Aim. Analysis of the effectiveness of monetary policy controlling inflation under conditions of simultaneous demand and supply shocks.

Methodology. The most conventional linear representations of New Keynesian models (AD-AS and IS-LM-PC), bibliographic and qualitative methods of analysis are used.

Results. Under conditions of simultaneous demand and supply shocks, an effective monetary policy aimed at controlling inflation is achieved by a one-time, timely increase in the key rate, as well as by establishing an achievable inflation target, macro and micro prudential restrictions, tightening mandatory liquidity and capital ratios, and increasing the mandatory reserve ratio. At the same time, the key rate raise should have an upper limit and not lead to the accumulation of credit risk in the system.

Research implications. This paper contributes to the scientific literature on the analysis of monetary policy implemented by central banks. The practical significance of the paper is expressed in recommendations addressing to increase the effectiveness of monetary policy in controlling inflation and inflation expectations.

Aim. To carry out an economic and statistical analysis of the factors influencing the formation and use of the region’s labor potential in order to identify the general trend in the development of this indicator and its impact on the sustainable and dynamic development of the regional economy.

Methodology. During the research, the following scientific methods were used: dialectical – in assessing the formation of labor potential); economic and statistical – in determining the dynamics and trends of labor development; monographic – in studying the theoretical foundations and determining the actual level of labor availability.

Results. The study discusses approaches to the interpretation of the definitions of “human capital”, “human resources” and “labor potential”. The factors that have a direct impact on the formation and use of labor resources in the Russian economy in general and the Kurgan region in particular are considered. The relationship between the change in the number of economically active population and the state of the region’s economy is shown, and trends in the development of labor potential are identified.

Research implications lies in the choice of the research subject, by which the authors understand the labor potential of the subject of the Russian Federation, which is formed in certain socio-economic and historical conditions. Based on the analysis, trends in the socio–economic development of the Kurgan region have been identified and the interdependence of the region’s development and the state of its labor potential has been argued. The field of application of the research results is the sphere of regional management.

Methodology. Include a set of approaches that allow a comprehensive assessment of the impact of innovation activities on the technological development of industrial enterprises. The main research methods are analytical review and comparative analysis, modeling and scenario forecasting. The use of these methods in combination allows us to get a complete picture of the impact.

Results. The study of the impact of innovation activities on the technological development of industrial enterprises helps to identify key areas for improving competitiveness, sustainability and adaptation to modern challenges, the formation of effective and innovative business practices that meet the requirements of the time.

Research implications. It is shown that in the current conditions of the global economy, characterized by high competitiveness and continuous changes, innovative processes become key factors for successful development, affecting production processes, product quality, and competitiveness. The presented results are based on the analysis of existing research and practical examples from various industries.

Aim. In this economic study, the authors examine the correlation between labor migration processes and indicators of tourist demand, which have undergone changes under the influence of the pandemic, based on previous periods and predicting future trends in the tourism industry.

Methodology. In their study, the authors used an intersectoral approach in unrelated industries as the main method, which can reveal hidden factors that influence the regulation of labor migration.

Results. The study revealed that labor and tourism flows, although they may seem different, are closely interconnected and can influence each other. The main difference lies in the purpose of the movement: labor flows are driven by job search and worker mobility, while tourism flows are related to leisure, recreation, or business travel. However, tourism flows can stimulate labor migration, and employment in a region can attract tourists.

Research implications. The study proposes the use of econometric models of tourist demand to determine additional labor flows and their application in improving the digital mechanism for regulating labor migration. In the sectoral aspect, the search for a target category of labor resources in industrial and environmental tourism can be considered.

Aim. Assessment of the development of higher educational institutions in the context of digital transformation.

Methodology. In the study a modern scientific toolkit for a comprehensive analysis of the reports of regional education committees, specialized departments and institutions was used. All this makes it possible to ensure the validity of the conclusions made and lead to socially significant changes.

Results. Proposals for improving the process of digitalization of education in Russia are justified. In the context of considering universities as knowledge corporations, the article presents improved methods for enhancing innovation using the resources of digital platforms.

Research implications lies in the discovery of modern technological innovations that can transform higher education, turning it from a traditional academic center into a unique educational scientific innovation complex. 

Aim. To study the stages of insurance premium reforms in Russia and determine their role in the implementation of socially significant functions of off-budget funds.

Methodology. Based on the reporting data of the Federal Tax Service of Russia, an analysis of the reforms of insurance contributions, income and expenses of social extra-budgetary funds was conducted. To write this topic, the author used modern methods of scientific research such as analytical, statistical, methods of grouping, graphical and tabular presentation of data, which allowed achieving the goal.

Results. The problem of insurance premiums, which cannot fully provide social extra-budgetary funds with their financial resources, is outlined. The ill-considered and unjustified decision of legislators to reduce the rates of the single social tax (UST) from 35,6 to 26,0% by 9,6% led to an imbalance in the Pension Fund budget. As a result, the Pension Fund deficit did not decrease, but on the contrary increased from 94 to 400 billion rubles. A significant share in social extrabudgetary funds is occupied by inter-budget transfers, which are allocated from the federal budget and budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

Research implications is the need to unite two off-budget funds in the creation of a single Social Fund to reduce the administrative costs of these funds. As a result, it was revealed that the main items of expenditure today are expenses on pensions and social security, expenses on the protection of family and childhood.

Aim. Analysis of the organizational foundations of the work of the filling stations and identification of factors that contribute to their effectiveness in the context of modern challenges.

Methodology. The research procedure includes an analysis of current trends in consumer behavior, the use of digital technologies and environmentally friendly fuels, as well as a study of the strategies of large companies in the Russian market. Methods include qualitative and quantitative analysis of competitive environment data, consumer surveys and monitoring of market trends.

Results. Successful adaptation of petrol stations requires the introduction of digital services, expansion of the range of environmentally friendly fuels and additional services.
