Влияние мирового финансово-экономического кризиса на банковскую систему Аргентины
Argentina, the second largest country in Latin America, hardly recovered form the recession of the year 2001, faces the crisis again in 2008. First of all, the crisis affected the credit and banking sphere of the country, reducing the volumes of credit and deposit.

The paper presents a review of stochastic framework for term structure modeling and shows comparative advantages of commonly used techniques. The main application of the research is coherent modeling of credit and interest rate risk for Euro zone issuers.
This article presents an engineering approach to estimating market resiliency based on analysis of the dynamics of a liquidity index. The method provides formal criteria for defining a “liquidity shock” on the market and can be used to obtain resiliency-related statistics for further research and estimation of this liquidity aspect. The developed algorithm uses the results of a spline approximation for observational data and allows a theoretical interpretation of the results. The method was applied to real data resulting in estimation of market resiliency for the given period.

Ce livre a pour objectif de soumettre à l'expertise des historiens la question qui agite autant le monde savant que les politiques, les citoyens et les médias : comment un État ou un groupe d'États peut-il entrer dans une crise de la dette publique et comment peut-il s'en sortir ? Il semble bien en effet que les historiens disposent d'un vaste champ expérimental, susceptible d'autoriser les comparaisons dans le temps et dans l'espace. Au-delà des variations fortes du contexte dans lequel leurs observations s'insèrent, leurs constats peuvent ainsi entrer en résonance avec les théories ou les faits énoncés ou révélés par les économistes et les sociologues, ouvrant ainsi la voie à un véritable dialogue interdisciplinaire. Les exemples ne manquent pas, ils foisonnent, de moments critiques où les États se sont trouvés dans une situation de surendettement qu'ils ne parvenaient plus à surmonter. Ce livre entend rendre compte de ces épisodes sans doute improprement appelés « crises ». Il s'agit, en effet, d'interroger les auteurs sur un faisceau d'expériences historiques depuis le xviiie siècle jusqu'à nos jours, et de leur demander d'analyser à la fois les évolutions qui ont conduit à une montée de la dette publique et les remèdes qui ont pu être appliqués pour tenter de la juguler. De l'Amérique latine à la Russie, le spectre géographique de cette publication a une large portée internationale, l'ouvrage ne délivre certes pas de recettes mais apporte un nouvel éclairage sur des processus qui peuvent faire déraper la dette publique et sur les méthodes employées pour la réduire, l'endiguer, voire l'annuler.
This work contains the analysis of quotes dynamics for the biggest five Russian banks. The investigation is based on the trend of daily quotes. Pieces of news concerning these banks were researched in order to determine the reasons for the changes of trends. Main news groups were compared with the quote dynamics to investigate the power of their influence. It allowed to find fundamental factors influencing the quote dynamics changes and to estimate the power of the impact.
The development of relations between Europe and Latin America at the regional, subregional and interregional levels are analyzed. The review of trade-economic and social-political relations is given. The mechanism of overcoming the emerging disagreements in the economic, political and humanitarian spheres is described, and prospects for further development of cooperation between European and Latin American countries are outlined.
We address the external effects on public sector efficiency measures acquired using Data Envelopment Analysis. We use the health care system in Russian regions in 2011 to evaluate modern approaches to accounting for external effects. We propose a promising method of correcting DEA efficiency measures. Despite the multiple advantages DEA offers, the usage of this approach carries with it a number of methodological difficulties. Accounting for multiple factors of efficiency calls for more complex methods, among which the most promising are DMU clustering and calculating local production possibility frontiers. Using regression models for estimate correction requires further study due to possible systematic errors during estimation. A mixture of data correction and DMU clustering together with multi-stage DEA seems most promising at the moment. Analyzing several stages of transforming society’s resources into social welfare will allow for picking out the weak points in a state agency’s work.
