| Summary/Abstract |
Russian scholars have presented a comprehensive picture of the history of Chinese in Russia from the mid-19th century to our days. The study of the modern Chinese migration has been carried on in such important fields as the economic activity of Chinese migrants, the problems of "Chinese demographic expansion," adaptation and tolerance, and educational migration. An increase of the volume of low-skilled Chinese labor in Russia on a temporary basis is predicted.

| Summary/Abstract |
Improving the business environment has been a major aim of Myanmar's reforms. However, the formal and informal economic institutions that govern exchange and shape the business environment changed significantly under a half-century of socialist and military government. The socialist leadership eliminated many market-supporting institutions made unnecessary because economic activity was to be state planned. Under this framework, personal exchange became dominant and control of economic life widespread. The military government revived market exchange, but many institutions from the socialist era remained and continue to constrain private business today. Thus, the strict economic controls, arbitrary policy-making and lack of processes that affect businesses in present-day Myanmar have direct institutional links with former regimes. They distort the structure of the economy, incentivize clustering in particular sectors and promote the use of networks and personal exchange. As other countries have shown, successful reform is a long process requiring more than changes in the formal institutions of regulation.

| Summary/Abstract |
Our understanding of the sources of oil price fluctuations and their effects on the U.S. economy has undergone important transformations in the last decades. First, several studies have demonstrated the importance of identifying the causes of oil price fluctuations, whether they are driven by demand or supply shocks, instead of assuming that oil price changes are exogenous to the evolution of the world's economic activity. Second, new methodologies have allowed researchers to re-evaluate the functional form of the relationship between oil prices and U.S. GDP, its components and job flows. Third, significant advances have been made in understanding the relationship between oil price uncertainty, news, economic policy uncertainty and aggregate economic activity. Finally, investigations into the time-varying nature of oil price-macroeconomy relationship have provided important insights into the reasons why unexpected increases in oil prices appear to shock less now than in the 1970s. This paper reviews the studies that have contributed to these different aspects of the literature.
