ABSTRACTS
Theoretical
foundations, historical origins and related modern justification of the economic
policy held in Russia are characterized. The mutually agreed postulate of such
a policy is that it comes from dogmatic, false and harmful ideas about the
utility of automated activity of market self-organization mechanisms and
non-interference of the state in the regulation issues. Based initially on the
wrong policy promises, the policy of modern monetarists and monetarism have
served as economic stagnation, recession, deprived of perspectives and impulses
for development. Some recommendations on the withdrawal of Russia from the
«funnel» of monetarist misconceptions to come to the way of sustainable
economic development through the use of mechanisms and measures of state
support proven in the successful states are provided.
Keywords: management
theory, macroeconomic stability, quantity theory of money, inflationary
expectations.

V.V., Presnyakov V.F. Institutional Encapsulation and Transactional Configuration of Organized
Economic Entities. // Economics of contemporary
Russia 2015. ¹2 (69) Ñ.35-46.
The
concept of institutional encapsulation of organized economic entity is proposed
here, because it helps to weaken rigid and often socially unbased limitations
on economic activities stemming from the regime of private ownership being
uncritically treated as a decisive factor in the functioning of economy. The
notion of institutional encapsulation widens the capabilities of the theory to
solve problems of compromised resolution of interests’ conflicts between the
participants. The basic elements selected for the integrative studies of
institutional encapsulation of the economic entity are the main elements of
transactional model of the economic enterprise: systemic functions of economic
entity, transactions types and their levels within the enterprise organization
structure.
Keywords: institutional
encapsulation, transactional configuration, transactional model, institutional
transformations.

Dementyev V.E., Evsukov S.G. Pricing for the Innovative Product
in a Bilateral Monopoly. // Economics of contemporary
Russia 2015. ¹2 (69) Ñ.47-56.
The
article is devoted to studying the problem of the innovation products pricing
for the defense purposes. The existing regulations, which concern the pricing
process, when purchasing the production for the state purposes, in particular,
within the area of the state defense order. It is grounded that in the case of
bilateral monopoly the pricing becomes the result of an auction between the
single customer and the single contractor concerning the value of the
contractor cost. The article suggests the use of fundamentally different
approach to evaluate the price on innovation products: identification of top
and lower limits of the price, based on using scientifically grounded methods
of estimating the benefits of customer (exploiter) and limited cost of provider.
Keywords: pricing,
innovation, products for defense purposes, method of the imputation, method of
the substitution, break-even price, opportunity cost.

A.A., Vecherina O.P. The Importance of the Kimberley Process for the Development of the
Global Diamond Market. // Economics of
contemporary Russia 2015. ¹2 (69) Ñ.57-72.
The
paper considers the phenomenon of the Kimberley Process (KP) created with the
active assistance of the UN Security Council to ensure control over the two
main quantitative parameters of the global diamond market — production and
trade of diamonds. During more than ten years of the KP certification scheme
(KPCS) performance one managed to reduce significantly the illegal flow of
diamonds, however, the development of diamond-producing countries in Africa
have not been achieved. The reasons for the limited impact of KP can be
explained by the initially set parameters of their activities (consensus in
decision-making, insufficient coverage of the industry and the absence of
serious sanctions), as well as the significant restructuring of the world
diamond market at the beginning of the 21st century.
Keywords: Kimberley
process, diamonds, diamond mining, world diamond market, mineral resources,

N.A. The Role of Social Capital in Successful
Opening of the Small Business Enterprise (Economic Aspect). // Economics of contemporary Russia 2015. ¹2 (69) Ñ.73-85.
The
paper investigates the influence of individual social capital on successful
opening of a small business. The notion of individual social capital is
composed of a number of factors.
Appropriate hypotheses were formulated to determine the influence of
each factor on the entrepreneurs’ chances of successful opening of their own
business. The study was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, based on
logit-models, we stated the factors that affect significantly the successful
opening of the individual business. In the second phase we tested the
hypotheses formulated, using logit-models with regard to gender. The resulting
models can be used to estimate the probability of successful opening of
start-up businesses.
Keywords: social
capital, small business, logit-models.
