This study explores the potential of the innovation modes, a firm-level taxonomy of innovation behavior, to provide a reasonable treatment for the growing complexity and multidimensionality of company strategies, incentives, and demands. The data on the Russian manufacturing enterprises from two complementary surveys are used to estimate broader features of the firms pursuing particular innovation modes, including the intensity, efficiency, and impact of innovation activities, the importance of factors, hampering the performance and the heterogeneity of demand for the policy support measures. Resulting composition of the firm-level patterns and characteristics brings new facilities for the diagnosis-based policy-making in the field of innovation.

Structural changes in the national innovation system: longitudinal study of innovation modes in the Russian industry

Gokhberg L., Roud V. Economic Change and Restructuring. 2016. Vol. 49. No. 2. P. 269-288.

This article explores the potential of firm-level taxonomies of innovation behavior for analysis of structural changes within national innovation systems. Dynamic allocation of the heterogeneous types of actors is considered as a bridge between the discussion on institutional change and studies of the persistence of innovation at the firm level. Seven innovation taxonomies are constructed on the firm-level data on Russian industry, 2002–2012. Derived meso-level trends prove the robustness of the firm-level innovation modes over time and their capability of capturing the bounded change. For the case of the Russian Federation, the analysis emphasizes the absence of systemic change in the innovation-related incentives and reward mechanisms, but also the learning processes at the firm level, particularly, growing sophistication of the networking.

Институт минимальной заработной платы в странах ОЭСР

Вишневская Н. Т. Проблемы рынка труда. WP3. Высшая школа экономики, 2005. № 03.

The paper examines the institute of minimum wage in developed and transition economies and in a number of the developing countries. First of all the institutional mechanism of minimum wage fixing is considered. One of the sections explores the dynamics of absolute and relative levels of minimum wage. The special attention is paid to the impact of the institute of minimum wage on the labour market. The author considers the mechanism of transmission of the minimum wage increases on the employment and unemployment dynamics. The paper also contains the result of the empirical research. The experience of many countries witnesses that large increases in minimum wage levels lead to the stagnation of the employ-ment, especially of the disadvantaged groups. The negative effect is larger for the companies with higher share of labour costs and more active use of unqualified labour, that is small businesses and agricultural enterprises. One of the main conclusions is that the minimum wage is not an effective tool of the poverty reduction as the majority of the recipients live in households of average and upper average income.

Exploring innovation modes of Russian companies: what does the diversity of actors mean for policymaking?

Gokhberg L., Kuznetsova T., Roud V. Science, Technology and Innovation. WP BRP. Высшая школа экономики, 2012. No. 01.

Recent studies of innovation behavior characteristics focus on analysis of microdata (enterprise level) as the key instrument to reveal facts and hypotheses describing the innovation activities under diverse economic, political and infrastructural conditions. This paper applies the state-of-the-art innovation modes approach [OECD, 2008] to provide insights on the Russian innovation environment, highlighting the variation of innovation strategies across sectors of Russian industry. Cross-country comparison based on the OECD data and Russian firm-level findings is presented along with the discussion of possible development of systemic instruments and evidence-based methods for policymaking.

Государственная политика в области ограничения курения: какие меры наиболее эффективны

Засимова Л. С. Вопросы государственного и муниципального управления. 2010. № 4. С. 68-81.

Smoking is a problem, bringing signifi cant social and economic costs to Russiansociety. However, ratifi cation of the World health organization Framework conventionon tobacco control makes it possible to improve Russian legislation accordingto the international standards. So, I describe some measures that should be taken bythe Russian authorities in the nearest future, and I examine their effi ciency. By studyingthe international evidence I analyze the impact of the smoke-free areas, advertisementand sponsorship bans, tax increases, etc. on the prevalence of smoking, cigaretteconsumption and some other indicators. I also investigate the obstacles confrontingthe Russian authorities when they introduce new policy measures and the public attitudetowards these measures. I conclude that there is a number of easy-to-implementanti-smoking activities that need no fi nancial resources but only a political will.

One of the most important indicators of company's success is the increase of its value. The article investigates traditional methods of company's value assessment and the evidence that the application of these methods is incorrect in the new stage of economy. So it is necessary to create a new method of valuation based on the new main sources of company's success that is its intellectual capital.
