Размер файла177-189 Размер файла  607.99 KB Размер файла Full text

Abstract

The article presents the results of the analysis of the main macroeconomic indicators characterizing the state of tourism in Russia in 2018-2022 and its contribution to the national economy. It is shown that currently there is a positive trend in the development of the tourism industry. At the same time, the recession, which was primarily the result of the COVID-19 pandemic, has not yet been completely overcome. There is also a significant differentiation in the scale of the tourist market in the context of the federal districts of the Russian Federation. The need for solutions aimed at further unlocking the potential of the tourism industry, primarily related to increasing investments in the fixed capital of the industry, the implementation of which will lead to strengthening the role in the development of the national economy, was noted.

Keywords: gross value added of the tourism industry, tourism, tourism industry, tourist services, export of tourist services.

THE IMPACT OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY ON THE ENVIRONMENT: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM BRICS COUNTRIES

Размер файла154-176 Размер файла  551.23 KB Размер файла Full text

Abstract

The research is devoted to the nexus between economic development and environmental pollution in the BRICS countries. Within the framework of the study, the hypothesis of the Kuznets environmental curve was not verified, but Russia and China have the greatest potential to reach the income level where economic growth is able to "take care" of the environment. Applying the advanced econometric method of Driscoll–Krayy panel data analysis, we found that GDP per capita growth, industrialization and urbanization are the factors most responsible for environmental degradation in the BRICS countries, while the inflow of foreign direct investment, developed financial sector, active integration into the global space, environmental policy and the use of alternative energy sources contribute to environmental improvement. As for the policy implications, the BRICS countries should direct their efforts to create the most favourable conditions for FDI, deepen the financial sector, intensify environmental policy and develop the alternative energy sector.

Keywords: BRICS, economic growth, environment, environmental Kuznets curve, Driscoll–Krayy.

RUSSIANS’ INFLATION EXPECTATIONS UNDER SANCTIONS: BIG DATA RESEARCH

Размер файла181-200 Размер файла  726.54 KB Размер файла Full text

Abstract

In 2022, Russian economy faced unprecedented sanctions pressure from the Western countries. Against this background, the government and the Central Bank need to constantly monitor the economic situation in the Russian Federation in order to take timely and effective measures. A high-frequency indicator of inflation expectations based on big data can help in solving this problem. The author identifies significant shortcomings of the existing approaches to the assessment of inflation expectations that make the possibility of their application under sanctions questionable. Based on the developed high-frequency indicators of inflation expectations, sanctions concern and the frequency of sanctions mentioning in the context of inflation expectations, she analyzes the impact of sanctions on the inflation expectations of the Russian population. The method of assessing inflation expectations based on big data has proved effective under sanctions and demonstrated the impact of sanctions on forming inflation expectations of the Russian population.

Keywords: sanctions, inflation expectations, high-frequency indicator, inflation.

LOGISTICS OF PARALLEL IMPORT UNDER ECONOMIC SANCTIONS

Размер файла172-185 Размер файла  330.96 KB Размер файла Full text

Abstract

The article is devoted to analyzing the logistics of parallel imports, which has become one of the most relevant and popular ways of Russia's foreign trade activity in the current geopolitical situation, after the introduction of economic sanctions by Western countries in the spring of 2022. In the article, the author considers 4 types of schemes that allow participants in foreign economic activity to reduce logistics costs, and also analyzes the trade turnover and relations of the Russian Federation with the countries through which parallel imports are carried out, such as Turkey, China and India, as well as possible prospects for cooperation with them in the future. The author analyzes the mechanism of parallel imports in the automotive sector, thanks to which little-known Chinese brands began to appear on the Russian market. An actual logistics route in the scheme of parallel imports between Russia and India is the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC), which will reduce not only costs, but also the delivery time of goods. In conclusion, the author offers recommendations that can help not only strengthen the country's economy, but also develop relations with friendly states.

Keywords: parallel import, economic sanctions, logistics of parallel import, regional economy, trade turnover.

Abstract

The purpose of the study is assessment of impact of political factors, such as electoral cycles and ideological range of parliament on systematic deviations of actual revenues of the Russian federal budget from its planned values. The study consists of two stages. On the first stage the quality of federal budget revenue forecast on the period from 2000 to 2022 is made (actual value of revenue is compared with planned one in the first version of the budget law). It is shown that official federal revenue forecasts are characterized with statistically significant under-prediction. The second stage is the empirical assessment of potential factors impact on pessimism in revenue forecasting. The following results of the conducted evaluation are proposed: federal electoral cycles are not statistically significant and ideological structure of the parliament is weakly significant factors of revenue forecasts quality. The result of the study gives the motivation for further investigation of key actors’ incentives during budget forecasting.

Keywords: budget process, fiscal forecasting, budget revenue, forecast accuracy, electoral cycles, partisan fragmentation, ideology.
