Model for integrating monetary and fiscal policies to stimulate economic growth and sustainable debt dynamics

This article examines the main integration trends of the state's monetary and fiscal policy in influencing economic growth and maintaining the sustainability of public debt. It is argued that the relationship between these trends of macroeconomic regulation is predetermined, on the one hand, by the potentially negative impact of fiscal expansion from the point of view of inflation, and by the negative impact of a likely state default in failing to refinance the debt from the Ministry of Finance, on the other hand. The paper studies the selected array of statistical data using the fiscal policy multipliers concept, the relationship between the effect of increase/decrease in budget expenditures, the slowdown in economic activity and the efforts by the Central Bank to offset fiscal measures, on the one hand, and the ratio of an increase/decrease in budget revenues and debt expenditures used to finance the budget investments, on the other hand. It is revealed that the investments are effective if implementing budget expenditures in the presence of the GDP gap and unrealized expectations of economic agents, while reducing spending in such a situation will intensify the recession. The GDP growth determined by these investments should provide the tax effect sufficient to cover the expenses. Otherwise, there can be negative effects of debt that establishes the need for measures to refinance public debt by the Central Bank. The conclusions of the paper can be used to assess the possible integration of monetary and fiscal policy based on various states.peer-reviewe

The country's economic growth models and the potential for budgetary, monetary and private financing of gross domestic product growth

This article examines the financing of GDP growth within the framework of catch-up, evolutionary and dynamic models of economic development. Methods/statistical analysis: using the principles of the Solow model and the Cobb-Douglas function, an analysis of the nature of the models has been carried out, considering the processes of capital accumulation, the rate of growth of the workforce, and various aggregate factor productivities. With the help of historical logic and statistical evaluation, examples of countries relating to each of the models examined are reviewed. Based on the analysis, the main ways of financing economic growth are noted: both the state ones, due to budgetary and monetary policy measures, and private ones. It has been proven that with the transition from catch-up to an evolutionary or dynamic model, the role of the state as a centralizing force is diminishing. At the same time, the specificity of a dynamic model is due to the country's objective ability to be among the technological leaders, which is predetermined by the high values of current GDP, per capita GDP, and population size. Countries with an evolutionary model of development are constrained in their ability to maintain a comparable pace of development only within separate "growth points". The main result of the work is the assessment of Russia's potential from the viewpoint of one of the models considered, based on a comparative analysis of several capital indicators, as well as a logical analysis of data on the level of GDP and population with other countries. This makes it possible to make recommendations for financing the country's GDP growth in the medium to long term. Scope/Improvements: The findings can be used in the development of Russia's financial and economic strategy up to 2030.peer-reviewe

ОСНОВНЫЕ ЭТАПЫ РАЗВИТИЯ ТЕОРИИ ДИФФУЗИИ ИННОВАЦИЙ

Abstract: Main innovation diffusion development theory stages are: Rogers model of moving new products to the market including characteristics of its segments; mathematic substantiation of this model by Bass; Moor model taking into account gaps between adjacent market segments; Goldenberg model making it possible to predict sales drops at new product life cycle initial stages. It is reasonable to use this theory while moving innovative products to the market.Основные этапы развития теории диффузии инноваций: модель Роджерса (распространение нового продукта на рынок) с характеристикой её сегментов; математическое обоснование этой модели Бассом; модель Мура, учитывающая влияние разрывов между смежными сегментами рынка; модель Голденберга, позволяющая прогнозировать величину спада в продажах на начальном этапе жизненного цикла нового продукта. Теорию целесообразно применять при продвижении инновационного продукта на рынок

Work Engagement and Burnout Prevention through the Intervention of Learning Java Programming Skills to Blue-Color Professionals

The research features Java programming skills interventions introduced to an experimental group of shop assistants in Russia (years 2020-2021) as a part of the work engagement enhancement framework. The interventions’ cycle included 4 weeks, featuring videos describing Java basics. The results are promising since the participants reported brief manageable stresses, the development of positive social bonds, the enhancement of perceived social support, and the engagement in help-seeking behaviors. The rate of work engagement was measured according to Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. The results were validated with the statistical method of Rosenbaum Q criteria. The proposed interventions outline focuses on seven areas: 1) the attitude of society to learning interventions featuring an unknown subject field; 2) the formation of the learning environment; 3) psychological diversity of participants; 4) work engagement; 5) planning and evaluation of results; 6) social relationships; 7) personal growth and professional development. It is a common belief that a smaller workload, shorter working hours, or bigger financial rewards can solve burnout problems and increase work engagement. We propose a different approach which is a careful intervention of new studying programs as a work engagement enhancement strategy, as well as an anti-burnout method. © 2021

Spectrometric method to detect exoplanets as another test to verify the invariance of the velocity of light

Hypothetical influences of variability of light velocity due to the parameters of the source of radiation, for the results of spectral measurements of stars to search for exoplanets are considered. Accounting accelerations of stars relative to the barycenter of the star - a planet (the planets) was carried out. The dependence of the velocity of light from the barycentric radial velocity and barycentric radial acceleration component of the star should lead to a substantial increase (up to degree of magnitude) semi-major axes of orbits detected candidate to extrasolar planets. Consequently, the correct comparison of the results of spectral method with results of other well-known modern methods of detecting extrasolar planets can regard the results obtained in this paper as a reliable test for testing the invariance of the velocity of light.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figure
