The econometric assessment of the impact on inflation levels in the Russian economy of the main parameters of the budget system of the Russian Federation, which include: 1) total budget revenues, 2) total budget expenditures, 3) budget deficits, is discussed. The paper builds two econometric models in which the annual levels of inflation in the Russian economy over the time 2007-2023 are taken as an explicable variable. The explanatory variables of the model include derivatives of the main parameters of the budget system of the Russian Federation. The main results of the work are as follows. Budget deficits in the current and lag period do not affect inflation levels. Budget momentum (primary budget deficit) in the current and lag period does not affect the inflation levels. The growth rate of nominal budget revenues does not affect the levels of inflation in the current and lag period. The growth rate of nominal budget expenditures has a significant direct impact on inflation levels in Russia. The growth rate of nominal budget expenditures for servicing state and municipal debt has a significant direct impact on the inflation rate in Russia. Adverse events such as the global financial crisis and Western sanctions have a significant negative impact on the Russian economy, increasing annual inflation rates by an average of 5% per year.

The article is devoted to the construction of models for panel data that take into account the influence of qualitative features on the endogenous variable. Dummy variables are an econometric tool that formalizes the influence of qualitative features. The need to include dummy variables in econometric models was recently dictated by structural changes in the economies of a number of countries caused by unprecedented Western sanctions and changes associated with the pandemic. The aim of this study is to develop and empirically test a model of Russia's trade turnover with BRICS countries using panel data techniques that account for the impact of qualitative (time-invariant) factors on the endogenous variable, employing Fixed effects vector decomposition (FEVD) method. FEVD approach provides a more flexible model specification by combining the advantages of fixed and random effects models without relying on the strict assumption of zero correlation between individual effects and regressors, which is typical of random effects models. This enhances the capabilities of panel data analysis in econometrics and enables more accurate modeling of the influence of qualitative factors on the endogenous variable. The objectives of the study include: building models for panel data based on BRICS data, conducting their specification tests, implementing FEVD method algorithm in the R software environment, and algebraic and empirical verification of the properties of the method parameter estimates. The result of the work is adaptation of FEVD method to the specifics of BRICS economies in the context of modern economic challenges. Balanced panel data for five BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) for the period 2000-2020 were used as an empirical base. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the impact of macroeconomic indicators (GDP, dollar exchange rate, oil price, pandemic shock, etc.) on Russia's trade turnover with BRICS countries. The FEVD method made it possible to increase the accuracy of the estimation results in comparison with the traditional fixed effects model. The study contributes to the empirical base for estimating fixed effects models using FEVD method.

The article is analyzing the influence of preferential conditions for entrepreneurial activity in the status of a resident of the 'territory of advanced development' to the financial indicators of the organization. The anchor resident of the Priority Development Area "Naberezhnye Chelny", the Chinese company "Haier", which in eight years of functioning, commissioned six factories for the production of household equipment, in which the opening of another six factories, in the framework of the construction of the "Haier industrial park", was taken as an object of study. The financial and economic indicators of the resident are analyzed, on the basis of which a 5-multiple difference in paying taxes is revealed in comparison with the general taxation system. Other measures of support for such residents are: a decrease in administrative barriers, subsidizing interest rates, partial reimbursement of the costs of buying equipment. Our study proves the significant impact of the provided preferences on the results of economic activity of enterprises opening new production facilities with the status of "resident" in the "territory of advanced development". Still, in the new conditions of the Russian economy, it is proposed to consider the target function of the "territories of advanced development" as the creation of conditions for attracting residents with high-tech production and, accordingly, the preferential territory is considered as a subsystem of the regional innovation ecosystem.

In the context of the rapid digitalization of the economy, the effective management of the life cycle of digital products is becoming a critical element of sustainable development. This study aims to analyze the impact of the typological characteristics of digital products on the structure and duration of their life cycle, and to develop recommendations for managing this process. This paper proposes a typology-oriented model of the life cycle of digital products, taking into account architectural flexibility, update frequency, user interaction nature, payment form dependence degree, and institutional constraints. Based on an analysis of scientific literature, industry reports and the practices of digital platforms, an original classification of digital products has been developed, as well as an adapted eight-stage life cycle model. This differs from traditional models in that it takes into account the specifics of the digital environment. A comparative analysis was conducted on different product types, including software, digital assets, data, internet services, digital goods, and hybrid formats. For the first time, life cycle extension strategies have been systematized, taking into account technological dynamics and market volatility. The obtained results clarify the regularities in the development of digital solutions in a market environment and can be used to optimize the economic models of digital product management in a transformational digital economy. Special attention is paid to digital assets and data as products with a nonstandard development trajectory. The practical significance of this work lies in its potential application to strategic planning, investment assessment, and product life cycle monitoring. The approaches presented can be used for digital market research, business analytics, and public policy in the field of digital economy regulation.
