HSE Researchers Show How Congenital Motor Disorders Affect Brain Development
Researchers from HSE University’s Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience have synthesised the findings of their previous studies on brain development in children with obstetric brachial plexus palsy and arthrogryposis. Their analysis shows that impaired motor function in early childhood not only limits children’s motor experience but also affects memory, categorical thinking, and information processing. The study has been published in Frontiers in Psychology.

Window into the Body: Scientists Develop Neural Network to Detect Risk of 15 Diseases from Retinal Images
Russian universities, with the participation of HSE University, Sber, and Z-union, have developed a neural network that can simultaneously assess the risk of 15 types of pathology from retinal photographs, including not only eye diseases but also cardiovascular conditions. The AI system can help clinicians detect potentially concerning changes at an early stage, identify signs reflecting the condition of retinal blood vessels, and determine whether a patient may need further examination. The paper has been published in Frontiers in Medicine.

'We Did Not Limit the Time for Questions'
The International Laboratory for Supercomputer Atomistic Modelling and Multi-Scale Analysis at HSE University held a major conference on molecular dynamics. Participants had the opportunity to attend all the presentations, while speakers were given as much time as they needed to answer questions. The HSE News Service interviewed Grigory Smirnov, Head of the Laboratory, and Genri Norman, Chief Research Fellow, about the conference preparations and the discussions it generated.

Increasing returns, monopolistic competition, and international trade: Revisiting gains from trade

Journal of International Economics. 2022. Vol. 137. Article 103595.
Sergey Kokovin, Pavel Molchanov, Bykadorov I.

We study the canonical Krugman (1979) trade model with non-CES preferences that yield autarky at finite trade costs. We prove a non-monotone impact of gradual trade liberalization. At first, near autarky, emerging trade reduces world welfare, while at free trade it becomes large enough to be beneficial (Krugman's result). This non-monotonicity persists under heterogenous firms. The harmful small-scale trade is explained by variable markups and underpriced
imports, which become socially excessive. Unlike protectionists, we argue that “liberalization should go far”. On the other hand, we show that anti-dumping measures can be viewed as a remedy for the aforementioned imports distortion. ©

Bounds on the derivatives of the log-cumulative distribution function of the multivariate normal distribution
Potanin B., Dolgikh S., Statistics and Probability Letters 2026 Article 110984
We derive bounds on the gradient and Hessian of the log-CDF, ln F(x), of the multivariate normal distribution. These bounds scale linearly and quadratically in ‖x‖ , respectively, with constants depending only on the covariance matrix. We demonstrate the usefulness of these bounds by proving asymptotic normality of the maximum-likelihood estimator of the multivariate probit ...

Subsidy Effects on Productivity and Technical Efficiency of Corporate Dairy Farms in the Russian Federation
Nikulina Y., Jamali Jaghdani T., Götz L. et al., / Series "Working Papers". 2026.
The impact of state subsidies on Russia's post-Soviet dairy output remains controversial; this study provides an empirical analysis of that relationship. Using an unbalanced panel dataset of 123 dairy enterprises in the Leningrad Region spanning the period from 2010 to 2023, we employ stochastic frontier analysis to assess these relationships. The results indicate that subsidies ...

Отдача от платформенной занятости на российском рынке труда: «премия» или «штраф»?
Kapeliushnikov R., / Высшая школа экономики. Серия WP3 "Проблемы рынка труда". 2026. № WP3/2026/02.
The paper is the first attempt in the Russian literature to assess returns to platform employment in the Russian labor market. The theory offers no clear predictions regarding its impact on workers’ earnings: there might be both a premium and a penalty. We distinguish three groups of workers: employees; self-employed using internet-platforms; self-employed not using ...

Equilibrium existence in Krugman’s and Bertoletti–Etro’s trade models: the general case
Slepov F., Kokovin S. G., Economic Theory 2025
We revisit Krugman’s (J Int Econ 9(4):469–479, 1979.) classical trade model in its general form with several asymmetric countries and unspecified additive utility functions. We present the weakest known conditions on utilities sufficient for the existence of equilibrium. These conditions are also necessary under symmetric preferences. Using the same method for Bertoletti and Etro’s (Econ ...

Equilibrium existence and uniqueness in additive trade models
Slepov Fedor, Kokovin S. G., / Series WP BRP "Basic research program". 2023. No. 262/EC/2023.
This paper develops a modeling technique of “attainable profit” functions, applying it to two models of monopolistic competition. First, it revisits the Krugman's classical trade model in the most general form: several asymmetric countries and non-specified additive utility functions. We establish the weakest conditions on utilities, sufficient for the existence of equilibria. These conditions are ...

Движение к автаркии в российской науке сквозь призму международной кооперации.
Dezhina I., Егерев С. В., ЭКО 2022 Т. 52 № 1 С. 35–53
События последних лет указывают на развивающиеся в мире автаркические тенденции в научно-технологической сфере. В статье на основе нескольких кейсов рассматривается, как эти процессы протекают в российской науке. Изучаются параметры циркуляции исследователей, международное научное сотрудничество и его регулирование, инициированные государством изменения в грантовом финансировании исследований и подходы к строительству установок класса «мегасайенс». Циркуляция кадров в науке пока слабо выражена, причем приток происходит в основном из СНГ, а отток – в страны с развитой наукой. ...

Continuous spatial monopolistic competition: matching goods with consumers
Goryunov M., Sergey Kokovin, Tabuchi T., Economic Theory 2021 Vol. 74 No. 3 P. 793–832
Our novel approach enriches the general additive monopolistic competition model with a space of product characteristics: consumers’ “ideal varieties”. This paper bridges two traditions in modelling markets with horizontal product differentiation: the Hotelling’s (Econ J 39(153):41–57, 1929) “address economy” and Chamberlinian Dixit–Stiglitz monopolistic competition. Unlike Hotelling, our partially localised competition involves intersecting zones of service among producers. ...
