This currency is now performing the functions of investment, storage and accumulation rather than solely the function of measuring the value of goods and services. Thus, the virtual digital currency has come to implement all basic functions of paper money.The purpose of the paperwas to put forward the thesis of the feasibility of introduction in Russia of a new virtual national digital currency operating on the basis of the blockchain technology, which will significantly revitalize the domestic economy. The paper provides the definition of the virtual digital currency and its types, discusses its advantages and disadvantages, gives a brief overview of the experience of using this currency in Russia and abroad, shows the current state of cost capitalization of the virtual digital currency and describes the legal framework for the virtual digital currency application. The paperconcludesthat rather than forbidding the crypto currency, there are all the reasons to arrange the issue and circulation of an officially accepted type of a virtual national digital currency that would give a powerful impetus to the development of all spheres of the country’s economy. Special attention is paid to the mechanism of the national digital currency operation with the government participation. Every citizen will be able to get a salary in a few seconds, buy everything he wants, invest in any project. Records of transactions in the user’s personal digital electronic purse will completely relieve him of paperwork. It is important to note that blockchain protocols do not allow transaction canceling or compulsory change of ledger entries. This means that all transactions will become safe and anonymous, and anonymity cannot be violated if only by illegal operations. This will suit all law-abiding citizens of the country. The advantages of the national digital currency will ensure its wide circulation in the country and lead to significant shrinking of the “gray” and “dark” cryptocurrency markets and revival of the domestic economy.","PeriodicalId":143414,"journal":{"name":"Economics, taxes & law","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134404579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective factors include those affecting cash flows, payments, settlements and the financial system of the country as a whole — various force majeure circumstances, financial crises, sharp changes in the national currency exchange rate, tightening of the law to the extent of absolute transaction embargo, imposition of sanctions on bank accounts, settlements, individual financial institutions, etc. Subjective factors include liquidity, reliability, universality, confidentiality, cyber resistance, anonymity and alike. These factors determine the list of measures aimed at ensuring economic security in the field of electronic money circulation within the EAEU. The economic security in this area is achieved through the development of action plans for each stage of activity.

The importance of the budgetary policy for the sustainable economic development is determined by the following factors: first, at the macroeconomic level it helps to achieve macroeconomic stability (a necessary condition for economic growth); second, at the microlevel it stimulates investment, accumulation of human capital and the increase in factor productivity. The state influences the economic growth rates and quality through productive expenditures as one of the most important components of aggregate demand.The subject of the researchis the impact of productive government expenditures on the economic growth rates in the Russian Federation at the stages of crisis and post-crisis development of the national economy (2008–2016).The purpose of the researchwas to assess the budgetary policy of the Russian Federation in the context of boosting the economic growth and to develop proposals to increase its efficiency. The paper examines the existing theoretical approaches to assessment of the impact of government expenditures on the economic development. The authors also used statistical data to measure the interrelationship between budgetary investments in science, basic and human capital and the GDP volumes. The authors formulated recommendations on improving the efficiency of the Russian budgetary policy, in particular: identifying priorities for budget fund expenditures; changing the existing structure of government spending; expanding the scope of the public-private partnership to promote investment and innovation activities. The paperconcludesthat the lack of medium- and long-term reserves for increasing government expenditures necessitates the change in the structure of government spending through reducing overheads and increasing production costs with the purpose of ensuring sustainable economic growth.","PeriodicalId":143414,"journal":{"name":"Economics, taxes & law","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123014494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The subject of the research is the impact of financialization (expansion of the financial sector influence) and heterogeneity of investment decisions made by households and organizations on the inequality of income and wealth distribution as well as on household consumption and investment demand generated by organizations. The purpose of the research was to simulate the integrated influence and inter- influence of financialization of the economy leading to the following phenomena: an increase in the financial capabilities of economic agents, households and organizations and an increase in their debt; heterogeneity of decisions made by households (with account for different education levels) towards investment in their professional skill improvement, in particular through bank loans; heterogeneity of decisions made by organizations towards investment in expanding the existing production or mastering innovative product manufacturing; inequality in distribution of household incomes, components of aggregate demand in the economy, unemployment, etc. The research was carried out using an agent-oriented AB-SFC model with consistent flows and reserves that takes into account the specifics of investment behavior of economic agents (households and companies). The paper concludes that the financialization can contribute to the economic growth and the leverage and, accordingly, to the debt of economic agents and a higher volatility of macroeconomic aggregates such as aggregate demand components. The research finding also show that innovation and technological changes resulting from investment preferences of organizations and households can also, along with the financialization, aggravate the income inequality of households.","PeriodicalId":143414,"journal":{"name":"Economics, taxes & law","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114562510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
