In particular, such determinants of transactions as asset specificity, uncertainty, and frequency can create a basis for abandoning the price mechanism.

Overall, the regional level of consumption is significantly below the nationwide figures [19]. These ...

The author examines the process of reorganizing the collective farm into a closed joint-stock company. The general conclusion is that, despite the possibility of organizing ...

Moreover, the disparity in average living standards between these two groups of countries turns out to be narrower than cross-regional differences within seven EU member states at the Eurostat’s NUTS 2 level.
