Global value chains in the age of uncertainty: advantages, vulnerabilities, and ways for enhancing resilience
In this paper, we seek to explain the fundamental vulnerability of global value chains (GVCs) to sudden shocks, as revealed by the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, and outline ways for enhancing their adaptability to the increased uncertainty at both conceptual and policy levels. We consider the concept and a typical multi-structural model ...
Introducing Sectoral Models into Regional Management: An Assessment of Regulatory Impacts on the Economy

The authors construct sectoral models to assess regulatory impacts on regional economic performance. Assessments of regulatory impacts on product value chains, economic sectors, and regions as a whole show good repeatability, which makes it possible to provide a rationale for economic decision-making. The authors propose new sectoral models using the Kaliningrad region as an example. The models are used ...
The economy of Russian Baltic regions: development level and dynamics, structure and international trade partners
... Russia’s involvement in the global economy, on the other, have made them ‘international development corridors’ [27]. They account for a significant portion of Russia’s international trade, and their economies are included in international value chains. All this causes them to outstrip most Russian regions in terms of social and economic development. A positive net migration rate provides for a population increase in the territories: the average annual net migration per 10,000 population in 2014—2020 ...

... have historically been economic partners, the economic relations between them are tense today. Nearly stagnating bilateral trade contributes little to the development of either side. The Baltics-Russian bilateral trade conducted within global value chains (GVC) and operations of multinational companies is much more resistant to geopolitical and economic shocks than traditional international trade. In particular, the accession of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania to the EU and NATO in 2004 and the introduction ...
The statement of the problem of scattering of band electrons in an atomic chain by impurities in the approximation of potentials of zero radius

In order to describe zone electrons the Bloch functions are constructed with respect to symmetry consideration. In addition, zero range potential approximation is used to model both atoms in chain and ...

These repetitions often set the rhythm and determine the folklore character of his poems.

In Nekrasov’s poems these features appear in a concentrated,...

The Kaliningrad, Kaluga, and Leningrad regions exhibit high import dependence in the production sector, particularly in the automotive industry, due to their active involvement in global supply chains. Sanctions against large legal entities created risks for the stability of regional economies but the increase in demand for domestic products offset this impact. Foreign enterprises exiting the market posed risks of disrupting production chains ...
