Regional trade integration in the CIS area
AbstractThe article covers main stages of integration processes in the CIS area since its formation. We analyzed the specifics of preferential trade agreements (PTAs) in the CIS. We prepared an exhaustive list of expired and currently effective PTAs in the CIS area, taking into account the initial levels of exemptions and the dynamics of their cancellations. We analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively the economic aspects of PTAs. We discussed further integration agenda of the Russian Federation and a role of PTAs as a tool of international economic integration.
In the short term, Russia will have low investment ac vity both on the part of foreign and domes c investors due to the low quality of the ins tu onal environment and high risks. Analysis of various indices movement demonstrates that so far there are no precondi ons for wide scale private investment in Russia. Safeguarding of the total inviolability of property rights represents major precondi on for the improvement of the investment climate in Russia. This basic for the civilized socie es in the 21 st century condi on would have improved the investment climate in the country and would have put Russia on the path of long-term economic growth. The macroeconomic situa on in the Russian Federa on con nues to deteriorate. At end-2015, the index of industrial produc on in Russia fell by 3.4% in comparison with the corresponding period of 2014 1.

Analysis of the breakdown of investment in fi xed assets across the sources of fi nancing shows that at end-2015, budget investment in the nominal terms decreased by 3.5% and own and borrowed funds declined by 1.0% in comparison with the same period of 2014 3.

At present, Russian experts are discussing the ways of improving the investment climate and the state of the economy as a whole. For
Статья посвящена анализу влияния условий торговли на уровень заработных плат в Российской Федерации в 2000-х годах. Авторами показано, что улучшение условий торговли в начале-середине 2000-х годов привело и к значимому росту заработных плат, и к увеличению неравенства. Рассматривая текущую экономическую ситуацию, авторы приходят к выводу, что, несмотря на ухудшение условий торговли в 2014-2015 годах, ожидать снижения неравенства в заработных платах вряд ли стоит. Основная причина – в асимметричном влиянии условий торговли.
