Abstract: Migration policy is an object of studies for many sciences, such as the social studies, demography, history, psychology, etc. The goal of this article is to evaluate the migration policy as an object of sociological analysis. The author formed a structural and logical scheme for the sociological analysis of migration policy. He also provides the classification and characteristics for the key types of sociological approaches to the analysis of migration policy.

Abstract: The author analyzes the topical issues regarding introduction of the investment project in the wood market. The author classifies the investment projects based on their scale, he pays attention to the high degree of risk as a characteristic features for the wood market investment projects. Taking into account the importance of analysis of the investment project in the wood market from the point of view of the influence of their implementation onto the domestic and foreign market (financial, of material products and services, labor markets), as well as on environmental and social situation, one should imagine the scale classification as follows: the global investment project, the large-scale investment projects, the regional investment projects, including the city investment projects and the branch investment projects, and the local investment projects.

The author analyzes the causes for the existence of the offshore zones and the directions of their modern location. The author also studies the reason why the offshore zones in Russia are underdeveloped, and based on the analysis of foreign experience, he offers a new organizational and legal approach to the improvement of the offshore zones in Russia.

Abstract: The article focuses on the choice of method adequate to quantify the level of risk of financial assets portfolio. The author analyzes the basic methods of calculating Value at Risk and provides characteristics of the measures of risks under study and classification of methods to assess them. The author consistently studies the methods of «full assessment» (the method of historical simulation and Monte-Carlo method) and «local evaluation» (parametric technique) and presents basic principles of implementation of the methods, formulas for calculating Value at Risk, requirements to initial values, predictive capabilities and accuracy characteristics of the methods. The study draws conclusions on the possible use of various implementations of methods for calculating Value at Risk for the purpose of analyzing various portfolios of financial assets and various types of financial risks (market risk, credit risk). The author mentions the necessity of further development of the method of local evaluation not sensitive to the nature of distribution of the stochastic variable.

Keywords: Value at Risk, historical, parametric, Monte Carlo method, approximation function, pseudo-random number generator, method of visual simulation.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the nature and value of evaluating the financial stability of enterprise in the conditions of instability. Evaluation of financial stability allows the outer subjects of analysis to define the financial capabilities of the organization in the long-term perspective. It is the most reasonable to establish the criteria for the evaluation based on the structure of current assets of enterprises and their established medium values.

Keywords: financial stability, conditions of instability, improvement of evaluation methods, industrial enterprise, financial situation.

Abstract: The article is devoted to economic mathematical methods for the risk identification. The author establishes the criteria for the recognition of venture investment risks for the entrepreneurial structures, as well as the limitations of use of venture capital for the financing of innovative projects. The methodology of risk identification for the venture investment in entrepreneurial structures is based upon the use of economic and mathematical methods, which may be divided into the methods of solving direct and inverse problems, as well as sensitivity studies.

Abstract: The goal of this study is to form propositions for the development of the space activities of the Russian Federation in the long-term perspective. The analysis of tendencies in the development of space technologies and the perspectives of space programs of the leading world powers shows that the Russian space plans are falling behind them. It seems reasonable to complement the longterm space activity strategy of Russia with the following topical goals: formation of the new maximally efficient space transportation system, which would allow to lower the costs of bringing the valuables to the low orbit to 1500 – 2000 USD per kilo. Having an efficient STS, one may start the industrial use of the circum-terrestrial space; development and production of the heavy and super-heavy launch vehicles over the 40 tons, as well as the interplanetary space vehicles for the new STS over the limits of the low orbits in the near future; formation for the large sputnik platforms at the geo-stationary orbits with the use of STS in order to solve the applied problems of military and civilian nature, as well as fundamental studies of the Moon, the Mars and the closest asteroids; development and production of the technical means for the use of the STS in order to change the trajectory of asteroids in case of threat of their collision with the Earth, which may lead to the global catastrophe. The implementation of the ambitious program by Russia can guarantee the innovative breakout to the new technologies, which in turn shall facilitate the successful transition of the economics of our state to the 6th technological mode.

Abstract: Unlike the goods, the services have some specific features, which have to be taken into account. These specific features are due to the fact that the services are not material and cannot be preserved. The customer cannot see and evaluate the service before he purchases it, since the sale of service comes before its provision. That is why the choice of customer is based on trust towards the person providing services. The modern companies do not limit their business to the main sphere of activity, and they provide additional services both for the clients and for their own needs. For example, the production companies provide service support to their products, the transportation companies have their own warehouse and the electric stations start selling the electric energy. Additionally, many companies purchase exterior assets, which do not directly relate to the sphere of their basic activity.
