Karelian economists assessed changes in the efficiency of production and economic activities in the process of green transition
The ratio between economic efficiency and fairness in the process of green transformation of industries is recognized as a fundamental problem of the 21st century. Environmental actions involve financial losses. To ensure fairness, tax incentives, state and municipal guarantees and subsidies are needed. This was the topic covered in this KarRC RAS Learned Council session by Valentina Karginova-Gubinova, Senior Researcher at the Department of Regional Economic Policy, Institute of Economics KarRC RAS.

The income level of residents and the age of the settlement head influence the use of social media by local authorities
Digital inequality disadvantages many groups of people. This is especially evident when comparing the digitalization of large cities vs villages. However, this phenomenon has hardly if at all been studied at the level of individual districts and settlements. Specialists at the Institute of Economics KarRC RAS are working on ways to measure the digital divide at the municipal level by examining the extent to which social networks are used for communication between the authorities and citizens.

A study by scientists from KarRC RAS helping to analyze the traffic situation in Petrozavodsk
Mathematicians from the Karelian Research Centre RAS are working on the Petrozavodsk City traffic model. It will enable researchers and authorities to analyze how temporary street closures, new bypasses, tunnels and bridges will affect the traffic situation. Scientists study the road situation using game-theoretic mathematical methods, searching for optimal strategies for car drivers, transport operators and public transport passengers.
