Annotation: The aim of the article is to study the role of development and identify the main directions of solutions to environmental and technical problems of the Northern Sea Route in the economic activity of the Russian Federation. The article reveals the main strategic ways to promote international cooperation and highly efficient provision of national, regional economy and foreign economic activity. The article analyzes the development of the Arctic transport system, which will not only meet the needs of cargo transportation within the country, but also form a transit corridor between countries. The project of the transport system of the Northern Sea Route (hereinafter the NSR) development and its implementation, which has important geopolitical and economic importance for our country, is studied in detail. Since Russia has access to 3 oceans and 12 seas, thus connecting our country with many countries of the world, and due to the growth trend of international container shipping, there is a need to improve the technology of cargo transportation. The actual problems connected with realization of transit potential, with complicated ice conditions, shallow waters and insufficiency in hydrographic survey of the seabed structure, which do not allow the vessels to move along any routes convenient for them, are considered. The article concludes that the problems of the Northern Sea Route require new, technological solutions to reduce risks and increase the effectiveness of the NSR.

Annotation: The main principle of the state tariff policy is to ensure a satisfaction balance of the economic interests of all electricity market participants. On the one hand, the sustainable financial condition of default electricity suppliers should be ensured. On the other hand, the retail markups growth of default electricity suppliers should not exceed the target parameters of socio-economic development set by state institutions, especially in terms of controlling inflationary processes within the target level. One of the ways to achieve a balance of interests was yardstick regulation methods. In 2018, the FAS Russia introduced a benchmarking comparative method to impose setting default electricity suppliers retail markups (one of the types of reference regulation). Evaluation of the first results of the implementation of this method was the aim of this article. As part of the assessment, the authors examined existing scientific experience. The result of this study was the identified lack of research on the impact of the new pricing model on participants, primarily retail electricity markets. The authors set the task of comprehensively assessing the results of the initial stage of applying the yardstick pricing principles in relation to the default electricity suppliers activities regulation. As part of this work, the authors analyzed the impact of the introduction of yardstick regulation on the default electricity suppliers operating results, the financial condition of this electricity sector, and the pay level in the electricity markets. The authors also identified the main yardstick regulation application problems in relation to default electricity suppliers and suggested ways to solve them. These conclusions can become the basis for refining the benchmarking comparative method of default electricity suppliers and for testing new regulatory rules when expanding the method to new areas of regulation.

Annotation: The article studies the features of the effectiveness of the organization fixed assets use analysis based on classical methodological approaches. Their shortcomings and problems of application are identified. Based on the analysis of data from PJSC “Kirovskiy Zavod” for 2019–2021 the necessity of using the methods of economic and mathematical modeling in the process of assessing the effectiveness of the organization fixed assets use is substantiated. As a result of the study, an author’s approach to assessing the integral coefficient of efficiency in the use of fixed assets of an organization is proposed. Approbation of the proposed approach was carried out on the database of PJSC “Kirovskiy Zavod”. The proposed system of indicators is quite clear and justified, since it reflects the effectiveness of the functioning of the fixed assets of the enterprise from its different sides and allows you to see what you need to pay attention to in the first place. The practical use of the proposed algorithm for calculating the integral coefficient of effici ency in the use of fixed assets of an organization will allow us not only to assess the level of fixed assets use in a particular enterprise, but also to provide an information base for a comparative analysis of industrial enterprises, as well as compiling their rating.

Annotation: The article contains analysis of the real situation in the banking sector on the example of monopoly corporations, reveals the dynamics of their development, diagnoses “weak” points, and also identifies effective ways to improve the activities of corporations in the banking sector.

Annotation: The article describes the economic and social factors of the emergence of rental income and traces the historical processes that contributed to the forming of the system of redistribution of rental income to the public sector of the economy. The article describes how the forming of the institution of the state contributed to the fact that the rental income began to be systematically extracted by economic agents. The definitions given by different authors to the concept of “social sector” are presented, the lack of consistency of existing definitions is found. It is also revealed that the defining characteristics of the social sector are, first, its focus on the creation and distribution of public goods, and second, that different ways of redistributing income received in other sectors of the economy dominate among the methods of financing the public sector. Special attention is paid to the role of patronage and charity institutions in the system of rent redistribution, which is assessed as important, and the degree of integration of this institution into the system is recognized as insufficient for nowadays. The results of the study are applicable in developing areas for reforming the mechanisms of strategic partnership between the state and private economic agents owning rent.

Annotation: The article describes the progress in decision-making in recent decades associated with the development of a wide range of tools used primarily in the process of managerial activity. However, this progress is associated, in particular, with well-structured quantitative solutions, and to a lesser extent with qualitative solutions that are less accurate and structured. The first part of this study describes the complex and constantly changing situation in modern organizations, which makes it difficult or even impossible to make decisions in accordance with the rational decision-making model. As a result, managers are forced to rely on their intuitive abilities, which allow them to use new perspectives and approaches in solving problems, which is reflected in the second part of the article. The main conclusion of this study is that when making managerial decisions, a manager should not only make analytical calculations, but also rely on his experience and intuition.
