The article discusses the problems of implementation of strategic plans for development of industry, in particular, the State Program "Development of the industry and increase its competitiveness," emerged in the economy at the beginning of 2014 as a result of foreign policy events. Home of the problems - is a possible reduction in the size of government funding critical to the country's state program, which in non-realization of schedule may extend the technological backwardness of Russian industry to the world level. In order to evaluate the possible consequences of this situation for the economy, the article suggests a model tool that allows to evaluate these effects, both on the macro economy, and the sheer size of the public funding of the state program. In particular, modeling tools allowed us to determine the threshold level of underfunding, the excess of which will lead to the practical impossibility of the state program in the given parameters. Modeling tools based on two concepts - analysis "cost-benefit" analysis and influence, and is based on the unit of production functions. All calculations are made for the subroutine "Chemical industry" government program. Selecting this subroutine was based on the importance of the chemical complex as a key component of the process of economic development. The article describes in detail the results of the model calculations.

The paper examines the ambiguous contextual manifestations that accompany the process of formation of Russian entrepreneurial community. The work presents the research results of the specifics of these manifestations derived based on the analysis of various materials from Russian official, scientific and sociopolitical as well as international sources. "Attitude towards entrepreneurship" is regarded as the most important sociocultural component of the development of the entrepreneurship as a social practice. The identified economic and political as well as sociocultural trends that accompany the formation of the modern Russian entrepreneurship reflect the incompleteness stage of the market reforms in Russia. The creation of the modern ethical basis of the development of the entrepreneurship and its interaction with the society is assumed as one of the ways to accelerate these reforms. The outcome of the present interdisciplinary work – which is in its own way “a view from the outside” – in the author’s opinion, indicates the equivalence of sociocultural and economic and political range of problems for the modern stage of development of the entrepreneurship in Russia.

Modern economics has developed a number of areas of human resource management system. However, in domestic and foreign economic literature is a not sufficient mechanism of logistic approach to human resources in different fields (sectors) of the economy. In this research, firstly, the economic aspects of logistics in the formation, using and management of human resources are considered, and secondly, the algorithm of solving the problems of human resource management from the position of logistics approach, third, the strategic objectives of the logistics workforce are highlighted, fourth, the possible outcomes of the decision of tasks of logistics are given. The research found that with a rules-based logistics it is possible to effectively form basic stability part of the country's workforce, optimally distribute them in the areas of economic activity and use them rationally with minimal cost and high impact. The results of the investigation develop knowledge in the methodology of systematic human resource management.

The rapid sophistication of the Russian financial system inevitably leads not only to the emergence of great opportunities for the development of the financial sector, as expressed in the opening of the new financial institutions or new financial products and services, but also a huge financial risks for companies of this sector, as expressed in the increase of population’s debts and the decline of trust in the financial sector. That is why special tools used in making management decisions about the development of the financial sector in a particular region acquires greater significance. On the basis of statistical data over the Volgograd region the author developed the model of initial attractiveness estimation of an area for business entities, reflecting the level of financial literacy and using the data from open sources of information. The article provides a brief introduction to the development of the methodology: from a theoretical substantiation of the original list of variables for analysis up to determine the regression equation. Obtained regression model can be used by entrepreneurs in case of expansion of their financial business to new areas and by regional governance whose aim is to increase the level of financial literacy.

The present stage of management of territorial development, characterized as «strategic openness», actualized need to create sustainable sources and mechanisms of formation of competitive advantages of regions, renewed interest to evaluation of the competitiveness of a regional economy.

In the present study,

firstly, formulated author's definition of regional competitiveness, based on the concept of its «attractiveness» for business development and people's lives;

secondly, suggested the approach and the algorithm for measurement and comparative analysis of the competitiveness of the regional economy that based on quantitative evaluation of the various aspects of «attractiveness»;

third, the authors develop basic elements of the modeling and methodical support for quantitative assessing the competitiveness of regional economies, including identified and described statistically reliable indicators of five competitively important factors (the level of economic potential of a region and the efficiency of its use, the attractiveness of a region for the population and for business, the level of innovation in the economy of a region), that allow qualitatively and quantitatively measure the «attractiveness» are sufficiently;

fourth, was the comparative analysis of the results of a quantitative evaluation of the competitiveness on these factors in the five regions of the Siberian Federal District for the period of 2000-2012 years (Kemerovo oblast, Novosibirsk oblast, Tomsk oblast, Krasnoyarsk krai, Altai krai).

Research has shown that developed assessment algorithm of regional competitiveness can not only fix competitive advantages and ratings at a specific time, but also monitor the dynamics of competitively important factors in the region. The obtained evaluations of competitiveness are the basis for recommendations about changing the drivers of growth in the region and the reconstruction of models of its regional development.

Decision-making should be based on the most comprehensive knowledge of the current situation. There is a significant imbalance in the different government levels (federal, regional and municipal) information provision in Russia nowadays. The primary aim of the investigation is to identify and describe the main practical methods of getting information about the municipality by local authorities (which are important due to the existence of legal restrictions of such activity) and to reveal its advantages and disadvantages, to determine the basic factors that generate information asymmetry. Conducted field research has provided the results which allow us to develop the proposals of improving the quality of statistical data and enhancing the informational and statistical basis of local self-government. It is suggested to strengthen the role of municipal and departmental statistical data in the official statistics formation and to implement the practices of intra- and interdepartmental information exchange.

The article discusses the construction of tables of distribution of goods and services in the Republic of Tajikistan for 2010.

It also describes the principle differences between historical school’s representatives and those of classical economics; analyzes how different authors understand the notions of the scientific program and paradigm of the historical school; the specifics of the studies of this research area and concludes that it is not worth confusing such studies with historical or economical ones as they could be done within the framework of the alternative approaches. The paper presents the achievements of historical school, which are universally recognized or/and widely applied by the different branches of science and new arguments in favor of the continuity and mutual influence of historical school, Marxism, and old American institutionalism.

In the modern period of the development of statehood in Russia the significant increase of attention is attributed to the issue of effectiveness of state power and government not only on the federal and regional levels, but on the local level as well. In 2009 there was developed and implemented the system of indicators of the effectiveness’ estimates of the activity of local self-government.  The system of effectiveness’ estimates included sociological indices of satisfaction of population. Implementation of sociological indices in the system of effectiveness’ estimates of the activity of local self-government brought positive responses from academic community, politicians, managers, and the public. In the article the   analysis of influence of cognitive factor (being kept informed) on the level of social contentment of the activity of local self-government’ bodies is done.  We do this, based on the results of sociological studies of the major Russian research organizations and data from the aggregate reports, which deal with the monitoring of effectiveness of local self-government of some subjects in the Central federal district of Russia.
