Horvai (World Bank) Thursday, April 11 10:00-11:30am Session A-09/1. Honorary paper by Maurizio Bussolo (World Room 311, М- Bank) “Toward a New Social Contract – Taking On 20 Distributional Tensions in Europe and Central Asia” ENG, Moderator: O. Demidova (HSE University) Simultaneous translation The Europe and Central Asia region stands out as the most equal region in the world. Of the 30 countries around the globe with the lowest Gini coefficient— a measure of income inequality whereby a lower coefficient corresponds to a more equal distribution—23 are in the region.1 Compared with other regions,

the countries in Europe and Central Asia redistribute income on a larger scale and have more extensive welfare systems, more progressive taxation, and more generous social protection. This reflects the strong preference of Europeans for egalitarian societies. Yet, people in Europe and Central Asia are dissatisfied with the status quo and, as in regions that exhibit greater inequality, demand changes.2 More people are either voting for populist parties that promise to get rid of current policies and establish a new social order, or they are not voting at all. Separatist movements are on the rise, while trust in political institutions is on the decline. The primary goal of this report is to analyze changes in the distribution of incomes and resources that, even if not fully reflected in changes of inequality among individuals and households, are affecting people’s security, aspirations, and sense of well-being and identity. When asked in opinion surveys, a large majority of people across all countries in the region expresses concerns about rising inequality. It is important to investigate the potential sources of these beliefs and views. The report emphasizes the relevance of distributional tensions among groups and of unfairness. These reflect the economic drivers of the rising discontent with the political and social order in the region. The clash between these distributional tensions and the preferences for equity is posing a serious challenge to the social contract in Europe and Central Asia. 10:00-11:30am Session A-09/2.

Global vs National Income Inequalities Room 328, М- Moderator: Marek Dabrowski (HSE University, CASE, Bruegel) 11 ENG, Issues for discussion: The last decade brought increasing attention to income Simultaneous and wealth inequalities in advanced economies because of their increase in translation several countries and negative social and political implications. However, this debate is often limited to the single-country perspective, disregarding global income inequalities trends, i.e. changes in inequalities between individuals in the entire world. The purpose of this roundtable is to confront global and national perspectives, analyze whether and how they are interlinked. Roundtable participants will present and discuss results of recent empirical 7

research related to various aspects of global, regional and national income inequalities and their various measurement. • Interrelations between global and national income inequalities; • What does drive changes in global inequality; • Measurement of inequality; • The room for national policies to decrease income and wealth inequalities in the globalized economy.

Kokovin (HSE University) Simultaneous translation We provide a bare–bones framework that uncovers the circumstances which lead either to the emergence of equally-spaced and equally-sized central places or to a hierarchy of central places. We show how these patterns reflect the preferences of agents and the efficiency of transportation and communication technologies. With one population of homogeneous individuals, the economy is characterized by a uniform distribution or by a periodic distribution of central places having the same size. The interaction between two distinct populations may give rise to a hierarchy of central places with one or several primate cities. 7:00-8:30pm Roundtable B-08A.

Thursday, April 11 10:00-11:30am Session C-09. Honorary paper by Panos M. Pardalos (University Room 424, М- of Florida, HSE University) “Sustainable Interdependent 11 Networks” ENG Moderator: V. Kalyagin (HSE University)

Sustainable interdependent networks offer a wide spectrum of applications in such areas as computer science, electrical engineering and smart infrastructure. We plan to discuss the next generation sustainability, as well as smart cities, with a special emphasis on energy, communication, data analytics and financial networks. In addition, we will be discussing solutions in regards to the performance and security challenges of developing interdependent networks in terms of networked control systems, scalable computation platforms, and dynamic social networks. 12:00-1:30pm Session C-10. Invited paper by John Skvoretz (University of Room 424, М- South Florida) “What Mathematical Sociology Reveals about the 11 Problem of Integrating Diverse Societies: Advances in the ENG Analysis of Networks of Intergroup Relations, Attraction vs Repulsion Models” (joint work with Zbigniew Karpiński) Moderator: D. Maltseva (HSE University)

Modern societies are diverse on many dimensions: race and ethnicity, social class, educational attainment, age, gender orientation, political persuasion, religious affiliation, and nativity, the last of increasing importance with recent migration waves. How such societies maintain a level of coherence, of social integration between these diverse groups, is a fundamental question of contemporary significance. Understanding the basic principles that produce or fail to produce social integration – unity among diversity – is a foundational one in sociology. The work we present advances understanding of the network of intergroup relations through the analysis of two contrasting mechanisms by which population diversity conditions the formation of intergroup social ties. The first mechanism is based on the idea that individuals form social ties with others based on “attraction” to those who are similar to them along important social dimensions. The second mechanism asserts that the driving force in tie formation is “repulsion” from those who differ on these important social dimensions. In the first case, the overrepresentation of ties between persons of similar background is a direct consequence of an “inbreeding” bias while in the second case, it is an indirect consequence of a “rejection” bias directed at dissimilar others. As the talk demonstrates, techniques from mathematical sociology provide formal models that offer strong and competing hypotheses about patterns in intergroup relations.

Honorary paper by Bernard Grofman (University Room 328, М- of California, Irvine) “Electoral Rules and Ethnic and Gender 11 Representation” ENG Moderator: D. Karabekyan (HSE University)

The question I will address is “How do we structure electoral rules so as achieve representation for particular ethnic groups who are minorities in their country, or for groups, such as women, who while numerous, may have been subject to historical patterns of discrimination whose effects continue to the present? “ The first part of my presentation deals with the conditions for the creation and success of ethnic parties. Here I pay particular attention to the interaction of ethnic electoral geography with electoral rules (especially district magnitude). The second part of my remarks has as its taking off point a classic essay in 1986 by Arend Lijphart on “Proportionality by Non-PR methods” and discusses five mechanisms, including mandatory mechanisms such as ethnic rolls, reserved seats, and exemptions for particular ethnic groups of some aspects of the electoral laws; and non-mandatory methods for ethnic representation such as norms (but not requirements) for placement of ethnic candidates on party lists or as party candidates and districts geographically targeted to capture ethnic minority population concentrations – with particular emphasis on the latter. In the third part of my presentation. I shift the discussion from ethnic representation to women’s representation. Some of the same kinds of facilitative mechanisms apply in the context of gender representation as apply in the context of ethnic representation. However, we almost never observe women’s parties, and geographic districting to create districts with a concentration of women is simply not possible.

Proportional representation systems determine how individual citizens, who are many, are represented by Members of Parliament, who are but a few. The same representational problem arises when Political Groups in Parliament must determine the members of a committee of a size much smaller than Parliament, or when geographical districts are to be represented in Parliament proportionally to population figures. Inevitably, proportional representation culminates in the task of translating numbers into numbers, namely, large numbers of those to be represented, into small numbers of those serving as representatives. The task is solved by procedures called apportionment methods. The lecture will analyze apportionment methods, scrutinize their structural properties, and illustrate their applications. 5:00-6:30pm Session D-04. IO Room 326a, М- 11 M.

Honorary paper by Maarten Janssen (University of Room 311, М- Vienna, HSE University) “Regulating Product Communication” 20 Moderator: S. Izmalkov (NES) ENG Information regulation that penalizes deceptive communication by firms can have significant unintended consequences. We consider a market where competing firms communicate private information about product quality through a combination of pricing and direct communication (such as advertising or labeling) and where quality claims communicated directly may be deliberately false. A higher fine for lying reduces the reliance on price signaling, thereby lowering market power and consumption distortions; however, it may create competitive incentives for excessive disclosure. Low fines are always worse than no fines. High fines are welfare improving only if (truthful) disclosure itself is rather inexpensive. Generally, high and low quality firms may both be worse off under fines on false claims.

Invited paper by Mariano Laplane (University of Room 311, М- Campinas) “Current Challenges for Development: a Latin 20 American Perspective” ENG, Moderator: A. Shcherbakova (HSE University) Simultaneous translation Latin American countries are in the process of rethinking its future development potential. The prospects for the long run performance of the world economy are unclear. The World Order itself is far from stable. Even in this uncertain context at least two important sources of opportunities and threats can be identified: innovation trajectories with far reaching potential impacts on production and consumption patterns and growing restrictions arising from climate change. On the domestic front, important conditioning factors are also in place: local economies are increasingly controlled by global companies, local elites have also become more involved in global business and the ability of Latin American States to lead the development process is restricted by fiscal constraints, institutional downgrading and polarization of public opinion. The lecture will explore the viability of a development strategy for the region that aims to take advantage of the opportunities without ignoring threats and weaknesses. 5:00-6:30pm Session I-04.

The end of the Cold War saw the emergence of democratic or nearly democratic regimes in countries with weak democratic prerequisites – endemic poverty, illiteracy, or a high degree of ethnolinguistic and religious difference. Albania and Macedonia in Eastern Europe; Kyrgyzstan and Moldova in the former Soviet Union; Benin, Mali, and Senegal in Africa witnessed the rise and persistence of competitive authoritarian and democratic institutions familiar to Western observers: regular and competitive elections, powerful legislatures, and free media. Indeed, the share of democracies among low and lower-middle income countries nearly doubled from the mid-1980s to the 2000s. I argue that pluralism in "new democracies" is often grounded less in democratic leadership or emerging civil society and more in the failure of authoritarianism. Democratic competition frequently emerges because autocrats lack the state capacity to steal elections, impose censorship, or

repress opposition. In fact, the same institutional failures that facilitate political competition may also thwart the development of stable democracy. 3:00-4:30pm Session M-03. Invited paper by Jason Brownlee (University of Room 423, М- Texas at Austin) “What Have We Learned About Dynastic 11 Succession in the Past 10 Years?” ENG Moderator: A. Melville (HSE University)

Prior research on modern authoritarian regimes has reported a striking pattern in the area of leadership succession. Specifically, hereditary succession, the conventional method for preserving monarchies, has also been used to perpetuate republic-style autocracies. However, this outcome is most likely to occur at the intersection of two uncommon characteristics: biological opportunity and long-term political survival. Further, the process depends on the existing institutional framework. In the absence of prior experience selecting a ruler through a party, regime elites have accepted filial heirs apparent. By contrast, when the incumbent has arisen from a party, his successor predominantly emerged from that organization as well. Among twenty-two cases of potential hereditary succession during 1946-2006, variations in institutional history account for 77% of succession outcomes. Out of seven cases where the ruler preceded the party, five rulers groomed sons and all five took office. By contrast, where the party predated the ruler, incumbents successfully installed sons in only three of fifteen cases. This finding was first reported in 2007. What has the field learned in ten years since? The present paper answers this question by examining major cases of hereditary and non-hereditary authoritarian succession from sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. 5:00-6:30pm Session M-04.

Much scholarly attention has shifted from democratization to a recognition of 39

authoritarian resilience, of how authoritarian regimes have been able to stabilize themselves and remain in power for a considerable period of time. Recognition that regime change is more often a result of splits within the elite than it is of mobilization in the streets points to the need to understand why some authoritarian elites have been able to prevent disunity and consolidate themselves in power. This suggests that the notion of authoritarian rule, consisting of a dictator who is able to wield arbitrary power without constraint, may require modification, at least in some cases. This paper will posit that there are five sorts of rules that are commonly found structuring elite politics in authoritarian regimes: decision rules; rules of comportment governing behaviour; rules structuring membership of the oligarchy; principles relating to succession; and norms about the relationship between the oligarchy and the broader elite. This lecture will outline the nature of these different sorts of rules and give some examples of where they operate. 10:00-11:30am Session M-05/2.

Has turnout in European Parliamentary elections decreased over time? While this certainly appears to be the case in absolute terms, a more nuanced analysis, replicating a study presented by Mark Franklin in 2001, reveals a more complex picture. When ‘structural factors’ such as compulsory voting, the effect of EP elections being held for the first time in an EU member state, ‘electoral salience’ (measured as the temporal distance to the next national parliamentary election) and the share of post-2004 countries in the total EU membership are accounted for, our analysis reveals that these can partially explain the observed lowering in real turnout rates. The explanatory power of the models capturing the situation in the aftermath of the 1999 EP elections are, however, lower than when they are applied to earlier EP elections. This leads to the additional observation that while structural factors offer a plausible explanation for the decline in EP turnout rates over time, their relative influence is gradually decreasing. 41

3:00-4:30pm Session O-11/1. Invited paper by Tobin Im (Seoul National Room 311, М- University) “Government Competitiveness and Bureaucratic 20 Reforms” ENG, Moderator: A. Barabashev (HSE University) Simultaneous translation This speech will discuss several issues I consider vital for improving government competitiveness in Eastern Europe. I discovered that despite the role of government is important in the region, public administration has been understudied. More governance studies on Eastern European countries with respect to performance will benefit scholars as well as policymakers. I will present key characteristics of Government Competitiveness in order to explain the necessity of making a different index from the existing indices such as IMD, World Bank, Quality of Governance etc. Based on the theoretical background, I will present rankings of government competitiveness 2018 and give some sectoral analysis of the ranking. For example, Russian government achieved significant progresses as well as showed some weaknesses, compared with last year. Over the last two decades, many Western-style reforms were proselytized and implemented in developing countries without considering their unique contexts, which results in many problems. Understanding this problem of fitness will help developing countries set

different expectations, targets, and institutions for their own improvement of public organizations. To name a few of many challenges, there are lack of capacity in implementing personnel and data management, lack of clear line of command between upper-level and lower-level agencies, insufficient logic and incentives for public employees to pursue performance-oriented reforms, seniority-based civil service, and bureaucracy not responding to reforms. Unless these challenges are considered in a way to fit reform ideas and ideals with the existing institutional settings in developing countries, reforms will remain only as “window-dressing”; in other words, reforms are presented to the public, but they are not implemented as much or there are no internal mechanisms to implement them within each public organization. Korea has assiduously followed US-style reforms for many years. But the reforms have often produced worse outcomes than before. Conceptions of human relations, bureaucrats, Confucian principle of human nature, notions of monetary incentive compared to promotion, and formalization or red tape are widely different between Korea and the United States. Once these details are accounted for, it is no wonder that some reforms have generated markedly different outcomes than what was intended at the beginning. 3:00-4:30pm Session O-11/2.

Nezhina (HSE University)

This paper addresses the changing role of the state and public administration in the age of rapid globalization and, also contested globalization, with positive prospective projections. It offers: (a) historical insights on the role of the modern state in shaping policies and leading economies with growth and development on a mass scale; (b) highlights its important role of saving the 50

capitalist systems from periodic collapse, especially in the face of self- destruction during the 1930s global Great Depression and safeguarding against recurring future depressions; and (c) a view on how the State has held the ships of nation-states and capitalist systems in the high storms ever since the 1980s when a new massive global onslaught with a two-pronged change was launched to crush its role in high sea storms: The first was (1) the rise of corporate globalization of the world with false promises through both peaceful and violent means of wars. And the second (2) was the launching of the massive transformations of the public sector and governments through (i) sweeping privatizations transferring “public” assets to “private big business hands” for profit and wealth accumulation, and (ii) the launching in the last three decades of top-down ideological policy change of New Public Management (NPM) as a strategy to change the “culture of public service” into the “ideological culture of business service as a superior management model.” These two strategies have served as powerful instruments for achieving the strategic goals of “corporate globalization of the world” (Farazmand 1999, 2007, 2009, 2017). The paper further presents the concurrent global movements of anti-globalization and Neo-Globalization as well as the global calls for bringing the State back in with enhanced role for promoting sustainable social and economic development, correcting for market failures, and engaging citizens for democratic sound governance worldwide. Policy suggestions are offered in conclusion. This paper presents the views of the author only, and not any institution, including Florida Atlantic University.

Section P. Demography and Labour Markets Moderator: M. Denisenko (HSE University), L. Smirnykh (HSE University)

Tuesday, April 9 5:00-6:30pm Session P-04. Invited paper by Vladimir Shkolnikov (Max Planck Room 513, М- Institute for Demographic Research, HSE University) “The 20 Burden of Excess Mortality Rates and Factors Underlying its RUS+ENG, Reduction in Russia” (joint work with E. Andreev) Simultaneous Moderator: A. Vishnevsky (HSE University) translation

In the mid-1960s, Russia came very close to Finland in terms of life expectancy (LE). However, in 1965, life expectancy in Russia started to go down. This negative trend continued for another four decades and prevailed until the mid-2000s. If mortality rates in Russia after 1965 had been the same as in Finland, we would have had 25 million more citizens in 2017. Two key factors underlying excessive mortality rates in Russia include (1) working-age mortality caused by alcohol abuse, accidents and violence, which has been consistently growing; (2) the mortality among elderly persons caused mainly by cardiovascular diseases, which has remained equally high throughout the four decades, while it has been going down in other countries. In 2005-2017, Russia had not only managed to reduce its mortality rates caused by alcohol abuse and other external factors by 50% - 80%, but also for the first time in its history experienced a significant drop in the cardiovascular mortality among 51

elderly persons. In terms of mortality structure by the age and risk factors, Russia roughly follows Estonia’s pattern with an approx. 8-9 calendar year delay. In spite of all these achievements, Russia is still largely lagging behind countries with low mortality rates. The life expectancy gap comes to 12 years for men and 5 years for women. If we have a look at the Preston curve, we will see that the life expectancy rates in Russia could have been 6.5 years higher in view of the per capita GDP achieved in 2017. Excessive mortality rates in Russia are rooted not only and not so much in the lack of resources, but rather in their suboptimal distribution and inefficient use.

Gimpelson (HSE University), A. Vishnevsky (HSE translation University)

This paper studies the global variation in economic preferences. For this purpose, we present the Global Preference Survey (GPS), an experimentally validated survey data set of time preference, risk preference, positive and negative reciprocity, altruism, and trust from 80,000 people in 76 countries. The data reveal substantial heterogeneity in preferences across countries, but even larger within-country heterogeneity. Across individuals, preferences vary with age, gender, and cognitive ability, yet these relationships appear partly country specific. At the country level, the data reveal correlations between preferences and biogeographic and cultural variables, such as agricultural suitability, language structure, and religion. Variation in preferences is also correlated with economic outcomes and behaviors. Within countries and subnational regions, preferences are linked to individual savings decisions, labormarket choices, and prosocial behaviors. Across countries, preferences vary with aggregate outcomes ranging from per capita income, to entrepreneurial activities, to the frequency of armed conflicts.

In this presentation I will present research I am conducting with colleagues exploring the relationship between organizational culture and innovation. Management scholars and managers alike have much interest in how to facilitate innovation since innovation has been suggested to be critical for a firm's long-term survival and performance. I will begin by presenting results from a meta analysis of what management practices facilitates innovation and show that organizational culture is the management practice which has the largest effect on innovation. I will then present initial results from a large sample survey-based study of firms in Russia exploring the relationship between organizational culture and innovation. Rather than taking a general model of organizational culture, the study inductively develops a model of organizational culture for the Russian context. The study then explores the relationship between organizational culture and innovation to highlight what dimensions of innovation are most important as drivers of innovation in Russia. Finally, I will present results from interviews with managers of firms working in Russia to highlight implementation issues related to the study's findings. The work which I am presenting is work in progress. 69
