Pole Motion

In this article, we intended to see whether we can obtain the same pole motion from two kinds of telescopes: the floating zenith telescope (PZT) and the ILS zenith telescope (VZT). The observations with the PZT have been pursued since 1967.0 with a star list whose star places are taken from the PK4 and its supplement. We revised the method of reduction of the observations with the PZT by adopting a variable scale value for the photographic plate (Takagi et al., 1974).

Сreation of the stabilization fund has become the main feature of the Russian federal budget for 2004. This instrument provides the opportunity to reduce the dependence of budget incomes on the fluctuations of oil prices. The accepted model does not consider the world experience in building of such funds as the "funds for future generations", and the increase of other revenues from the growing oil prices as well. That can lead to shortening and immobilization of the financial basis of economic growth.

Beyond Gdp

The first part of the paper is devoted to the monetary indicators of social welfare. It is shown which methods of quantitative estimating the aggregate wealth and well-being are available in the modern economic theory apart from the traditional GDP measure. The limitations of the methods are also discussed. The author shows which measures of welfare are adequate in the dynamic context: he considers the problems of intertemporal welfare analysis using the Net National Product (NNP) for the sustainability policy and in the context of concern for well-being of the future generations.
