Comparing with European countries, the sports industry of Russia should be recognized as emerging. The burden of financing professional sports clubs has not shifted to private investors and remains with regional budgets or state-owned companies. These funds are spent mainly on salaries of players (often legionnaires) and agents’ fees. Not earningon core business: media rights & match day, clubs lose their main part of earnings when the sponsor leaves, and are liquidated. The most popular sport in Russia (based on the number of people involved), and, consequently, the most promising from a commercial perspective, is football. Based on this, the aim of this research is to develop recommendations for improving the financial stability of football clubs as part of the licensing procedure. The current edition of the licensing rules for football clubs in England, Germany, France, Poland, Lithuania, Norway, Sweden and the scientific publications of domestic and foreign scientists dedicated to this issue acted as an analytical base. The paper provides a detailed analysis of the current level of football development in the Russian Federation, provides the main indicators characterizing its effectiveness, identifies problems and difficulties that impede positive dynamics. Based on this analysis and best European practices, the author proposed measures that will help to solve existing problems, attract private investors and increase the efficiency of spending budget funds. The proposed methods can be implemented in other team sports and accelerate development in terms of commercial potential, sports and social results.","PeriodicalId":37657,"journal":{"name":"HSE Economic Journal","volume":"33 1","pages":"117-145"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76882935","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}
{"title":"Older Workers in the OECD Labour Market","authors":"N. Vishnevskaya","doi":"10.17323/978-5-7598-2167-0","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17323/978-5-7598-2167-0","url":null,"abstract":"In OECD countries, as a result of demographic changes that lead to slowdown in the growth of economically active population, the use of labour potential of older workers, including pensioners, is becoming increasingly urgent. The importance of this problem increases with the enlargement of this group in the total population. This article aims to analyze the dynamics and cross-country differences in the labour market situation of older workers in OECD countries, developed and transition. Particular attention is paid to the factors under which older workers’ participation in labour market is formed. The methodology of this work is based on institutional analysis of the labour market. The results of the study contribute to the understanding of the participation of certain groups of labour in employment. At the same time, this work is practically oriented, and its results can be used for formulating the population and labour market policy in the Russian Federation. We use the OECD Employment and Labor Market Statistics Database as the main source of statistical information. As results of the study, we state that in the OECD countries, since mid-1990s the older groups has significantly improved their position in the labour market, which is reflected in the growing level of economic activity and employment, lower, in comparison with other age cohorts, unemployment. Thus, the stable trend of the previous three decades was interrupted. At the same time there was a convergence of labour market indicators for male and female older age groups and convergence of official and effective retirement ages, including between gendergroups. Improvement of older workers employment is largely determined by their personal characteristics. Improving the health of elderly cohorts and lengthening the active period of life create conditions for longer working career. Structural changes in the branch and occupational composition of the employed also create favorable conditions for retaining and attracting older workers to the labour market. It would be wrong to link the \"successes\" of older workers in the labour market with the expansion of part-time employment – most of them work in full-time workplaces. The current policy of the OECD countries is mainly aimed at \"pushing away\" the employee's retirement age by legislative measures, including rising the retirement age. Still little is being done to create better employment conditions for these groups of labour, including retraining. Increasing the flexibility of the labour market could also contribute to a more active participation of older workers in the economic activity.","PeriodicalId":37657,"journal":{"name":"HSE Economic Journal","volume":"12 1","pages":"680-701"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86747033","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}

We provide granular description of the stylized facts that characterize five typical credit risk evolution scenarios. The two most unexpected findings are as follows. First, we verified the announced loss amounts by analysis of stock quotes dynamics around the loss announcement dates. Thus we were able to trace three cases where announced by mass media losses may seem to have been exaggerated. Second, there is a series of events when there was a disclosure combination of credit risk loss and operational one.
