Formation of the Institutional Environment in Transforming Economies of Postsocial Countries (p. 13 - 21)

The article analyzes the formation of market relations as a natural process of capitalism development in the countries that have shaped a socially oriented capital economy that meets purposes of the formation of postindustrial society. The forms and methods of transition to the market economy of former socialist countries (FSCs) are considered in comparison with the classical scheme of development. It is found that major failures in the reforming occurred as a result of using the outdated liberal economic theory, neglecting the peculiarities of FSCs development, mentality of the society and population, which resulted in the formation of unpromising oligarchic ruling class disregarding interests of people. The causes of the systemic social-economic crises in FSCs and measures to overcome the market failures are justified. There outlined the ways out of this situation by means of forming modern institutional environment, escaping institutional risks and traps.
Keywords: institutional environment, institutions, added value, matrix management, property, motivation, corporate governance

Confrontation of Major Counteracting Forces in the Globalized Market as a Process of Resolving / Intensifying its Contradictions (p. 22 - 27)

The aim of the article is to study the process of resolving/intensifying the contradictions of the contemporary globalized market by means of identifying the counteracting forces that are critical for the period of the formation of post-industrial relations. It is proved that in the context of globalization and gradual establishment of principles of the postindustrial economy, the confrontation of major counteracting market forces is undergoing changes, which is manifested through the processes of resolving/intensifying the market contradictions. There identified the content of these changes, in particular: if at early stages of the market development the confrontation “state—market” was of decisive importance, at the present time it is the confrontation “civil society – TNCs”. There described a multivariate character of the interaction between the major market forces — states, international organizations, TNCs, civil society (both with the effect of achieving community of their interests and with the effect of their disunity). It is proved that the confrontation between the civil society and international corporations objectifies in the globalized economy a new form of contradiction between labor and capital that corresponds to the post-industrial content of economic relations and, in particular the content of property relations.
Keywords: contradiction, confrontation, globalization, post-industrial economy, global market, transnational corporations, civil society

Marketing Standards for Enterprises and Higher Educational Institutions: the EU and Ukraine (p. 28 - 34)

The article considers the marketing standards for enterprises and higher educational institutions in the EU and Ukraine. The basic components of the formation of the marketing standards in our country and the European Union member countries are identified, some legislative restrictions on advertising in certain EU countries are systematized. The features of the EU standards are determined. The main idea of the article is to examine the European marketing standards, determine the level of their adaptation to the national ones, as well as collect data on the effectiveness of the application of marketing standards to higher educational institutions, provide quality education and establish collaboration with the European partner universities. The general understanding of the quality of education, use of harmonized approaches and evaluation criteria is important for the European integration. The majority of national organizations have a number of difficulties associated with the undeveloped system of indicators oriented towards the client and other interested parties. The application of the EU marketing standards sets an appropriate vector of development for the domestic economy and opens up new competitive opportunities.
Keywords: marketing standards, Ukrainian enterprises, EU higher educational establishments, features of the EU marketing standards

Priorities in the State Policy of Unshadowing the National Economy of Ukraine at the Present Stage of Development (p. 35 - 40)

The aim of the article is to justify the priorities of the state policy of unshadowing the national economy in the system of basic characteristics of the state economic security at the present stage of development. There made a conclusion about the perspectiveness of aligning the policy of economy unshadowing with forming a viable system of economic security of Ukraine, which allows to achieve a synergistic effect oriented both towards counteraction to the shadowing of economic relations and comprehensive enhancement of key parameters of the state economic security, including through the economy unshadowing. Consequently, the strategic priorities are defined in the following areas: (1) self-sufficiency of economic development and provision of the policy of economy unshadowing (forming the environment of perception of the shadow economy, resource support and an information and analytical system of economy unshadowing; introducing effective foreign technologies; increasing the efficiency in the regulatory sphere); (2) stability of the economic system and high capacity of the policy of economy unshadowing (legalization of the national economy in the branch-sectoral as well as spatial and structural aspects by structural elements of the state security, in the financial system and the internal market); (3) ability of the economy to develop and realize the potential of the policy of economy unshadowing (building the infrastructure; introducing “fuses” of control, human and intellectual, investment and innovation support of the economy unshadowing).
Keywords: shadowing, unshadowing, synergistic effect, strategic priorities

Specification of Scientific Tasks in Collaboration between Science, Industry and State, and Impact of Political Factors on Managerial Levers and Economy (p. 41 - 46)

The issue of collaboration between science, industry and state is of relevance in domestic and international practice. In leading countries of the world and in Ukraine compatible production and scientific complexes are created; collaboration between research institutions and state is established, in particular the theory and practice of collaboration between science, industry and state on the basis of Triple Helix Model is widespread in the world; in scientific papers objects of research of economic processes, subjects of research of the economic theory are considered. However, there are no works where the objects and tasks of economic researches are studied on the basis of macroeconomic environment, and a distinct principle to distinguish research objects relating to different economies and types of production is laid out; scientific and practical problems of economy in the field of collaboration between state, science and industry are clearly defined. According to the purpose of the article (to specify scientific and practical tasks to rationalize scientific research), the experience gained is systematized and a scheme-matrix of scientific and practical problems is proposed. In scientific practice there are works highlighting principles of scientific research work, research tasks in the field of economy, scientific problems of economy but there are no works considering both principles and tasks of collaboration of academic economists with state and industry in order to provide scientists with recommendations on optimization of economic processes to improve the economic efficiency. Taking into account the experience gained, principles of collaboration of academic economists with the state and industry are identified. On the basis of the developed matrix of scientific and practical tasks, the principle of impact of political factors on managerial levers, the level of Gross Domestic Product and Gross Social Product is demonstrated.
Keywords: scientific tasks; political factors; collaboration between state, science and industry; principles of work of scientists

Management of Sustainable Energy Efficient Development at the Local Level: Stakeholder-Oriented Approach (p. 47 - 56)

There presented a theoretical rationale for the expediency of using the stakeholder-oriented approach to improve the process of management of sustainable energy efficient development at the local level. The evolution of theories by scientific schools that studied the concepts of “stakeholders” and “interested parties” is analyzed and generalized. A classification of types of stakeholders in the context of eighteen typological features is suggested, which allows to more effectively align their interests and contributes to establishing constructive forms of cooperation in order to achieve efficient final results. An algorithm of interaction with interested parties in achieving the goals of sustainable energy efficient development at the local level is elaborated. Typical motivational interests of stakeholders at the local level in the field of sustainable energy efficient development (on the example of Ukraine) are identified. Instruments of prioritization of stakeholders depending on the life cycle stages of energy efficiency projects are proposed. The results obtained in the course of the research can be used to develop local energy efficient programs, business plans and feasibility studies for energy efficient projects.
Keywords: sustainable energy-efficient development, stakeholders, interested parties, project, local level, management

Analysis of External Imbalances in the Economy of Ukraine on the Basis of Determining an Acceptable Level of the Current Account of Balance of Payments (p. 57 - 66)

The aim of the article is to determine the size of an acceptable level of the current balance and external imbalance for Ukraine with regard to the steady trade deficit having been observed for the last ten years. The assessment is based on several most common methods, namely: analysis of macro indicators, indicators of external sustainability, and the volume of foreign direct investment received. According to the calculations performed by all three methods, during the 2005-2016 the average acceptable level of the current account deficit made up about 2.5% of GDP, which is lower than in countries of Eastern Europe, however, is at the same level with Asian countries. The largest negative gap of the current account was observed right before the crises of 2008 and 2012-2013 when the gap exceeded 3.5% of GDP. Furthermore, it is important that the processes of correcting external imbalances were aligned with achieving the internal balance. The analysis based on a Swan diagram shows that in most cases the Ukrainian economy needs to correct either internal or external imbalances, which made it impossible to use the same instruments to remove them. Under these conditions the determining role of the state economic policy should be aimed at both searching for optimal variants of macroeconomic measures of the monetary and fiscal nature, and implementing the necessary structural reforms.
Keywords: acceptable level of the current balance, external imbalances, internal balance, monetary policy

Socio-Economic Development of Territorial Communities in the Context of Financial Decentralization (p. 67 - 76)

The deep socio-political crisis in almost all areas of development of modern Ukraine have determined the importance and necessity of implementing the decentralization reform as an effective factor to stabilize the current socio-economic situation, overcome the financial crisis, regulate the contradictions between power structures at different levels on the principles of efficient allocation of powers and resources, comprehensive responsibility, provision of citizens with all social benefits and improvement of the efficiency of using budgetary funds at all levels of government. Implementing the financial decentralization on the basis of the administrative-territorial reform and a new ideology of public administration in Ukraine creates opportunities for providing comfortable operating conditions and self-development of a self-sufficient community, establishing principles of sustainable socio-economic development, using modern infrastructure, obtaining the necessary high-quality services and ensuring a high level of well-being of its own people.

Integral Estimation of the Level of Self-Development of Ukrainian Regions (p. 77 - 83)

The aim of the article is to substantiate the stages, methods, techniques, indicators of an integral estimation of self-development of regions as a basis for determining the tools to stimulate regional self-development. There proposed definitions of such concepts as self-development, self-sufficiency, self-government and self-financing of the region. The sequence of stages for determining the integral index of the level of regional self-development is substantiated. There clarified the definition of “the level of self-development of the region”, combining self-sufficiency, as the ability to maintain the current level of development using the own resources to provide an appropriate level of implementation functions imposed on the region, and the region’s ability to generate new competitive advantages upon the availability of management mechanisms. There justified the components of regional self-development: self-sufficiency, self-government, self-financing, for the assessment of which at the methodological and practical level there built integral indices by the method of entropy, and the regions are distributed by the level of self-sufficiency, self-government and self-financing. The evaluation of the level of self-development of Ukrainian regions by components is carried out. Prospects for further research are forecasting the values of components of self-development of regions, identifying changes in the state of the indices and developing on this basis recommendations to improve the position of regions in terms of self-development.

The Methodological Background for Harmonizing Components of Sustainable Development of an Industrial City (p. 91 - 97)

The aim of the article is to develop a methodological background for harmonizing components of sustainable development of an industrial city. The ways of harmonization of economic, environmental and social components are studied. It is proposed to use the rule of “golden ratio” to determine the “ideal” values of the components of sustainable development. On the basis of the index method the components of sustainable development are evaluated. The comparative analysis of the actual and harmonic distribution between the sub-indices of sustainable development is performed. Based on the rule of “golden ratio” it is proved that the harmonization allows to state the existence of differences as well as to carry out a quantitative analysis. It is justified that the existence of disharmony between the components of sustainable development requires elaboration of an appropriate mechanism on the basis of redistribution of investment resources as well as other economic instruments to support the components at a certain level.
Keywords: index method, environmental component, economic component, harmonization, the rule of “golden ratio”, industrial city, social component, sustainable development

Enterprise Architecture in the Company Management Framework (p. 98 - 106)

The study aims to explore the role and importance of the concept of enterprise architecture in modern company management. For this purpose it clarifies the nature, scope, components of the enterprise architecture and relationships within it using the Zachman model. Based on the critical analysis of works by leading scientists, there presented a definition of enterprise architecture as a general description of all elements of strategic management of the company combined with description of its organizational, functional and operational structure, including the relationship between all tangible and intangible resources essential for its normal functioning and development. This in turn enables IT enterprise architecture to be defined as a set of corporate IT resources (hardware, software and technology), their interconnection and integration within the overall architecture of the company, as well as their formal description, methods and tools for their modeling and management in order to achieve strategic business goals of the organization. In conclusion the article summarizes the significance and role of enterprise architecture for strategic management of the company in today’s digital economy. The study underlines the importance of an integrated multidisciplinary approach to the work of a contemporary company, and the need for adequate matching and alignment of IT with business priorities and objectives of the company.
Keywords: strategic company management, enterprise architecture, business enterprise architecture, IT enterprise architecture, the Zachman model

The Methodological Approach to Determining the Level of Formation and Provision of Enterprise Personnel Security (p. 107 - 113)

The aim of the article is to substantiate the methodical approach to determining the level of formation and provision of enterprise personnel security. By analyzing, systematizing and generalizing scientific achievements of many scientists, approaches to the evaluation of personnel security at the enterprise were considered, a set of indices for evaluation of personnel security was defined. There justified the urgency of creating a comprehensive approach to evaluation of personnel security that includes implementation of the following stages: defining a list of indices corresponding to the level of formation and provision of personnel security with the help of the expert evaluation method; calculating integral indices of personnel security for each component and the corresponding level by means of the taxonomic analysis; grouping enterprises by the level of formation and provision of personnel security with the use of the cluster and discriminant analysis. It is found that the implementation of this approach will allow not only determining the level of formation and provision of personnel security at the enterprise, but also developing appropriate recommendations on improving its state. Prospects for further research in this direction are evaluation of conditions for formation and provision of personnel security at the enterprise, which will enable revealing negative destabilizing factors that influence personnel security.
Keywords: personnel security, evaluation of personnel security, level of formation of personnel security, level of provision of personnel security

Classification of Franchise Networks in the Retail Trade (p. 114 - 119)

The article clarifies the definitions of the concepts of “franchise network”, “franchise trade network”, “franchise retail network”, which is substantiated by the lack of a unified approach to interpretation of these concepts. The classification of franchise networks in the retail trade taking into account peculiarities in the operation of this sub-sector of the market economy is developed; classification attributes are identified and types of franchise retail chains are characterized. The proposed classification of franchise retail networks is adapted to the economic situation in Ukraine and specifics of the national franchise relations. It will facilitate a deeper understanding of the essence of the formation and operation of franchise retail chains and also help Ukrainian entrepreneurs to justify choosing the most suitable for them franchising model and allow to establish such a network with regard to various attributes using a complex approach.
Keywords: franchise network, franchise trade network, franchise retail network, classification of franchised retail chains

Justification of Causal Relationships in Managing Economic Processes at Wholesale Enterprises (p. 127 - 135)

The purpose of this article is to study causal relationships between economic processes occurring at wholesale enterprises and develop a methodological approach to their evaluation. Studying the nature of the causal relationships resulted in determining the evolution of business processes in the wholesale trade of Ukraine. It is proven that wholesale trade has its own development life cycle, which causes a need to improve business processes under modern conditions of implementing the processes of purchase and sale, and interaction of economic entities. Key problems in managing business processes at the wholesale enterprise, their consequences and possibility of eliminating the “bottlenecks” arising in the activities of wholesale enterprises are determined. A mathematical model of causal relationships in managing business processes at the wholesale enterprise that can be unified for all domestic enterprises of Ukraine is suggested. Prospects for further research in this direction are identifying parameters for evaluation of the resource potential of wholesale enterprises that affect the results of their operations. Further development of the methodological approach to evaluating causal relationships in economic processes occurring at wholesale enterprises can significantly improve the system for managing business processes at such enterprises.

Integrated Assessment of the Level of Industrial Enterprise Development (p. 136 - 143)

In the article there determined initial values of indices for assessing the enterprise development chosen in view of availability and content of statistical information at the studied enterprises. To obtain a generalized vision of the composition of indices for assessing the enterprise development and determine the priority of their use, the ranking is carried out. In order to describe a comprehensive general nature of the enterprise development, it is proposed to use a multivariate factor analysis, which enables classifying and systematizing the space of the study attributes, revealing the hidden variables and grouping the factors according to their economic content. The application of the factor analysis is explained by the possibility to correctly reduce the number of variables and determine the structural relationship between them. The application of the integral index to assess the level of the enterprise development can not only generalize and analyze qualitative variables but also enables its further using.

Methodological Bases of Forming and Implementing the Institutional and Economic Mechanism of Wholesale Enterprise Operation (p. 144 - 150)

The aim of the article is providing the scientific rationale for theoretical and methodological bases of forming and implementing the institutional and economic mechanism of wholesale enterprise operation. As a result of the study there generalized theoretical and methodical bases of the concept of “mechanism” with respect to wholesale trade, and it is concluded that scientific literature does not present its uniform interpretation. The most common in the economic theory and practice of wholesale enterprises types of mechanisms are identified, and their essence in terms of functional orientation is revealed. There presented a conceptual structure of the institutional and economic mechanism of wholesale enterprise operation taking into account the complex nature of trade and intermediary relationships, their peculiarities concerning production areas, exchange, distribution and consumption. The essence of the mechanism elements, relationships between them, the implementation sequence and feedback are defined as well. It was found that the main driving force of the institutional and economic mechanism of wholesale enterprise operation is subjects that operate depending on their own motives. According to the subject composition, economic and institutional motives are determined. With consideration to the composition and motives of the subjects, there defined objects of the institutional and economic mechanism, which are divided into groups comprising those that form economic incentives and the ones that create an institutional basis for wholesale enterprise operation. To ensure effectiveness of the institutional and economic mechanism, there singled out functional blocks that justify its goals and objectives (strategic and managerial block); functions, methods, and measures (operational block); spheres of mutual influence (block of interaction).
Keywords: wholesale enterprise, institutional and economic mechanism, operation, formation, implementation

Diagnostics of the Enterprise Export Potential (p. 163 - 170)

The aim of the article is to form and develop theoretical and methodological foundations for diagnostics of the enterprise export potential, which should be understood as a process of identification, analysis and assessment of the level of potential possibility and readiness of the enterprise to implement export activities taking into account the impact of interrelated internal variables (goals, technology, structure, tasks, educational and professional potential of the staff) and factors of the enterprise external environment (customers, competitors, suppliers, intermediaries, contact audience, etc.) in order to ensure a qualitatively new level of its development and formation of its prospects. It is determined that the key business indicators of the system for diagnostics of enterprise export potential are: the level of enterprises competitiveness in the international (global) market; the level of competitiveness of enterprise products; the level of competitiveness of enterprise export products; the level of enterprise resource opportunities; the level of enterprise export performance. Prospects for further research in this direction are to develop a classification (specifically detailed list) of objectives of the enterprise diagnostics by the level of detail (element, partial, complex), taking into account diagnostics of export potential of the enterprise as part of diagnostic objective.

Principles, Economic and Institutional Prerequisites for Fiscal Decentralization under Conditions of Post-Conflict Reconstruction (p. 183 - 189)

The aim of the article is to study principles, economic and institutional prerequisites for fiscal decentralization on post-conflict territories. It is determined that fiscal decentralization is one of the main ways to solve problems of post-conflict areas. There justified principles, economic and institutional prerequisites of fiscal decentralization on post-conflict territories with regard to the specificity of individual spheres of fiscal relations. Moreover, different spheres of fiscal relations require different approaches: the sphere of public revenues — providing economic efficiency with the formation of the tax structure contributing to the expansion of the tax base; the sphere of public spending — ensuring social justice and transparency in allocation of social cost at the local level; the sphere of subsidies — narrowing the scope of application of intergovernmental transfers with organizing the redistribution of financial resources under the principle of “center - post-conflict regions - post-conflict recipients”; the sphere of external assistance — ensuring proper coordination for cultivation of new co-operative institutions.
Keywords: principles, prerequisites, fiscal decentralization, post-conflict territories

The Market for Higher Education Services in the Context of the Theory of Merit Goods (p. 190 - 196)

The aim of the article is to determine features of the market for higher education services under modern conditions of globalization in the context of the theory of merit goods. In view of a holistic vision of education as a sphere of economic development, it is proved that the educational service of a higher education institution is a process and result at the same time; there disclosed a complex nature of the educational product of a higher education establishment represented by educational programs and technologies, formalized and implicit knowledge, physical and mental components of organization of the educational and scientific process. Services in the sphere of higher education have both features inherent in the majority of services in general and specific properties, the most important of which is a complementary nature of individual and social usefulness of their production and consumption, which allows to define them as merit goods. The state tutelage over the market for educational services is substantiated by the lag of demand for such services behind long-term interests of society because individual consumers are willing to buy merit goods at a price that is significantly lower than the total expenditure on training specialists. The merit market for national higher education services is characterized by disequilibrium caused by systemic and local institutional traps, the smoothing of which requires not only a competitive state educational policy but also balanced marketing policy of educational institutions that becomes possible under conditions of real autonomy of higher education institutions.
Keywords: educational service, higher education, educational product, merit goods, merit services market

The Nature and Structural Regularities of Financial Integration in the Global Dimension in the Context of “Impossible Trinity” (p. 205 - 212)

The aim of the article is to determine the nature of financial integration and to justify its place in the system of measures on state regulation intended to search for a balanced model of economic growth of the country through the impossible trilemma reflecting the impossibility of simultaneous implementation of three macro-economic policies in one country, namely financial openness, monetary independence and exchange rate stability. On the basis of synthesis, analysis and comparison of different interpretations, the concept of “financial integration” is clarified. There identified signs of integration of financial markets, such as: the uniformity of rules (transparency); equal access (availability); common operating environment (involvement); equity of prices (unity); uniformity of the reaction of financial assets on the impact of external trends and news (response). The policy of financial integration, in particular its component of the free movement of capital is designed to provide additional incentives to domestic economic growth by attracting external financial resources. To stimulate the economy and prevent the unstable volatility of exchange rate, many countries seek to achieve such macroeconomic goals as openness of financial markets, independence of the monetary policy and exchange rate stability. Since the monetary authorities may choose at any moment only two of the three goals, the Mundell-Fleming trilemma determines a possibility of three different combinations of monetary targeting. At present science has not developed a unified methodological approach to determination of indices of financial integration. To assess the dynamics of financial integration the following basic indices of integration are used: KAOPEN, FINREFORM, KASHI, etc. Based on the analysis of the mentioned indices in the context of different countries, there can be made a conclusion about a possibility of combination of different policies with a tendency towards financial integration. In today’s environment it is expedient to use the policy of monetary stimulation of growth rather than support unproductive monetary contraction. The prospect of further research is working out directions of monetary policy taking into account priorities in the country’s development.
Keywords: financial integration, trilemma, monetary policy, exchange rate, inflation, indicators of financial integration

The Nature and Assessment of Systemic Risk in Terms of Liquidity of the Banking System (p. 213 - 222)

The aim of the article is to determine the nature of systemic risk as a threat to the financial stability of the banking system and develop analytical tools to assess its impact on the banking system in terms of its liquidity. To solve the tasks assigned, there used general scientific and specific methods, such as: logical and dialectical method, mathematical and graphical one. Based on the generalization, analysis and comparison of different interpretations, there clarified the concept of “systemic risk” as a risk generated by financial institutions or individual sectors through the implementation of the mechanism of risk transmission, achieving significant scale of distribution and adversely affecting the stability of the financial system and the real sector of economy. There identified key aspects of systemic risk: a) systemic risk is not a sum of all individual risks of financial institutions; b) spreads through the channels of interconnectedness between financial institutions; c) is a result of accumulated structural imbalances; d) affects the stability of the financial/banking system, public confidence and the real sector of economy. Analytical tools for estimation of the bank’s contribution to the systemic liquidity risk on the basis of which it is determined that the first place in terms of the effect on the aggregate systemic risk of liquidity of the Ukrainian banking system is occupied by banks of Group I, the second place — by Privatbank, the third, fourth, fifth places — by banks in Group II — Oschadbank, Ukreximbank. It is found that it is systemically important state-owned banks that have a significant impact on systemic liquidity risk. It is determined that the probability of default of a leading systemically important bank could result in considerable cumulative losses for the entire banking system and real economy. The prospects of further research are the development of tools for systemic risk assessment with respect to interbank relationships.
Keywords: liquidity, systemic risk, stability of the banking system, systemically important bank, macroprudential policy

Features and Basic Directions of Social Protection of Disabled People: International Experience and Possibilities of its Application in Ukraine (p. 223 - 230)

The aim of the article is to study foreign experience in the functioning of social protection of disabled people and determine the possibilities of its use in Ukraine. As a result of the study there identified the features and main directions of social protection of disabled people in foreign countries, including assistance in daily life; provision of support of income, living standards, and employment. The basic model of social protection in countries of the European Union is considered and the distribution of expenditure on social protection in the EU is analyzed. It is found that social protection of disabled people should be directed at social support of this category of citizens because the degree of state social protection of the disabled is a clear indicator of the level of development and civilization of a particular society, the level of its responsibility. Based on the analysis of foreign experience in social protection of people with disabilities, there made conclusions about the need to direct today’s Ukraine policy at strengthening social, economic, and legal status of people with disabilities; improving the conditions of their life; providing for their self-realization, achievement of their financial independence and full social integration, taking into account the best international experience.

Conceptual Aspects in the Modeling of Logistical Risk of the Networked Information Economy with the Use of Tools of Natural Computing (p. 231 - 237)

Information and communication tools and technologies are rapidly changing daily lives of people and business processes in economic activity primarily in the field of logistics. In particular, the innovative nature of these transformations leads to the emergence of new logistical risks, changing the essence of the existing ones, which needs to be taken into account in the management of logistics systems at various levels. Besides, the problem of Big Data has become increasingly urgent, which, on the one hand, can improve the validity of making managerial decisions, on the other hand — they (Big Data) require modern tools for their production, processing and analysis. As such tools there can be used methods and models of natural computing. In the paper the basics of ant and bee algorithms, the particle swarm method, artificial immune systems are summarized; the possibilities of their application in the modeling of various types of logistical risk are demonstrated, the formalization of the problem of risk modeling with the use of an artificial immune system being given as a conditional example.

Some Approaches to the Accounting and Analysis of the Impact of Scientific and Technological Progress in the Harrod-Domar Economic Growth Model (p. 238 - 243)

The paper presents methods for the accounting of autonomous and induced scientific and technological progress in the Harrod-Domar model of economic dynamics that imply determining the incremental capital/output ratio of the model in the form of special functions of time. As part of the received version of the Harrod-Domar model, on the basis of conditional data there conducted a numerical study of some aspects of the impact of parameters of scientific and technological progress and the initial state of the economy being modeled on peculiarities of corresponding trajectories of its dynamics. A simple economic and mathematical problem of determining an optimal value of investments in the implementation of the induced STP is formulated, and content interpretation of the obtained solution is carried out. Possible directions of development of the obtained results may be associated with the application of the proposed modification of the Harrod-Domar model to build and analyze mathematical models of optimal economic growth in view of the induced STP, as well as with the prospective use of these results to improve dynamic models of the Leontief type in terms of considering innovation processes (scientific and technical progress of various kinds).

Spatial and Structural Analysis of Efficiency of Agriculture Production in Regions of Ukraine (p. 244 - 253)

The aim of the article is carrying out spatial and structural analysis of efficiency of agricultural production in regions of Ukraine. A technique for analyzing the use of resources on the basis of elasticity coefficients is proposed. To improve the efficiency of agricultural production it is important to know what kind of resources – material, labor, environmental or organizational and technical – is used less efficiently in order to ascertain the reasons for the further decrease in the production efficiency in general. To compare the performance of individual components of efficiency, it is proposed to use not usual parameters of the regression equation obtained for absolute values of the indicators, but the elasticity coefficients, which relate the change of factors-indicators and the performance indicator as a percentage of their average values. Thus the sensitivity of the performance indicator to indicators-factors is estimated. Taking into account the features of building the model of efficiency components, their made an assumption that the function of dependence of overall efficiency of agricultural production from its components is a linear one. The analysis of elasticity coefficients of the overall efficiency by its components showed a low level of their influence on the overall efficiency of agricultural production in regions. To understand this situation, the influence of the indicators on each component of efficiency is studied. With this purpose a complex of models of efficiency components is built for each region of Ukraine. The conducted through the use of elastic coefficients spatial and structural analysis of efficiency showed that each region has its own peculiarities in the development of agriculture, and, consequently, its determinants of influence on its efficiency.

Rational Choice of the Investment Project Using Interval Estimates of the Initial Parameters (p. 254 - 260)

The article is dedicated to the development of instruments to support decision-making on the problem of choosing the best investment project in a situation when initial quantitative parameters of the considered investment alternatives are described by interval estimates. In terms of managing the risk caused by interval uncertainty of the initial data, the study is limited to the component (aspect) of risk measure as a degree of possibility of discrepancy between the resulting economic indicator (criterion) and its normative level (the norm). An important hypothesis used as a basis for the proposed in the work formalization of the problem under consideration is the presence – for some or all of the projects from which the choice is made – of risk of poor rate of return in terms of net present (current) value. Based upon relevant developments within the framework of the fuzzy-set methodology and interval analysis, there formulated a model for choosing an optimal investment project from the set of alternative options for the interval formulation of the problem. In this case it is assumed that indicators of economic attractiveness (performance) of the compared directions of real investment are described either by interval estimates or possibility distribution functions. With the help of the estimated conditional example there implemented an approbation of the proposed model, which demonstrated its practical viability.
Keywords: investment project, interval uncertainty, interval analysis, risk of poor rate of return, function of possibility distribution

Scenarios for Development of Scientific and Innovative Potential of Ukraine under Conditions of a New Industrial Revolution and Association with the EU (p. 261 - 272)

The article presents the results of the scenario simulation of scientific and innovative development of Ukraine to determine the appropriate method of its management under conditions of a new industrial revolution and association with the EU. It is shown that the best scenario that in the long run provides a significant improvement in the results of scientific and technological development is a scenario of increasing the level of R&D expenditures to the EU target figure amounting to 4% of GDP. But this scenario is unlikely. It is found that the optimal level of expenditures can be considered as 2.5% of GDP, which can be achieved in the medium term; in this case raising the level of expenditures to 1.7-2% of GDP gives certain results but does not produce sufficient resources for a long-term development. It is proved that in order to achieve significant results in scientific and technological development, the increase in expenditures on R&D should be accompanied by forming clusters, increasing the level of protection of investors, providing development of high-tech industries and employment in this sphere, as well as facilitating the access to ICTs. It is found that a prerequisite for an effective scientific and technological development is stimulation of the population interest in obtaining high-quality professional education, including through the promotion by employers.
Keywords: scenario simulation, scientific and innovative development, indicators of scientific and technological activities, level of GDP per capita, simulation experiments in management

Systemic and Non-Systemic Corruption in Education: the Game Model (p. 273 - 278)

The aim of the article is to analyze the existing practices of corruption in higher education and their impact on its quality index as well as develop recommendations on their overcoming. Game methods to analyze the corrupt interaction in the process of getting education are proposed. There identified two categories of lecturers taking bribes: professional bribe-takers and amateurs. It is emphasized that the existence of professionals is only possible under conditions of systemic corruption when part of the risk is passed on to the university administration. The activity of amateurs is analyzed using gaming technologies. The payoff matrices of the student and the teacher are built, the latter includes the likelihood of detection and possible punishment for corruption. It is shown that under current conditions there is saddle point when both the student and the teacher use illegal strategies. The transition to a mixed strategy is possible only in case of a significant increase in the probability of detecting acts of corruption on the part of the teacher or the increase of the size of punishment for corruption. Significant improvements are possible in the case when the population will change views on the effectiveness of knowledge as a source of human capital.
Keywords: Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), higher education, human and administrative capital, systemic and non-systemic corruption, bimatrix game, payoff matrix, saddle point
