National Wealth Distribution in the Growth Model with an Endogenous Discount Rate
Some consequences of an increase in government debt and introducing various social insurance systems in the growth model with an endogenous discount rate are discussed in the article. The comparative analysis of different steady-state equilibria is presented. The theoretical analysis has been carried out for the arbitrary types of production and utility functions; therefore the approach proposed is rather common and can be used for a wide class of similar problems. The results of numeric calculations are presented.
Keywords: steady-state equilibrium; Sraffian indeterminacy; government debt; social insurance system.

Simple Exchange Model: J. Nash’s «Ideal Money»
John Nash’s conception of «ideal money» is analysed in the framework of an extended simple exchange model. Nash criteria of the internal and external stability of the value of «ideal money» are revealed. These criteria are formalized as a problem of the minimization of the volatility of the normalized indices of exchange value of aggregate goods. The decision of the problem allows constructing the stable aggregate goods (e.g. aggregate currencies). Some possible applications of such stable aggregates are pointed out in the article.
Keywords: conception of «ideal money»; extended simple exchange model; stable aggregate economic good.

Rational Xenophobia: Predictable Results and Unexpected Consequences
The article studies a model with a politician, managing a diverse crowd, which (the crowd) under certain conditions can get out of his control because of the emotional component of xenophobia (in the model to reflect the emotional plume we use the notion of hysteresis). The authors show that a farsighted politician who takes into account this possible outcome would not be raising the level of xenophobia in a society too high. This means that in the absence of strong competitors he almost always wins the election. And only a democratic society, thus allowing competitors to appear, deliberately deprives him of this possibility, dissipating his efforts to attract voters.
Keywords: xenophobia; political-economic approach; politician; hysteresis; emotions.

Economics of the Development of «Ethnical» Small Businesses in the Presence of a priori Prejudices
The modeling of the development paths of ethnical small businesses is considering in the article. The model, which describes the dynamics of the development of business depending on the group reputation of ethnical group, is used for analysis. The author investigates the small business in an area of Moscow region by the example of construction brigades that are organized on the basis of ethnical groups. In spite of the fact that group reputation of these brigades was initially low, such business has been developing successfully during the last years. The existed dynamic models of similar ethnical business with low group reputation bode getting into a reputation trap which does not allow them to progress and does not help in strengthening the group reputation. However, that contradicts the observations of the author. The «market exhaustion» of supportive principals is modeled with the instant jump in the threshold of the group reputation.
Keywords: ethnic group; group reputation; individual reputation; dynamic model of growth; reputation trap; supportive principals.

Possible Modifications of the Indices of Innovation Activity
The article is devoted to the problem of the measurement of the level of innovation activity in a country. The article deals with the indices that show the relationship between the existing socio-economic system and the intensity of innovation production. The information derived from these indices is analyzed in the article. The problems of the calculation of theese indices are discussed.
Keywords: innovations; business activity; domestic expenditure on research and development; high tech.
