CHANGING WORLD ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL SCENARIO: EMERGING VERSUS AGING ECONOMIES This thesis is submitted as a partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Ph.D in Economics Research Scholar: Abdul Ghafoor Awan Supervisor:- Prof.Dr. Rana Ejaz Ali Khan, Department of Economics Islamia University of Bahawalpur-Pakistan ABSTRACT Introduction: The dawn of 21st century has changed the scene of the world economy and shifted the Centre of economic growth from Western hemisphere to the Asian Continent. The global financial crisis of 2008 and European debt crisis of 2010 have exposed inherent weak- ness of G-7 economies, which are facing the challenges of twin deficits, falling productivity, rising debts and aging population. In contrast, the emerging economies particularly, China, India and Brazil, have shown robust economic growth during 2000-2010. China’s fast economic growth since 1960s was the result of gradual shift in its economic system, open door policy and its accession to the world trade organization. The institutional reforms and access to foreign markets has been followed by investment strategies expanded 45% of Chinese GDP during last 40 years. The consistent vertical economic growth has no precedent in the economic history of the world. China has increased its share in world trade from 0.5% in 1960 to 10% in 2010 and accumulated foreign exchange reserves of US$3.19 trillion by March 2013. It is not less than a miracle. Objectives: The objective of this dissertation is to measure the changes taken place in world economy during 2000-2010 and its impact on assets allocation, employment labour productivity, poverty, and allocation of resources. -
Economy of Russia. History 14.01.2019
Economy of Russia Alina Shcherbakova, PhD, Higher School of Economics, Moscow, Russia You can't understand Russia with your mind, You can't measure it with the standard instruments: This country has a particular status – In Russia you can only trust. Fyodor Tyutchev The economy of Russia is the eleventh largest economy in the world by nominal value. Russia has an abundance of natural gas, oil, coal, and precious metals. It is also rich in agriculture. Russia has undergone significant changes since the collapse of the Soviet Union, moving from a centrally planned economy to a more market- based and globally integrated economy. 7 Periods of Russian History in XX-XXI C • Tsar Nikolai II – till 1917 • Revolution and Civil war – 1917- 1920 • Recovery – 1920 – 1928 • Stalin’s industrialization – 1930-1941 • WW II – 1939 – 1945; USSR and USA –1941-1945 • Reindustrialization – 1945 – 1990 • Transition crisis – 1990 – 1998 • Slow recovery – 1999 – 2002 • Oil prices up and fast growth – 2002-2008 • Slow growth – 2009 - 2018 Key problems of the Russian history Millennium+ with no peace, regular wars… Big wars – Borders = Pattern of surrounding Revolution and XX C. = series of Catastrophes Crush of the SU aggravated all crises… - three transformations: state, ideology, ownership. 1990-s - shock for people and change of elites.

Smith Space and Technology Policy Group, LLC and SpacePolicyOnline.com “Civil” Space Activities in Russia “Civil” space activities Soviet Union did not distinguish between “civil” and “military” space programs until 1985 Line between the two can be quite blurry For purposes of this presentation, “civil” means Soviet/Russian activities analogous to NASA and NOAA (though no time to discuss metsats today) Roscosmos is Russian civil space agency.

Yu., Kotovschikov A. V., Mitrofanova E. Yu., Puzanov A. V.e Institute for Water and Environmental Problems SB RAS, Barnaul, Russia, [email protected] ABSTRACT The current data on the ecological state of streams at the launch site of the Vostochny Cosmodrome with the use of biological indicators are presented. Recommendations on the surface water biomonitoring of the cosmodrome and the booster rocket drop zones are given. It is shown that the system of biological monitoring of the cosmodrome, as a part of the Roscosmos environmental monitoring, should be coordinated with the Roshydromet monitoring. Keywords: Bioindication; Biomonitoring; the Vostochny Cosmodrome; Zeya River Basin 1. Introduction The Vostochny Cosmodrome is a new Russian spaceport in the Amur Oblast, in the Russian Far East. Its construction began in 2011, and in April 2016 it was put into operation[1]. The launch site of the cosmodrome is located in the Zeya river basin. 1.1. Object of research The river network of the launch site is represented mainly by small rivers. The site partly includes the watersheds of the Zeya first- and second-order tributaries (Bolshaya Pera, Ora and Dzhatva rivers). Besides, there are watersheds of other first-order right tributaries of the Zeya (Galchikha, Kamenushka, Iur rivers, and Iversky stream), and the first-order tributaries of Bolshaya Pera river (Zolotoy, Serebryany, Medny streams) and Ora river (Okhotnichy and Nikolaevsky streams). -

As part of IPC, the Eurasia Branch (EAB) specializes in data collection and analysis for all countries of Europe and selected countries of Asia. Most effort, including economic research, is devoted to the countries of the former Soviet Union and China. For over 30 years, EAB and its predecessors have been a leading source of data and analysis for these regions on population dynamics and characteristics, ethnicity, education, health, labor force, industrial output and potential, fuel and energy balances, input-output tables, gross national product and other macroeconomic accounts, and statistical systems. To facilitate this research, EAB maintains an extensive original language library which is a major U. S. Government repository of Soviet and former Soviet republic economic, demographic, and other statistical materials. This bibliography documents all statistical materials received (as of December 15, 1995) since the breakup of the Soviet Union and is designed as a reference tool for analysts working on various aspects of the former Soviet Union.

Russia Regional Risk Rating
IHS| http://wwwold.ihs.ac.at/index.php3?in=http://www.ihs.ac.at/secti... ANDREAS WÖRGÖTTER, IHS Russia Regional Risk Rating Presentation Salzburg, June 22, 1998 Bank Austria CEEC and Russia Investment Risk Rating The macroeconomic stabilization of the Russian economy stimulated the interest of both academics and business circles resulting in more knowledge on economic development and opportunities in this country. The issue of foreign investments in the Russian Regions and the related legal and logistic frameworks has become a prominent subject of worldwide interest. However, the vast environmental, demographic, political, economic, financial and cultural diversity of the country, arising from its wide geographic spread, make it difficult to consider the Federation as a single entity. The Russian Federation is the largest country in the world and extending over 9 time zones. The Russian Federation is home to a variety of different peoples and religions of all main European, Arab and Asian beliefs. Russia is combining its wealth of resources and high technological sophistication with the struggles to overcome the distortions of its central planning legacies. The Russian Federation exemplifies diversity, which is unique among all economies. Therefore, the regional approach seems to be relevant and appropriate. This approach allows us to delineate the obstacles and risks for investment at the level of more homogeneous subjects of the Federation. The characterization of the 89 RF subjects by the use of a large number of various indicators is a challenging undertaking, and the presentation of its results needs special techniques. Despite the fact that some information could be lost for the reader, or is indistinguishably couched in technical procedures, our method of rating remains one of the most vivid ways to display investment risks. -
