Objective: the main objective of the paper is to systemize the approaches to reveal consumer preferences in the market if performing arts. We focus on the data used in empirical studies, main variables and their measures to determine the preferences and econometric methods of preferences identification.
Methodology: we use metaanalysis of recent papers on the estimation of demand for performing arts and identification of theatregoers’ preferences as main methodology for this research.
Results: the main result is the review of revealed and stated preferences methods, description of its applicability and critical analysis. We also systemized the main variables which determine the consumer behavior in the market of performing arts.
Area of application: this research is aimed to help theatres which are motivated to study the demand function on their services and the portrait of the theatregoer. This study may be applied for tuning the marketing management system and pricing strategy of a theatre.
Conclusions: study of the theatre consumer behavior may be done with the real sales data (method of revealed preferences) or with the consumer survey data (method of stated preferences). Demand and preferences of theatre consumers depend on characteristics of consumer, characteristics of hall and place in a hall, characteristics and date and time of play and performance. Individual preferences, their willingness to pay for attendance and price elasticity of demand is heterogeneous and should be taken into account when modelling the preferences and making management decisions.
The paper presents the structural model of decision-making process on the residential mortgage market. We empirically estimates key drivers of mortgage borrowing, underwriting, and default process by jointly using market-level monthly data and loan-level data from regional branch of Agency of Home Mortgage Lending (AHML). The multistep estimation procedure allows correcting for sample selection bias and endogeneity and provides consistent parameter estimates. Obtained results shows that risk preferences are changing during the time and AHML borrowers are relatively high risky.
In the present paper we have hypothesized an explanation for the fact that the evaluation
of the social impact of law is modeled predominantly by the economic efficiency concept.
Considering the early stages of the concept’s development, we try to make it more
intelligible to the European lawyers.
In this paper, we consider two types of preferences from preference logic and propose their interpretation in terms of formal concept analysis. We are concerned only with preferences between sets of attributes, or, viewed logically, between conjunctions of atomic formulas. We provide inference systems for the two types of preferences and study their relation to implications.

In this proceeding you will find a snapshot of topics that are presented in the conference. As expected, our conference has been an intellectual hub for academic discussion for our colleagues in the areas of economics, finance, and business. Participants found an excellent opportunity for presenting new research, exchanging information and discussing current issues. We believe that this conference proceeding and our future conferences will improve further the development of knowledge in our fields.
This paper deals with the problem of language of Theatre of Cruelty. Theatre of Cruelty is a theatrical project and metaphysical revolution proposed by Antonin Artaud in 1929-1936. It was not merely a suggestion of a new theater, but an attempt to bring back the global meaning to the world lost in the process of separation from culture. Artaud is trying to build a new language as a way of changing the world within the theater. This article discusses the semantics and syntax of Theatre of Cruelty, as an independent language, and presents the analysis of the semantics of the language through the analysis proposed by Gilles Deleuze.
This paper models household demand for childcare and mothers' labour force participation in Romania. The model estimates the effects of the price of childcare, mothers' wages, and household characteristics on household behaviour with respect to childcare and maternal employment. We find that both the maternal decision to become employed and the decision to use out-of-home care are sensitive to the price of childcare. A decrease in the price of care can increase the number of working mothers and thus can reduce poverty in some households. We also find that the potential market wage of the mother has a significant positive effect on the decision to purchase market care and on the decision to engage in paid employment. The level of household non-wage income has little effect on maternal employment and on the demand for childcare.
The paper examines the structure, governance, and balance sheets of state-controlled banks in Russia, which accounted for over 55 percent of the total assets in the country's banking system in early 2012. The author offers a credible estimate of the size of the country's state banking sector by including banks that are indirectly owned by public organizations. Contrary to some predictions based on the theoretical literature on economic transition, he explains the relatively high profitability and efficiency of Russian state-controlled banks by pointing to their competitive position in such functions as acquisition and disposal of assets on behalf of the government. Also suggested in the paper is a different way of looking at market concentration in Russia (by consolidating the market shares of core state-controlled banks), which produces a picture of a more concentrated market than officially reported. Lastly, one of the author's interesting conclusions is that China provides a better benchmark than the formerly centrally planned economies of Central and Eastern Europe by which to assess the viability of state ownership of banks in Russia and to evaluate the country's banking sector.
