Анекдоты о неформальной экономике: смешно о серьезном
Социологические исследования. 2018. № 9. С. 113-123.
The article is devoted to anecdotes about informal economy. They tell us about corruption, theft in production, shadow entrepreneurship, informal channels of distribution of scarce goods etc. These anecdotes are a peculiar encyclopedia of soviet and post-soviet man’s patterns and stereotypes of thinking.
The article develops the thesis that laughing refers to negative emotions and turns them into humor and jokes. The laughing serves as the social critic’s instrument, which emphasizes the difference between reality and expectation. The anecdotes do not solve any problems but decrease their severity and help to adopt to them. The article analyzes three periods: the USSR, Russia of 90-th and Russia after 2000.

This paper discusses the social and economic dynamics within autonomous fishing communities in Southern Russia. We hypothesize that despite the path-dependency problem and the view that informal institutions can be successful only in the long term (both widely accepted by sociologists and neo-institutional economists), strong exogenous shocks can demolish old informal institutions, leading to either ...

Милиция является частью общественного сектора, производящая коллективные блага, где действуют отличные от рынка принципы мотивации работников. Коллективные блага, которые производит милиция, - это обеспечение общественной безопасности, предупреждение и пресечение преступлений, защита прав личности[1]. Нормальная работа милиции предполагает отделение ее от рынка.

The article contributes to the discussion on the informal economic activity in post-socialist countries. Quite often this activity is related to state regulation. We provide evidence from rural Russia suggesting that state shirking also can give rise to informal economic relations. Empirical data from Altai Krai show that informal transfers from farms to rural municipalities ...

The authors discover and describe a new economic phenomenon in modern Russia, which they term “scattered (or dispersed) manufactories”. In provincial Russian towns people engage in cooperative economic activities, which in their form and substance are strikingly similar to pre-industrial manufacturing in Europe and Russia in the 14–18th centuries. Such "scattered manufactories" are a post-archaic ...

Для анализа данной взаимосвязи авторы используют несколько статистических методов — логит, линейную модель вероятности и метод наименьших квадратов.

Ambiguity plays an important role in our everyday cognitive
experience. Since the 1980s, the neural bases for the perception of
ambiguous information have been investigated but remains poorly
understood. In our previous research, an increase of the N400 ERP
component was found to be a common response for the perception
of two different types of ambiguous stimuli: “canned” verbal jokes
