The Outline of the OPEC Conference Simulation
This article covers the positive features of a simulation and provides the outline of the OPEC (The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) Conference Simulation that was held with the 3rd-year students of the Department of World Economy and International Relations of National Research University “Higher School of Economics”. The article describes the three stages of the simulation at length. The purpose of the simulation was to give students an opportunity to see the market forces at work with concrete example and to give them hands-on experience in negotiating and decision-making. After the simulation students completes a survey, the results of which are quantitatively analyzed and are described in the paper. Face-to-face interviews with the students were also conducted and the findings are available below. The students learnt their strengths when performing in public, they were able to use their theoretical knowledge in practice and that helped them to understand it better.

This paper estimates the impact of the international sanctions of 2014 and 2022, as well as the food embargo, on the technical efficiency of agricultural enterprises. The assessment was carried out using panel data from agricultural enterprises specializing in dairy production in the Leningrad Region for the period 2010–2023, employing stochastic frontier analysis. It is ...

The impact of state subsidies on Russia's post-Soviet dairy output remains controversial; this study provides an empirical analysis of that relationship. Using an unbalanced panel dataset of 123 dairy enterprises in the Leningrad Region spanning the period from 2010 to 2023, we employ stochastic frontier analysis to assess these relationships. The results indicate that subsidies ...

Introduction. The active integration of rapidly developing omics and computer technologies in the 21st century has led to a breakthrough in understanding the principles of the functioning of living systems. One of the dynamically developing integrative areas in biology is biological modeling. The fundamental paradigm has been the methodology that allows for the prediction of ...

The paper is the first attempt in the Russian literature to assess returns to platform employment in the Russian labor market. The theory offers no clear predictions regarding its impact on workers’ earnings: there might be both a premium and a penalty. We distinguish three groups of workers: employees; self-employed using internet-platforms; self-employed not using ...

Emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is revolutionizing teaching and evaluation in higher education. Early adopters have already demonstrated how large language model (LLM) conversational agents can serve as on-demand tutors, yet empirical evidence regarding their effectiveness in facilitating conceptual learning in non-computational domains is scant. Based on constructivist learning theory, this paper presents a ...

High-level simulation is a critical stage for optimizing Network-on-Chip (NoC) design, enabling a reduction in time and resources at subsequent development stages. Existing tools often possess limited configuration flexibility and support a narrow set of traffic models, which complicates the evaluation of networks specialized for specific applications. This paper investigates an approach to extending NoC ...

The primary requirement for a tracked vehicle simulation model used in the computer-based training simulators for the tracked vehicle and robot control is their operation in real or near-real time. This requirement is most often met by the significantly simplified kinematics and dynamics in the tracked running gear substructure interaction model. The paper describes an ...

Each region is characterized by unique development features that shape the future of its economy. The level of economic development of a region is determined by various conditions, such as the availability of natural resources, the availability of production facilities, the development of institutions and the social sphere, infrastructural security, and many others. Therefore, when ...

Extortionary ("harassment") bribery can persist even when widely condemned, consistent with a coordination problem sustained by beliefs about what others do and what others consider acceptable. We study whether a minimal institutional featurethe presence of a third-party monitor empowered to punish-shifts (i) normative expectations about extortion and compliance and (ii) empirical expectations about their prevalence. ...

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, ...

The paper proposes a graphical model of a small open economy. The dynamics of the graphical model is then illustrated using impulse responses from the corresponding formal semi-structural model (QPM model). The authors have several goals in preparing this description of the graphical macroeconomic model. The first goal of the paper is to present an adapted ...

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 ...

By happiness, we mean the intensity of emotions people experience while comparing their new income with its expected value, or the target income with its original value. In the first case, ...

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 ...

Vision is one of the well-researched sensing abilities of robots. However, applying vision-based algorithms can be challenging when used in different environmental conditions. One such challenge in vision-based localization is dynamic lighting conditions. In this paper, we present a new Gazebo plugin that enables realistic illumination changes depending on a current Sun's position. A plugin's ...
