It was founded in Ekaterinburg in 1920 by the decree of Vladimir Lenin, the head of the Soviet Government. After some time the University split into two: Ural State University (USU), specializing in fundamental, natural and mathematical sciences, humanities and social studies, and Ural Polytechnic Institute (UPI, later - Ural State Technical University, USTU-UPI) which was essentially focused on training engineers for metallurgical, heavy engineering, construction, radio technology and power engineering industries. UPI was also engaged in the dynamic development of the knowledge areas which were new for the USSR back then: nuclear power engineering, organic chemistry, telecommunication technologies. Both universities maintained close ties with each other and their partners – Ural industrial enterprises, which turned Ekaterinburg into one of the largest university cities in Russia. Construction of the University campus started in the 1940-s; now it occupies the whole district in the city. In 2008 the modernisation reform of the Russian higher education system was launched. A number of universities already having close relations were merged, received a federal Boris Yeltsin, the first status and additional financing. President of Russia, Federal universities are located in Rostov-on-don, Krasnoyarsk, Kazan, Arkhangelsk, UrFU graduate of 1955 Yakutsk, Kaliningrad, Vladivostok, Stavropol and Ekaterinburg. They now rank among Russia’s top higher educational institutions along with Moscow State University and St.Petersburg State University.

Renee Bowen, Ying Chen, Hülya Eraslan, and Jan Zapal Department of Economics Baker Hall, MS22 6100 Main Street, Houston, Texas 77005 https://economics.rice.edu Efficiency of Flexible Budgetary Institutions ∗ T. Renee Boweny Ying Chenz H¨ulya Eraslanx Jan Z´apal{ June 18, 2015 Abstract Which budgetary institutions result in efficient provision of public goods? We an- alyze a model with two parties bargaining over the allocation to a public good each period. Parties place different values on the public good, and these values may change over time. We focus on budgetary institutions that determine the rules governing feasible allocations to mandatory and discretionary spending programs. Mandatory spending is enacted by law and remains in effect until changed, and thus induces an endogenous status quo, whereas discretionary spending is a periodic appropriation that is not allocated if no new agreement is reached. We show that discretionary only and mandatory only institutions typically lead to dynamic inefficiency and that mandatory only institutions can even lead to static inefficiency. By introducing appropriate flexi- bility in mandatory programs, we obtain static and dynamic efficiency. An endogenous choice of mandatory and discretionary programs, sunset provisions and state-contingent mandatory programs can provide this flexibility in increasingly complex environments.
