This paper studies the technical efficiency of Russian retail companies in 2019 to 2023 using stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) with the Battese and Coelli (1995) model. A translogarithmic production function is employed for estimations. The dependent variable is company revenue, and the production factors are the average number of employees, fixed assets, and assets less fixed assets, along with year-specific dummies. The mean distribution of the inefficiency component is modeled as a function of company age, total assets, and the regional Herfindahl–Hirschman index, calculated using a sample from the SPARK database.
The results of our analysis show that labor makes the largest contribution to revenue growth, with increasing returns to scale, albeit close to constant. Revenue increased annually throughout the period under study. Average technical efficiency in the industry exhibits an inverted-U-shaped relationship with firm age and size. Technical efficiency declined significantly during the pandemic but showed steady growth in subsequent years.

Три с половиной года остаётся до 2030-го – окончания срока реализации Целей устойчивого развития (ЦУР) – главной международной инициативы, устанавливающей долгосрочные ориентиры для будущего человечества. Уже очевидно, что она провалилась: преодоление бедности, решение экологических проблем и построение инклюзивного и справедливого общества остались красивой мечтой. Кто-то может воспринимать ЦУР как памятник человеческой наивности. Но надо понимать, что эта ...

This article examines the musealisation of industrial heritage and its role in regional and corporate branding. The relevance of this study stems from deindustrialisation processes, the growth of industrial tourism, and the need to preserve historical memory, which is particularly important in the context of Russian realities—the lack of a legal definition of the concept ...

На фоне развивающихся торгово-экономических отношений между Россией и Китаем российские десерт- ные бренды получают новые возможности для выхода на китайский рынок. Однако их присутствие ограничено преи- мущественно приграничными регионами, а продвижение сдерживается недостаточной адаптацией к социокультурным особенностям китайских потребителей. Статья посвящена разработке практических рекомендаций по формированию стратегии адаптации российских десертных брендов к специфике китайского рынка. ...

Green transitions are widely expected to attract cleaner capital and accelerate decarbonization; however, emerging-economy evidence increasingly challenges this assumption. This study examines the dynamic relationship between energy transition indicators and capital inflows in BRICS+ economies over the period 1996–2022, explicitly testing the “Green Haven” hypothesis under conditions of global uncertainty. Unlike much of the existing ...

This study conducted in Indonesia between 2000 and 2023, demonstrates a complex, non-linear interplay between the economic environment and the emergence of clean energy start-ups. Using Autoregressive Distributed Lag and Markov Switching models, the research shows that start-up formation coincides with periods of lower GDP growth, suggesting that innovation is often spurred by necessity. Two ...

We examine board of directors’ gender diversity and corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure of Russian firms, and test for their effects on the market valuation of these firms. The Russian context is unique because gender disparity of boards and top management remains high in Russia due to historical legacy, absence of specific diversity-promoting regulations and ...

This paper analyzes total factor productivity (TFP) in Russia over 2009–2015 using firm-level data. Stochastic frontier analysis is employed to simultaneously estimate TFP growth and the distance to the production-possibility frontier for each firm in the sample. The results suggest significant positive rates of technological progress; however, the gap between technological frontier firms and laggards widened over ...

It is formally proven that if inefficiency (u) is modelled through its variance, considered as a function of exogenous variables z, then the marginal effects of z on technical inefficiency (TI) and technical efficiency (TE) have opposite signs in the typical setup with a normally distributed random error and an exponentially or half-normally distributed u. ...

The paper focuses on trends in the convergence of labor and multifactor productivity in Russia. Using firm-level data for the period 2011–2016, we show that firms with low-productivity grow faster than those with high-productivity. This result is, however, mostly driven by new entrants. The catch-up momentum fades after the first few years of a firm’s ...

The paper examines technical efficiency of Russian firms during the period from 2013 to 2018 applying the stochastic production frontier method. The estimates obtained indicate that technical efficiency grows with firm size and declines with its age. While macroeconomic situation deteriorated in 2015–2016, technical efficiency in most industries changed insignificantly. However, the number of industries with a negative trend ...

This paper investigates the cost efficiency of Russian banks with regard to their heterogeneity in terms of ownership form, capitalization and asset structure. Using bank-level quarterly data over the period 2005–2013, we perform stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) and compute cost efficiency scores at bank and bank group level. We deduct from gross costs the negative ...

В начале 1990-х годов в Европе появился новый вид использования частных инвестиций для осуществления социально значимых проектов, который был назван государственно-частным партнерством. В России данный вид сов местного финансирования такого рода проектов государством и бизнесом стал использоваться относительно недавно. Главная задача данного исследования – изучение факторов эффективности проектов государственно-частного партнерства на территории России на основе ...

Initially proposed by Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes as a method for comparative efficiency assessment, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) eventually got an alternative use. Researchers suggested ways to use it to group (cluster) objects not by the level of their efficiency, but by other parameters, which, from the computational point of view, were secondary results of ...
