The Economic Model of Xenophobia Manipulation
We present a partial equilibrium theoretical model of a phenomena that is widely discussed in socio-economic literature, but has not been yet studied with economic modeling tools — political provocation, used by politicians in power, who see the only way to keep the power in raising violence in the society. Such violence, as it is known from history, is easy to generate on the basis of xenophobic prejudice.
Keywords: xenophobia; political-economic approach; politician; emotions; partial equilibrium

Stock Market and Targeting Х (М) — X (GDP): a Mega-regulator Case.
Based on the 52-year U.S. statistics, it was shown that there is a strong positive relationship between the integral stock market index and the excess money supply calculated as the difference between M2 growth rate and nominal GDP growth rate. It was also shown that explosive fluctuations of that part of the money supply is not only predictable, but also controlled by the monetary authorities. This conclusion could be the basis of a new approach to the mega-regulator monetary policy implementation.
Keywords: money supply; stock index; GDP; financial instability; financial bubbles; targeting; monetary policy; mega-regulator.

Budget Instruments for Economical Equity of Regions
A concept of horizontal and vertical economic equality is given. The relationship between the object and purpose of economic alignment is represented. Variants of usage of tax on personal income are considered for the economic alignment. It is suggested that introduction of differentiated by region progressive scale tax on personal income in parallel with the non-taxable minimum and the «negative» transfers will facilitate to the economic alignment. It is concluded that goals of simultaneously horizontal and vertical alignment are attainable, and the possibility of establishing differentiated economic conditions within the unified logic is possible.

Assessing the Impact of Pre-school Educational Institutions on Employment of Russian Mothers
In this paper, using the RLMS data for 2000−2009 we investigate the link between mothers' employment and the use of preschools. We estimate the effect of preschool on employment separately for children before the age of 3 years and from 3 to 7 years taking into account possible endogeneity of the preschool use. We show that the use of preschools increases the probability of be employed for mothers. This suggests that an increase in the number of available places in preschools will rise the women' employment rate.
Keywords: mothers' labor supply; preschools; RLMS.

The Development of the Depreciation Theory in Germany
The difference between balance sheet and cost-accounting depreciation was rationalized by German accounting practice in the first quarter of the 20th century. This difference was revealed due to both the advances of the costing theory and the undertaken research into the deprecia- tion-versus- inflation, in the course of which the accounting experts were to answer the following questions: if the challenge for depreciation is to have sufficient accumulated assets against new replacement cost or if depreciation is to be calculated regardless of price rises; if the formation of imaginary (fictitious) profit due to growing depreciation caused by deterioration of the purchasing value of money; if production costs should include increased depreciation estimates.
Keywords: depreciation equivalents; balance sheet depreciation; cost-accounting depreciation; imaginary (fictitious) profit.
