Team Success: Aligning Means with Objectives
In corporations, sports, and academia, people often face challenges they cannot handle alone. In such cases, selecting the right team is crucial. Tatiana Mayskaya, Associate Professor at the HSE Faculty of Economic Sciences and the International College of Economics and Finance, together with colleagues from foreign universities, examined team characteristics and found that less diverse teams are better suited to objectives where a high average performance is important, whereas more diverse teams are preferable when avoiding failure is critical. The paper has been published in Economic Theory.

Economists Propose More Effective Approach to Reducing Smoking
Economists at HSE University have examined how smokers respond to changes in cigarette prices. When tobacco prices increase, cigarette consumption does not always decline. In fact, spending on tobacco may even rise: according to the researchers, a 1% decrease in cigarette affordability leads to a 0.28% increase in per capita tobacco expenditure. The findings suggest that to reduce smoking rates, tobacco prices must rise faster than household incomes. The study has been published in Voprosy Statistiki.

A Hybrid Approach for the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows

P. 66–81.
Ilya Bychkov, Mikhail Batsyn

The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is one of the most popular combinatorial optimization problems which is closely related to the real-life optimization challenges. Being developed for more than 60 years the problem has been considered in many different formulations. In real-life goods distribution such constraints as fleet size and mix, sitedependency constraints, hard and soft time windows, vehicle capacity constraints are very important. In this paper we consider Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem with hard Time Windows. We propose a hybrid heuristic algorithm which contains elements of ant colony optimization strategy and tabu search technique. Our algorithm shows good performance and results for the well-known Solomon dataset.
