This study examines the relationship between bank de-branching and profitability in Russian regions depending on the region's internet infrastructure development and financial digital literacy. Using data from 84 Russian regions from 2010 to 2020 and panel data analysis techniques, we test whether the adequacy of internet infrastructure for online banking and financial digital literacy are positively related to bank de-branching and whether they add to bank de-branching efficiency in terms of bank profitability. We show that a higher degree of the region's internet infrastructure development and higher levels of financial digital literacy are positively related to bank de-branching. We observe that banks closing their branches in regions exhibiting higher levels of internet development and financial digital literacy gain more profit from de-branching. This study adds to the literature by being the first to examine whether financial digital literacy and the development of internet technologies enhance the positive effect of bank de-branching on bank profitability

Developments across it increasingly reshape political, economic and social relations far beyond its borders. Understanding these dynamics is therefore both intellectually urgent and analytically demanding, requiring an interdisciplinary approach capable of moving beyond established categories and fragmented national perspectives.

This paper examines the nonlinear relationship between inflation and economic growth across Russian regions, contributing to the literature on the inflation-growth nexus by using subnational evidence from a large and economically heterogeneous country. Using panel data for 83 regions over the period 2015–2023, we estimate fixed-effects models with a quadratic specification of inflation. The growth-maximizing ...

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 ...
