This understanding allowed proposing a universal approach to assessing the success of PPP projects, based on the criteria assessment matrix developed by us, which takes into account the stages of the project life cycle and the interests of its stakeholders.Scientific novelty: the systematization of studies available in the Russian and world literature concerning the assessment of the success of both investment projects in general and PPP projects in particular allowed identifying a universal set of criteria for such an assessment. This, in turn, contributes to a more adequate and clear interpretation of the conclusions made by a wide range of authors of research in the field of PPP, who quite often refer to “successful” PPP projects, without giving their own understanding of the criteria for determining success.Practical significance: the developed criteria matrix for assessing the success of PPP projects can become a starting point for improving methodological approaches and normative-legal documents regulating the implementation of PPP projects at the federal and regional levels. Regional and municipal executive authorities planning the implementation of new PPP projects can use the proposed matrix for assessing the success of PPP projects in their work in order, on the one hand, to increase the investment attractiveness of the projects being developed, and on the other hand, to ensure better and objective control over their further implementation.","PeriodicalId":284471,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Economics and Law","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116965194","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 low demand for other types of support is due to the need to form incentives for the participation of economic entities in the Northern supply haul under low business margins. The difficulty lies in the need to integrate centralized and decentralized supply systems in the absence of an appropriate legal framework.Scientific novelty: for the first time, an assessment of the effectiveness of state support measures for the Northern supply haul was carried out to determine the directions for improving its legal mechanisms. The definition of the Northern supply haul and categorization of these areas by periods of transport communication are proposed. The improvement of legal regulation based on the development of a single law with the definition of the rules for stakeholders is proposed.Practical significance: the presented assessment of the legal mechanisms of the Northern supply haul management and the formation of proposals for their improvement can be useful for correcting the existing and developing a new approach to the development of a specialized regulatory legal framework at both the federal and regional levels.

Currently, this sphere faces either being ahead of the targets proposed by the state as part of the social policy implementation, or lagging behind them.Methods: the study uses a methodology of calculating the modified advance coefficient, which determines the growth rate of employees’ wages in comparison with the growth rate of the target indicator in the regions. The modified methodology also provides for accounting for the impact of horizontal unevenness on wages in science, which triggers the “middle income trap”. Due to this trap, measurements of the effectiveness of public policy in the studied area are not amenable to clear categorization. The coefficient implies taking into account the growth rate of wages of researchers, the growth rate of the target indicator and the weight of the region (which in turn reflects the formation of conditions for decent wages for all employees in the Russian Federation subject).Results: according to calculations based on Rosstat data for 2021, only one region showed an advanced growth rate of researchers’ salaries (Leningradskaya oblast). In the remaining 79 Russian Federation subjects, the growth rate of wages in science is lagging behind the growth rate of the target indicator (i.e., they have not used all the opportunities for the formation of decent earnings of researchers). The achievement of the target indicator (200% of the average wage of employees in the region) in these territories is due to the growth of salaries of a limited part of the staff.Scientific novelty: the study determined an algorithm for monitoring the advanced wage growth of researchers in the Russian regions and the principles of public policy (as a set of fundamental and institutional solutions) that will contribute to the formation of decent wages in Russian science.Practical significance: the main provisions and conclusions of the article can be used to form a system of state monitoring of wages in budgetary sectors, as well as to improve the “Science” national project.","PeriodicalId":284471,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Economics and Law","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128601895","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}

It is proved that the current state of the economy can be viewed as a global sanctions economy. The concept of the world sanctions economy is given and the features of the world sanctions economy are revealed: the contradiction between political goals and socio-economic ones; the rocketing energy prices; the noticeable increase in prices for all raw materials and foods; the sharp increase in the cost of products; the transition to the production of lower-quality analogues of common goods; the ideological connotation of the consumption of goods (works, services); the decrease in the living standards of the population; the increase in the requirements of the state to the society members; the reduction in investment; the redistribution of investments to the areas in need of import substitution; the temporary paralysis of interstate trade; the intensification of trade between physical persons.
