Aim. The study of the prospects for the use of digital financial assets in the Russian Federation, as well as the justification of their advantages and disadvantages.Tasks. Determination of the essence and types of digital financial assets, the study of foreign experience of their use by different states; justification of the legal status of the digital ruble, analysis of it as a new form of national currency, including the history of its development; identification of problems, prospects for digital financial assets and description of proposed models for the implementation of the digital ruble.Methods. The study uses systematic and logical approaches, general scientific methods with the use of methods of comparative, economic and financial analysis.Results. The trends in the use of digital assets in the financial system of the Russian Federation, as well as the step-by-step process of their introduction in the payment turnover of the economies of different countries are considered. The typology of financial assets by issuers, forms, availability and technology is given. The growth of the market capitalization of cryptocurrencies in 2015-2023 is shown. The prospects for the use of digital financial assets in Russia are determined. As part of the concept of digital ruble in its implementation, the process of using different models is described.Conclusions. Digital financial assets based on blockchain technology can be used to bypass traditional financial systems and banking institutions. Therefore, a fundamentally new approach can be taken in the field of monetary circulation when introducing cryptocurrencies. Due to the fact that cryptocurrency, having significant advantages over traditional payment solutions, is gaining popularity every year, exponential growth in the market capitalization of cryptocurrencies in 2015-2023 is shown. The establishment of prospects for the use of cryptocurrencies in Russia allowed us to determine that one of the main advantages of the digital ruble is the ability to accelerate and simplify the payment process. The introduction of digital ruble can lead to increased transparency, security of financial transactions and generally become a significant step in the development of the economy of the Russian Federation. However, according to the author’s position, all aspects and risks associated with this process should be carefully considered. There should be broad public support and openness. The digital ruble is intended to be a substitute for paper money, which cannot be traced in the “gray zone” of the economy. Unlike conventional cryptocurrencies, which are not tied to a company or a country, national cryptocurrencies have a clear framework of circulation: only within the country in which they are created. At the same time, the formation of a legal framework will make the process of implementation of digital financial assets more transparent and accessible for understanding and further use.

Aim. To identify the key stages and features of the development of logistics paradigms, as well as to justify the place and role of technology in their evolution.Tasks. To determine the main reasons for evolutionary changes in the development of logistics at different stages of its history in the context of technological development; to identify general patterns and key stages in the development of logistics paradigms; to characterize the features of each paradigm, including principles, tools and logistics concepts.Methods. In this article, using general scientific methods, as well as systemic, comparative and historical approaches, the features of the development and change of logistic paradigms, taking into account the factors of their evolution, are revealed.Results. The stages of evolution of logistic paradigms are systematized. It is shown that the most important reasons and conditions that triggered the changes in logistic approaches were technological changes. The conclusion about combining analytical and informational logistic paradigms in the production paradigm, reflecting the possibility of using information technology for modeling logistic processes, has been substantiated. It has been proved that the current stage in the evolution of logistic paradigms is determined by the spread of so-called end-to-end technologies (big data, artificial intelligence, etc.) to the field of logistics, which defines a new logistic paradigm as digital. The results of the study can be used to develop new approaches and concepts in logistics, increase the efficiency of logistics processes and improve the quality of services provided to consumers.Conclusions. The main reasons for evolutionary changes in the development of logistics and the change of logistics paradigms are new economic challenges and technological development, which creates opportunities for improving the efficiency of logistics systems under new conditions. The change of each logistic paradigm is a natural process of evolution, which is associated primarily with the accumulation of knowledge and the development of new technologies that create new opportunities for improving the efficiency of logistic systems.

In this paper, we explore the effect of revenue-sharing contracts between ports and shipping lines to counter the negative effects of parallel shipping alliances. We consider a vertical structure approach formed by port-shipping line chains, where ports are considered the upstream market, while shipping lines are the downstream market. Then, we propose the vertical integration of both chains as a solution to the loss of welfare because of the shipping alliance. We find that when ports may influence the downstream markets, welfare increases, and it is a proper ports response that port horizontal cooperation.

Aim. To identify the features of the global energy transition at the international level and assess the feasibility of its implementation in the given timeframe, taking into account available data on the financial resources allocated for this purpose.Tasks. To analyze the main trends in the global energy market in the modern conditions, putting an emphasis on the post-COVID period, to identify the main factors influencing the financing of the energy transition at the international level and the amount of investment necessary to achieve the goals of “net zero”.Methods. The study analyzed statistical data from representative sources of Goldman Sachs, BloombergNEF, LevelTen Energy, IRENA, Climate Bonds Initiative and others, which made it possible to identify current and longer-term (2008-2023) trends emerging in the global energy market.Results. The global energy transition process appears to be long-term, despite what has already been achieved in the global energy sector, as well as digitalization incentives and opportunities. This restructuring could prove beneficial for both alternative and conventional energy sources. In order to analyze the current situation and identify trends in the global energy market, the main influencing factors are highlighted: high fossil fuel prices, accelerated implementation of environmental technologies, cheaper clean technologies, and reorientation of energy supplies. This trend was evident in developed countries even before the COVID-19 pandemic and is spreading to more and more states, including developing ones. However, the financial resources currently allocated for its implementation are insufficient, which may result in failure to reach the zero goal by the target date of 2050.Conclusions. The findings of this study have confirmed the intensified use of renewable and alternative energy sources, which is generally consistent with the goals of the global energy transition. It revealed a significant influence of the political factor, as well as such factors as safety, costs and environmental friendliness. It is concluded that more funding is needed, especially in the sectors that are difficult to reduce emissions (cement production, steel production). There is a need for investment in renewable energy (RE) not only in developing countries, but also in developed countries. Since it is a question of creating reliable long-term access to clean energy, the solution to the global energy transition trilemma requires intensified investment in renewable energy and the expansion of sustainable financing at the international level in general.

The need to optimize the historically high operating costs of the banks and the importance of ordering disparate databases to support the management decision making has been confirmed. One of the variants for solving these problems is implementation of digital twin technology by banks, which is implemented primarily in replacing physical processes with digital ones (credit conveyors, automated modules of account opening by companies, borrower and project monitoring systems, business analytics systems, antifraud monitoring, etc.). Examples were identified and expert opinions were obtained confirming high efficiency of this technology and its elements which in its turn defines its perspectives against the background of intense competition on the banking market. The key factors of implementation are determined: optimization of banks’ operational business processes, improving the quality of modeling and stress testing. Shortage of qualified specialists in IT sphere, lack of Russian analogues of software and equipment, high cost of implementing technological solutions, departure of foreign developers and integrators from the Russian market were singled out as the most significant problems, associated with the technology implementation. The majority of respondents point to the inevitability of progress, but condition the final decisions based on the formed practice of implementation. It was determined that, given the significant costs of the complex implementation of digital twin technology, it is currently appropriate for banks to focus on individual processes, tasks.Conclusions. The use of digital twins as an integrated multifactor model based on modern digital technology in banking improves the efficiency of bank controlling, customer service and ensures the reduction of the cost of business processes. It is this concept, using modern technological solutions, will contribute to the replacement of a number of physical processes by virtual ones, which will affect the cost of operations and provide banks with direct economic effect.

Aim. To investigate the forms of non-standard employment that have a positive impact on the ecology, the environment and contribute to the formation of a “green” economy, as well as the criteria for selecting “green” jobs.Tasks. To identify and characterize forms of non-standard employment that have a positive impact on the ecology and the environment; to assess the main directions of their positive and negative impact on the environment, as well as on the social sphere and quality of life of workers; to develop assessment criteria for “green” jobs; to offer a set of recommendations necessary for the successful transformation of the labor market towards the “green” economy.Methods. The authors used system and comparative analysis, analysis of statistical indicators, sociological methods (questioning).Results. The transformation of the employment sphere under the influence of the development of green economy is manifested in the creation of “green” jobs and the development of nonstandard forms of employment (freelancing, distance employment, virtual employment), which have a positive impact on the environment. This changes the social status and quality of life of workers. These changes can be not only positive (increased employment opportunities for socially vulnerable groups, lower unemployment in depressed regions of the country; lower risks of injuries due to traffic accidents; the possibility of attracting workers with the required competencies to labor-deficient regions; the opportunity to choose more interesting and wellpaid work), but also negative (the need to form digital competencies for successful employment; risk of social isolation; o Positive influence prevails. According to sociological research, the number of workers who work in non-standard employment forms that contribute to the “green” transition is increasing. At the same time in Russia the number of remote workers, freelancers and virtual workers, as well as the number of “green” jobs is not taken into account on a national scale.Conclusions. The lack of statistical information on the number of “green” jobs and the number of workers who work in forms of employment that contribute to the “green transition” significantly complicates the possibilities of labor market regulation and the development of measures to support socially vulnerable groups of workers, as well as organizations that create “green” jobs. In order to successfully transform the labor market towards a green transition, it is necessary to keep statistical records of green jobs based on selected criteria; to develop green job evaluation indicators to assess the impact on the environment, the economy of the organization and the country as a whole, the health and the working capacity of citizens who work in such jobs; to annually analyze the status of green jobs and jobs to be transformed into green jobs in individual organizations and sectors of the eco-industry.

Aim. To determine the breadth of application of digital twins in the automotive industry in Russia and abroad, and to compare the level of implementation of innovative technology in production.Tasks. To consider the general issues of digitalization of the automotive industry and the tools by which it is carried out, including such a tool as a digital twin; to characterize the problem issues that need to be solved in the production of cars with digital twins; based on the analysis of examples of digital twins in the automotive industry in Russia and foreign countries to show the level of technology development and advantages of its use.Methods. The objectives were solved by using empirical research methods, in particular based on the study of various sources of information, including the scientific works of researchers, as well as the analysis of the data obtained with subsequent conclusions.Results. Along with many other effective tools of digitalization, the digital twin helps enterprises from the automotive industry to reach a new technological level of development, optimizing production processes and increasing the competitiveness of manufactured products and companies. There are several facets of digital twin technology that enable critical tasks at every stage of vehicle design, production and testing, while reducing time and material costs. The technology is gradually beginning to be used in leading car manufacturing companies, both in Russia and abroad. Especially effective is the use of digital twins in the production of electric cars.Conclusions. Digital twins serve as an effective tool for the digitalization of the automotive industry, allowing to reduce costs and time spent on product development and production, as well as on various vehicle tests. In addition, due to the use of technology, manufacturers have the opportunity to identify new ways to improve products, expand the model range, and improve safety and comfort for customers. Due to these advantages, the technology is actively being introduced in the production of foreign and domestic cars. However, in the absence of all necessary resources in Russia, the production of cars using digital twins is not as active as in other countries.
