The Investigation of the European and Eurasian Markets for Technologies: Ukraine in Regional Patent Spaces (p. 7 - 18)
The exclusive right to intellectual property acts as a universally recognized tool of the modern competitive struggle for the markets for goods and technologies, which actualizes the issue of Ukraine’s participation in this process. For this purpose, based on the data from the European, Eurasian and world patent statistics, the article measures the level of inventive activity of Ukraine in the nearest regional markets for technologies. Among the relevant quantitative and qualitative indicators for the evaluation of the patenting in Ukraine and leading countries of Europe and Eurasia there analyzed: the total volume and dynamics of filing patent applications; the total volume and specific weight of patent portfolios; the high-tech patenting. Based on the results of the study, the corresponding conclusions are drawn. In particular, the huge gap between Ukraine and leaders of inventive activity predetermined the absence of any significant influence of the country on the development of innovative markets in Europe and Eurasia. The decrease in Ukraine’s striving to succeed in the above mentioned ones leads to the loss of both promising markets and entire sectors of the national economy.
Keywords: European and Eurasian markets for technologies, intellectual property, inventive activity, evaluation, analysis.

Challenges, Contradictions and Risks of the Modern Global Economy (p. 19 - 25)
The aim of the article is to reveal the nature of challenges, contradictions and risks of the global economy. The stages of the reproduction cycle of global contradictions are considered with singling out the “conflict” stage. There described the categorical apparatus of the research with determination of the following meaningful sequence: global challenge ? global problem ? global risk ? global crisis ? global catastrophe. The forecast of the WEF for 2017 on global trends and global risks is analyzed. The system nature of global risks is identified as a defining feature of their modern manifestation. The system approach to determining the source of origin of modern challenges, contradictions and risks of the global economy is used. It is proved that the nature of the system unproductiveness (crisis-induced character) comes from the depths of capitalist relations and finds its modern manifestation through the self-denial of capitalism and the contradictions caused by the evolution of global capital. The idea of the inevitability of the global catastrophe that awaits humanity is refuted and the possibility and necessity of applying long-term safety management strategies on the part of the harmonized society is argued.
Keywords: global challenges, contradictions of the global economy, global risks, global problems, global trends.

The Analysis of Corporate Tax and Personal Income Tax in European Countries (p. 48 - 54)
The aim of the article is to reveal the relationship between the rates of corporate tax and personal income tax and the pace of economic development. The existence of the open financial market under conditions of globalization leaves its imprint on forming the vectors of development of the tax systems in the countries. Thus, the optimal corporate taxation creates a competitive and investment-attractive climate, facilitates encouraging foreign investments and locating economic activities. The study made it possible to establish the absence of a direct link between the tax rates and economic growth. At the same time, a linear relationship between the tax rates and the tax burden is revealed. On the basis of the presented mathematical expression, it can be concluded that an increase in the personal income tax causes an increase in the tax burden, and an increase in the corporate tax — its reduction. The cluster analysis of the corporate tax and the personal income tax in European countries allowed to justify the determinants of successful economic development presenting the formation of the vector of the tax policy in the aspect of moderate taxation of individuals and the need for low taxation of corporate profits.
Keywords: analysis, corporate tax, personal income tax, economic growth, tax system.

The Trends in International Migration of Human Resources under Conditions of Geo-Economic Transformations (p. 55 - 60)
The aim of the article is to reveal the influence of geo-economic transformations on the trends in international migration of human resources as an element of the resource potential of countries and regions. The current state of geo-economic transformations is analyzed, and their influence on the processes of international migration of human resources is revealed. The relevance of analyzing international movement of human resources, not labor ones, in building the geo-economic strategy of a country or a regional grouping is justified. The connection between the international migration of human resources and the trends in development of individual countries and regions (oil exporting countries, newly industrialized countries and least developed agrarian countries) is determined, the general patterns of migration flows in these countries are described. Furthermore, the topical issues in studying international migration of human resources in the context of the directions of geo-economics identified by scientists are formulated. It is determined that the regional migration policy should contribute to maximizing the benefits of migration of human resources for the development of the region and the use of immigrants in the countries of the region as an economic resource that becomes strategically important under conditions of geo-economic transformations.
Keywords: geo-economics, geo-economic transformations, international migration, human resources, migration policy, regional integration.

Peculiarities of International Migration of Population in Europe at the Present Stage (p. 61 - 69)
Under conditions of globalization, international migration of population is steadily growing and significantly affects the socio-economic development of countries and regions. The aim of the article is to identify the features of international migration of population in Europe. The migration trends in the region and its subregions are analyzed. It is shown that Western Europe is leading according to the number of migrants residing on its territory, but the maximum growth of migrants for the period of 1990-2015 is observed in Southern Europe. The proportion of women and population of active age groups is increasing in the structure of migrants. In recent years the flow of refugees has increased. The impact of the migration crisis on the economies of the host countries is analyzed. Calculations of coefficients of multiple correlation demonstrated the level of dependence between the indicators of migration and GDP, population size, share of urban population. It is concluded that it is necessary to develop migration policies at different hierarchical levels.
Keywords: migration, international population migration, emigration, migration intensity, forced population migration, migration policy.

Problems of Ukraine’s Electricity Sector and the Ways to Solve them with Consideration for the Experience of EU Countries (p. 70 - 75)
The aim of the article is to systematize the main problems of the development of the domestic electricity sector and compare the ways of solving them in Ukraine with the practice of EU countries. In particular, to identify the problems that under domestic conditions are being tackled not effectively enough, or the mechanism for solving which is not created at all. The systematization of the problems, the addressing of which is a prerequisite for the efficient functioning of Ukraine’s electricity sector, made it possible to divide them into general ones, which arise due to the specificity of electricity as a commodity, and those specific to the Ukrainian conditions. The general problems in Ukraine as a whole are being solved with consideration for the experience of EU countries, although the tackling of some of them is still at the initial stage. In particular, for the introduction of the European experience in the field of the functioning of the Electricity Exchange, at this stage a basic law has been adopted, the implementation of which is still ahead. The comparison of the domestic and European practice of solving the problems of the electricity sector shows the gradual adoption by Ukraine of the positive European experience in tackling a group of general problems, however, mechanisms to overcome the specific for domestic conditions problems have not been created yet. First of all, this concerns the issue of restoration and expansion of the electricity generation capacities, which are on the verge of exploitation.
Keywords: electricity sector, European experience, general problems of the development of the electricity sector, specific problems of the development of the electricity sector.

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of the State Policy for Ensuring Economic Safety in the Sphere of Development of Rural Areas (p. 76 - 82)
The aim of the article is to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the effectiveness of the state policy for ensuring economic safety in the sphere of development of rural areas. The effectiveness of implementing the safety components of the state targeted programs for development of rural areas is studied. There identified the main shortcomings in the implementation of the applied principles of the state policy for ensuring economic safety in the sphere of development of rural areas that limit its effectiveness: the declarative nature of the state target programs, the imperfection of the organizational and economic instruments for ensuring economic safety, the lack of mechanisms for financing the program activities, the resource constraints in the system of public administration, the imbalance of the latter at various hierarchical levels, the secondary principle of priority in solving rural development problems, the excessive bureaucracy in making managerial decisions, the corruption of officials, the inertia and passivity of the population in rural areas. The information basis for increasing the effectiveness of the implementation of the state policy for ensuring economic safety in the sphere of development of rural areas is formed.
Keywords: state policy for ensuring economic safety, rural areas, efficiency, agriculture, state target program.

The Current State and Quantitative and Qualitative Parameters of the Development of the Domestic Innovative Entrepreneurship in Ukraine (p. 83 - 89)
The domestic innovative entrepreneurship in Ukraine has a long history of formation and development and takes its origins from the days when the country was part of the unified national economic complex of the USSR. Although our state has always had a significant and promising potential for development of innovative entrepreneurship, at present it is not fully used. At the same time, the inconsistent and contradictory nature of reforming the economic and political systems of Ukraine in the newest period of its independent existence has caused the preserving of the backward technological structure of the economy, which on the global scale is still positioned as energy intensive, uncompetitive and incapable of ensuring an effective convergence of all elements of technological chains of innovation intensive production. According to internationally accepted indicators of development of innovative entrepreneurship, Ukraine is most inferior to the leading countries of scientific and technological progress in terms of absolute and relative costs (public and private) on R & D (research and development); quality conditions of the domestic research infrastructure; availability of venture capital; export of high-tech goods and science intensive services; scale of international patent-licensing cooperation; degree of interrelations between the components of the national innovation system, level of their integration into global and regional research and innovation networks, and participation of the state in the international technology transfer. This negatively affects the scale and dynamics of the development of domestic innovation entrepreneurship causing a significant loss of competitive positions of our state in world markets. The aim of the article is to study the current state of domestic innovative entrepreneurship and determine the prospects for its development.
Keywords: innovative entrepreneurship, international scientific and industrial cooperation, international technology transfer.

The Problem-Oriented Approach to Organization of the Functioning of the State Control System in Ukraine (p. 90 - 97)
There conducted an analysis of the number of inspections of business entities that were carried out by controlling bodies in Ukraine in 2015. As a result, it is justified that the issue of reducing the number of inspections of business entities is of primary importance for improving the business climate in Ukraine. The control functions of some central bodies of executive power that are similar or identical are singled out, the cases of dividing one sphere of control between several bodies are considered. By analyzing the organization of the functioning of the state control system in Ukraine, there revealed its main problems and directions for their solution, among which: the depriving of the State Forest Resource Agency of Ukraine and the State Agency of Fisheries of Ukraine of the duplicating control functions; the depriving of the State Service of Ukraine for Labor of functions of control over business entities delegating these functions to the above bodies. As a result, the State Service of Ukraine for Labor will only perform functions of control over activities of the Funds. These changes will make it possible not only to simplify the system of central bodies of executive power that have the right to conduct inspections of business entities by reducing the number of such bodies but also ensure the conducting of the inspections by special bodies.
Keywords: problem-oriented approach, state control, controlling bodies, administrative burden.

Problems of the Procedure for Regulatory Impact Analysis of Draft Normative Legal Acts (p. 98 - 103)
The aim of the article is to investigate the procedure for regulatory impact analysis and identify problems caused by the adoption of ineffective normative legal acts. The essence of the concept “regulatory impact analysis” and its main tasks are considered. The legislation in the field of RIA is studied, and the contradictions in terms of determining the number of stages of analysis and the timing of the baseline performance monitoring revealed. There made conclusions regarding the unsatisfactory quality of the developed RIAs and presence of violations of legislation requirements by regulatory bodies, mandatory promulgation of the draft normative legal act along with the analysis. There identified the most problematic stages of RIA for the developers, which include identification of mandatory performance indicators, evaluation of compliance with the requirements of the regulatory act and definition of the problem. It is suggested to improve the methodology for regulatory impact analysis by completing the list of its main stages with evaluation of quality and adjustment of RIA. Recommendations for eliminating contradictions in the legislation in the field of RIA are developed.
Keywords: analysis of regulatory impact, normative legal act, regulatory policy, quality evaluation, methodological support.

Conceptual Relationships between the Systems of Ensuring the Economic Security of the State and the Implementation of the State Policy of Import Substitution (p. 117 - 123)
The aim of the article is to substantiate the conceptual relationships between the systems of ensuring the economic security of the state and the implementation of the state policy of import substitution. It is noted that ensuring the economic security of the state should take place systematically in order to reach its acceptable level. Therefore, it is important to define all its elements taking into account their effectiveness, necessity, and objective character. According to these assumptions, the conceptual bases of combining the systems of ensuring the economic security of the state and implementing the state policy of import substitution are justified. At the same time, the state policy of import substitution is viewed as the one which can provide the list of directions and tools that would enable stabilizing the national economy, creating conditions for its sustainable development and ensure its self-sufficiency optimally and efficiently. The conceptual content of relationships and mutual influences of the system of state economic security and directions of implementing the state policy of import substitution is substantiated. Correspondingly, structural components, functional components and spatial characteristics are identified as elements of the system of ensuring the economic security of the state. The directions of implementing the state policy of import substitution are characterized taking into account the determinants of counteracting import dependence, priority spheres of regulation and segments of the internal market.
Keywords: economic security of the state, import substitution, state policy.

The Patenting of Biotechnological Developments in Ukraine: Trends and Structure (p. 124 - 131)
The analysis of the trends and structure of patenting developments in the field of biotechnologies is carried out. The study is based on the information contained in the databases of WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization), which was used for international comparisons, and “Inventions (Utility Models) in Ukraine” of the Ukrainian Institute of Intellectual Property, which was used for a detailed study of patented developments at the national level. The analysis of patenting the Ukrainian developments for the period of 2000-2015 showed a weak patent activity of Ukraine at the international level. The largest number of active patents on biotechnology granted by the State Service for Intellectual Property of Ukraine to Ukrainian holders belongs to the subclass C12N – “Microorganisms or enzymes; their compositions; reproduction, preservation or storage of microorganisms; mutations or genetic engineering; nutrient media” and amounts to 315. In the structure of patents in the field of biotechnology with the C12N index that are owned by Ukrainian organizations, there prevail state scientific institutions of the NAS of Ukraine and UAAS (Ukrainian Academy of Agrarian Sciences). Representatives of the business sector among the patent holders are almost absent. Among the foreign patent holders the opposite trend is observed — representatives of business structures are leading. Thus, the prospects for the development of biotechnology in Ukraine depend considerably on intensifying the cooperation of scientific institutions with business, which should become a priority area of the state scientific and technical policy.
Keywords: biotechnology, patent analysis, international patent classification, implementation of developments, Ukraine.

The Comprehensive Evaluation of Realizing the Interests of Parties to a Public-Private Partnership (p. 132 - 139)
The aim of the article is to substantiate a comprehensive analytical system for evaluating the realization of the interests of PPP parties as a methodological support for diagnosing problems in development of partnership relations between the state and business. The current state of establishing PPPs in Ukraine indicates that the application of the PPP concept without taking into account the interests of all parties in such agreement does not create favorable conditions for its development and implementation of priorities of the state economic policy. To identify the content of the interests of PPP parties and adequately evaluate the state of their realization, it is necessary to use appropriate analytical tools. In the course of this study it is justified that at building the analytical system for evaluating the realization of the interests of PPP parties, the totality of the interests should be viewed as an ontological complex comprising the subsystem of public sector partners’ interests, on the one hand, and the subsystem of private partners’ interests, on the other; the indicators describing the interests of PPP parties are systematized: four groups are singled out (partial, indirect, analytical and integral), the relationships between them are described, which allows selecting the relevant and most informative indicators for the evaluation avoiding duplication of indicators at building integral indicators; there proposed an approach to the formation of a system of partial indicators for the comprehensive evaluation of the interests of PPP parties, according to which a system of evaluation indicators is developed to diagnose the problems of realizing the interests of the partners at the macro-level; there developed recommendations on quantitative evaluation of consistency of the interests of PPP parties with the help of the integral indicator of consistency of interests of PPP parties and analytical indicators that allow quantifying the financial contradictions that objectively arise between public and private partners. Prospects for further research in this direction are using the proposed analytical tools for diagnosing problems in the realization of the interests of PPP parties in Ukraine.
Keywords: diagnostics, interest, complex, evaluation, indicator, public-private partnership, consistency of the interests of parties.

The State and Factors of the Economic Dynamics of Mechanical Engineering Enterprises in Ukraine (p. 140 - 148)
The economic dynamics of mechanical engineering enterprises in Ukraine is considered. Steady negative trends in the volumes of production and sales of mechanical engineering products are revealed. The analysis of the export capabilities of the mechanical engineering industry in the context of the main commodity groups showed an increase in the exports of products of the third technological mode, which indicates a decrease in its science intensity. The study of the impact on the state of the industry of general macroeconomic trends, which are reflected in the changes in the Global Competitiveness Index of Ukraine in 2014-2016, demonstrated some improvements in the indicators characterizing the conditions of business management and the results of their innovation activities. With the purpose of assessing the conformity of the directions in innovation activities of enterprises in the industrial sector of Ukraine to the objectives of increasing their innovative potential, there conducted an analysis of the structure of innovation costs, which showed a significant predominance of costs on acquiring equipment, while the implementation of new technologies is carried out mainly on the basis of resource saving and not flexibility; the introduction of product innovations in the market, especially of fundamentally new ones, decreases. The examination of organizational forms of innovation management in mechanical engineering enterprises indicated the lack of complementarity of innovation management and quality management systems, as well as a low level of staff involvement in these improvement processes. The necessity of eliminating these deficiencies in management for increasing the innovative potential of enterprises and achieving cognitive self-sufficiency is underlined. It is noted that the principles underlying modern quality management systems can be used to solve these problems.
Keywords: mechanical engineering, economic dynamics, innovative activity, innovative potential, quality management, cognitive self-sufficiency of the enterprise.

The Problems of Realizing the Innovative Potential of Science and Mechanisms for their Solution (p. 149 - 153)
The aim of the article is revealing reasons for the low payoff of science in terms of the effectiveness of the research activity and demand for its results in economic spheres, identifying problems in the innovation activity of research institutions and reasons for their arising, searching for fundamental approaches to the development of a strategy and mechanisms for realization of the innovative potential of science to strengthen its position in the real sector. The study used general scientific methods, including: systems approach — to systematize the problems of the innovation activity of research institutions; methods of theoretical generalization — to study the theoretical principles of the scientific and innovation activity; methods of analysis and synthesis — to search for fundamental approaches to the development of mechanisms for realization of the innovative potential of science. The used concepts of scientific activity and innovations are generalized. The author’s definition of the term “innovation” is proposed. The main reasons of the minor impact of science on the economy are systematized, the mechanisms for their elimination are offered. Based on the comprehensive analysis of the reasons for losing by science its impact on the economy, the ways of realizing the innovative potential of science are improved. The results of the research can be used in reforming domestic scientific research institutions.
Keywords: science, innovation, innovative potential.

Influence of the Budgetary Decentralization on the Economic Growth of Regions of Ukraine: Statistical Estimation (p. 154 - 160)
The aim of the article is to define, determine and analyze the interrelationships between the budgetary decentralization and the economic growth of regions of Ukraine under conditions of reforming the power and financial resources. A statistical estimation of the influence of the budgetary decentralization on the economic growth of regions of Ukraine for 2015-2016 is carried out. The application of the panel data modeling allowed to build econometric models that made it possible to determine the ambiguous nature of the budgetary decentralization and identify key factors of its influence. It is shown that in terms of the income and expenditures the budgetary decentralization is positively associated with the economic growth of regions of Ukraine during the chosen time range of the study. The dynamic growth of the own revenues of local budgets is not a catalyst for the economic development of the regions. A strong negative effect of transfers on the dependent variable is confirmed. Among the variables included in the model and additionally characterizing the budgetary decentralization, the single tax and subsidies for the socio-economic development of individual territories attract attention. As a result of the study, the author justifies the need to minimize the transfer dependence of the regions at a simultaneous increasing of their own revenue base with local taxes and fees serving as a reliable basis for a long-term planning and development.
Keywords: budget policy, economic growth, decentralization, panel data, development of regions.

Regional Infrastructure: Modernization, Priorities and Development Prospects (p. 161 - 168)
The aim of the article is to review the methodologies for classification of the composition of regional infrastructure. In our opinion, today the scientific substantiation of modern tools of the development and modernization of the regional infrastructure remains a particularly urgent and difficult research task. Currently the term “regional infrastructure” is used quite actively in the scientific circles, but neither in normative legal and methodological documents nor in the practice of regional administration has it been unambiguously defined. The article analyzes the theoretical and methodological issues of defining regional infrastructure as a separate category and reveals some lack of regulation of the categorical apparatus in the sphere of regional infrastructure at the legislative level. It is also pointed out that little attention is paid to the issues of regional and local infrastructure as a complex management object, the development of infrastructure policies at the regional level, and the organizational and economic mechanism for its development. The article examines the world trends of spatial development and determines their inevitable impact on the modernization of infrastructure support of the region. The organizational and methodological provisions of the development of regional infrastructure considered at the present stage prove the necessity of forming modern approaches to the scientific definition and management of regional infrastructure.
Keywords: regional infrastructure, limited resources, infrastructure development, regional socio-economic systems.

On the Issue of Forming a Methodical Approach to Assessing the Investment Attractiveness of Regions of Ukraine (p. 169 - 175)
The aim of the article is to further develop the scientific principles of formation of methodological approaches to assessing the investment attractiveness of regions of Ukraine. The content of the economic category “innovation and investment climate” is investigated. There systematized factors of formation and evaluation of the innovation and investment climate, including economic, political, legal, scientific and technical, natural and social ones, which differ in the level of their mobility / inertia. It is shown that practically any legislative efforts of the government to create a favorable innovation and investment climate can be blocked by the authorities locally, while efforts to form an economic mechanism at this level can compensate certain shortcomings in the whole state economic regulation. The volume of direct foreign investments for the period starting from 2010 is analyzed. There proposed a methodological approach to assessing the investment attractiveness of regions of Ukraine with consideration for generalized indicators: level of general economic development; level of investment infrastructure development in the region; demographic characteristics of the region; level of criminogenic, environmental and other risks. Each synthesized indicator is determined by the aggregate of the analytical indicators included in their composition. The quantitative value of each synthesized indicator is obtained by summing the rank values (in the system of regions) that are part of the analytical indicators. An investment passport should provide investment support for regulating the development of a region. There proposed a scheme for formation of an investment passport taking into account the information data system.
Keywords: innovation and investment climate, factors, methodological approach, investment attractiveness of a region, investment region, investment passport.

The Problems of Payment for Land at the Implementation of Investment Projects on Redevelopment of Industrial Areas in the City of Kiev (p. 176 - 183)
The aim of the article is to determine the amount of fees to be paid by investors for the industrial areas subject to renovation at the stage of approving the relevant project documentation at implementing projects on redevelopment of these areas in the city of Kiev and identify a mechanism for encouraging and stimulating investments in this industry. Despite the complicated procedure for implementing a project on redevelopment (renovation) of industrial areas, it is worth noting that one of quite significant capital-intensive categories of investment activity that creates a certain additional “barrier” for investors is overhead cost, namely, payment for land. That is, at the stage of development, coordination of projects on reorganization of industrial areas, an investor has already to pay a fee for land plots gaining no economic income from these territories. The maximum amount of land tax to be paid by investors for the actual functional use of these lands is 72.51 million UAH / year. Thus, in order to make the redevelopment of large industrial territories attractive to investors, the city authorities should act as a full partner and take a number of obligations, namely, to introduce special investment rules and mechanisms, for example, to significantly shorten the time for review and approval of relevant projects (transferring industrial facilities, changing the purpose of land, constructing new real estate properties, etc.), grant tax breaks (“holidays”) for this period, take the responsibility for organizing the transfer of production facilities and defray part of the costs related to it and after completion of the investment project to transfer the land to the investor without equity participation in a predetermined period.
Keywords: redevelopment, investor, land use, industrial territories, investments, payment for land.

Scientific Approaches to Determining the Economic Essence of Investment Activity of Ukrainian Enterprises and its Evaluation (p. 184 - 192)
The aim of the article is to systematize theoretical approaches to determining the economic essence of investment activity of enterprises and general evaluation of the current trends in its changing in Ukraine. Based on the analysis of differences in scientific approaches, it is found that investment activity can be considered both as a characteristic of an investment process and as intensity of investing. As a result of the research, there suggested a combination of these approaches that makes it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of actions aimed at increasing investment attractiveness, reducing investment risks and gives grounds for drawing conclusions about the level of innovative development of enterprises, intellectualization of production, activation of human capital of an enterprise and its social responsibility. The study of the level of investment activity in the economy of Ukraine, which was carried out using estimation of gross fixed capital formation, shows a stable tendency to its decreasing. This situation provides prerequisites for further de-industrialization of the national economy. Prospects for further research are substantiated by the need to develop theoretical provisions for formation of a system of indicators for evaluating the level of investment activity of enterprises and justification of the mechanism for ensuring investment activity that would contribute to increasing the value added at enterprises through activation of human capital, innovative development and efficient use of resources.
Keywords: investment activity, investment process, investment intensity, activation of human capital, gross fixed capital formation

The Integral Index as a Means for Determining Financial Stability of a Small Hotel (p. 193 - 199)
The aim of the article is to develop and substantiate a methodology for evaluating the integral index of financial stability of hotels. By analyzing scientific works of foreign and Ukrainian scientists, there studied different methods for evaluating the financial stability of enterprises that take into account factors affecting their economic activities. The advantages of using the integrated approach to evaluating and forecasting the financial condition of small hotels are identified. In the work there offered a method for evaluating the integral index of financial stability of a hotel based on the principles of qualimetry and simple regression analysis. The tree of properties of the integral index includes all coefficients that affect financial stability and are calculated from the financial statements of a hotel, as well as the probability of bankruptcy calculated by four models. It is justified that the combination of the qualimetric and regression analysis allows not only to obtain integral characteristics of the financial stability index of a hotel, but also to make quantitative evaluation of the average speed and direction of its dynamics. Given a sufficient number of statistical observations, the results obtained can be used to determine the interval for evaluating types of financial stability of a hotel and forecasting its integral index.
Keywords: financial stability of a hotel, integral index, qualimetric analysis, regression model.

Using Innovation Management Concepts to Improve the Functioning of Supply Chains (p. 200 - 209)
The aim of the article is to clarify the advantages of integrating innovation management concepts and their using to improve the functioning of supply chains. The evolution of innovation management concepts in the context of their application in the logistic activity of enterprises is examined, their mutual influence and combinations, features and advantages are investigated. The expediency of using innovation concepts of enterprise management not just at the micro-level of the economy but also at the meso- and meta-levels, that is, in the network structures of business and supply chains, is grounded. The application of tools of innovation management concepts to analyze and improve the functioning of supply chains is proposed. To identify and eliminate bottlenecks in supply chains, a sequence of stages of implementing an integrated solution is developed and their content, which comprises the concept of Supply Chain Management (SCM), Theory of Constraints (TOC), Lean Production Concept (LP), Resource-Based View (RBV), 6-Sigma Theory and Balanced Scorecard (BSC), is described. There identified prospects for using integrated solutions, which allow creating a significant synergy of innovation logistic concepts, ensuring the overcoming of certain drawbacks of the concepts, moving to a new level of management of the business processes of the national economy.

The Synthesis of the Hierarchical Structure of Information Resources for Management of Electronic Commerce Entities (p. 210 - 216)
The aim of the article is to develop the theoretical bases for the classification and coding of economic information and the scientific justification of the content of information resources of an electronic commerce enterprise. The essence of information resources for management of electronic business entities is investigated. It is proved that the organization of accounting in e-commerce systems is advisable to be built on the basis of two circuits: accounting for financial flows and accounting associated with transformation of business factors in products and services as a result of production activities. There presented a sequence of accounting organization that allows to combine the both circuits in a single information system, which provides a possibility for the integrated replenishment and distributed simultaneous use of the e-commerce system by all groups of users. It is proved that the guarantee of efficient activity of the information management system of electronic commerce entities is a proper systematization of the aggregate of information resources on economic facts and operations of an enterprise in accordance with the management tasks by building the hierarchy of accounting nomenclatures. It is suggested to understand nomenclature as an objective, primary information aggregate concerning a certain fact of the economic activity of an enterprise, which is characterized by minimum requisites, is entered into the database of the information system and is to be reflected in the accounting system. It is proposed to build a database of e-commerce systems as a part of directories (constants, personnel, goods / products, suppliers, buyers) and the hierarchy of accounting nomenclatures. The package of documents regulating the organization of accounting at an enterprise should include: the provision on the accounting services, the order on the accounting policy, the job descriptions, the schedules of information exchange, the report card and the schedule for drawing up internal and external reporting forms.
Keywords: electronic commerce, organization of accounting, management information resources, database, accounting nomenclatures.

The Benchmarking of Integrated Business Structures (p. 217 - 222)
The aim of the article is to study the role of the benchmarking in the process of integration of business structures in the aspect of knowledge sharing. The results of studying the essential content of the concept “integrated business structure” and its semantic analysis made it possible to form our own understanding of this category with an emphasis on the need to consider it in the plane of three projections — legal, economic and organizational one. The economic projection of the essential content of integration associations of business units is supported by the organizational projection, which is expressed through such essential aspects as existence of a single center that makes key decisions; understanding integration as knowledge sharing; using the benchmarking as exchange of experience on key business processes. Understanding the process of integration of business units in the aspect of knowledge sharing involves obtaining certain information benefits. Using the benchmarking as exchange of experience on key business processes in integrated business structures will help improve the basic production processes, increase the efficiency of activity of both the individual business unit and the IBS as a whole.
Keywords: integration, integrated business structures, benchmarking, knowledge sharing.

Diagnosis of Diversification Processes at an Enterprise (p. 223 - 228)
The aim of the article is formation and development of theoretical and methodological basis for diagnosing diversification processes at an enterprise in the context and on the basis of theory and practice of economics and enterprise management. It is found that: 1) one of the most common ways of development of an enterprise is diversification, which contributes to effective implementation of its development strategy and formation of its prospects; 2) diagnosis of diversification processes at an enterprise is a targeted evaluation of its state, trends and development prospects associated with identification of new spheres (branches) of activities and penetration into them, development of new production technologies and markets, expansion of the range of products (goods), which is most conducive to effective realization of competitive advantages of an enterprise with the purpose of maximization of its incomes received from all directions of its activity and minimization of expected risks. It is determined that the key business indicators of the diagnostic system are indicators that reflect the level of diversification of an enterprise’s activities: the absolute level of diversification; the transformed concentration index; the Berry index / the Herfindahl-Hirschman index; the concentration ratio of the sphere of activity (branch) according to the descending (or increasing) principle; the entropy index; the Atton index; the index of diversification; the level of risk. The prospect for further scientific and practical research in this area is development of a multi-criteria system for diagnosing the activities of enterprises, taking into account diagnosis of diversification processes at an enterprise as a partial diagnostic purpose of the system of partial diagnostic purposes of the multi-criteria system of economic diagnosis of an enterprise.

Impression Management: Current Practice and Recommendations (p. 229 - 234)
The aim of the work is to identify current trends in impression management on the basis of sociological research and develop recommendations to managers, employees of personnel management services, social workers on peculiarities of impression management. The relevance of the article is in studying the strengthening desire of people to influence each other. Among the objectives of the influence the most common one is the desire to create a good impression on others. This point was chosen by 91 % of the respondents. However, the use of various impression management techniques is ambiguous in its consequences, and, therefore, can constitute significant risks for effective management and interpersonal interaction. At the present stage the conducted studies are mainly related to considering peculiarities of application of impression management techniques in narrow scientific and applied fields. The article proves the wide prevalence of the use of impression management techniques in the business sphere and informal environment, their high effectiveness and negative consequences of their application. Prospect for further research in this direction are development and implementation of practical systematic measures to overcome the negative consequences of using the tactics of impression management as well as improving their effectiveness.
Keywords: perception, effective communication, methods of impression management, mistakes in decision making, manipulation.

Rent and Rent Seeking Behavior in the System of Integration Relations in the Agrarian Sector of Economy (p. 235 - 244)
The aim of the article is to improve the theoretical and methodological basis of rental relations and rent seeking behavior in the system of integration relations in the agricultural sector of economy. It is shown that the system of economic mechanisms of integration relations in the agrarian sector of economy includes one of the most important and at the same time the most controversial elements — rent seeking behavior. The dialectical unity of rental and integration relations in the agricultural sector of economy follows from the nature of rent itself, its interconnection with economic relations as well as the place in the system of agrarian relations as a whole. This interdependence is empirically confirmed based on the dynamics of frequency of using the terms “integration” and “rent”, as well as their derivatives in scientific works with the Latin and Cyrillic script. The taxonomic system of rent in the modern economic paradigm is developed, rental principles of development of integrated business entities in the agricultural sector of economy are generalized. It is confirmed that the strategy of rent seeking under conditions of imperfection of state and market institutions is unproductive at the micro-level and destructive at the macro-level. Its consequences are the Dutch disease, excessive misuse of funds, low rates of economic development, deindustrialization and disintegration. A productive rent seeking, on the contrary, stimulates innovations, promotes rational distribution of property and resources in economy, raising the level of people’s well-being.
Keywords: rent, rent seeking behavior, integration, integration relations, agrarian sector of economy.

The Typology of Methodological Approaches to Development of Innovative Clusters (p. 245 - 250)
The aim of the article is to study the existing methodological approaches to assessing the development of enterprises for further substantiation of possibilities of their using by cluster associations. As a result of research, based on the analysis of scientific literature, the most applicable methodological approaches to assessing the development of enterprises are characterized. 8 methodical approaches to assessing the level of development of enterprises and 4 methodological approaches to assessing the level of development of clusters are singled out. Each of the approaches is characterized by the presence of certain advantages and disadvantages, but none of them allows to obtain a systematic assessment of all areas of cluster functioning, identify possible reserves for cluster competitiveness growth and characterize possible strategies for their future development. Taking into account peculiarities of the functioning and development of cluster associations of enterprises, we propose our own methodological approach for assessing the development of innovative cluster structures.
Keywords: methodological approach, level of development, innovative cluster.

Theoretical and Methodological Aspects of Assessing the Financial Stability of the Banking System (p. 251 - 263)
The aim of the article is to substantiate the directions and develop methodological tools for assessing the financial stability of the banking system. Taking into account the emergence character of the banking system as a complex systemic formation and the results of the analysis of scientific literature, arguments are given regarding the need to assess its financial stability using the following groups of indicators: intensity of the credit and financial interaction in the interbank market; functional load of the banking system in the context of ensuring macroeconomic development; structural changes and financial imbalances in the banking system and the activity of systemically important banks. There proposed a methodological approach to assessing the financial stability of the banking system, which implies quantitative integral assessment of its level and qualitative interpretation of the results using the methods of entropy and “golden section”, respectively. The application of the improved approach will allow identifying sources of risk distribution in the banking system and develop a set of effective regulatory measures in accordance with a certain level of its financial stability. Prospects for further research in this direction are to determine the dominants of ensuring the financial stability of the banking system as well as the threshold values of its assessment indicators, which serve to diagnose the crisis and can be used as a tool for the macro-prudential policy.
Keywords: financial stability, banking system, emergence, financial imbalances, systemically important banks.

Innovative Forms of Financing the Creation and Development of Small Business (p. 264 - 269)
For small enterprises, unlike large ones, the issue of fundraising emerges both in the process of their creation, development and current activity. Small enterprises are experiencing quite a high demand for additional sources of financing. The aim of the research is to study innovative forms of financing the creation and development of small enterprises, their advantages and disadvantages. At present in addition to traditional ways of raising capital, such as bank loans or public offering of shares among external investors (IPOs), there exist a number of alternative options. Among them the most common are grants, international programs, loans from international banks and financial institutions, such as EBRD (European Bank for Reconstruction and Development), IFC (International Finance Corporation), NEFCO (Nordic Environment Finance Corporation), KfW (Kreditanstalt f?r Wiederaufbau), fundraising, crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, and angel investment. The article studies in detail the last two ways of financing: their essence, components, positive and negative features, experience of application in Ukraine and the world. The research shows that crowdfunding is suitable for business development at the early stages, that is, for those enterprises that require, for example, to complete prototyping and start mass production of their first product. Business angels can be a good choice for enterprises that already have a permanent customer base and want to grow their business.
Keywords: small business, sources of financing, crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, business angels.

Measures to Prevent Financial Fraud and Legalization of Illicit Funds (p. 282 - 291)
The problems of preventing financial fraud and legalization of funds using mechanisms of the financial market are considered. The relevance of this problem in general and peculiar features of its research in developing economies are substantiated. The experience of organizations created to prevent the legalization of illicit funds is studied. It is determined that new organizations are created in response to the global challenges. It is justified that in Ukraine the fight against the legalization of illicit funds has actualized due to a lack of financial resources in the country, declaration of course towards European values and also as a result of the military conflict in the east of the country. The risk factors for financial fraud and illegal movement of financial flows are systematized according to the groups of conditions: pressure, favorable situation, propensity (justification). It is determined which levels of risk of generating illegal financial flows are inherent in different sectors of the economy depending on institutional factors. It is argued that the increase in the risks of illegal financial flows occurs under conditions of a low level of maturity of the institutional environment and a high level of information asymmetry. Types and tools of fraud in the financial market that increase the risks of illegal financial flows are systematized. It is determined that main types of fraud in the financial market are related to information manipulations and regulatory deficiencies. The world experience of legislative initiatives on counteracting the legalization of funds in financial markets is systematized. It is justified that, in order to prevent financial fraud and prevent legalization of illicit funds in Ukraine, it is necessary to ensure maximum transparency of information on the movement of financial flows in financial markets. In addition, regulators of the financial market should not only cooperate with each other but also prevent cases of evasion from punishment for fraud in financial markets or participation in schemes for the legalization of illicit funds.
Keywords: financial market, financial fraud, financial flows, legalization of illicit funds.

Professional Appraisers of Risks and Losses in the Insurance Market Infrastructure of Ukraine (p. 292 - 297)
The aim of the article is to elucidate the main differences between certain types of professional appraisers of risks and losses in the insurance market infrastructure of Ukraine. Analyzing and summarizing the provisions of regulatory legal acts and the results of researches by leading scientists in the field of insurance, it is determined that the range of functions of the underwriter at the stage preceding the conclusion of the insurance contract are somewhat wider than those of the surveyor, and the range of functions of the emergency commissioner at the stage of settlement of the insured event are wider than those of the appraiser, the average adjuster and the adjuster. Taking into account that professional appraisers of risks and losses as well as actuaries are responsible for the appraisals and recommendations provided by them, it is advisable to insure their professional responsibility. It is found that the number of certified emergency commissioners and actuaries is low in Ukraine, which requires further stimulation of the development of the insurance market infrastructure in terms of these components. Due to the fact that the work of the surveyor and adjuster is not legally regulated in Ukraine, these issues constitute prospects for further researches in this area.
Keywords: underwriter, surveyor, emergency commissioner, adjuster, average adjuster, insurance market infrastructure.

Social Factors of the Evolution of State Institutions (p. 298 - 303)
The aim of the article is a comprehensive study of social factors in the evolution of state institutions. By analyzing, systematizing and summarizing the scientific works of many scientists, the process of transformation of state institutions is considered in view of the features of Ukraine’s social and economic development and the impact of institutional changes on the social needs of society. As a result of the research, it is revealed that one of the main factors of social evolution is the culture of relations between the state, business and society. The logical and contradictory interaction of these subjects is analyzed, since based on them there formed an economy aimed at reviving social resources and ensuring both the stability of the social system and the dynamism of its development. It is determined that Ukraine requires urgent development of an integrated socio-economic development strategy that would include specific measures that can ensure improvement of the living standards of citizens, creation of a competitive economy, successful integration into the world and European space. It is substantiated that the system of relations “state – business – society” should be revised from the position of strengthening the importance of both social values and the business community facing the challenges of globalization. Prospects for further research in this area are justification of the strategic goals of the state social policy as a multi-level and multifunctional system that can ensure the country’s social and economic development by activating human capital and maximizing its innovative potential.
Keywords: social evolution, state institutions, social policies of corporations, households, civil society.

The Explication and Clarification of the Interpretation of the Concepts “Audit” and “Financial Audit” (p. 304 - 309)
The aim of the scientific article is explication, clarification of the interpretation of the concepts “audit” and “financial audit” taking into account their functional significance. Based on analyzing fundamental scientific achievements, legislative and normative documents, it is justified that the identification of the concepts “audit” and “financial audit” is inexpedient, since the latter by means of a transformation expands the functional hypostasis of the audit. It is proved that one of the topical issues of the scientific controversy on the problem is the practical application of financial audit as an active instrument of financial management, which will provide the management component of the business environment with the necessary information support that would correspond to the basic and strengthening criteria for qualitative characteristics of the information usefulness. It is substantiated that the financial audit is characterized by interdisciplinarity, which is advisable to be considered as interaction of the planes of audit and economic diagnostics. It is stated that the interdisciplinarity forms a set of features of financial audit.
Keywords: audit, financial audit, diagnostics, interpretation, planning, principles.

Calculating the Price for Derivative Financial Assets of Bessel Processes Using the Sturm-Liouville Theory (p. 310 - 316)
In the paper we apply the spectral theory to find the price for derivatives of financial assets assuming that the processes described are Markov processes and such that can be considered in the Hilbert space L^2 using the Sturm-Liouville theory. Bessel diffusion processes are used in studying Asian options. We consider the financial flows generated by the Bessel diffusions by expressing them in terms of the system of Bessel functions of the first kind, provided that they take into account the linear combination of the flow and its spatial derivative. Such expression enables calculating the size of the market portfolio and provides a measure of the amount of internal volatility in the market at any given moment, allows investigating the dynamics of the equity market. The expansion of the Green function in terms of the system of Bessel functions is expressed by an analytic formula that is convenient in calculating the volume of financial flows. All assumptions are natural, result in analytic formulas that are consistent with the empirical data and, when applied in practice, adequately reflect the processes in equity markets.
Keywords: spectral theory, financial flows, Bessel diffusion process, Bessel functions, Green function, singular parabolic operator, infinitesimal operator.

The Fuzzy Adaptation of Probabilistic Risk Indicators (p. 317 - 323)
The aim of the article is to develop fuzzy tools for measuring risk based on adaptation of corresponding indicators developed within the methodology of the probability theory. The study is limited to the situations where the economic indicator, which performs the function of a decision criterion and is an object of the analysis of the degree of risk, is modeled by a fuzzy number, and the latter is to be understood as a fuzzy value with a normal and convex membership function. Also in this case there applied the interval method, which describes fuzzy estimation of the criterion index by membership degrees. Within the framework of implementing the goal set, there consistently considered a number of probabilistic indicators of risk degree: mean absolute deviation, semideviation, coefficient of unfavorable deviations, ratio of expected losses (losses). For the latter, a modified version is proposed, in which the expected favorable and unfavorable deviations of the values of the criterion index are estimated taking into account the probability of their occurrence due to which it was called the weighted expected loss ratio. For the initial and modified version of the expected loss ratio, their fuzzy adaptations are formulated. According to the known property of the semideviation index, in the situation of probabilistic uncertainty the values of the coefficient of unfavorable deviations and the weighted expected loss ratio coincide. If the analyzed criterion index is described by a fuzzy estimate, the use of fuzzy adaptations of these coefficients in the general case leads to different results. It is also revealed that the fuzzy adaptation of the coefficient of unfavorable deviations coincides with the indicator of the degree of risk on the basis of a combined (hybrid) version of the possibility measure.
Keywords: uncertainty, fuzziness, measure of risk, mean absolute deviation, semideviation, expected loss ratio, coefficient of unfavorable deviations.

The Modeling of the Processes of Assessment and Analysis of the Level of Socio-Ecological-Economic Development of a Region (p. 324 - 330)
There presented results of the research of existing scientific and methodological, and theoretical approaches to management of the socio-ecological-economic development of a region with subsequent definition of priorities of the regional policy taking into account the concepts of security and development. Based on the study of literature sources and the analysis of the available statistical base, the problem of assessing the level of social, economic, ecological development, the level of sustainable development and the degree of harmonization of sustainable development of territorial systems of a region is formulated, and a possible method of its solution is suggested. The direction and nature of the cause-effect relationships between social tension and the levels of economic, environmental, social development and the level of sustainable development of a region are determined. There proposed a scheme to build models for assessing the effectiveness of levers for managing social, economic and environmental processes at the level of territorial systems in a region, taking into account the level of social tension and indicators of the investment component of development.
Keywords: sustainable development, territorial system, region, simulation model, Granger casualty test, social tension, harmonization of sustainable development.

Self-Evaluation of the Scientific Activity of a Higher Educational Institution (p. 331 - 339)
The article is dedicated to the problem of self-evaluation of the scientific activity of a higher educational institution (HEI) as a component of its overall ranking evaluation. On the basis of a potentially effective approach to studying this problem, there proposed a system of indicators for evaluating the scientific activity of a HEI, which makes it possible to determine the potential of its scientific activity in terms of staff and resource provision, and the efficiency — in terms of quality of the training of scientific staff (students, graduate students, young scientists, etc.), financial results of scientific activity and publication activity. To obtain an integral ranking score of the scientific activity of a HEI, the use of the taxonomic method is justified, the necessity of applying weight coefficients of the significance of primary indicators is determined. The approbation of the approach was carried out on the basis of the data of S. Kuznets KhNEU for the period of 2013-2016, which made it possible to obtain not only point estimates of the integral indicator of the scientific activity of an HEI but also determine the trends in its changes and identify their reasons. The proposed approach to the self-evaluation of the scientific activity of a HEI allows its administration to develop effective management solutions to increase the level of scientific activity of its scientific and pedagogical, and scientific staff, which will provide additional competitive advantages in the national and world educational space.
Keywords: self-evaluation, higher educational institution, scientific activity, integral indicator, potential, effectiveness.

The Institutional Bases of Investment Support for Rationalization of Agricultural Nature Management in Areas of Risk Farming (p. 340 - 346)
The features of the imbalance in agricultural nature management in areas of risk farming (drainage and irrigation areas, mountain territories) are determined. The main trends in the financing of capital investments and current expenditures for protection and rehabilitation of soil, groundwater and surface water are analyzed, which is a prerequisite for improving the institutional support for nature protection activities with respect to reproduction of the soil and water-resource potential. It is found that improving the institutional environment of investment support for nature protection and nature-exploitation activities is especially urgent for areas of risk farming, where balanced nature management is provided on the basis of coordinating the priorities for the use of land, water and biological resources. It is proved that the institutional bases of investing in the rationalization of agricultural land use in areas of risk farming should include proposals for expanding the set of incentives for financing the ecologization of the use of the agricultural resource potential, formation of public-private partnership agreements on the environmental reengineering of reclaimed territories and implementation of environmental investment projects within the framework of the Eastern Partnership programs.
Keywords: investment support, capital investments, agricultural nature management, risk farming, reengineering, public-private partnership.

Problems of Development and Increase of Economic Efficiency of Sugar Beet Production (p. 347 - 352)
The aim of the article is the studying of the trends of development and economic efficiency of sugar beet production (using the example of agricultural enterprises of Rokytne district of Kyiv region) and an attempt to outline the directions for improvement of the situation in the sugar beet industry. As a result of the research, the dynamics of development and economic efficiency of sugar beet production at farms of Rokytne district of Kyiv region is analyzed, and the break-even volume of sugar beet production by agrarian enterprises of Kiev region and an individual enterprise of Rokytne district is determined. Particular attention is paid to the dynamics of profitability of sugar beet production in the period from 2011 to 2015. The main problems hindering the development of sugar beet production are identified, namely, the lack of sales channels and high production costs. Prospects for further research in this area are to increase the economic efficiency of sugar beet production and find ways to develop this sector, provided that the production is properly organized, the manufacturing process is followed, the fertilizers are properly used, the seeds are chosen correctly, advanced technologies and high-performance equipment are applied, etc.
Keywords: sugar beet production, economic efficiency, profitability level, selling price, production cost, break-even point.
