RUDN Professor speaks about the impact of exogenous shocks on financing innovative projects at an international conference in Poland
The expert described the study of investors' behavior under the influence of exogenous shocks, i.e. such changes in the international economy, which do not depend on the country's economic policy. "On the example of the Russian practice of implementing innovative projects, we have calculated how changing the level of world prices for major exported or imported goods can influence the investors’ behavior," noted the professor.

Landfills are the third largest source of anthropogenic methane in the world. They account for ~11% of estimated global emissions. Methane is 80 times more powerful than carbon dioxide and is the second largest driver of man-made climate change. Scientists from around the world met at Zhejiang University's Hangzhou campus to determine the best available technologies for recovering energy and materials from non-recyclable residual waste.
