Roundtable B-13-2/1. Macroeconomic Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Prospects for Economic Recovery
Moderator: A. Shokhin (HSE University)
Issues for discussion:
• What structural changes to the Russian economy, which were observed at the end 2020, will limit the GDP growth and national wellbeing, and which, on the contrary, may contribute to its enhancement?
• Why has the dynamics of the manufacturing industry been stable against a dramatic drop in raw materials sector and services? Which industrial sectors have become the “locomotives” of the recovery and how long can their growth be expected to continue?
• What was the reason for the unexpectedly moderate decline in investments in 2020? To what extent have those sectors, which were regarded as promising in terms of the future growth, been affected? What has happened to the dynamics of investment sources and propensity for investment?
• How stable are the shifts that have occurred in consumer behavior, and how will the propensity to consume, which has sharply decreased as a result of the crisis, continue to change?
• How critical are the structural shifts in the general dynamics of population income, inequality and poverty, such as a decrease in the entrepreneurial revenues and property-related income? Is there any reason to be worried about falling incomes in the informal sector? Or, is it only the dynamics of “white wages” and social transfers that matter? What have been the real losses in production and employment in the SME sector?
• How can the relative stability of value of non-oil&gas exports, as well as imports of goods, be explained against in light of an easily explainable decline in oil&gas revenues, exports and imports of services? How reversible are capital flight and near zero FDI indicators?
• What sources were used to compensate for the shortfall in budget revenues in 2020? Why did ad hoc solutions (e.g., a deal with Sberbank) have to be used along with integrated budget rule mechanisms? Is this “rule” consistent enough with the current configuration of risks to the Russian budget? To what extent has the dependence of regional budgets on federal transfers increased, and how will the anticipated cuts in their overall amount affect the budget balance?

Roundtable B-13-4/2. Learning from Cities and COVID Across the Globe
Moderator: A. Sanghi (World Bank)
Issues for discussion:
Across the globe cities have been at the center of the COVID crisis Cities were the first places where cases exploded; the first places figuring out what to do to slow the spread of COVID; and now cities are leading the recovery. Cities have been affected differently by COVID with some more immediately impacted and others hardly affected. What explains these differences? Population density? People’s incomes and jobs? As COVID spread rapidly across the world’s cities, what did cities do to slow the spread? And as cities move beyond COVID, what can local governments do to safeguard lives and livelihoods, to become more resilient to a future pandemic as they recover from this one?
This session will bring together a panel of World Bank experts working on cities and COVID globally to share what they have learned since the pandemic began. Experts from HSE and RANEPA will reflect on the relevance for Russian academics, think tanks, and urban policymakers. Questions and insights from the audience will be welcomed in this interactive session.

Honorary paper A-14-1. Bart van Ark (The Productivity Institute University of Manchester) "Perspective on Productivity: Benefits to Economy, Business, Workers and Society" (Joint event of HSE University and International Association for Research in Income and Wealth)
Moderator: L. Ovcharova (HSE University)
For the past decade and a half, productivity growth has slowed down around the world. This is a major concern because productivity is key driver of long-term economic growth. It is also surprising as new (digital) technologies should have helped productivity to improve. Following the COVID-19 crisis, productivity needs to resurface as part of the recovery. In this lecture, Bart van Ark reviews the reasons for the slowdown and what can be done to unlock productivity again. In particular, he will argue that a concerted effort by business, government and the workforce is needed to strengthen the economies’ absorptive capacity to innovate. We also need to better understand how productivity helps to improve people’s well-being.

Roundtable B-14-4/1. Labor Productivity and Russian Human Capital: Paradoxes of Interrelation?
Moderator: V. Gimpelson (HSE University)
Issues for discussion:
There is a general consensus among economists that developed human capital is necessary for ensuring a high level of productivity and earning power. Human capital envelops the productive qualities embodied in human activity, such as one’s qualifications, knowledge, abilities, skills, imagination, creativity and entrepreneurial aptitude – all this and more not only push technological progress forward, but also ensure the establishment, dissemination and effective utilization of its outcomes.
The relation between per capita GDP (i.e., productivity) and level of education is well known: the richest countries are usually the best educated. However, the opposite is not always the case. In terms of tertiary education, Russia is a world leader; but in terms of labour productivity, it ranks somewhat lower, lagging behind the global leaders.
This means that the country’s human capital does not translate into high-quality standard of living and labour productivity. In other words, this means the ineffective utilization of accumulated skills and knowledge, i.e., it is either wasted or undervalued.
As such, two reasons may account for this. Either our human capital is of a low productive quality and is our wishful thinking, or there are serious limitations, which prevent human capital from meeting its productive potential.
In addition, both scenarios might be true. The first idea implies the need to enhance the power of Russia’s human capital – further accumulation and improvements in quality, while the second scenario means looking at external factors (beyond human capital per se), primarily institutional, which can substantially determine demand for labour and its overall quality (in terms of education and skills). With this report, we will consider the first explanation.

Invited paper G-14-2. L. Limonov (Leontief Centre, HSE University - St. Petersburg) "Russian Cities: Old Problems and New Challenges" (Public Lecture of the Laureate of the ARETT Medal “In Recognition of Research in Economic Analysis")
Moderator: D. Tolmachev (ARETT, UrFU, HSE University - St. Petersburg)
The lecture examines the features of Russian urbanization at the present stage, as well as the differences between large and small cities in Russia both in terms of objective indicators of socio-economic development and subjective assessments and values of the population of these groups of cities (according to the European Social Survey). The groups of cities with different development trajectories are distinguished, the cases of small and medium-sized cities that do not belong to the largest urban agglomerations that have successfully overcome the transformation crisis are considered, and the features and sources of their resilience are discussed. An example of a federal project for the preservation of the cultural heritage of small historical cities and approaches to assessing its effectiveness and efficiency are considered. In conclusion, the impact of the coronavirus crisis on different groups of Russian cities and on the spatial transformations expected in the post-pandemic period is discussed.

Honorary paper B-15-1/1. Mikhail Myasnikovich (Eurasian Economic Commission) -
Moderator: I. Prostakov (HSE University)
For the six-year period since its inception, the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) has managed to pass a significant stage in its development, forming the integral economic model for its member states and serving as part of the global economic architecture.
The Covid-19 pandemic of 2020 could be called the real ‘catalyst’, which has sped up the integration processes at the EAEU. Against the backdrop of large-scale epidemiological restrictions, lapsing global GDP, heightened trade rivalry and growth of protectionism throughout the world economy, the advantages of integration have become more obvious, as well as those areas of priority development that need to be pursued in order to overcome existing challenges and problems.
The tasks of identifying vectors, key measures and new mechanisms necessary for promoting integration and achieving the EAEU’s goals have been set out in a document approved by the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in December 2020 – ‘Strategic Guidelines for the Development of Eurasian Economic Integration until 2025’. Strategy-2025 not only taps the existing potential of the Union Treaty signed in 2014, but also proposes new areas of integration for the EAEU.
As part of his presentation, Chairman of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission, Doctor of Economics, Professor, Corresponding Member of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus Mikhail Myasnikovich will talk about how the EAEU plans to achieve its goals of advanced development, while also enhancing the competitiveness of member states over the midterm and taking advantage of the potential in respective integration processes.

Roundtable B-15-2/1. The Russian Pension System after 2024: Forks in the Road and Long-term Challenges
Moderator: O. Sinyavskaya (HSE University)
Issues for discussion:
Development of the Russian pension system over the next three years is expressly set in current legislation. However, it is less clear how future processes will turn out: the risks that may arise after 2024 remain unaddressed; there are differing positions in terms of how to face long-term challenges of the pension system. Discussions on the current Russian pension system and key challenges in its development can help to pinpoint areas of development after 2025, as well as determine solutions that must be made.

Honorary paper F-16-3. Asghar Zaidi (Oxford Institute of Population Ageing) "Active Ageing Index in non-European Countries"
Moderator: O. Sinyavskaya (HSE University)
The term active ageing was first articulated in the Active ageing: a policy framework (WHO) in 2002, which described “the process of optimizing opportunities for health, participation and security in order to enhance the quality of life as people age”. The core principles of active ageing were incorporated into the 2002 Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing. The Active Aging Index (AAI), which measures the untapped potential of older people for active and healthy ageing, was developed in 2012 for the European countries. However, the need to measure the potential for active ageing also exists in non-European countries. The ability to calculate the AAI using a unified methodology allows cross-country comparison. This lecture is dedicated to the possibilities and specifics of measuring active ageing in non-European countries. We will discuss the features of the assessment and the directions of AAI adaptation in non-European countries. We also present the AAI results for non-European countries and compare the European and non-European countries.

Invited paper K-16-2. Kari Liuhto (Pan-European Institute Turku School of Economics) «A role of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the EU’s energy supply: A special emphasis on the Baltic Sea region»
Moderator: A. Kuznetsov (INION RAN)
International liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade has tripled in this millennium. As a result of the LNG boom, the share of the LNG has jumped from a bit over 10 percent in the year 2000 to over 20 percent in the EU’s contemporary natural gas imports. The LNG boom has touched the Baltic Sea region as well. In the mid-2010’s, the first large-scale LNG-receiving terminals were constructed in Lithuania and Poland, and a few years later, the Kaliningrad region received its own LNG-receiving unit. However, Germany, the EU’s largest natural gas consumer, has not built an LNG unit on its shores yet. The completion of the Nord Stream 2 during this year may delay the German LNG terminal projects further or even stop some of them. In addition to Nord Stream 2, the EU’s Green Deal and the possible hydrogen revolution may slow down the spread of the LNG boom in the Baltic Sea region. This report aims to deal with the recent LNG development in the EU, putting a special emphasis on the Baltic Sea region.

Honorary paper K-16-3. Michael Landesmann (Johannes Kepler University) "COVID-19 and Structural Change in the European Economy"
Moderator: A. Kuznetsov (INION RAN)
Covid-19 has hit the European economy when it was still recovering from the impact of the financial and economic crisis which had started in 2008/09, had caused a double dip recession, challenged the architecture of the European Monetary Union (EMU) and revealed severe imbalances between member states (in external accounts, in the financial fragility of their banking system, and in the scope to counteract the crisis with fiscal instruments). The Covid-19 crisis has generated new responses at the EU level (especially establishing the Resilience and Recovery Fund which builds on joint debt issuance, but also joint measures to support employment programs, etc.) and it will be one of the tasks of this presentation to analyse whether these measures will pave the way to a longer-term trajectory of stronger EU-level economic integration which can tackle some of the deep-seated deficiencies in its economic and political architecture. Another aspect of this talk will be to analyse longer-term impacts of the Covid-19 crisis which combines with underlying longer-term changes in technologies and work organisation on distributional issues, such as occupational structures, skill demands, global and regional value chains, etc.

Honorary paper M-16-4. Staffan Lindberg (University of Gothenburg) “Democracy and Autocracy in 2020”
Moderator: A. Melville (HSE University)
In this talk Professor Lindberg analyses the trends in the world and across regions for democracy and autocracy. The dynamics of the last decades suggest an increasing tension between countries in the world aligning themselves with either side, and the empirical data suggests that autocracies are winning: Levels of liberal democracy are in decline and fewer and fewer countries qualify even as electoral democracies. V-Dem’s Democracy Report 2021 documents that over 2/3 of the world’s population now live in autocracies. At the same time, a growing body of research from medical and natural sciences to economics and social science provide rigorous evidence that democracy has dividends for increasing life expectancy, economic growth, environmental protection, and sustainable societies. This disjuncture and the specters it offers, it what this lecture is about.

Invited paper O-16-2. V. Klimanov (Institute for Public Finance Reform, RANEPA) "Fiscal Policy in Russia: Regional Conversion" (Public Lecture of the Laureate of the ARETT Medal “In Recognition of Research in Economic Analysis")
Moderator: O. Buklemishev (ARETT, MSU)
The fiscal policy at the regional level is radically different from the one that is carried out at the federal level, since not all macro-principles work at the subnational level. A significant part of the budget revenues of the Russia’s regions is provided by the federal grants, which are one of the key factors of assuring a regional budget resilience. The crisis of 2020 substantially affected the regional budgets and changed the directions of subnational fiscal policy. The high differentiation of the Russia’s regions remains both in terms of budget indicators and the quality of regional fiscal management.

Honorary paper A-19-1. Apurva Sanghi (The World bank) «Russia Integrates: Deepening the Country’s Integration in The Global Economy» (Attention! The Lecture Starts at 9:15)
Moderator: E. Gurvich (EEG)
This study “RUSSIA INTEGRATES: DEEPENING THE COUNTRY’S INTEGRATION IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY” assesses how GVCs have contributed to Russia’s development over the past two decades as well as the potential for GVCs to drive future economic growth. Based on the opportunities identified for Russia’s integration into GVCs, constraints are revealed and several policy recommendations developed to overcome these, covering areas of trade policy, domestic and traded services, and the role of institutional and regulatory quality in boosting FDI. While the analysis portrays Russia in a post-sanctions environment – distinctly less connected to global markets, less innovative, and with an unlevel playing field between public and private sectors that hinders competition – the findings indicate significant potential for Russia to make progress in terms of greater participation in the global economy. And while sanctions remain a first-order constraint for FDI, there are various measures that Russia can nonetheless take to make its business environment more conducive to trade and investment.

Roundtable L-19-3. What Hinders the Development of Russia’s Non-resource Exports?
Moderator: N. Volchkova (NES, RFTA)
Issues for discussion:
The objective of boosting non-resource exports is one of the most important goals in accelerating the pace of the Russian economy’s stable development. Modern trade theory, i.e., the theory of heterogeneous firms, stresses the important role of the costs in becoming an exporter. The high expenditures to enter into foreign markets, in order to overcome economic and regulatory barriers both inside and outside of Russia, have hampered the export operations of a large number of potentially competitive firms. In Russia, despite growth in non-resource exports over recent years, administrative and regulatory barriers are still a major issue. What are the current major barriers to the development of Russian exports and what economic policy may help to reduce them – these and other issues will be considered at a roundtable discussion. In addition, the results of a survey of Russian exporters, held in 2020 by the New Economic School, will be presented at the roundtable.

Honorary paper L-19-4. Tomasz M. Mickiewicz (Aston University) «Firms, Markets and Institutions: Alternative Theoretical Frameworks» (Joint event of HSE University and European Association for Comparative Economic Studies (EACES))
Moderators: L. Ruzhanskaya (UrFU), A. Yakovlev (HSE University)
Both firms and markets are organisations, and so are institutions. From business and economics perspective the relevant question about organisations relates to transaction costs, and this is the language that can bridge all areas of research on organisations. It also bridges different conceptualisations of institutions in business and economics research: institutional voids, market-supporting institutions, quality of government perspective. Yet transaction costs language fails when we consider informal institutions and culture in particular. The underlying reason is that the way we define human objectives in economics and business may be too narrow.

Invited paper K-20-4. Louis Brennan (Trinity Business School) "Does Decoupling Portend a Deglobalizing Future?"
Moderator: A. Kuznetsov (INION RAN)
This paper questions whether the decoupling that has been observed in the global economy in recent times portends a deglobalizing future. It considers several instances of decoupling that had been in train prior to the pandemic and which in some cases have been exacerbated as a result of the advent of the pandemic. The commentary highlights the pivotal factors that have given rise to the recent decoupling and the ongoing dynamic involving China and the advanced economies particularly the USA. The implications for all firms in terms of their market-seeking, supply-seeking and knowledge-seeking activities are analysed. While decoupling can be considered to signal the early stages of deglobalization, there are also contrary signals to be observed such as in the case of financial flows. The commentary suggests that it may be premature to be anticipating globalization’s demise. Instead, it claims that today’s firms appear to be exposed to more than one standardized global paradigm, whose paradox of global interdependence needs to be more wisely framed as global and local forces, representing a duality of opposites-in-unity in accordance with the Eastern cognitive system of yin-yang balancing. The report includes some results of Brennan's colleague - Alessandra Vecchi.
