The article presents an analysis of the differentiation of wages from the position of identifying the influence of the territorial factor. The study of territorial wages remains relevant for the Russian Federation; features of the regions, the development of certain types of activities in combination with regional features continue to affect differences in earnings. The purpose of the article is to identify the territorial features of wage differentiation. Aggregated data of official statistics and microdata of the Selective observation of population incomes and participation in social programs were used as an information base. The analysis of the data of regional statistics of wages, leaders and outsiders, the level of variation in wages within the federal districts. Due to regional price differences, the analysis takes into account differences in changes in prices and the purchasing power of wages. The emphasis is placed on the possibilities of using Mincer type wage models for individual regions and their comparative analysis based on empirical data. Regression models for leader entities and outsider entities, federal districts and the Russian Federation as a whole have been constructed. Based on the results of the analysis, conclusions are drawn about the sustainability of territorial wage differentiation in Russia. The main differences are manifested in the maximum values of the average wage by subjects, while the minimum values are almost at the same level. When purchasing power is taken into account with the help of a fixed set of consumer goods and services, differences in the remuneration of subjects of leadership and subjects of outsiders are reduced from four to three times. Simulation of the logarithm of wages for all federal districts and the Russian Federation as a whole confirmed a statistically significant influence on factors such as age, level of education, gender of a worker, type of settlement, and membership in a particular socio-professional group. A noticeable reduction in the return on education in federal districts with a low level of average wages was revealed; in such conditions, the employee’s membership in the group of managers becomes the dominant earnings. Attention is focused on increasing cash incomes of the population and wages in regions with special living conditions as a factor in overcoming the outflow of the population from Siberia and the Far East. Further areas of the study of territorial wage differentiation can be expanded by using panel data for each region in the analysis in order to study the dependencies in space and time.

The retrospective epidemiologic analysis of HFRS morbidity carried out from 2001 to 2007 showed that the highest sickness rate was registered in Privolzhsky federal district with 20.4±2.3 average index that exceeded the similar one countrywide 4-fold and the incidence specific weight was 88.0 % of the total number of cases. The indexes of HFRS incidence in the rest 6 dis­tricts were lower than the Russia wide one 3-4-fold and more. During the analyzed period the tendency to increase the HFRS incidence level was observed in Privolzhsky, Ural and Far East districts and in the country.

Objective of the study – assessment of epizootic and epidemic situation on tularemia in 2018 and forecasting the risk of infection in the territory of the Russian Federation in 2019. Analysis of epidemiological situation was carried out on the basis of the data from monitoring activities performed by the Rospotrebnadzor institutions and the data contained in the reports of the Irkutsk Research Anti-Plague Institute of Siberia and Far East, Plague Control Center, Federal Center of Hygiene and Epidemiology, as well as federal statistical survey forms No 5 “Information on preventive vaccination” and No 2 “Information on infectious and parasitic  diseases” over the period of January-December 2018 in eight Federal Districts including 85 constituent entities. Given are the retrospective data on tularemia epidemic situation in the territory of the Russian Federation over the past decade. 1944 human tularemia cases were registered in Russia between 2009 and 2018, 1005 out of which occurred during epidemic outbreak in 2013 in Khanty-Manssiysk Autonomous Region. High sporadic and small cluster incidence was mainly observed in the territories of the North-estern and Siberian Federal Districts over the recent years. In 2018, 71 cases of human infection with tularemia agent were reported. Epizootic manifestations of varying degree of intensity were detected in 52 entities of Russia. Against that background, sporadic cases of human infection were registered in 19 regions of the country. For three years epidemic complications expressed to the maximum were observed in the Omsk Region – 18 cases of tularemia infection, and Karelia – 14 cases, respectively. 15 Francisella tularensis cultures were isolated from ambient  environment objects in Pskov, Leningrad Regions, Altai Territory, Republics of Altai and Tuva. Conclusions have been drawn in relation to the regions where epidemic complications associated with tularemia are most likely to emerge in 2019.

Life expectancy is the most important integral indicator of the level of socio-economic development of the country, region, as well as quality of life of the population. The purpose of the study is to establish characteristics and trends in changes in the indicator of life expectancy in the federal districts of the Russian Federation during the period from 1990 to 2018. Data on life expectancy in the federal districts and the Russian Federation were obtained from the Federal State Statistic Service, Center for Demographic Research of the Russian Economic School. To assess trends in the dynamics in indicators, the authors used one-way linear regression analysis for a time series using standard Excel tools (Microsoft office 2007) and IBM SPSS Statistics 23. Results. There was a gradual increase in the average life expectancy in all federal districts in the period from 2006 to 2018. But the dynamics were less favorable in the eastern macro-regions - Siberia and the Far East. Such differences indicate that the social policy pursued by the Federal government does not sufficiently take into account the regional natural-geographic, socio-economic and other specifics of the Russian regions of Russia (especially the Asian territories of the country). This does not allow to ensure a balanced development of the society in a rational way. The growth rate of life expectancy had slowed down by 2018 and was possibly due to the "accumulation" of negative consequences of the economic crisis in the economy since 2014. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the global financial and economic crisis caused by it, it becomes unlikely that the linear growth of life expectancy in Russia will continue. In this situation, there is a certain systemic uncertainty regarding further course of the socio-demographic processes.

Objective of the review is to characterize the nature of epidemiological situation on HFRS around the world and to conduct a comparative analysis of intensity and dynamics of the epidemiological process in the Russian Federation by Federal Districts, as well as make forecast for 2020. The analysis of the epidemiological situation is based on the materials of the official websites of healthcare organizations in the USA and Europe, WHO, the data from operational monitoring carried out by the reference center for HFRS monitoring “Kazan Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology”, materials provided by the Rospotrebnadzor Institutions in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The analysis included all administrative territories of the Russian Federation. Statistical processing was carried out by standard methods of variation statistics applying Excel software. The epidemiological situation on hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome around the world and in Russia remains tense. In the Russian Federation, epidemically active foci are located in the European part of the country, in Western Siberia and in the Far East. Infections over the period of 2010–2019 were registered in 8 federal districts of the Russian Federation, in 58 constituent entities. However, the incidence distribution across the territory of the country was differential. In 97 % of the cases, the incidence was recorded in the European part of Russia. In the Volga Federal District, HFRS incidence amounted to 82.16 % of the total incidence recorded on the whole in Russia. High incidence rates are also recorded in the Central Federal District (CFD). Over the past 10 years (2010–2019), there has been an increase in the incidence of HFRS in the Central and North-West Federal Districts, and a decrease in the incidence in the Ural and Far Eastern Federal Districts. Varying degree of anthropogenic impact on the natural HFRS foci and climate change manifested in increased ambient air temperatures are of great importance for the spread of HFRS over the past decade. At the end of the review the forecast of the development of the epidemiological situation on HFRS in the Russian Federation for 2020 is presented.

This paper deal with problem of estimation the impact of VAT increase on consumer price dynamics in certain regions. We follow a general methodology for assessing the effects of some economic indicators on others using econometric modeling, but with a number of methodological improvements. We carry out a quantitative assessment using a dynamic econometric model of dependence of the consumer price index (CPI) on the growth rate of VAT tax burden, which was calculated based on data from Rosstat and the Federal Tax Service of Russia. An additional factor of the model is the level of socio-economic situation of the Russian regions, represented as the total score of each region in the integrated rating developed by the RIA Rating Agency. The obtained results indicate that an increase of VAT tax burden contributes to an increase of consumer prices in the Far Eastern regions. Moreover, the magnitude of the effect is not the same everywhere. According to our forecasts, the largest increase in prices for various groups of goods and services in 2020 should be expected in the Kamchatka Territory, Khabarovsk Territory and the Magadan Region. In 2020, inflation here may amount to 11.4%, 8.3% and 7.3%, respectively, exceeding the value set as the upper limit of 4%. To solve this problem, we propose to establish the percentage of VAT deductions to the regional budgets and to provide regional authorities with the authority to manage the VAT rate to be credited to these budgets. The results of the study can be used in the activities of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation and the Bank of Russia in making forecasts of inflation, as well as in the activities of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation in the development of amendments to existing tax legislation.

The article is meant to analyze current problems and prospects for the development of effective tax policy as part of digital transformation of Russian economy. Introduction of a digital tax and the consequences of the digital tax reforms in the EU, the USA and OECD countries are highlighted. The necessity of qualitative transformation of the tax system of the Russian Federation in response to modern challenges is substantiated, taking into account the changes of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation adopted at the end of July 2020. The authors suggested their own concept of a digital tax and the prospects for its adoption in Russia, and consider it inappropriate to impose taxes on Internet users who do not use the Internet for business. Today, the main focus should be made on creating and testing effective technologies that allow on-line monitoring the tax basis of digital economy entities, taking into account the cross-border movement or use of digital products (goods and services). In addition, it would be extremely important to provide for a potential tax exemption for part of the profits of international ICT companies that are received on the territory of the Russian Federation and reinvested in joint with Russian companies projects in the high-tech for civil purposes area.

Development institutions are an important modern instrument of government regulation of the economy in all developed countries. The system of development institutions of the Russian Federation includes the federal and regional development institutions. Key federal development institutions include such well-known state corporations as the investment fund of the Russian Federation; the State Corporation "Bank for Development and Foreign Economic Activity (Vnesheconombank)"; the state corporation "Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies," etc. According to experts of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, about 200 regional development institutions operate on the territory of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The objectives of this extensive system of development institutions so far have been to overcome the so-called "market failures," which cannot be optimally realized by the market mechanisms, and to promote the sustained economic growth of a country or an individual region. In November 2020, the Government of the Russian Federation announced the reform of the system of development institutions in the country. The article analyzes the goals and main directions of the announced reform. On the example of the system of development institutions of the Far East, an attempt was made to assess its possible consequences.
