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 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.
