We study variation in returns to five groups of majors — pedagogic, engineering, law or economics, humanities and medicine — in terms of wage and employment stability based on The Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey. We find a significant variation in returns to majors with the highest...

This paper considers the school-to-work transition and discusses its distinctive features in the Russian economy. Using RLMS data covering 1995-2003 years we estimate which factors and to what extent affect the transition. We also examine effects of regional unemploymentand wages, sharing work...

The monograph is devoted to use of distributed and parallel calculations in MATLAB interface. The technology is approved on standard problems of linear algebra. The industrial approach for identification of mathematical models of difficult systems on the basis of MATLAB parallel technics is...

An introduction to interval analysis of distributions, as a new direction of interval analysis, is presented, including illustrated examples. New formulas and additional restrictions for intervals of moments, including mean value, are obtained. Among them are Novoselov formulas for moments and...

This paper presents an overview of some general concepts and techniques of an adequacy estimation of simulation models of the banking business processes. A proposal on specific requirements for computer simulation models to banking activity re-engineering and optimization is formulated.

The paper deals with the role of the isomorphism and homomorphism in the theory and practice of simulation. These concepts are considered as a methodological framework for models adequacy evaluation and for their suitability extent estimation to the study and improvement of economic systems,...

The paper reviews some concepts of structural-morphological analysis and its application to the formal description of banking institutions activity. This research develops the synthetic approach based upon ideas of system dynamics, elements of structural linguistics, and Propp's morphological...

Independent self-organizing small and medium-sized entrepreneurship (SMB) is usually considered to be the most important sector of the modern economy, evolving in according to market conditions and stimulating the economy to progress. But in recent years, works have appeared that criticize the...

Parallel calculations on modern multiprocessing technics open new opportunities in application of mathematical models for research ekonomy of region. Use of normative models was limited to complexity of their identification due to a lot of unknown parameters. In work the technique of...

The second part of the article continues studying the structure of a set of variables. It consists of two pieces: (1) de-scription of a modification of Dempster covariance selection algorithm based on its combination with that of tree dependence structures construction, simulation results,...
