The article is devoted to the key problems related to the financing of innovation projects by commercial banks in Russia: the high risk of credit uncollectibility, the deficit of long-term bank resources, the specific profile of the potential company-borrower and others. To solve these problems the experience of foreign countries seems to be valuable in case of its adaptation to the Russian context.

Mobile banking has followed the appearance of high tech mobile devices. However, rates of payments made through mobile banking apps are still much lower than through other channels. This paper observes the main incentives to use mobile banking in Russia by users of smartphones and tablets. The empirical model modifies authors’ previous one [Belousova & Chichkanov, 2015] to find the relationship between the intention to use mobile banking and new factors, such as the perceived financial costs and social influence and the indirect influences of self-efficacy and compatibility with lifestyle. Following the baseline study, Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) is used to check the existence of such relations. The paper finds that the most powerful chain of incentives is “self-efficacy”-“perceived efforts”-“perceived usefulness”-“intention to use”. The influence of perceived financial costs are also meaningful. However, the perceived risks, compatibility with lifestyle and social influence do not have any significant relationship with the intention to use mobile banking. The lack of generalizability may be driven by the chosen focus groups. In addition, the distinction between the dependent variable “intention to use” and real usage might also be considered as a limitation of the study. However, these results can be used by financial institutions that develop a strategy for improving mobile banking services.

Product innovation is vital for developing competitiveness of firms from emerging economies. Being recognized as one of emerging economies, Russia however is rather loosing positions in competing on in-novative offerings in comparison to other BRIC economies. Moreover, the research on drivers of success or failure of product innovations in Russian economy is underrepresented in academic literature. Current paper aims at adding to existing theory on the role of market orientation vs. orientation to the new market segments in driving firm performance with the focus on product innovation capabilities. As suggested by Sawhney et al (2006), we study the role of key innovative offering dimensions – platform and solu-tion innovation – in influencing firm performance outcomes. Our study aims to close the gap by studying the mediating effect of product innova-tion dimensions on market orientation – performance link on example of Russian economy. The study is based on a quantitative survey of 207 Rus-sian innovative firms with multiple respondents approach, resulting in 331 qualified respondents. Our results demonstrate the difference in effect of orientation towards existing market vs. new customer segments in shaping platform and solution innovation and influencing firm performance.

This study revealed and examined cultural differences in values, implicit theories of innovativeness and attitudes to innovation across three ethnocultural groups: Russians, representatives of the peoples of North Caucasus (Ingush and Chechens), and Tuvins (N = 804). Individual theories of innovativeness appeared to be more pronounced in Russians; whereas social theories of innovativeness are more discernible in the respondents from North Caucasus and Tuva. Using structural equation modeling was identified a culturally universal model of values’ effects – direct and mediated by implicit theories of innovativeness – on attitudes to innovation. The study demonstrates how the direct negative impact of Conservation values on positive attitudes to innovation is transformed into positive impact, promoting the acceptance of innovations, through the mediating role of implicit theories of innovativeness. The current research study sheds light on the important mediating role of implicit theories of innovativeness in the impact of individual values on attitudes to innovation in different cultures.

This empirical paper adds to competition and industrial organization literature by exploring the interplay between industry structure and competitiveness on local, rather than nation-wide, markets. We use micro-level statistical data for banks in two Russian regions (Bashkortostan and Tatarstan) to estimate Herfindahl-Hirschman index, Lerner index, and Panzar-Rosse model. We estimate Panzar-Rosse model in two ways: via the widely used price-equation that accounts for scale effects and then via a revenue-equation that disregards scale effects as suggested by Bikker et al. (2009). We find both regional markets to be ruled by monopolistic competition, although estimation by revenue-equation does not reject monopoly hypothesis for Tatarstan. Existence of sizeable locally-owned and operated institutions does not necessarily lead to higher competitiveness of the given regional market, and the results from non-structural methods of estimation suggest that bank competition in Bashkortostan is stronger than in Tatarstan. Going further away from aggregated analysis we compute Lerner indices in two product segments of Tatarstan – retail and corporate loans – and find that retail segment is significantly more competitive. Local banks exert more market power in corporate loans, while federal branches – in retail loans.

The Basel Committee of Banking Supervision initiated a discussion on the most efficient practices to prevent bank managers from excessive risk-taking. This paper proposes a game-theoretical approach, describing the decision-making process by a bank manager who chooses his own level of risk and effort. If the level of risk implies the variability of the future outcome, the amount of effort applied affects the probability of a positive outcome. Although effort is unobserved for the bank’s stakeholders, the risk level is under control, and is associated with certain indicators such as capital adequacy ratio or leverage level. The risk-neutral utility function of a bank manager and a binary game outcome of gaining profit or loss for a bank are assumed. Starting from the general incentive contract scheme having the fixed and variable parts of remuneration, it is proposed that differentiating the variable part of remuneration is sufficient to motivate bank managers to make fewer risky decisions. More precisely, the variable part of remuneration (e.g. the share of the bank’s profit) needs to be higher in proportion to the higher variance of outcome for the high -risk outcome case to stimulate a bank manager to opt for lower-risk decisions in place of higher-risk situations.

In this paper we elaborate a simple model that allows for the predicting of possible reactions from financial institutions to more stringent regulatory measures introduced by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) in regard to global systemically important banks (G-SIBs). The context is framed by a 2011 BCBS document that proposes higher capital requirements for global systemically important banks. We attempt to analyze bank interactions in an oligopolistic market that is subject to demand constraints on loan amounts and additional loss absorbency requirements introduced by the regulator. We distinguish between the bank’s announced funding cost that determines both the loan amount issued and the market interest rate, and the bank’s true funding cost that has a direct impact on retained earnings. We conclude that in a two-stage game both banks will announce the highest funding cost, thus reducing the amount of loans granted (in line with the regulator’s objective), but at the expense of a higher cost of borrowing established in the market. If the game is repeated, then both banks also choose lower loan amounts in the periods prior to the last one in which the declared funding cost is the lowest possible. It should be noted that the designated outcome also coincides with the findings of the Monetary Economic Department of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.
