One of the most important aims of monetary policy of the Bank of Russia is to reduce CPI inflation under simultaneous stabilization of ruble exchange rate to the major world currencies. While such task setting is obviously contradictory and requires usage of additional instrument, it is unclear...

In an important model of growth and pollution proposed by Stokey [Int. Econ. Rev. 39 (1998) 1] neither the rate of economic growth nor the rate of growth of emissions depends on the time preference of the representative agent, which seems somewhat paradoxical. To resolve this paradox, we...

In the paper, we propose a spectral approach to estimation of the long-memory effect in time series and its practical application for oil prices analysis. (in Russian)

The present study analysed monetary policy transmission mechanisms in Russia in the period of July 1995-September 2004. Bank of Russia officially implements inflation targeting and in its "General foundations of monetary policy" declares monetary base and monetary aggregate M2 as its operational...

We develop two models of economic growth with exhaustible natural resources and consumers heterogeneous in time preferences. The first model assumes private ownership of natural resources. In the second model, natural resources are commonly owned and the resource extraction rate is chosen by...

An axiomatic approach is developed to define the ”proportional excess” on the space of positively generated NTU games. This excess generalizes to NTU games the proportional TU excess v(S)/x(S). Five axioms are proposed, and it is shown that the proportional excess, which possess Kalai’s...

We introduce a two-classes one-good overlapping generations model of economic growth with bequests. The difference between capitalists and workers is that the firsts have larger discount coefficient and/or higher return to savings. For the model proposed, we define a balanced growth equilibrium...

This paper is following lectures given in 2010 at the Department of Economics of the European University at St. Petersburg in frameworks of the course Socio-economic statistics (module Natural resource statistics). (in Russian)

An AK-model of economic growth is considered based upon a supposition that there are several agents in an economy, which have initially different wealth. Saving rate of each agent depends on her wealth. Main attention is given to asymptotic behavior of equilibrium paths. (in Russian)

We analyze equilibrium paths in two models of overlapping generations with reciprocal altruism. The first one allows us to consider a case of different propensity to of consumer to support her children and parents (non-symmetrical altruism). In this model, an equilibrium is a Nash equilibrium....
