The article deals with Moscow University academics who played an important role in establishing the Moscow Commercial Institute (at present the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics). When 'University Liberties' were eliminated in 1910-1911 a group of prominent scientists of Moscow University abandoned their offices and continued lecturing and researching in the first economics institution in Russia. In this way we can observe a persistent link between the two educational institutions. Academics and graduates of Moscow University working in the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics have made a great contribution to training professionals for economy of the country, to the development of Russian science.

The results of studying mathematics in higher school form for researchers the foundation for the development of science and for users, including economists - the instrument for decision-making. The development of science brings new subjects to the education system, which causes the reduction of time for traditional subjects, including mathematics. The local use of information technologies cannot enable us to reach a major target of education, i. e. the development of logical thinking. The article puts forward a system approach ensuring a conformity between cognitive technologies in mathematical education of economists and information technologies used in education. The authors show that this approach must be based on monitoring the parity between the mentioned technologies in order to update the ground of sums and tasks, as well as structure, content and methods of delivering the material.

The article provides a critical assessment of the current structure of the federal budget in conditions of passive economic policy in Russia. Problematic aspects of the draft federal budget 2016 were analyzed in the context of growing adverse trends in Russian economy. Special attention was paid to the assessment of the new format of the draft federal budget 2016, its balancing in conditions of cyclic slump and recommendations aimed at intensifying anti-recession impact of the federal budget on Russian economy.

Recommendations were offered on structuring budget expenses by the duration of their economic effects and role in stimulating economic activity.

The article discusses methodological issues of designing the imitation model for identifying the level of balanced debt of Russian banks' borrowers. The imitation model advanced by the author gives an opportunity to take into account the impact of uncertain factors of the environment on economy and banking business and to find disproportions in the banking system to take steps for their elimination. Calculations made by the author with the help of the said model show growing processes of deleverage in the private sector. At the same time the balanced level of client debt to banks can reduce by 6-10 trillion rubles without interest rate and foreign currency re-estimation in conditions of oil prices going lower than 40USD per barrel.

The article deals with the issue of forecasting the dynamics of the interest rate of the European Central Bank as a central bank whose activity aims at supporting price stability and whose interest rate is an indicator showing the direction of monetary and credit policy.

Budget policy is a multisided notion. Functioning of bodies of state power and realization of tasks facing society and state depend on the availability of funds and tax policy, identifying a share of profit in the country GDP and priorities of budget expenditure. One element of budget policy is budget expenditure performance, which stipulates the necessity to control the efficiency of budget expenses on the part of society. To improve the efficiency of using national resources and to manage by results we should design a system of target indicators and figures to control the efficiency of budget expenditure. The article discusses aspects of managing risks of using national resources as a line of raising the efficiency of budget expenditure. The author substantiates the proposal to raise the quality of state finance control as a method of enhancing the efficiency of budget expenses.

The article researches methods of measuring unobserved economy. The methods being analyzed are based on statistics of households, the method of factual employment, expert method, etc. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages and unfortunately cannot provide full characteristics of unobserved economy indicators. The author comes to the conclusion about the necessity to develop a common methodology for assessing shadow economy in order to come closer to the exact estimation of GDP and other macro-economic figures, to find the concealed share of the real sector of economy and to identify the scale of country 'shadowing'. True information about the shadow share of economy can help to take measures to normalize Russian economy.

The article deals with problems of sports economics, in particular with legal and finance and economic forms of doing business in game sports. The author investigates alternative forms of arranging sports competitions, which could be well-adapted to market principles and would be built on the concept of state-private partnership as the most efficient form of combining public interests. The author puts forward a market model of establishing the national professional league of handball, which could be applied in other sports as well.

The article investigates the influence of one parameter of bond, i. e. due date on its interest risk. This problem for long-term bonds has not been fully studied in theory. Two ways of solving the problem of affecting the bond interest risk by the due date were compared. To do this the results were used that had been obtained by the author through solving tasks about the dependence of Macaulay duration on the due date and relative changes in the bond price. In both cases the task was solved in conditions of certainty with horizontal nature of time structure of interest rates and parallel shifting. For these tasks theorems of digital rows and differentiated functions were applied. The comparison of two ways of solving the task shows similarity of results, which makes it possible to specify the dependence of the interest risk on the due date for long-term bonds.

Heavy influence of warmth on a person who deals with thermal treatment of products at public catering enterprises can cause serious impact on his/her health and can result in occupational diseases. By approximation of earlier experimental data equations were found, which give an opportunity to identify the limits of the zone with inadmissible temperatures for heating equipment depending on the distance from the device and temperature of the air. Approximation of experimental data was done by exponential, linear and poly-nominal dependences.

The article analyzes the prospects of developing integration processes within the frames of the Eurasian Economic Union. Topicality of this problem can be explained by complicated economic situation within which common markets of goods, capital and labour are formed, availability of institutional barriers to integration, low competitiveness of economies that unite on the global market. Resource potential of EAEU is investigated, trade links between country-members are analyzed, promising cooperation projects are considered. On the basis of such analysis a conclusion is made about a clear dominance of Russia as a central link of the Union not only by absolute indicators (supply of resources and output) but by the share in trade balance of partners, volumes of direct investment and positions in value chains. The authors show that barriers on the way of effective integration are formed not only by objective difficulties of combining heterogeneous economics but by mistakes in managing integration processes, in particular poor use of software-target approach, mistakes in goal-setting, ignoring the current problems of balancing budget-taxation and cash-credit policies.

Until recently Russian policy for the European Union (EU) differed in uncertainty: on the one hand, the EU was perceived as one of many democratic institutes of Europe which also Russia by an example of the majority of the European countries could enter, with another - process of the European integration was perceived as the phenomenon minor in the Russian policy as traditionally Russia was guided by the bilateral relations with the European states, first of all with Germany, France and Great Britain which were perceived as worthy partners for dialogue.
