What are the main features of Russian multinational enterprises (MNEs) and how do they integrate in global value chains (GVCs) compared to their global counterparts? The main objective of this work is to unveil the key characteristics of Russian MNEs using firm-level data and placing the findings in the context of the theoretical debate about the role of productivity in outward foreign direct investment (FDI). Contrary to the prevailing belief that Russian MNEs are highly resource intensive with low productivity, our analysis of firm level data from 10,896 domestic firms and MNEs for the period 2010–2019 shows that total factor productivity (TFP) is a significant determinant in the internationalization of these firms. Both the propensity to become multinational and the likelihood of expanding in the global markets are strongly correlated with TFP. We believe that these findings offer a more nuanced perspective about Russian MNEs, contributing valuable insights for both academic and policy considerations.

This paper asks which families of volatility forecasting models create economic value in active trading, and through which integration channel that value is transmitted. Seven models drawn from four families — econometric (GJR-GARCH, HAR-J), gradient boosting (XGBoost, LightGBM), recurrent neural networks (LSTM, GRU) and a hybrid combining HAR-J with boosting — are compared on the ...

This paper examines total factor productivity (TFP) dynamics among Russian enterprises from 2018 to 2024, using translogarithmic production function estimates for 290 industries. To address endogeneity and functional dependence issues, we employ the Ackerberg—Caves—Frazer methodology with a control function approach. Our findings reveal distinct sectoral patterns. In mining, both simple average and value-added-weighted TFP rose ...

Стремительное развитие генеративного искусственного интеллекта (генИИ) усилило дискуссии о том, как новые технологии трансформируют рынок труда, особенно позиции и задачи, которые еще недавно мог выполнять только человек. Эксперименты показывают, что генеративный ИИ может обеспечить значительный прирост производительности, особенно менее квалифицированных сотрудников, что может приводить к возникновению индивидуальной зарплатной отдачи на рынке труда. Впервые для России ...

Trade sanctions generate asymmetric shocks in developing economies, reshaping their integration into global value chains (GVCs). Using a gravity framework covering 68 developing countries over the period 2000–2021, this paper examines how sanctions affect forward and backward GVC linkages. We find that sanctions significantly reduce both dimensions of GVC participation: backward linkages suffer deeper and ...
