Учебник «Экономическая логистика» отличается повышенной сложностью, которая неизбежна при более углублённом изучении предмета, что характерно для второго уровня высшего образования – магистратуры. Раскрываются закономерности эволюции полной логистической системы и её особенности в условиях России. На основе критического анализа накопленных знаний конкретизированы понятия, категории и законы экономической логистики. Впервые в отечественной литературе сделана попытка изложить научную теорию логистики как систему законов, категорий и принципов, объясняющих природу поточной формы организации экономической материи, упорядоченную сообразно внутренней причинной необходимости. Обосновано, что логистика как отдельное направление научной мысли относится к наукам, возникшим на базе тектологии – учения о всеобщей организованности, и при описании логистических систем необходимо исходить из общей характеристики тектологических систем. На построение логистических объектов влияют законы всеобщей организованности: закон подбора, закон меры, закон усложнения организационных форм, закон организации и дезорганизации и другие, которые в практической деятельности пока используются на уровне интуиции.

В работе изучается интеграция московского рынка конечных товаров с рынками всех других регионов России. Рассматривается агрегированный рынок, представленный минимальным набором продуктов питания. Критерием интеграции рынков служит закон единой цены, исходя из которого строятся модели временных рядов различия стоимости набора в регионах страны и Москве за 2001–2015 гг. Региональные рынки разбиваются на четыре группы: интегрированные с московским рынком, условно интегрированные с ним, не интегрированные, но движущиеся к интеграции с рынком Москвы, а также не интегрированные и не движущиеся к интеграции. Для описания движения к интеграции (конвергенции цен) используются нелинейные модели с асимптотически затухающими трендами.

A powerful new tool for all forensic accountants, or anyone who analyzes data that may have been altered Benford's Law gives the expected patterns of the digits in the numbers in tabulated data such as town and city populations or Madoff's fictitious portfolio returns. Those digits, in unaltered data, will not occur in equal proportions; there is a large bias towards the lower digits, so much so that nearly one-half of all numbers are expected to start with the digits 1 or 2. These patterns were originally discovered by physicist Frank Benford in the early 1930s, and have since been found to apply to all tabulated data. Mark J. Nigrini has been a pioneer in applying Benford's Law to auditing and forensic accounting, even before his groundbreaking 1999 Journal of Accountancy article introducing this useful tool to the accounting world. In Benford's Law, Nigrini shows the widespread applicability of Benford's Law and its practical uses to detect fraud, errors, and other anomalies. Explores primary, associated, and advanced tests, all described with data sets that include corporate payments data and election data Includes ten fraud detection studies, including vendor fraud, payroll fraud, due diligence when purchasing a business, and tax evasion Covers financial statement fraud, with data from Enron, AIG, and companies that were the target of hedge fund short sales Looks at how to detect Ponzi schemes, including data on Madoff, Waxenberg, and more Examines many other applications, from the Clinton tax returns and the charitable gifts of Lehman Brothers to tax evasion and number invention Benford's Law has 250 figures and uses 50 interesting authentic and fraudulent real-world data sets to explain both theory and practice, and concludes with an agenda and directions for future research. The companion website adds additional information and resources.
