HSE Economists Use Search Queries to Forecast Birth Rates

Researchers from the HSE Faculty of Economic Sciences have shown that the accuracy of birth rate forecasts for Russia can be improved by almost 50% by incorporating the dynamics of online search queries related to pregnancy and childbirth into forecasting models. In the best-performing models, the forecasting error fell from 4.6% to 3.2%. The findings have been published in Populations and Economics.

HSE Researchers Discover Who Eats Out in Russia-And Why

Around one-third of Russians (31.3%) rarely eat out or buy ready-made meals. The core group of active consumers—those who eat out or purchase prepared food almost every day or several times a week—accounts for only about 9% of the population. These are the findings of a study conducted by the HSE Institute for Social Policy. According to the researchers eating out is no longer a marker of high social status in Russia.

Some Characteristics of Credal Sets and Their Application to Analysis of Polls Results

P. 572–578.

Bronevich A., Spiridenkova N.

In the theory of imprecise probabilities there are well established functionals for measuring uncertainty. Meanwhile, when we try to apply them to real problems they have a lack of meaningful interpretation. In this investigation we propose some characteristics of credal sets that seem to be useful for analyzing polls results.

A metric approach for scheduling problems with minimizing the maximum penalty

Lazarev A. A., Lemtyuzhnikova D., Werner F., Applied Mathematical Modelling 2021 Vol. 89 No. 2 P. 1163–1176

NP -hard scheduling problems with the criterion of minimizing the maximum penalty, e.g. maximum lateness, are considered. For such problems, a metric which delivers an upper bound on the absolute error of the objective function value is introduced. Taking the given instance of some problem and using the introduced metric, the nearest instance is deter- ...
