Keywords: inflation, inflationary expectations, economic growth, dynamic general equilibrium model, menu costs.
