Identification and Forecasting of Credit Cycles in Russia
The paper studies relation between credit cycles for different credit indicators and business cycle and its components' cycles (consumption, investment, government purchases) aiming at finding credit booms and forecasting change of tendency for the corresponding component of the business cycle. Using the credit boom detection method suggested by Mendoza and Terrones (2012) for analyzing Russian data for 2000−2016 we have discovered that cycles of credit to population and private non-financial enterprises are reliable predictors of the phase change for the corresponding components of the business cycle (consumption and investments). Our results are robust in relation to different modifications of credit indicators, deflator choice and the choice of scaling variable. This makes this method of credit cycle detection a good candidate for an early warning indicator for the purposes of macroeconomic policy.
Keywords: credit cycle; macroeconomic policy; theory of money; economic cycle.

Monitoring and Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Regional Tax Incentives
Tax incentives continue to play a key role on regional level, on the ground of tax policies implementation, despite of the increased volume of lost revenues, caused by enforcement of aforementioned policies. Monitoring of the tax expenditures on regional level is limited both by absence of inducement to interact with regional tax base and the poor quality of the established methodic basis of monitoring and assessment of efficiency of tax incentives. In the article, legal provisions for assessment of efficiency of regional tax incentives is analyzed and proposals for enhancement of current evaluation system, based upon the best practices on regional level, is formed.
Keywords: taxation; tax policy; regional taxes; tax incentives; the quality of public finance management; efficiency; effectiveness; methods; criteria; indicators.

Taxation of Capital Income in the Open Economy: Basic Concepts and Current Trends
The purpose of research is to provide the main theoretical approaches to taxation of capital income in the open economy, and also to reveal main trends in change of corporate income tax rates in countries worldwide. It were used both comparative and graphical analysis. The empirical analysis of corporate income tax rates in countries worldwide was provided. The analysis of existing theoretical background allowed us to conclude that if the government of a small open economy tends to encourage the domestic real investment by means of reducing taxes on capital income, it should concentrate on the reduction of source-based taxes on investment like the widespread corporate income tax. Also such analysis allowed to note that the main reasons of existence of source-based capital income tax are the obtaining of location-specific rents, imperfect capital mobility, the preferential taxation of income obtained abroad, the backstop of individual income tax, and the political limitations. The article provides an empirical analysis for five world regions: Africa, North and Latin America, Asia, and Europe. For each region we analyzed dynamics of average corporate income tax rates in countries of the region for the 2006−2016. We revealed both main trends and reasons of changes of this parameter for each region. The obtained results could serve as theoretical justification of directions of reforms of capital income taxation.

Company Bryansk Plant: Experience of Becoming a Large Corporation in the Pre-Revolutionary Russia
