Resource Race and Green Transition: Three Unexpected Conclusions from Foresight Centres Research on Climate and Poverty
Beneath the surface of green energy—which most people associate with solar panels, electric vehicles, and reduced CO2 emissions—lies a complex web of geopolitical interests, international inequality, and resource constraints. Researchers from the Laboratory for Science and Technology Studies (LST) at the HSE ISSEK Foresight Centre have published a series of articles in leading international journals on hidden and overt conflicts surrounding critically important metals and minerals, as well as related processes in the energy sector.

Immersion in Second Language Environment Influences Bilinguals Perception of Emotions
Researchers at the Cognitive Health and Intelligence Centre at the HSE Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience have discovered how bilingual individuals process emotional words in their native (first) and non-native (second) languages. It was found that the link between word meaning and bodily sensations is weaker in a second language than in a first language. However, the more a person is immersed in a language environment, the smaller this difference becomes. The article has been published in Language, Cognition and Neuroscience.

Reforming Russian Railways: Introduction of Competition and New Regulatory Challenges

P. 707–736.
Dementiev Andrei

Railway reform in Russia aims at opening the room for competition. The paper assesses the impact effect of new tariff structure on internal on-track competition and investigates its’ state at the early stage of reform. It shows that lack of tariff flexibility makes the emerged industry structure unsustainable when vertically integrated state-owned infrastructure company serves the downstream market. This provides strong incentives for the infrastructure owner to establish ‘daughter’ (unregulated) train operating companies in order to prevent cream-skimming by competitive fringe. Thus the industry structure gravitates toward complete vertical separation with access to infrastructure charged likewise Ramsey formula and the final services being unregulated.
