The article shows that as recipients of this service, Far East residents are limited in their ability to manage the volumes of their consumption. By considering individual Far East regions and cities, we estimate the ability of the population to pay for heat supply services. Despite the regulation of heat tariffs, the burden on Far East residents remains higher than in the rest of country due to higher regional rates and consumption volumes. As the new method of the so-called “alternative boiler plant” is put into effect, a new regulated heat tariff will be introduced in the Far East, which will result in an increase in payments by 1.7–3.1 times. This will inevitably raise the debt risk of enterprises and require the government to spend more money on social welfare support.","PeriodicalId":85345,"journal":{"name":"Problems of economic transition","volume":"63 1","pages":"287 - 298"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44913863","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 offer an analysis of various types of competition in the thermal energy market and describe the effects that can be achieved when they are implemented. Based on the example of Russia’s large district heating systems, we show the negative consequences resulting from the introduction of the “alternative boiler plant” method, which is a new target model for the Russian thermal energy market.","PeriodicalId":85345,"journal":{"name":"Problems of economic transition","volume":"63 1","pages":"277 - 286"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48096745","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}

Unlike unemployment, discouragement accounts for those people who are not searching for paying jobs due to a variety of causes such as disillusionment with their job prospects, low education, and family obligations (e.g., child care). This article considers the causes and consequences of discouragement in Russia and its relation to both individual people and society as a whole. After identifying several causes of discouragement (e.g., improved quality of life, poor work ethic, and income inequality) and considering its negative impact on society (e.g., reduced economic development, lower quality of life), this article proposes that discouragement can be reduced by raising wages, improving working conditions, and developing special work and education programs for young people.","PeriodicalId":85345,"journal":{"name":"Problems of economic transition","volume":"63 1","pages":"203 - 211"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42954104","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 article describes the current state of scientific higher education in Russia, identifies several salient functions of the education system (e.g., awarding degrees, providing scholarships, forming dissertation councils), and considers how these functions can be performed with greater efficiency in order to improve higher education and science. To increase the efficiency of graduate programs in Russia, the Higher Education Commission should be allowed to propose priority areas of scientific research, to assess Russia’s demand for scientists, and to influence scientific education according to the identified priorities. The network of postgraduate and doctoral programs, as well as the formation of dissertation councils, should be revised at the legislative level to better utilize existing resources and direct scientific progress. In addition, it is necessary to improve the public administration of science, to restructure the network of postgraduate and doctoral programs, and to provide government funds for the training of scientific personnel that are demanded by the scientific labor market.","PeriodicalId":85345,"journal":{"name":"Problems of economic transition","volume":"63 1","pages":"189 - 202"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43363419","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}

Based on a system of social standards, the author considers the differentiation of the populations’ standard and quality of life in 2012–2016. The dynamics of the monetary incomes of the population are analyzed and certain features are highlighted. An increase in per-capita income is described against the background of a slight decrease in the degree of differentiation by income and a high degree of heterogeneity regarding the population’s well-being. These features of income generation are underpinned by low wages among certain types of employees and by significant unemployment among the population. It is concluded that a regional stimulus policy should be adopted to support the kind of economic development that will reduce the income gap of various population groups in the region.","PeriodicalId":85345,"journal":{"name":"Problems of economic transition","volume":"63 1","pages":"93 - 101"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46331435","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}

Research was conducted in three areas: the budget capacity of the social spheres; the standard of living and incomes of employees working in socially significant areas; and the social orientation of municipal budgets in the Russian Arctic. The author’s method of assessing the participation of the state in the life of the population made it possible to formulate a number of proposals for improving the social spheres of the urban districts of the Russian Arctic. The study shows that education and health care have declined in the urban districts of the Russian Arctic, due to lower budgetary spending and a slowdown in the growth of wages. It is concluded that socially significant industries must be further developed using both budgetary and extrabudgetary resources, which could be procured through public–private partnerships.","PeriodicalId":85345,"journal":{"name":"Problems of economic transition","volume":"63 1","pages":"161 - 173"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47459075","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 author describes five major problems facing the Russian academic community: lack of funding, over-bureaucratization, dishonesty and plagiarism, commercialization, and the fear and uncertainty that currently permeate Russian academia.

According to the Romer–Lucas model, increasing knowledge and improving the quality of human capital are key conditions for the long-term development of territories; therefore, the state of health care and education is one of the most important factors in solving the geopolitical problems of eastern Russian. Research has shown that at least in the public sector the recent reform of the social services has failed to improve the individual wealth of workers or to increase the availability of education and health care services. This is equally true for the border regions, where the new measures caused institutional transformations, and for the Baikal region, which was “not covered” by these measures. The results of the study confirmed the thesis that in the regional policy of the East, it is important to emphasize the quality rather than quantity of investment—the extent to which it improves the basic conditions determining the citizens’ quality of life.","PeriodicalId":85345,"journal":{"name":"Problems of economic transition","volume":"63 1","pages":"133 - 146"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46772764","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 apply a modified version of the gravity model, according to which migration flows are directed toward megacities (gravity centers). First, our model incorporates the cost of human migration (associated with lower returns on human capital due to the growing cost of living in megacities), and second, it incorporates the elasticity coefficient, which is influenced by the quality of regional government. Several hypothesized correlations are tested: between investment in fixed assets and regional human capital; between migration and human capital; between migration and the presence of megacities in a region; and between migration and investment in human capital. We estimate how much revenue is lost because of the current regional structure of the economy and conclude that regional structural changes in the Russian economy are inevitable.","PeriodicalId":85345,"journal":{"name":"Problems of economic transition","volume":"63 1","pages":"257 - 275"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44944446","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}
