This article discusses the methodological framework of the cost approach for the assessment of competitiveness of Russian banks. As the active operations of banks generate basic income, evaluation of costs of leveraging resources is an important element of the assessment of the inte- gral competitiveness of the bank. The author presents and validates es the algorithm of calculation procedures. On the basis of current data on the 50 largest banks the author makes approbation assessment of the funding costs, estimating on the basis of their competitiveness. Additionally, a comparison is the cost of resource generation by large and small banks. In this paper we dis- prove a number of typical misconceptions about the availability of an inverse relationship between the size of the bank’s cost of funding and active operations. Accordingly, the absolute ranking of banks in terms of competitiveness on the basis of this factor seems economically unjustified.

One of the main tasks of state regulation is to find and keep a balance between economic and social efficiency of management decisions, to balance the competition mechanism with social mechanisms of society’s existence. An effective mechanism of providing a positive impact on the development of competition, entrepreneurial and investment activities aimed at achieving the balance of economic efficiency and social-cultural functioning of society, is regulatory impact assessment. This article describes how to conduct regulatory impact assessment of draft regulatory legal act of the Ulyanovsk region, affecting regulation of retail sales of alcohol products.
Procedure of regulatory impact assessment was based on the following stages:
1) Defining the problem;
2) Regulatory goals;
3) Analysis of options «status quo»;
4) Review of other solutions to the problem, given the results of public discussion a draft legal act;
5) Evaluation of the impact on competition;
6) Selection of options to solve the problem.
According to the results of regulatory impact assessment of the project act was concluded that the absence of sufficient justification addressing the proposed control method, the presence of the provisions in the draft act, introducing redundant duties and prohibitions and restrictions for entrepreneurs, as well as provisions that contribute to the emergence of frivolous spending of busi- nesses, the restriction of competition and the risks of negative social effects. Regulatory impact assessment not only allows to determine the focus and efficiency of decision making, but also a mechanism for the coordination of positions and interests of stakeholders, thereby improving the quality of the institutional environment by achieving a balance between economic and social efficiency.

The theory of competition |

Behavior of economic agents in the market is largely due to the desire to maximize the result of income which arises from the interaction with other actors. Impulse maximization sometimes appears in the form of extensive expansion — to increase the physical boundaries of the firm, raising its influence in the market. However, this is not always justified. Control may arise in intensive penetration by creating dependencies between counterparties. It seems that the key to understanding these processes should serve as transaction costs. Their role falls creating sustainable relationships, and seems to be exactly in their ability to form a specific ratio to engage in a dominant position in a slightly different form than traditionally seen. Building on this hypothesis article focuses on the existence of the problem of identifying the boundaries of economic agents. The apparent ease of solution of the problem faces a number of significant challenges linkages between the concepts of determining the boundaries of the institutional theory. Taking place in the methodological rigor of the contra- dictions is the current approach, where the boundary is something that occurs under the influence of either internal or external shocks. In resolving the issue by the author proposed integration model based on the ratio of transaction costs. The paper summarized and systematized presentation on the nature of the formation boundaries of economic agents. We show the importance of the permeability properties of the boundaries on the micro- and macrolevels in redesigning performance businesses and determining the viscosity of the economic environment (friction).
