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.

Malthus Across Nations. The Reception of Thomas Robert Malthus in Europe, America and Japan

Edward Elgar Publishing, 2020.
Melnik D. V.
Under the general editorship: G. Faccarello, M. Izumo, H. Morishita

The writings of Thomas Robert Malthus continue to resonate today, particularly An Essay on the Principle of Population which was published more than two centuries ago. Malthus Across Nations creates a fascinating picture of the circulation of his economic and demographic ideas across different countries, highlighting the reception of his works in a variety of nations and cultures. This unique book offers not only a fascinating piece of comparative analysis in the history of economic thought but also places some of today’s most pressing debates into an accurate historical perspective, thereby improving our understanding of them.

Providing a complex and multi-faceted analysis of the reception and dissemination of the works of Malthus, this book examines how his approach was misunderstood and distorted throughout his lifetime and beyond. It illuminates the different ways in which groups of actors, including laymen, politicians and experts, have reacted to his work in specific historical and intellectual contexts, and with particular theoretical, political and moral concerns. Detailed breakdowns of the main controversies over his work are also explored.

An insightful read for scholars studying economics and history of economic thought, this book guides readers from Malthus’s original publications to their continuing impact today. This will also be a useful volume for ethics, political thought and intellectual history students.

The reception of Malthus in Russia
Melnik D. V., Markov M., , in: Malthus Across Nations. The Reception of Thomas Robert Malthus in Europe, America and Japan.: Edward Elgar Publishing, 2020. Ch. 8 P. 359–399.
This chapter provides some details of Malthus’s personal encounter with Russia and distinguishes three periods in the reception of his works in the Russian Empire. During the first period (1800s–1830s), there was generally adopted an optimistic version of Malthusianism suitable for substantiation of the benevolent nature of the ‘enlightened despotism’ – ‘Malthusianism in reverse’. During ...

Cyclical Fluctuations, Financial Frictions, and Productivity Differences across Firms
Mishin A., Guerrieri L., Kim J., / Series 2026-042 "Finance and Economics Discussion Series (FEDS)". 2026.
Within narrowly defined industries, the most productive firms produce far more than the least productive from the same inputs, and this dispersion widens in downturns. We build a tractable representative-agent model in which financial frictions—adverse selection and moral hazard—make firms sort endogenously into lenders, strategic defaulters, and producers. As credit conditions vary, the resulting misallocation ...

В аналитической записке обсуждается долгосрочно устойчивый уровень цены на российскую нефть. Это тот уровень, к которому цена нефти, вероятнее всего, будет тяготеть в долгосрочной перспективе. Потребность в его определении возникает по нескольким причинам. Во-первых, цена на нефть остается одним из ключевых экономических показателей российской экономики, определяющих экспорт, обменный курс рубля, прибыль, доходы и расходы бюджета, ...

Hybrid Competition under Fragmented Demand and Limited Consumer Choice
Bogatyrev R., Sandomirskaia M., / NRU Higher School of Economics. Series EC "Economics". 2026. No. 19(1).
This work develops a tractable model of price competition in fragmented markets where consumers consider both local and distant varieties, with cross-regional purchases subject to stochastic costs. Global competition and full localization emerge as polar cases; hybrid competition is not merely intermediate and exhibits distinctive features such as an endogenous price ceiling and non-monotonic entry ...

Elaborating on Welzel et al.'s "Cool Water Theory," our study zooms into the more limited (albeit still varied) framework conditions of Russia's huge territory. Within Russia's confines, we examine how the combination of moderately cool seasons with steady rain (i.e., Cool Water) affects sub-national areas' contemporary societal progress in two modernization indicators: material prosperity in ...

At the end of 2023, Russia updated its Strategy for Improving Financial Literacy and Developing Financial Culture Until 2030. Unlike the previous strategy, the current strategic goals include not only financial literacy but also financial culture. ‘Culture’ is normative and socially preferred behaviour. The updated strategy brings into focus the relationship between financial literacy and responsible financial behaviour. To explore this relationship, the authors rely on data from the All-Russian Survey of Consumer Finance (2020 and 2022).  Socially ...

This work is devoted to a theoretical explanation of the Easterlin paradox, according to which long-term economic growth does not make average level of people's happiness increasing.

Menstrual health as a public concern in Ghana: A conceptual review of symbolic and structural ownership
Helen Selorm Wohoyie, Anikin V. A., Tomsk State University Journal of Philosophy, Sociology and Political Science 2026 Vol. 90 P. 204–211
Menstrual health serves as a critical litmus test for state intervention in contexts where women’s bodily experiences are historically shaped by stigma, cultural taboos, and structural violence. Drawing on Joseph Gusfield’s theory of social problems, this review traces the moral passage of menstruation in Ghana (1992–2025) from a privately managed, stigmatized phenomenon to a matter ...

Introduction:  As cities continue to grow, access to natural environments is becoming more limited, contributing to increased stress levels in urban populations. Panoramic 360° videos provide a creative and scalable means of simulating natural environments, potentially reducing stress in city residents under controlled settings. Here, we examined whether short immersive experiences in different urban environments support ...

M. O. Balaban, Vasilizhenko A. A., L. B. Karachurina et al., Regional Research of Russia 2026 Vol. 16 No. 1 P. 151–169
The population dynamics of settlements are determined by many different factors, including, as research shows, the availability of educational and healthcare facilities (i.e., basic social infrastructure) close to home. One can assume a two-way relationship: a decrease in population entails a reduction in the number of assigned students in schools and healthcare institutions and, as a result, the ...

Социально-экономическая география зарубежных стран: материалы к курсу. Часть 1. Основные концепции региональной наук
Zamyatina N., Rusakov D., Evgeny V., Издательские решения, 2022.
Десятилетиями социально‑экономическая география зарубежных стран представляла собой по большей части сбор данных о размещении отраслей хозяйства — с довольно слабой концептуальной базой соответствующих процессов. Это не удивительно, если вспомнить, что отечественная экономическая география занималась размещением хозяйства в условиях социализма. Сама возможность применения отечественных концепций к «зарубежным капиталистическим странам» вызывала жаркие споры в профессиональной среде отечественных экономгеографов — многие представители старшего поколения помнят, как ломались копья в дискуссии о том, например, возможны ли территориально‑производственные комплексы в условиях капитализма. Между тем параллельно в «зарубежных капиталистических странах» формировались целые группы научных школ в сфере изучения размещения хозяйства и регионального развития, зачастую на стыке региональной экономики и собственно экономической географии (за рубежом всё чаще используется обобщающее наименование — региональная наука, или региональные исследования: regional science/regional studies). Анализируя экономико‑географические проблемы зарубежных стран, современные исследователи используют широкий набор понятий, сложившихся в последние примерно три десятилетия, и пока ещё, к сожалению, довольно слабо знакомых отечественным географам (от «перетоков знания» до «тройной спирали»). Часть зарубежных разработок — вроде теории кластерного развития — вошли и в отечественную науку; однако нередко зарубежные концепции используются в несколько суженной и искажённой трактовке (как правило, в силу инерции парадигм мышления, чуждых используемым концепциям). Зачастую исследователи, наоборот, не видят потенциал применения тех или иных концепций на нетрадиционном материале. Институт регионального консалтинга (ИРК), в котором начинали свой путь в профессиональную аналитику уже десятки выпускников кафедры социально‑экономической географии зарубежных стран географического факультета МГУ, принял решение способствовать овладению актуальными концепциями в сфере региональной науки как студентами указанной кафедры, так и всеми российскими исследователями в сфере экономической географии и регионального развития. При финансовой и организационной поддержке ИРК уже подготовлена серия учебных пособий «Институт регионального консалтинга — студентам». Ранее вышедшее пособие «Эволюционное страноведение: материалы к курсу. Часть 1. Смета траектории регионального и странового развития: разбор примеров» призвано продемонстрировать спектр возможностей применения актуальных концепций региональной науки в страноведении и анализе развития отдельных регионов России и зарубежных стран (в 2022 году подготовлено второе издание пособия, исправленное и дополненное). Для нового пособия по социально‑экономической географии зарубежных стран отобраны ключевые (на взгляд редактора) направления, необходимые современному специалисту для понимания развития мировой региональной науки. В абсолютном большинстве это концепции актуальной экономической географии; кроме того, добавлены экономические понятия, без знания которых затруднено понимание мейнстрима региональной науки (так, например, тема убывающей и возрастающей отдачи является ключевой для понимания направления так называемой «новой экономической географии» в экономике), а также системы популярных прикладных мер в региональном развитии («новая промышленная политика», понятие «зависимости от колеи» и др.). Разумеется, это не исчерпывающий спектр концепций и подходов экономической географии (не говоря уже о том, что в пособии совсем не затронуты концепции социальной и других направлений общественной географии); работа над подготовкой новых материалов продолжается. Появлению пособия в немалой степени поспособствовал труд магистранта кафедры социально‑экономической географии зарубежных стран географического факультета МГУ имени М. В. Ломоносова Фёдора Чернецкого в рамках прохождения производственной практики в Институте регионального консалтинга. Авторами разделов стали студенты указанной кафедры. В ходе практической части курса «Социально‑экономическая география зарубежных стран» они выполняли задание не только тщательно описывать методологический контекст и суть той или иной концепции, но и продемонстрировать её работу на конкретном примере — российском или зарубежном. Разработка задания и общая редакция проведена Надеждой Замятиной, их преподавателем и одновременно заместителем директора Института регионального консалтинга.

This paper proposes Covariate-Balanced Weighted Stacked Difference-in-Differences (CBWSDID), a design-based extension of weighted stacked DID for settings in which untreated trends may be conditionally rather than unconditionally parallel. The estimator separates within-subexperiment design adjustment from across-subexperiment aggregation: matching or weighting improves treated-control comparability within each stacked subexperiment, while the corrective stacked weights of Wing et ...
