At HSE University–St Petersburg, Experts Discuss How AI Changes Tourist Routes and Cultural Heritage
Neural networks are no longer simple travel assistants; now they decide what to include on the route and what to skip. Artificial intelligence changes how people perceive a place and shapes the image of tourist centres. At the II International Scientific and Practical Conference ’Information Technologies in the Preservation and Promotion of Cultural Heritage,’ researchers discussed who controls algorithmic solutions and in what ways, and whether authentic traditions get lost in them.

Actual Autonomy, Efficiency and Performance of Universities: Insights from the Russian Case

International Journal of Public Administration. 2022. Vol. 45. No. 2. P. 121–134.
Agasisti T., Shibanova E.

This paper studies the relationship between university institutional autonomy (both formal and informal) and their performance and efficiency using multi-stage empirical methodology. First, we measure an “autonomy-in-use” index, and then we employ Data Envelopment Analysis in order to evaluate institutional efficiency. Lastly, we use a panel fixed effect regression to provide robust evidence for the relationship between institutional autonomy, performance and efficiency. We find that formal status of autonomy does not predict higher publication activity or efficiency. However, the findings also reveal that informal autonomy is positively associated with efficiency scores, and advanced practices in staff management can contribute to increases in publication activity and overall institutional efficiency.

Применение специальных финансово-экономических знаний в антимонопольных делах о картелях
Москвитин О. А., Финансовые рынки и банки 2026 № 9 С. 730–732
Статья посвящена проблеме применения специальных финансово-экономических знаний при рассмотрении дел о картельных соглашениях. Автор исходит из того, что российская правоприменительная практика по делам о картелях исторически опирается преимущественно на поведенческие и цифровые «следы» сговора, тогда как экономический анализ зачастую играет вспомогательную роль. На основе анализа отечественного и зарубежного опыта обосновывается тезис о необходимости разграничения двух ...

Early Career Gender Wage Gap in STEM: New Evidence from Administrative Data
Ksenia V. Rozhkova, Sergey Yu. Roshchin, Natalya K. Yemelina, Population and Economics 2026 Vol. 10 No. 3 P. 61–81
Increasing female representation in technical majors, traditionally associated with high earnings, is recognised as a mechanism for promoting gender equality in the labour market. However, if women quit STEM soon after graduation, increasing their proportion in relevant disciplines will not help reduce the gender wage gap. This paper provides new evidence of the ‘leaky pipeline’ ...
