Machine Learning Models Can Help Reduce Volatility and Boost Stock Market Returns
The use of machine learning models makes it possible to achieve greater accuracy in predicting risks in the Russian stock market compared to classical econometric approaches. The predictive power of these models increases by 23%, while the average investor’s return can reach up to 13% per annum. These conclusions were drawn by Nikita Lysenok from the Department of Financial Market Infrastructure at the HSE Faculty of Economic Sciences. The paper has been published in Fundamental and Applied Mathematics.

Pocket Money, Personal Interest, and Family Practices: What Shapes Students Economic Literacy?
University students' economic literacy depends not only on their field of study but also on their interest in economics, the learning environment, and family financial practices. For example, students who received pocket money irregularly tend to perform better on economic literacy tests than their peers who received financial support on a regular basis. These findings come from a study conducted by HSE University involving more than 1,100 students from five Russian universities. The findings have been published in Cakrawala Pendidikan.

Monks, management and God’s mercy: the Russian monasteries and the environment of the Russian north in the early modern age (16th – 18th centuries)

P. 47–53.
Dadykina M., Kraikovski A.

Russian North  region was good for industry and trade and by the late 16th century it had become one of Russia’s most advanced and developed regions, incorporating the port of Archangelsk ‒ the major gateway for Russian commerce with Europe. The role of the monasteries in governing this region was a crucial one. In the following paragraphs we will consider the multifaceted interrelationship between the monks and the water environment of the region in more detail. We will start from landscape management considerations related to the foundation of the monastery itself, proceed to the control of the water environment in the monastery’s everyday life and lastly analyze the role water control played in monastic economic power.
