The paper examines the relationship between the individual components of officially registered non-payments-overdue accounts receivable of enterprises, tax arrears and wage arrears. The unsteadiness of the series of these values is revealed. A number of hypotheses about the causes of non-payments and their impact on the development of the country's economy are considered. It is concluded that the main long-term factor of the continuing accumulation of debt (non-payments) in the Russian economy is the insufficient development of the institutional environment. |

A differentiated product market model using the Hotelling approach is proposed. The structure of demand of the differentiated product is defined. The structure of demand and social welfare are investigated by the method of simulation modeling. The sources of growth and loss of public welfare; the market as a public good; "market failures"; external effects of fair advertising and the paradox of Hotelling associated with the growth of profits of the duopoly with the growth of transport costs of the consumer are considered. The criteria of the manufacturer's decisions on differentiation are considered. On the example of production of one and two variants of a product the comparison of public welfare and its components at various target functions of the producer is carried out: maximization of profit and maximization of public welfare. |
