Bagrinovsky K.A., Nikonova A.A., Sokolov N.A. (Moscow) Methods of technological transformation in productive system
Economics and mathematical methods
, 2016, 52 (1), 3-19.
Some adaptive approach to the management of technology modernization is proposed on microeconomic and mezoeconomic level. The mechanism is realized with the special methods and models, aimed to determining the best productive technologies and governance driving influences to shift the productive system to the new technologies in accordance with its internal specialties and the overall system resource’s restrictions. There is specificity in the key characteristics identified for productive system that affect mobility and adaptability. The opportunities for including some special structures and relationships in the economic system are discussed which will be able to contribute to harmonize the interests of economic agents, for example, in the framework both of formation of an appropriate corporate culture and of appropriate support from the macro-regulator. The set of economic-mathematical models of technological change is presented in the general scheme of technological transformation of productive system. Description follows with illustration for basic models both of formation of upgrade options; choice of new technologies and choice of management tools and incentive measures, taking into account some resource and price restrictions. Creation and approbation of the organizational and economic mechanisms to change technology and business environment are based on iterative procedures for mutual settings with different input parameters of productive system and its environment. So the decisions made in variable environment with the help of the new technology introduction mode suggested in such scheme will be in balance with essential technological and economic parameters.
Keywords: productive technology, productive factors (labor, capital), resource input, output, price, demand, supply, innovation, driving influences.

Prokopyev M.G. (Moscow) Analysis of influence of food import prices on domestic market prices: methodical aspects
Economics and mathematical methods
, 2016, 52 (1), 20-27.
The article examines the impact of the prices of imported products in the domestic prices (producer prices and consumer prices) under conditions of imperfect substitution. Special attention is paid to the extent to which imported and domestic goods to replace each other in the domestic market. In this context, examines the relationship elasticity transmission prices for imported products in the domestic prices and the Armington elasticity of substitution. The research is based on a simple one-sector model of supply and demand, which is on the demand side includes the Armington approach. The relationship of the elasticities of substitution and elasticity of transmission price of imports in producer prices and consumer prices is illustrated by the example of the domestic market of meat (poultry, cattle and pork). The results do not contradict the economic reality and the situation on food markets.
Keywords: Import substitution, price of imports, the domestic price, elasticity of substitution, elasticity of transmission, Armington apðroximation, food market.

Aivazian S.A., Afanasiev M.Yu., Kudrov A.V. (Moscow) Models of productive capacity and technological efficiency evaluations of regions of the Russian Federation concerning the output structure
Economics and mathematical methods
, 2016, 52 (1), 28-44.
Based on the author's methodology econometric model production potential of Russian regions is built, taking into account evaluation intellectual capital and the characteristics of the factors of efficiency, determining the willingness to innovate. In the development of the results which were presented by the authors in (Makarov et al., 2014), the estimates of technical efficiency of production for all regions for the period 2009–2013 were got. Econometric models of the production potential for groups of regions that are comparable in the structure of industrial production were built. The resulting estimates of technical efficiency for regions within each group were got. Hypothesis’ testing was conducted, which allows to compare estimates of the effectiveness of the region, obtained from the model with the relevant group the estimates based on the model constructed for the entire set of regions. It is shown that the increase in the elasticity of GRP by volume of intellectual capital is observed for the regions which are included into the base group, the “processing” and “agriculture” regions, and also in the model constructed for the entire set of regions. It is established that the model constructed for the entire set of regions, can be used to obtain local estimates of the efficiency of regions of the base group. Local evaluation of the efficiency of the regions in the other groups, it is advisable to obtain appropriate models. The General model of the production potential correctly describes efficiency’s time trends, which was estimated by model of production potential of the regions of each group. Therefore, the General model can be used to simulate the dynamics of regions’ efficiency.
Please note the figures of evaluating models' parameters in line 4 of Table 3 should be read without zero before the comma
Keywords: regional economy, econometric modeling, hypothesis testing, stochastic frontier, efficiency estimation.

Gavrilets Yu.N., Klimenko K.V., Kudrov A.V. (Moscow) Statistical analysis of the social tension factors in Russia
Economics and mathematical methods
, 2016, 52 45-66.
The behavior of the mass of the Russian population in the form of protest movements is discussed and analyzed. The hypothesis of political causation for the protests by terms of socio-economic life isn’t rejected. The empirical basis of the study are the data on protest activity of the population in 2011–2012 years, formed on the basis of printed and electronic federal and regional media as well as the content of social networking in Internet. It ñîntains mathematical and statistical analysis of various forms of public discontent and protests of various kinds. Two integral indexes are obtained from the principal component analysis: the index of social tension, which accumulates all kinds of protests, and index of social dissatisfaction, and which reflects all forms of discontent. The numerical values of these indices allow a comparison and ranking of different regions of Russia on the socio-political and economic environment. There is a statistically significant linear relationship shown between the two indices. The found regression makes it possible to carry out a conditional forecast of changes in social tension with changing certain indicators of social and economic discontent of the population.
Keywords: regions, protest movements, protests, social tensions, social discontent, the quality of living, the principal component analysis, regression analysis, conditional forecast.

Smolyak S.A. (Moscow) About the problem of early termination of the investment project
Economics and mathematical methods
, 2016, 52 (1), 67-78.
We consider investment projects in the real sector of economy with several participants. There may be situations where some participant may find its advantages to terminate their participation in the project. This leads to organizational difficulties and often – to the termination of the project. To guard against such situations, it is important to provide in advance with organizational and economic assurance tools of project realization. We propose an assessment criterion that would help reveal the possibility of occurrence of such situations. It may be interpreted as a modified IRR.
Keywords: project, investor, NPV, rate of return, project continuation, project termination, optimization.

Andreeva A.V., Bogdanova T.K. (Moscow) Predicting the size of the company-customer base based on the Markov chains
Economics and mathematical methods
, 2016, 52 (1), 79-94.
The article represents the information and logical complex model to manage the company’s customer base in order to calculate the index of long-term value of the client. In contrast to the previous issues this model takes into account the peculiarities of consumer behavior and socio–demographic characteristics of the client groups, and the movement of customers within the customer base is represented as a Markov chain. Developed complex dynamic model to manage the company’s customer base makes possible to forecast the cluster frequency and the client base at all on any period, to analyze the population- change-dynamics of client cluster and to highlight the most important stages in the formation and development of the customer base. On each stage highlighted groups of clients are estimated according to future company’s profit and potential for cross selling of products/services. The estimates allow to calculate the budget for marketing activities on retention of given profit level and to compose the most effective plan of address–directed marketing activities.
Keywords: management of customer base of the company; retail trade; group of clients; customer loyalty; buying behavior; Markov chain; dynamic model; long-term value of the customer base.

Borodin K.G. (Moscow) Forecasting model of the commodity markets development in the conditions of changing state policy
Economics and mathematical methods
, 2016, 52 (1), 95-111.
The forecasting model of development of the commodity market is presented, allowing, in a scenario mode to change value of the import duty and investments into production, and thus to achieve in the long term optimum states for indicators of demand, supply and the price in the domestic market. In model the effects of import duty and investments on key parameters of the commodity market are considered. Some practical possibilities of the model are shown on the example of the meat market (beef, pork and poultry meat markets). Optimization problems are solved by calculating the value of import duty and the investment required: to double domestic production of beef, for maximum ratio between the volume of domestic pork production and imports, to assess the value of investments, allowing to keep production at the same level while reducing the import duty on poultry to 20%.
Keywords: commodity market, import duty, investments, development forecast.

Suslov V.I., Domozhirov D.A., Ibragimov N.M., Kostin V.S., Melnikova L.V., Tsyplakov A.A. (Novosibirsk) Agent-based multiregional input-output model of the Russian economy
Economics and mathematical methods
, 2016, 52 (1), 112-131.
The paper for the first time presents a concept and a pilot version of an agent-based multiregional input-output model (ABMIOM) of the Russian economy. In this model independent economic agents interact in the space in the conditions of bounded information, which corresponds to the modern out-of-equilibrium paradigm of economic modeling. The model presented differs of some existing agent-based models as follows: 1) it presents the whole economy rather than a specific segment of the market; 2) it takes in account the geographic locations of agents explicitly; 3) it is compatible with an existing normative model (multiregional input-output model) and is based on real data. Special attention is paid to the evolution of the equilibrium concept in the modeling of economic systems, especially, of spatial economies, to the algorithm of the search of equilibrium and to possibilities of studying it. Some presented results of experimental calculations allow to analyze the convergence of the model to the state of quasi-equilibrium.
Keywords: agent-based models, interaction of agents, economic space, equilibrium.

Lesik I.A., Perevozchikov A.G. (Moscow) Determination of the optimal production volumes and sales prices in the linear model of multiproduct monopoly
Economics and mathematical methods
, 2016, 52 (1), 132-140.
An algorithm of determining the volume of production and sales prices, maximizing firm profit in a multiproduct manufacturing and general resource limits is proposed. This article is based on the ideas of (Mishenko and Artyomenko, 2012). The main peculiarity of the model dis-cussed in the article is the assumption that in addition to the production volumes it enables to set the product selling price. As in the Mishchenko-Artyomenko model, the case planning for one period is analyzed. It is proved that the decision of the primary problem of optimizing Pareto non-dominant process and output volumes can be reduced to the problem of quadratic program-ming. It allows to find an alternative function of annual income for monopolies for the dynamic model of investment described in (Perevozchikov, Lesik, 2014). A model of monopoly from (Vasin, Morozov, 2005) for multiproduct market is analyzed in the article. A function of supply and Walras equilibrium is proposed for the purpose. Proved the theorem of existence and uniqueness of balanced and monopolistic prices, Pareto non-dominated. Obtained geometrical balanced and monopolistic prices providing the difference between monopolistic and balanced prices.
Keywords: multiproduct monopoly model, production volume, sales prices, general limitations on resources, the optimal strategy.

Glaziev S.Yu. (Moscow) National economy structures in the global economic development
Economics and mathematical methods
, 2016, 52 (2), 3-29.
The author discusses the fundamental issues of long-term economic development, representing a sequential process of change in technology and global economic modes. The patterns of substitution of technological modes and the long waves of the economic conjuncture connected with them have been disclosed in the earlier works of the author, the concept of the global economic mode as a whole system of institutions, providing the economic reproduction, is introduced for the first time. The life cycles of the four global economic modes and their connection with world wars have been traced. Inevitability of transition to a new global economic mode and move of the center of the world economy from the USA to South East Asia has been validated; the threats of a new world war for global domination have been assessed. The author showed that due to this process the U.S. aggression is aimed in the post- Soviet space, at tightening control over its financial and economic periphery in order to strengthen their advantages in competition with China. Proposals for the development strategy and economic policy of Russia to neutralize the risks of defeat and integration into the core of a new global economic mode have been validated.
Keywords: the cycle of capital accumulation, technological structure, world economic structure, technological collection.

Nizamutdinov M.M., Oreshnikov V.V. (Ufa) Formation of the target indicators of regional development strategy using fuzzy logic algorithms
Economics and mathematical methods
, 2016, 52 (2), 30-39.
The article deals with the strategy of regional development on the basis tools of economic-mathematical modeling of social and economic systems. Preliminary analysis of approaches and software solutions in this sphere showed that in the first instance the aspects of definition of the quantitative characteristics require consideration of the purposes of development and elaboration of regulatory impact for their achievement. The approach to formation of the indicative plan and parameters of control within justification of medium-term strategy of regional development, integrating procedures of the goal-setting and regulation, characterized by the existence of indistinct algorithm of classification of situations and corrections the values of parameters of management in the conditions of mutual adaptation of interests of the various subsystems of the region. Criteria of assessment of the situation, function of accessory and base of indistinct rules were developed for use of methods of fuzzy logic. Besides, created the complex of adjustment rules of the control parameters. The proposed approach allows to associate a model of functioning of the economic agents with a model definition of the objectives of regional development into a unified system of feedback control, and ensure the most efficient use of resources at the formation of the medium-term strategy of regional development.
Keywords: regional development strategy, indicative plan, modeling, fuzzy logic.

Ilinskiy D.G. (Moscow) Lines of savings and loan tariff plans: properties
Economics and mathematical methods
, 2016, 52 (2), 40-59.
In article Ilinskiy, Polterovich, Starkov (2014à) we investigate the transition from the saving and loan programs of mortrage to modern institutes. The concept of LSTP (Lines of Savings and Loan Tariff Plans) was introduced. The parameters of LSTP are realizing the "smooth" changing from subsidizing plans to commercial. The following properties were observed: fairness, fullness, rightness, local rightness, effectiveness. In this paper we analyse connections between this properties for wide class of LSTP. We find the profit of agents using the LSTP in terms of parameters. We prove, that the concepts rightness and local rightness are equivalent. We show that effective LSTP can be changed by effective fairness LSTP with same profit of agents. The conditions on effective LSTP to be full are found. Results show that we can simplify the finding of effective (Pareto-optimal) LSTP.
Keywords: mortgage, line of savings and loan plans.

Svetlov N.M. (Moscow) Econometric analysis of expansion of surface transportation networks
Economics and mathematical methods
, 2016, 52 (2), 60-74.
A disequilibrium theoretical model of long-term economic dynamics, which considers availability of an aggregated resource and satisfaction of needs in specific outputs, is tested against the expansion of surface transportation networks. The 1871-2013 time series of the length of the USA railroads, highways, pawed roads, surfaced roads and total automobile roads, some of which lack numerous observations, are used for the empirical testing. Two incomplete non-linear auto-regression empirical specifications are applied, which differ in the lag duration (one year and 13 years). The both are estimated using generalized maximum entropy (GME) procedure, which is enriched with the endogenous supporting values for the parameter estimates. For the purpose of testing null hypotheses a non-parametric criterion of statistical indiscriminability of two series (reference and compared) is developed, using an area of intersect of polygons of empirical distributions as a critical value. The empirical specification assuming one year lag supports the proposed theoretical model. The parameter estimates do not support the influence of Schumpeterian technological structure changes on the extension of the transportation networks. The possible reason is the fixed correspondence between a given type of the network and a certain technical structure, which is assumed by the empirical specification. The specification with the 13 year lag is rejected, thus giving no evidence for the significance of the investment lag for the transportation network expansion processes.
Keywords: surface transportation networks, disequilibrium model, GME, technological structure, investment lag.

Voronovitsky M.M. (Moscow) The dynamic model of the closed market with one commodity and finite linear automata as participants
Economics and mathematical methods
, 2016, 52 (2), 75-90.
The dynamic model of a closed market with one commodity, which is a combination of autonomous and interacting participants, is investigated in the paper. Closure of the market means that quantity of the commodity and amount of money on the market are constant at all the moments of time. Each partner in the market can be in one of the three statuses: à buyer, a seller and not a participant in trade at this moment of time. The interaction is carried out through trade. Partners in the market change their statuses and prices, using the personal information of each of them about trade in the previous moment of time only and trying to secure their partnership in trade at the next moment. The finite automata models the choice of risk degree in definition of new prices. So we study the closed market with one commodity as a system of interacting finite automata. We showed by the computer investigation the convergence of the average price of the market to a neighborhood of some his average value. We also investigated the role of volume of automata's memory, which represent the participants of market, on the behavior of all our system.
Keywords: mathematical model, closed market, one commodity market, dynamics of prices, trajectory, stationary set, stationary state, finite automata.

Matveenko V.D., Bronshtein Ye.M. (St-Petersburg, Ufa) On the properties of CES production functions in a model of production with intermediate goods
Economics and mathematical methods
, 2016, 52 (2), 91-102.
CES production functions are widely used in economic growth and development researches. However, it is not always taken into account that properties of different specifications of CES functions (continual or discrete, with the weights or without them) are rather differ. The properties of CES production functions, essential for analysis of economic models, are studied. The CES function is proved with a finite number of arguments with normalized weights increases with the elasticity of substitution parameter, while under the absence of weights this parameter of the CES function decreases. Pattern of behavior of the CES function with argument x(i), defined on a continual set [0,N], is operated by the value N. Under N = 1 the function with continual argument behaves (in respect of the elasticity of substitution) similarly to the function with a finite number of arguments with weights, but under N > 1 its behavior is quite different. There are important differences between the continual and the discrete CES functions when the elasticity of substitution parameter converges to zero. We show the mistakes when continual CES functions are applied to models of production with intermediate goods which have gained popularity in recent years. We also show some shortcomings of continual models with intermediate goods when using these models for the analysis of economic development problems.
Keywords: production function, CES function, continuous and discrete economical models, monotony, minimum, essential infimum.

Kurochkin S.V. (Moscow) The convexity of option prices as a criterion of no-arbitrage
Economics and mathematical methods
, 2016, 52 (2), 103-111.
It is necessary at any time for the market prices to satisfy certain conditions of a set of options with different strike prices on the same reference asset be arbitrage-free. Some conditions of this kind are the consequences of arbitrage-free requirement: monotonicity, Lipschitz-parameters and conxexity. We give the complete set of independent and verifiable convexity-type properties for option prices that are equivalent to the absence of arbitrage. A special version of Farkas lemma was used in the proof of the main result. This construction may be generalized to the dirivatives depending on several reference assets and/or with arbitrary piecewise linear payoff diagrams. It is proved that one may choose a finite set of functions on an option portfolio sufficient to verify the arbitrage-free requirement for this context.
Keywords: option, no-arbitrage pricing, convexity.

Economics and mathematical methods

The article discusses the aggregation of production functions (PF). It is shown that consistent aggregation of PF is possible only in very special cases. A statistical aggregation method is suggested. It allows to synthesize new kinds of macroeconomic PF. Macroeconomic PF for the US economy based on industrial Cobb-Douglas PF with a normal distribution parameters is constructed and investigated. For the Russian economy the aggregate PF obtained on the basis of sectoral and regional Cobb-Douglas PF. It is shown that in case of scarcity of statistical data the more correct estimations of the aggregate PF for Russia may be derived using regional PF.

Nevecherya A.P. (Krasnodar) Analysis of labor force dynamics in intersectoral mathematical model of the labor market
Economics and mathematical methods
, 2016, 52 (2), 129-140.
We propose mathematical model of self-organization of the labor force. This model is based on the balance equations for the number of employed and unemployed in different sectors of economy. The unemployed are divided by their last place of employment. The mathematical model was transformed to a more convenient form for numerical analysis. The tasks of analyzing the dynamics of the labor force and forecasting of the number of employed and unemployed were set for the model. Methods for estimation of the exogenous variables of the model were proposed. Theoretical results were applied for solving the specific problems. In the above examples was used the real data of the number of employed and unemployed at the labor market of the Russian Federation for 2011-2013 years. The Federal State Statistics Service provides this information. The forecast of the labor force by the economy sectors for 2013 was made on the data for 2011 and 2012 years. The calculated data was compared with statistical data for the same 2013 year. It was shown that the error of the forecast of the number of employed by the economy sectors of the Russian Federation does not exceed 2%. We concluded that the proposed model is adequate.
Keywords: labor market, self-organization, dynamics of the labor force, forecast, vector presentation of the model.

Glaz'ev S.Yu. (Moscow) Applied results in the theory of world economic structures
Economics and mathematical methods
, 2016, 52 (3), 3-21.
The article presents the results of the applied research of the ongoing changes in the global economic and political system, made on the basis of the theory of world economic structures. This theory of the issue is described in the article in the previous issue of the journal. These changes are due to the processes of change in technology and world economic structures. As in previous long cycles, this transition is accompanied by exacerbation of international political tensions associated with the desire of the dominant country to maintain leadership by unleashing world war in order to retain control over the periphery of its financial and economic system. These objective circumstances explain the aggressive policy of the U.S. seeking to strengthen their opportunities. To do that the USA wage a hybrid war in the peripheral regions of the global economic system. This article proves the inevitability of the movement of the centre of the world economy to Asia, and reveals the risks of world war and the threat to Russia connected with them. Measures to prevent these risks and threats, including the formation of institutions of the new world economic order and implementation of the strategy of outstripping development of Russia based on the growth of new technological order, are justified.
Keywords: world economic structure, the cycle of capital accumulation, long waves, technological structures, world wars, development strategy, anti-war coalition.

Pinskaya M.R., Kolesnik G.V. (Moscow) The differentiation of the authority in tax incentives among the federal and regional levels. Fiscal implications
Economics and mathematical methods
, 2016, 52 (3), 22-35.
The authors study the problems of differentiation in the authority levels to establish tax incentives among the federal and regional government bodies and assess the corresponding negative impact on the tax competition. It is shown that the federal intervention in the regional tax privileges may lead to a distortion of vertical tax competition, a shortfall in tax revenues in the regional budgets, as well as to the migration of the tax base between regions, thereby distorting the real picture of the profits allocation. The obtained results can be used by federal and regional public authorities for developing the proposals to improve mechanisms of tax privileges provision and interbudgetary transfers' optimization.

This study examines issues of the level assessment of monetary, financial, macroeconomic and trade integration between Russia and four developed countries - China, Germany, the United Kingdom and the USA. The changes of integration level in the crisis periods were analyzed, and the presence or absence of spillover-effects in the respective channels of contagion was conclude. The research methodology is vector autoregressive model with Markov regime-switching and the analysis of estimated covariance matrix. The study shows that the spillover-effect is most likely occurs between Russia and United Kingdom (financial, macroeconomic and trade channels), while completely missing with China. For Germany and the United States revealed one channel flow crisis in Russia: trade and finance, respectively.
Keywords: crisis, channels of contagion, spillover-effect, Markov regime-switching model.

The article gives characteristics of inter-regional financial balance "Payments-Income" for calculating the aggregated price indices corresponding to the basic properties of the current prices. Our calculations in comparison with classical cross-sectoral "Input-Output" models without regional factors show the improvement of the tool to quantify the financial ratios associated with different by years material forecasts of regional economic development. Calculated values of financial ratios are balanced across sectors and regions of the country. The difference between them is determined by the accepted policy of regionally differentiated income tax, budgetary support and loans. The use of inter-regional financial balance "Payments-Income" is relatively new and not fully developed because of an extremely large volume of the object. The results of experimental calculations are given for the period until 2025 year for 20 regions of Russia and 53 industries.
Keywords: forecasting of economic development, inter-regional cross-sectoral models, financial proportions.

Economics and mathematical methods

The application peculiarities of optimal control models in economic problems are discussed. Attention is stressed in the need to find the global extremum. To this end it is proposed, as in the calculus of variations, to build central fields of extremals and examine them for global extremum. The central field consists of extremals emanating from the initial point and once covering the reachable area. Since building such a field is analytically much harder than finding one extremal, which may be interpreted only as a local extremum, paying more attention to numerical methods is recomended. This program is being implemented at a known problem that is to perform an order for a production by given time at minimum cost. The central field of Pontryagin's extremals is built. An extremal of general position consists of three stages. First, there is a waiting period, then - the gradual deployment of incremental production rate, and at the last stage - the production at maximum speed. It is proved that the field is smooth, so that each trajectory is optimal in the usual sense. For this model numerical experiments were conducted. The family of trajectories constructed numerically is almost indistinguishable visually from the analytical constructed field of extremals. This emphasizes the closeness and adequacy of both approaches.
Keywords: optimal control, order, production output, global extremum, central field of trajectories.

Arkin V.I., Slastnikov A.D. (Moscow) Comparative analysis of various principles of the granting tax holidays
Economics and mathematical methods
, 2016, 52 (3), 78-91.
The paper considers the model of investment attraction for a creation of new enterprises in the real sector through the mechanism of tax holidays. In the framework of this model, considering the stochastic dynamics of the profits from the enterprise, we give a comparative analysis of three principles of the granting tax holidays on profit tax: 1) holidays of deterministic (fixed) duration; 2) holidays based on the payback period of initial investment; 3) holidays based on the level of profit. For estimating potential possibilities of tax holidays we use an optimization approach to the specification of tax holidays options. The optimality criterions are expected discounted tax payments from the created enterprise into the consolidated budget. As indices for comparing we use the investment level (which characterizes the time of the investor's entry), the NPV from created enterprise, as well as the expected discounted tax payments from the created enterprise into the federal and regional budgets. The comparison is conducted for three types of tax holidays on profit tax which are really used in Russia: full, partial and regional holidays.
Keywords: investment project, tax holidays, stochastic process of profits, profit tax, expected tax payments into the budget, payback period.

The macroeconomic model of Russian economy is constructed. The model takes into account the key features of behavioral mechanism, economic policy mechanism, and key structural features of the economy. We model the budget rule mechanism, consider interaction of the Central Bank and budget in a context of monetary and budget reserves accumulation. We include two different monetary policy rules in the model: domestic credit rule and exchange rate rule. The exchange rate submodel describes a Balassa-Samuelson effect and terms of trade effect.The model has high forecast power: model forecast quality is higher than Ministry of Economy Development of Russian Federation forecast quality for majority of macroeconomic indicators.
Keywords: macroeconomic modeling, error correction model, budget rule, transmission mechanism of monetary policy.

Economics and mathematical methods

We study the problem of optimal planning of the renewable bioresources implementation, namely the commercial breeding of fish and animals. We are studying different models of the objective function, which is the difference between income for the entire planning period and the cost of using the resource, including extraction. The unknowns are the annual volumes of resources used. There may be restrictions on the minimum size of these volumes, as well as restrictions on the minimum amount of a resource that should remain after the end of the reporting period of planning. For the simple linear model it shows that every year except the last, we should use the minimum allowable amount of resources, and in the last year to use the maximum amount of the resource, i.e. to leave for further work specified minimum volume. For the quadratic model based on dynamic programming method we derived new formulas, thus avoiding sorting options step by step solutions. For any additive objective function new efficient algorithms are offered for solving the problem using the Pareto sets.
Keywords: resource, the objective function, the set of states, dynamic programming, the optimal path, Pareto sets.

Glaz'ev S.Yu., Goridko N.P., Nizhegorodtsev R.M. (Moscow) The critics of Irving Fisher's formula and some illusions about contemporary monetary policy.
Economics and mathematical methods
, 2016, 52 (4), 3-23.
The paper gives a theoretical and calculable refusal of Irving Fisher's Formula used by monetarist economists for proving the way of overcoming inflation through monetary volume restriction. The paper proves that Formula is a linearized approximation for non-linear relations in real economic systems. It implements regression models of a middle-run non-linear interrelation between monetary volume and inflation rate (Goridko's Curve) based on statistical data for several countries during the recent 15 years. It deploys the concept of NSEGRI (non-slowing economic growth rate of inflation) on the basis of non-linear regression models relating GDP growth to the rate of inflation. The models linking GDP with monetary volume permit to discuss 'undermonetization' and 'overmonetization' of the economy for the cases of several countries. The implication is that one of essential sources of non-linearity for those middle-run relations is inevitability of innovative shifts. The paper provides comparative analysis of monetary policies in some countries whose aims and positions in the global economy are rather different. There are some conclusions for current monetary policies in Russia.
Keywords: monetary policy, Irving Fisher's Formula, Goridko's Curve, NSEGRI, monetization of economy, economic growth.

Economics and mathematical methods
, 2016, 52 (4), 24-46.
Multivariate econometric models of Russian inflation are proposed in this paper. Consumer price index is used to quantify inflationary processes. Monetary and non-monetary variables are examined in the models. The authors consider foreign exchange rate of the ruble as monetary factor and government regulation of prices for certain goods and services and food market condition as non-monetary. Special attention is paid to a regional aspect of the problem. The question is whether estimates of parameters of the models are stable and statistically significant at the level of regional consumer price indices. The key result is statistical significance of models for the majority of the regions.
Keywords: consumer price index, inflation, Russian regions, econometric models of price indices.

Istratov V.A. (Moscow) Modelling norm emergence in social sciences.
Economics and mathematical methods
, 2016, 52 (4), 47-73.
The article compares both theories of social norm emergence and social norm interpretations that are wide spread in economics including game theory, sociology, psychology, law and agent-based simulation. Particular attention has been given to the modelization potential of the addressed theories which largely depends on the presentation of the theories and to what degree they are formalized. Despite the variety of approaches and interpretations in different sciences a strong mutual influence among them is obvious. This helps us to bring out a common mechanism of social norm formation which is described in the concluding part of the paper. The results will be of help in understanding and simulating, primarily within agent-based paradigm, of socio-economic interrelations.
Keywords: institution, social norm, game theory equilibrium, personal norm, convention, behavior, sanction, agent-based modelling.

Drobysh I.I. (Moscow) Comparative analysis of market risk estimation methods based on 'value at risk'.
Economics and mathematical methods
, 2016, 52 (4), 74-93.
The article analyzes application of different Value at Risk methods (VaR) for market risk estimation in conditions of the Russian economy. The author has analyzed time series, which demonstrates the dynamics of daily logarithmic returns of the mutual fund, allocating funds in stocks of Russian leading companies for the years 2000-2014 - tested the hypothesis of normal distribution of logarithmic returns of the mutual funds. In some periods (for example, 2000 and 2002 years) the series of logarithmic returns well approximated by a normal distribution function, but in case of testing data on the whole of period the hypothesis of the normal distribution should be rejected. For estimation VaR are considered: delta-normal method (and its variations), historical simulation method, and hybrid Hull and White method. Examination of VaR methods accuracy and methods comparison is made by verifying methods based on historical data, tests includes the method of the Basel Committee, the Kupiec test, Christoffersen test, the loss function method. It examines: number of excesses, which VaR method shows (events, when the absolute value of the loss exceeds the VaR), the independence of the excess events from each other, as well as the average exceedance of the actual loss over VaR. Delta-normal method shows unstable results in the non-stationary conditions of the Russian economy. Historical simulation method and the Hull and White method show good stable results during the whole time interval under testing by the Basel Committee method and the Kupiec test (number of excesses). All VaR methods have property of clustering of the excess events (Christoffersen test shows negative results). The Hull and White method shows the lowest average exceedance of the actual loss over VaR, this method by comparison with other methods is most accurate.
Keywords: risk, asset value, economic losses, capital charge for market risk, value at risk, quantile of distribution function, programs.

It is offered to translate existing Gregorian and Julian 12-month's calendars simultaneously from the passive form in active (having fixed the beginning of year intercalary day transfer in the end of the year for December from February), and to make its absolutely exact, having entered a calendar constant a = 96,875/400 = 31/128 = 0,2421875 = µ = const = ÊÏ days instead of traditional accuracy a = 97/400 = 31,04/128 = 0,2425 days in a Gregorian calendar, and instead of accuracy a = 100/400 = 32/128 = 0,25 days, in Julian calendar that becomes only purely mathematical and does not result in any material inputs. Then both existing nowadays a calendar will cease to disperse among them and thus calendar church split 1582 between Catholic and Orthodox faiths will be liquidated. In the simplest case, it is possible to be limited to the existing passive form of a calendar, but with obligatory transition on absolutely exact a calendar constant. The author suggests these new ultraprecise absolutely coordinated mathematical Christian calendars to name Franciscan Catholic and Kirillian Orthodox. The author has resulted all the main (cores) 13 calendar systems of modern mankind to uniform (purely mathematical global or universal) a digital reference Exchange Active (Astronavigating) Calendar (Quantum) Matrix (EACM) which can become eternal uniform Abrahamic or a Universal calendar of mankind [uniform (global or universal) digital reference Exchange Activ (Astronavigating) Calendar (Quantum) Matrix (EACM)].
Keywords: uniform time of Space civilization, Kirillian calendar, Franciscan calendar, partial 12-months and full 13-months, quarter constant, main quantum condition.
