Summarizing the Main Directions of Economic Growth and Development of Agriculture in Countries with Market Economy (p. 7 - 14)
The aim of the article is to determine the main directions of economic growth and development of agriculture in general. The economic development of the agricultural sector in countries with market economy, namely in the US and EU countries, is analyzed. Based on the analysis of works of a number of academic economists, the advantages of large agricultural enterprises over small ones are identified and summarized. As a result of the research, it is revealed that the most significant factors that influence the economic development of agricultural enterprises are their size and forms of ownership and management. At the same time, it is proved that only an increase in the scale of production does not ensure an increase in the economic effect. The increase in the scale of production should be accompanied by improvement of production technologies and perfection of the forms of intraeconomic organization of labor, as well as specialization and cooperation. Summing up all the issues of the economic priority of large agrarian enterprises discussed above, we can formulate the following conclusions. The provision on the operation of such economic laws as “identity of property and labor”, as well as “the law of the advantage of large enterprises” is scientifically justified. Having studied the main directions of economic growth in countries with market economy, it is proved that cooperation is the most effective type of management. This should be a priority and promising vector for our country.
Keywords: economic growth, economic development, agriculture, factors of influence, state policy, concentration of agriculture.

The Ways of Using Foreign Experience of Intermunicipal Investment Cooperation (p. 15 - 21)
The content and nature of intermunicipal investment cooperation (IMIC) are disclosed in the article. The aim of the article is to study the foreign experience of intermunicipal investment cooperation with a view to further introduction of local self-government into domestic practice. By analyzing and summarizing the scientific works of many scientists, in which the general experience and mechanism of intermunicipal cooperation is considered, the main features of the reasons for the existence and promotion of intermunicipal investment cooperation are revealed. Some foreign practices of the existence of intermunicipal investment cooperation are analyzed. There made a critical analysis regarding the forms of implementation of such cooperation. Features of the mechanism of functioning of various models of such cooperation are revealed. It is substantiated that the intermunicipal investment IMIC is not a fairly common practice and direction of cooperation between territorial communities and their government bodies. The legislation of most of the analyzed countries does not establish clear rules that would administer or regulate IMIC to an extent required by the practice of territorial management and development of territories. It is determined that a large number of forms, models and methods of implementing IMIC, despite even a certain rarity of their application, attests to the most important characteristic feature of it. It is stated that the following forms of IMIC should be considered as the most effective with regard to domestic practice of organization of local self-government and financial flows: establishment of a separate intermunicipal institution (body) authorized to manage or regulate the implementation of investment processes and administration of investment processes by concluding an administrative agreement.
Keywords: municipality, territorial community, intermunicipal investment cooperation, local government bodies, development of territories.

The Trends of Financing and Commercialization in the System of Higher Education in Ireland (p. 22 - 27)
The aim of the article is to determine the current trends in financing the higher education system in Ireland and identify the applied basis for the commercialization of the results of university research. The processes of modernization of the higher education system in the Republic of Ireland are analyzed. The role of higher education and science in ensuring economic growth of the country is disclosed. It is determined that the key vector in the modernization of the Irish higher education system is the improvement of the quality of educational services. Particular attention is paid to studying the financial aspects of the development of higher education in Ireland. Taking into account the pan-European tendency to reduce the amount of financing from the state budget, the necessity of diversifying the sources of financing for activities of Irish universities is substantiated. Under conditions of information economy, there is a growing demand of the business sector for results of scientific research. The authors note the priority of intensifying the commercialization processes, transferring innovation developments and inventions of university scientists to the real sector of the national economy. Prospects for further research are studying the leading experience of countries of the world in the effective modernization of the system of higher education; identifying the best world practices for the commercialization of research results of higher education institutions; defining approaches to their adaptation and directions of effective implementation in Ukraine.
Keywords: higher education system, higher education institution, sources of financing, commercialization, information economy.

Studying the Factors of Economic Growth in Countries of Central and Eastern Europe (p. 28 - 35)
The aim of the article is to study the impact of macroeconomic, technological and institutional indicators on economic growth of countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) using a panel data model. A sample of 12 CEE countries for the period 2006-2015 is analyzed. The following methods are used: 1) ordinary least squares (OLS), 2) fixed effects model (FE); 3) random effects model (RE). As a dependent variable there selected GDP per capita based on purchasing power parity, as an independent one — the exchange rate, export of high- and low-tech products, import of high-tech products, innovations. There used additional control variables: foreign direct investment, government efficiency, human capital, the Gini index, and public debt. The results of the study show that the devaluation of the monetary unit adversely affects the economic growth. Asymmetric results of the impact of high-technology and low-technology exports on GDP are obtained. The development of innovation and the improvement of the quality of human capital demonstrate a positive significant impact in terms of all specifications. The obtained results confirm that European integration supports non-price competition of CEE countries in the world market of high-tech products through participation in production networks of the EU-15.
Keywords: economic growth, high-tech exports, panel data, CEE countries, European integration.

The Analysis of the Main Macroeconomic Indicators of the Socio-Economic Development of Ukraine (p. 42 - 48)
The article deals with studying the most important macroeconomic indicators characterizing the trends in the social and economic development of Ukraine for the period 2010–2017. Particular attention is paid to the index of nominal and real gross domestic product (GDP), including per capita, and to the factors that restrain its growth. An analysis of inflation processes using the dynamics of price indices (GDP Deflator, Consumer Price Index) is carried out. Furthermore, the problem of unemployment and employment, their impact on GDP dynamics are highlighted. Some aspects of Ukraine’s financial and economic stability are assessed on the basis of analysis of the performance of government debt obligations, balance of payments, and investments. As a result of the conducted research, it is revealed that during the last 2016-2017 there observed a partial stabilization of the socio-economic state of the national economy and its transition to the phase of recovery (in particular, the real GDP growth was 2.5 %, inflation — only 1.3 %, and unemployment — only 0.2 %). However, the analyzed indicators testify to the still relatively low rates of economic recovery caused by the previous loss of production capacities, interbranch and logistics links in the interregional and foreign economic space, restriction of access to energy raw materials, devaluation of the national currency, and growth of investment risks. As a result, the directions of addressing the main unsolved problems for the transition to sustainable economic growth are outlined.
Keywords: macroeconomic indicators, GDP, inflation, unemployment, balance of payments, public debt, socio-economic development.

Monitoring the Implementation of State Regulation of National Economic Security (p. 55 - 61)
The aim of the article is to improve the methodological tools for monitoring the implementation of state regulation of national economic security. The approaches to defining the essence of the concept of “national economic security” are generalized. Assessment of the level of national economic security is a key element in monitoring the implementation of state regulation in this area. Recommendations for improving the methodology for assessing national economic security, the calculation algorithm of which includes four interrelated components (economic, political, social, spiritual one), suggests using analysis methods (correlation and cluster analysis, and taxonomy), which allows to determine the level and disproportion of development, can serve as a basis for monitoring the implementation of state regulation of national economic security. Such an approach to assessing national economic security makes it possible to determine the place (rank) that a country occupies in a totality of countries, the dynamics of changing ranks over a certain period of time, to identify problem components, and monitor the effectiveness of state regulation of the national economic security. It the course of the research it was determined that the economic sphere is the main problem component of ensuring the security of Ukraine’s economy. The analysis made it possible to identify the most problematic partial indicators in the economic sphere of Ukraine: economic globalization, uneven economic development, level of infrastructure, level of financial market development, level of economic instability, macroeconomic stability. These indicators have a stable negative dynamics and a downward trend, which requires an immediate intervention of state bodies to ensure the national economic security.
Keywords: economic security, monitoring, state regulation, management, integral assessment.

The Optimal Structure of the National Economy as a Guarantee of Sustainable Development of a State (p. 62 - 68)
The article considers the theoretical essence of the category “national economy” in a narrow and broad sense and identifies its following features: versatility of the links between its structural elements and their integrity; hierarchy of the structure of the national economy, dynamism, openness. The main trend of development of the national economy, which is manifested in the transformation processes, is determined. The following transformation processes of the national economy are identified: system-forming, system-affirming, system-reproducing. Theories of structural transformation of the national economy are considered. There determined relations that characterize the reproductive structure of the national economy: between the main stages of the movement of the aggregate social product; between the forms of the aggregate social product according to the natural-material composition; between elements and forms of the aggregate social product by a functional role; between the constituent parts of social production; between the replacement of the means of production used and the newly created products. Based on the data of the World Bank on the structure of the gross added value of groups of countries in terms of income and regional characteristics in the context of individual spheres, the practical analysis of the structure of the national economy in different countries is carried out. It is established that for the last five years the trend of development of enterprises in the sphere of services has grown.
Keywords: national economy, transformation processes, economic structure, typology, optimization.

The Substantiation of Priority Directions for the Structural and Technological Modernization of the Electricity Generation Sector (p. 69 - 86)
The article substantiates the necessity of the structural and technological modernization of the electricity generation sector of Ukraine in view of the promising directions of technological development of modern energy and the production sufficiency of domestic power engineering. A methodical approach to the selection of priority directions for structural and technological modernization of the Ukrainian electricity generation sector is proposed. The structural shifts in electricity consumption in the country are investigated. The production and consumption of electricity in the country, the specifics of regulation of daily “semi-peak” and “peak” loads, as well as seasonal fluctuations during the year are analyzed. The methods of base-load provision in the united energy system of Ukraine (UES), the level of flexibility of various types of power plants, the distribution of capacities for base-load provision in the UES by types of energy generation are analyzed. Comparison of the main recommended and actual parameters of the energy generation sector based on the data of 2016 is made, and the existence of significant unused reserves of electric power generation is proved. The possibility for optimizing the structure of the energy generation fleet is justified. The main structural measures for eliminating the problems of the national generation of electric power are identified. A comparative structural and technological characteristic of the sphere of electric energy generation is developed. There constructed a matrix of the positioning of technologies for generation of electric power by the adjusted operating expenses and capital investments as well as a matrix of comparison of technologies for generation of electric power by level of their development and level of market development. Comparison of advanced technologies for thermal generation of electric power until 2035 is made. There justified the choice of the list of technologies for electric power generation, which are expedient to introduce at Ukrainian power stations.
Keywords: electricity generation, power engineering, structural and technological modernization, structural shifts, electricity generation technologies.

The Analysis of the Regulatory Activity of Executive Authorities (p. 87 - 94)
The aim of the article is a detailed analysis of the regulatory activity of executive authorities. By systematizing and summarizing the available information on the implementation of the state regulatory policy in the context of analysis of the regulatory activity of executive authorities, the following issues are considered: the draft regulatory acts are reviewed for compliance with the principles and requirements of the state regulatory policy; the level of integration of Ukraine’s regulatory policy with that of the EU is determined by analyzing the fulfillment of Ukraine’s obligations on the implementation of EU norms regarding legislation; the ineffectiveness of ensuring and implementing the state regulatory policy is identified through determining the compliance of the priorities in ensuring and implementing the state regulatory policy with the available results. It is determined that at the present time there is a tendency to decline in the regulatory activity of executive authorities due to the formal and unsystematic nature of planning their regulatory activities and the failure to comply with the requirements of the Law of Ukraine “On the Principles of Regulatory Policy in Economic Activity”. Prospects for further research in this direction are to determine the impact of regulatory policy on the national economy by building an appropriate simulation model with the reflection of the relevant cause-effect relations.
Keywords: state regulatory policy, regulatory activity, executive authorities, draft regulatory acts, implementation of EU norms.

The Place of Ukraine in World Rankings as an Indicator of its Investment Attractiveness (p. 108 - 114)
The article is dedicated to the substantiation, based on world rankings, of top-priority measures for the formation of Ukraine’s investment attractiveness at the present stage of its development. The dynamics of direct foreign investment in the economy of Ukraine for 2012-2017 is analyzed, negative trends of recent years are established. The study of Ukraine’s positions in the main world rankings in 2015-2016 showed no significant positive changes in the country. The analysis of changes in the components of the indexes (subindexes) made it possible to identify factors that hamper the flow of foreign investment in the national economy of the country: the weakness of institutions that must ensure the rule of law, excessive regulation of the economy, concentration of power in the hands of oligarchic clans, significant corruption in the allocation of public funds, incompetent judicial system, etc. It is determined that priority measures should be aimed at eliminating or significantly weakening the influence of these “symptoms”. As a result, it is expected that both Ukraine’s positions in world rankings and activation of foreign investment will be strengthened.
Keywords: foreign direct investment, world rankings, index, subindex, corruption, competitiveness.

The Power Sector of Ukraine: Collapse or Survival (p. 122 - 134)
There considered the state of the basic traditional power industries of the Ukrainian economy: hydropower, nuclear, thermal one, which were put into operation as far back as in the time of the planned economy. The analysis of the hydropower industry has revealed its extreme inefficiency in terms of the use of space for the generation of a unit of electricity (1 TWh / year), which makes up 900 sq. km for the cascade of the Dnieper HPPs. This significantly exceeds the figures of the world hydropower industry (53 sq. km). The existence of the cascade of the Dnieper HPPs led to the practical destruction of shipping, as a result of which the country incurs annual losses from USD400 to 700 million. The existing nuclear power industry, whose security state is supported by the EU, is approaching the service life limit of 50 years, which cannot but affects the growth of the accident rate. As regards the existing thermal power industry, it is also approaching the limit of its possible service life and does not meet modern requirements either for input-output energy efficiency, not for the permissible level of pollutant emissions. Consequently, it is necessary to make a transition to the renewable power industry, but its growth rate is much less than is planned in the Energy Strategy. Therefore, the proposed development option will help overcome the onset of a national energy crisis by attracting investments (the increase in emission tax rates and the abolition of VAT for the import of modern equipment for TPPs) in modern efficient thermal power industry and stimulation of renewable power industry by eliminating the maximum power limit for green tariff users and justifying the growth of tariffs for energy in the short term.
Keywords: energy strategy, energy efficiency, emissions, technogenic catastrophes, renewable energy.

The Main Trends in the Labor Market and their Influence on the Staff Policy of Enterprises in Ukraine (p. 135 - 141)
The importance of a quick response to changes taking place in the labor market, adaptation to them of the staff policy of enterprises is determined by the need to maintain their competitiveness in the labor market. It is reasonable to monitor main trends in the labor market with a view to adapting the staff policy to changes in order to strengthen the competitive position and attract competent specialists. The aim of the article is to identify the main trends in the labor market and estimate their impact on the staff policy of enterprises in Ukraine. It is determined that the decrease in the number of economically active population, reduction in the supply of workplaces and increase in unemployment are characteristics of the Ukrainian modern labor market. At the same time, there observed a disproportionality between the supply of and demand for representatives of different professional categories. It is determined that the high turnover indices negatively characterize the staff policy and demonstrate that employers neither pay due attention to the issues of forming the employees’ engagement, loyalty nor create appropriate conditions for the fulfillment of their labor potential. The revealed tends lead to increased competition among employers in the labor market for competent specialists, which finally stimulates them to use various instruments for enhancing the enterprises’ attractiveness and the formation of a positive employer brand.
Keywords: labor market, staff policy, employment, unemployment, competitiveness.

Assessing the Level of Financial and Economic Security of Ukraine’s Regions: Methodology and Practice (p. 142 - 149)
Theoretical and methodological approaches to determining and assessing the level of financial and economic security at the regional level are studied. The aim of the article is to improve the methodology for assessing financial and economic security at the regional level based on the study of existing theoretical and methodological approaches, as well as to assess the level of financial and economic security of regions of Ukraine. Theoretical approaches to defining the category of financial and economic security and methodological approaches to its assessment are reviewed and summarized. It is proved that the financial and economic security of a region is a complex integral concept that combines the concepts of both financial and economic security. Given the simplicity and accessibility of the information base and transparency of calculations, the author established the appropriateness and sufficiency of a set of indicators for financial economic security. The assessment of the level of financial and economic security of regions of Ukraine is carried out. The necessity of developing a mechanism to ensure the financial and economic security of a region is substantiated. It is proved that in its development it is advisable to observe objectively existing principles of integrity, consistency, variability, coordination, and specialization. Based on the results of the study, conclusions are drawn on the need to formulate, develop and create an effective system for ensuring financial and economic security at the regional level in order to promote competitiveness of the regions and their investment attractiveness. The detailed development of the mechanism for ensuring the financial and economic security of a region as well as the planning and organization of its financial security should be the subject of further scientific research.
Keywords: financial and economic security, indicator, integral indicator, aggregate indicator, integral assessment, mechanism for ensuring financial and economic security of a region.

The Analysis of Approaches to Assessing Socio-Economic Security of a Region (p. 150 - 157)
Assessment of social and economic security of a region is used in determining the ways for ensuring it, selecting directions, guidelines and priorities for the development of the socio-economic system of a region. To assess the socio-economic security of a region, there needed an appropriate methodological base, the main element of which is the approach to assessment. There analyzed the content, advantages and limitations of approaches to assessing the socio-economic security of a region (the functional (or complex) approach, the indicator one, the index approach, ranking), which are available in the science of economic security of the meso level, and the presence of which can be regarded as a reflection of the contextual postmodern methodology of the science of economic security. The actual problems in the use of approaches to assessing social and economic security of a region that require resolving are outlined: the lack of justification for the number and type of primary indicators, their inconsistency, the lack of a reasonable base for comparison of the selected indicators, insufficient use of modeling capabilities, low operationalization of the methods of the analyzed approaches.
Keywords: region, social and economic security, assessment, approach, analysis, advantages, limitations, problems.

There proposed methods for determining the gross, net, actual, and specified payback periods for advanced investments in the long-term, which use the accumulated product of cash flow or accumulated cash flow as a source of financing. Analytic relationships between the gross, net, current, and specified payback periods for advanced investments that take into account the relationship between the accumulated gross, net, current and specified cash flows are proposed. The considered options for payback of advanced investment at the enterprise level will provide an opportunity to develop methods for determining the payback period for expenses on establishing the economic security service of an enterprise.
Keywords: economic security service of an enterprise; methods for calculating the payback period for expenses; short-term period; payback of investment; gross, net payback periods for advanced investments, gross, net cash flows, cash flow product.

A Methodology for Assessing Resource Potential of Innovation-Oriented Agricultural Enterprises (p. 207 - 213)
The article outlines the main stages of the procedure for quantitative assessment of resource potential of innovation-oriented agricultural enterprises taking into account the content of the concept of “enterprise resource potential”. These stages include assessment of the current state of the resource base (which involves determining quantitative and qualitative parameters of resources and resource productivity); quantitative measurement of resource use effectiveness; assessment of extent of using the potential. It is found that the peculiarity of the methodical approach to assessing resource potential of innovation-oriented agricultural commodity producers is determined by the need to investigate the capacity of their available resources to provide a sufficient (i.e., potentially possible) level of their innovation activity. It is determined that such an analysis should be carried out on the basis of comparing the results of the innovation activity of an economic entity and its competitors. There singled out methods for assessing the resource potential, including methods of structural-functional analysis, fuzzy logic, statistical and economic methods, methods of rationing, correlation analysis, integral assessment, taxonomic analysis, matrix methods, DEA analysis method.
Keywords: potential, resource potential, agricultural enterprises, innovations, assessment of resource potential.

An IT Audit as a Tool for Strategic Enterprise Management (p. 231 - 236)
The aim of the article is to form and develop the theoretical and methodological principles of an IT audit as a tool for strategic enterprise management. A scheme for converting economic information into data is presented. It is established that an IT audit (an audit of information technology) is an independent audit (examination) by an auditor (a competent specialist or a group of specialists) of the enterprise IT environment in order to obtain complete and objective information (reliable facts, qualitative and quantitative estimates) about its current state (the state of the given subsystem of the enterprise), form an objective audit report and provide recommendations for improving the IT environment. It is established that the main stages of the IT audit are 1) preliminary IT diagnostics; 2) IT infrastructure audit; 3) IT department audit; 4) IT security audit; 5) monitoring the implementation of IT audit recommendations. It is proved that conducting an IT audit on the basis of best practices in the field of information technology management of an enterprise (institution, organization) guarantees the observance of such modern management approaches as system approach, process approach, functional approach, process and structural approach as well as the principles of strategic management of the enterprise. The prospect for further research in this field is the study of the state of regulatory and legal support for an audit of information technology in Ukraine and member states of the European Union.
Keywords: enterprise, IT-audit, information technologies, information system, strategic management.

The Analysis of Effectiveness of Various Channels for Selling Agricultural Products (p. 237 - 242)
The aim of the article is to conduct an analysis of the agricultural products market in Ivano-Frankivsk region by assessing the main channels for selling products and the price level. By summarizing and analyzing the research of domestic scientists, the importance of conducting a qualitative and detailed market research in the system of intermediary activity is substantiated. Due to the results of the analysis of channels for selling agricultural products, it is revealed that intermediary structures have the largest market share. It is found that there is a tendency to increase the share of sold agricultural products to intermediaries both in Ukraine in general and in Ivano-Frankivsk region in particular. At the same time, direct sales on the market, and, therefore, direct contact with the end user, are decreasing year by year. Prospects for further research in this direction are searching for ways to reduce control over the agricultural market by intermediary structures.
Keywords: intermediaries, sales channel, agricultural enterprises, wholesale markets, marketing research.

From Corporate Social Responsibility to Corporate Sustainability: Features of Financing Sustainable Development (p. 243 - 250)
The theoretical basis of the concepts of corporate social responsibility and sustainable development are studied. It is revealed that scientists mainly distinguish two main stages in the evolution of the concept of corporate social responsibility. There argued the expediency of singling out the third stage of the development of the concept (version CSR 2.0), which is characterized by the integration of the theoretical and practical foundations of the concepts of CSR and sustainable development as well as by their implementation into activities of corporations. The presence of the necessary prerequisites for singling out the new stage in the evolution of these concepts (version CSR 3.0), which is based on the provisions of the collaborative theory and provides for the cooperation of social enterprises and sustainable corporations in achieving the goals of sustainable development, is revealed, its expediency is justified. The determinant of the stage is the use of opportunities for sustainable development, the dominant is the social orientation, and its content is characterized by the slogan “doing common good to do common well”. Using generalization, there identified the features of the established models of sustainable development of corporations by key aspects (goals, principles, methods). On this basis, the features of approaches to financing sustainable development at the macro and micro levels are determined, and the principles for financing the activities of corporations in the new conditions are defined. It is concluded that achieving sustainability requires an effective system of financing corporate measures aimed at sustainable development, for the creation of which in Ukraine it is necessary to use the experience of “best practices” at the national, local and corporate levels.
Keywords: sustainable development, corporate social responsibility, periodization, social enterprises, corporate models of sustainable development, financing.

Modernization of Theoretical Components of Managing Adaptive Changes in an Enterprise (p. 251 - 256)
The main aim of the article is to study and improve the theoretical basis for managing adaptive changes in an enterprise. An analysis of theoretical approaches to the definition of the concepts of “management”, “adaptation” and “change” is carried out. There proposed the author’s definition of the concept of “management”: management of an enterprise’s activities should be understood as a complex, multifaceted, dynamic process of the formation, adoption and implementation of decisions based on studying the laws, principles, methods, and tools for the formation, adoption, and implementation of decisions to achieve the planned objectives with regard to changes in the external and internal environment of the enterprise. There studied the main aim as well as the task of forming a mechanism for managing activities of enterprises, which made it possible to identify the key tasks of such a mechanism for agro-industrial enterprises. The investigation of theoretical bases of the definition of the concept of “adaptation” is carried out. There proposed the author’s definition of the concept of “adaptation” as a continuous process of studying the external and internal environment of an enterprise, developing and introducing changes in managing organizational and economic, legal, technological, and social components of enterprises to achieve the performance targets and improve the competitiveness of enterprises. There identified and grouped the main components of the mechanism for managing agricultural enterprises: organizational and economic, technological, legal, and social management mechanism.
Keywords: adaptation, changes, activity, management, mechanism, components, efficiency.

The Role of the State in Economic Development: the Main Theoretical Approaches (p. 257 - 264)
The aim of the article is to investigate the impact of institutional changes on the economic development of society and determine the extent to which the institutional status of the state is being realized under global uncertainty. Analyzing, systematizing and summarizing scientific works of a number of scientists, new approaches are considered with regard to the features of the functioning and interaction of state institutions as well as the creation of institutional foundations for the formation of an effective state policy adequate to the contemporary economic realities and the needs of society. As a result of the study, the conditions that modify the role of the state are characterized, differences in the interaction of the state and the economy at the current and previous stages of social and economic development are revealed. It is determined that the provision of the institutional status of the state under modern conditions involves both the continuation of the search for its socio-political formation and geostrategic identity and a significant transformation of the socio-economic development of society, in the process of which a multicomponent aggregate institutional system should be formed. It is substantiated that the process of Ukraine’s integration into the global competition environment calls for orientation towards an innovation model of development. There proved the necessity for searching for the criteria of effectiveness of reforms in the area of mutual complementation of state institutions and market institutions through the thoughtful use of the existing institutional and value resources of society. Prospects for further research in this direction are the definition of strategic objectives of the state policy regarding the provision of the institutional status of the state in the context of global changes.
Keywords: state institution, economic development of society, institutional changes, state regulation of the economy, economic policy, institutional status of the state.

The Concept of Sustainable Development as a Paradigm of Development of Sosiety (p. 265 - 273)
The article is dedicated to studying the concept of sustainable development as a new paradigm of development of humanity. The genesis of the evolution of the views of scientists on the goals, essence, and problems of the introduction of this concept are considered. The interpretation of the concept of “sustainable development” by scientists and practitioners is analyzed, and the main approaches to understanding its essence are grouped. The basic principles of sustainable development are singled out. The main approaches to assessing sustainable development of socio-economic systems at different levels, their content, goals, and features of application are investigated. The views of scientists on the path to achieving sustainable development are considered, and the key discussion aspects in solving this problem are identified. It is shown that the concept of sustainable development has undergone a long evolution and continues to develop in accordance with new global challenges. Sustainable development is associated with the formation of a fundamentally new attitude towards man: on the one hand, as a subject of the ecological and economic system, on the other hand, as the main goal of its development. It is substantiated that the transition to sustainable development on a global scale is possible only with the obligatory condition of coherence of all objects and subjects of this process, which is systemic in nature and connects all levels of the socio-economic system (the global, national, regional, local one) and various spheres of its functioning (the economic, social, ecological one).

Trust: a Psychological Category or an Economic Value? (p. 274 - 279)
The subject of the article is the analysis of key characteristics of modern economic theories in view of influence of trust on consumer behavior. The main forms of the wikinomistic and behavioral models of economy, their significance for society, key features of the application, as well as the role of trust in their functioning are considered. The basic principles that are unified for all the models under consideration are defined. The Chinese experience of administering and controlling the level of trust is studied with the aim of optimizing the country’s economy, forming consumer sentiments, and influencing behavior of citizens. The key weaknesses of the Chinese system of social rankings are identified. There revealed the negative influence of bureaucracy and state control on the economic models as well as on trust as an independent economic value capable of fundamentally influencing decisions made by market participants.
Keywords: wikinomics, sharing economy, system of social rankings, trust.

The Development Potential in the System of Potentials of an Industrial Enterprise (p. 280 - 286)
The aim of the article is to clarify the content and formulate a methodologically rigorous definition of the concept of enterprise development as a key category of management theory for restructuring industrial enterprises that provides the basis for a constructive definition of the concept of development potential and its place in the system of enterprise potentials. It is substantiated that the interpretation of the concept of enterprise development that is consistent with the philosophical concept of development should accumulate the concepts of competitiveness of an enterprise, as the ability to generate an acceptable profit on a long-term basis; the potential of an enterprise, as the ability to perform its basic activity characterizing the cumulative result of such activity, its marginal opportunities; the role of the structure of the enterprise as a system in the formation of its ultimate capabilities (potentials). It is shown that these requirements are met by the definition of the development process as a process of a purposeful transfer of the enterprise to a qualitatively new state described by broader opportunities for generating profits under the forecast conditions. At the same time, the structural adaptation of the enterprise to the new operating conditions is a tool for realizing the development process, which indicates the equivalence of the concepts of structural adaptability of an enterprise and its development potential. It is substantiated that the competitiveness of an enterprise is determined by its economic potential and development potential, which form the highest level of the hierarchy of potentials, the construction of which is possible in the course of decomposition of these potentials into their components according to the type of activity of the enterprise.
Keywords: industrial enterprises, development, development potential, hierarchy of potentials.

The Corporate Income Tax as a Set of Levers to Influence Enterprise Development (p. 287 - 293)
Effective functioning of the tax system is one of the main and determining components of the state activity. Taxes are one of the tools for withdrawing a part of the income of legal entities and individuals, among which the corporate income tax (CIT) is of particular importance. With the help of this tax, the state can stimulate the revival of investment and innovation activities, as well as the development of competitive relations. Therefore, the aim of the article is to study the corporate income tax as a set of levers to influence enterprise development. The article substantiates that the CIT presents a system of levers to influence enterprise development: 1) as a fiscal lever, it should be considered in terms of its capacity to fill the budget, since it is an important fiscal tool in the public finance system of each country; 2) as an economic lever, it provides for the possibility of certain manipulative actions with the tax base by using accelerated depreciation; 3) as an investment lever, it should be considered as a means to influence the resolving of economic aspects concerning sources of attraction of investments to an enterprise; 4) as an information lever, it is one of the components of integrated changes in the sphere of taxation and indicates the effectiveness of the government activity and further consequences of implementing the state policy in the sphere of business; 5) as a tax culture, it assumes the consciousness of business entities in paying taxes to the state budget; 6) as a social lever, it provides for an effective implementation of certain changes in taxation, which contribute to positive social consequences, thereby bringing the country’s economy to a new, more effective level. Applying a synergistic approach to the system of CIT levers, it is quite possible that the enterprise can achieve qualitative development, raise its level in the general state sphere as an attractive investment object for domestic and foreign citizens.
Keywords: corporate income tax, fiscal lever, economic lever, investment lever, information lever, tax culture, social lever.

Strengthening the Budgetary Potential of Local Budgets in Ukraine in the Context of Financial Decentralization (p. 294 - 299)
A real financial decentralization should contribute to strengthening the budgetary potential of local budgets as the basis and necessary condition for the socio-economic development of administrative-territorial entities. The aim of the article is to analyze the budgetary potential in the context of financial decentralization and identify ways of its strengthening for the development of regions of Ukraine. The economic essence and components of the budgetary potential of local budgets are considered. To date, the basis of a modern regional development strategy should be creating conditions for maximum use of the existing budgetary potential, which plays a decisive role in the performance by local authorities of the functions and powers assigned to them in accordance with the Constitution and Ukrainian legislation. The analysis of the main components of the budgetary potential of local budgets is carried out, and the directions for their realization in a greater degree are outlined. Recommendations for strengthening the budgetary potential in the context of deepening the financial (budgetary) decentralization are developed.
Keywords: budget, budgetary potential, tax potential, taxes, budgetary decentralization, reserves.

The Adaptive and Coherent Institutional Architectonics of Tax Regulation (p. 300 - 307)
It is determined that insufficient attention has been paid to the disclosure of the content of the adaptive and coherent institutional architectonics of tax regulation, and, therefore, this direction of scientific and practical research is relevant. It is proved that the adaptive and coherent institutional architecture of tax regulation is based on the system of tax regulation ensuring the adequacy and connection of regulatory measures with the economic and social development of a country by achieving and maintaining the most optimal relationships between the elements of this system. The adaptability and coherence of institutional architectonics of tax regulation in the process of implementing the Strategy of Sustainable Development “Ukraine — 2020” is revealed. The consequences of the imbalance in the development of institutional architectonics of tax regulation and examples of institutional gaps are shown. The effect of attractors and repellers on business and the development of institutional architectonics of tax regulation is disclosed. The analysis of institutional indicators of attractors and repellers of the current tax regulation policy is carried out taking into account the geopolitical position of Ukraine in the context of international tax competition.
Keywords: taxes, taxation, tax regulation, architectonics, social and economic development.

Mobbing: the Essence and the Institutional Framework for Protection of Workers (p. 315 - 320)
The aim of the article is to develop propositions regarding the implementation of responsibility for mobbing at the legislative level. The concept of “mobbing”, reasons for its occurrence, indicators of manifestation and consequences for the activity both at the level of the enterprise and from the point of view of an individual are explored. Examples of European countries on the regulation of mobbing at the legislative level, in particular the responsibility for psychological pressure, are considered. Based on the analysis of legal and regulatory documents of foreign countries and the Ukrainian legal framework, it is concluded that it is important to study the problem of psychological abuse and combat it, including at the state level. It is determined that now Ukraine has no legislatively fixed definition of the concept of “mobbing” and, accordingly, the mechanisms for regulating this phenomenon.
Keywords: mobbing, psychological pressure, psychological abuse, mobber, conflict, prevention of mobbing.

Features of the Genesis of the Concept of Doubtful and Bad Debts, Organization of their Accounting and Assessment, Creation of a Reserve (p. 321 - 326)
The problem of defining the concept and content of doubtful and bad debts as well as the possibility of improving their accounting and creating a reserve is considered. Further steps to disclose the essence of the concept, qualitative characteristics of doubtful and bad debts under modern economic conditions, to ensure identification and cognition of accounting processes are taken; the debt in value terms is considered; reasons for its depreciation over time are identified, providing for the recording of transactions in accordance with their essence and not only on the basis of legal form. Methods of calculating, accumulating funds to create a reserve for the repayment of doubtful and bad debts and organization of their accounting are scientifically studied; recommendations on improving the accounting of the debt reserve when using various ways of its reflection in the balance sheet, accrual by journal entries and writing off by means of the documents “Debt adjustment” are given. Characteristics of methods for calculating doubtful debts are presented, examples of the mechanism for calculating the amount of the reserve are considered. The conclusions drawn are that the choice of the method strongly influences the final indicators, because using any method of calculating the reserve we receive different amounts of it, which changes the situation for the worse. In the course of the study, differences in approaches to the valuation, writing off and formation of a debt reserve are revealed as well.
Keywords: doubtful debts, bad debts, accounting, debt reserve, management, risk.

Accounting in the Context of the Implementation of Production Sharing Agreements (p. 327 - 332)
The aim of the article is to study the problems of accounting in the context of the implementation of production sharing agreements (PSAs) concerning development of proposals for their solution. Therefore, the main tasks considered are the assessment of the legal framework for regulation of accounting in the context of the implementation of production sharing agreements in accordance with the current legislation, a critical analysis of the unsettled provisions of the current legislation acts for the practical need, to generate information on specific accounting objects for management purposes. The ways of their solving based on the methodology for the accounting of PSAs are suggested. The methodology and scientific approaches of the research imply general scientific and specific research methods associated with complex processes of the functioning of the system for managing business entities in languages of the PSA implementation. There proposed a scheme for accounting in the context of the PSA implementation, which allows introducing in the accounting system objects that are new and characteristic only for the PSA. The practical significance is that the obtained results make it possible to separate compensation costs, single social contribution, which is necessary for determining the object of taxation in the context of PSA; to generate information on compensation costs, which is necessary when dividing the products into compensatory and profitable ones, which allows to reflect in the accounting the division of finished products into compensatory, profitable for the investor and profitable for the state. The originality and value of the authors’ development contributes to the formation of reliable information about management objects in the PSA between enterprises and the state, with clear allocation of compensation costs, compensatory products, profitable products for the state and profitable products for the investor in separate accounts.
Keywords: accounting, production sharing agreement, compensation costs, compensatory products, profitable products for the state, profitable products for the investor, financial statements.

Methodological Aspects of Modeling Development and Viability of Systems and Counterparties in the Digital Economy (p. 333 - 341)
The aim of the article is to study and generalize methodological approaches to modeling economic development and viability of economic systems with consideration for risk, changing their goals, status, and behavior in the digital economy. The definition of categories of economic development and viability is offered, the directions of their research by means of mathematical modeling are grounded. The system of characteristics and markers of the external economic environment under conditions of digitalization of economic activity is analyzed. The theoretical foundations and methodology for mathematical modeling of development of economic systems as well as ensuring their viability and security under conditions of introducing infrastructure of information society and digital economy on the principles of the information and knowledge approach are considered. It is proved that in an information society, predictive model technologies are a growing safety resource. There studied prerequisites for replacing the traditional integration concept of evaluation, analysis, modeling, management, and administration of economic development based on a threat-oriented approach to the definition of security protectors, information, and knowledge. There proposed a concept of creating a database of models for examining trends and patterns of economic development, which, unlike traditional trend models of dynamics, identifies and iteratively conceptualizes processes based on a set of knowledgeable predictors based on the use of data mining and machine learning tools, including in-depth training.
Keywords: digital economy, development, viability, risk, safety protectors, data mining, machine learning, in-depth training.

Assessing Attractiveness of Packages of Profit Participation Rights at Transforming the Parameters for Distribution of Packages of Profit Participation Rights in a Business Entity (p. 342 - 350)
The peculiarity of the corporate form of business management is the presence of several owners of packages of profit participation rights, each of which has its own vision of the prospects and guidelines for the development of the business entity. Orientation to this situation made it possible to put forward a hypothesis about the dependence of attractiveness of a package of profit participation rights on the parameters for distributing corporate control in an business entity. Within the framework of this hypothesis, there proposed two sets of indicators that characterize, first, the efficiency of business activity and, secondly, the level of maturity of the mechanism for implementing corporate control. In this case, the independence of the first group of indicators from the specifics of the implementation of corporate control is expected. At the same time, it is proposed to differentiate the assessment process for the second group of indicators depending on the presence or absence of transactions for the transformation of corporate control. The assessment is based on the theory of fuzzy sets and the formation of hierarchical inference using the FuzzyTech software environment. At the same time, it is suggested to form various sets of rules for strategic and portfolio investors.
Keywords: corporate control, attractiveness of packages of profit participation rights, business entity, fuzzy inference.

Assessment of Enterprise Potential with the Help of Simulation Modeling (p. 351 - 357)
The object of the study is the process of assessing enterprise potential, which refers to the ability of an enterprise to carry out its activities. The paper presents a general conceptual model of enterprise potential. There built a model for calculating a resultant assessment of enterprise strategic potential using the simulation approach which allows taking into account the dynamics of enterprise resources and using several criteria for evaluating performance of an enterprise.Modifications of the built model, which make it possible to simplify the procedure for performing simulation experiments (including using analytical optimization models as components of the simulation model), are determined. The work was carried out within the framework of a study aimed at the formation and practical implementation of a system of models for assessing potential of a socially responsible enterprise.
Keywords: enterprise potential, strategic potential of an enterprise, effective assessment of enterprise potential, simulation of enterprise activity.

Econometric Models of Dependencies of the Tariffs in the Market for Information and Communication Services (p. 358 - 367)
The market for information and communication services in Ukraine is analyzed based on statistical data. Its main segments by revenue, namely mobile communications and Internet services, are identified. The main regularities of setting tariffs for these services in countries of the world are determined, depending on the welfare of the population, the democracy index, the index of information and communication technologies, as well as the corruption perception index. Scatter diagrams of dependence of the tariffs on mobile communications and the Internet on the GDP per capita are built. The parameters of single-factor and multifactorial models of influence of the GDP per capita, the index of democracy, and the index of information and communication technologies on tariffs for mobile communications and the Internet by regions of the world are investigated. The conclusion is drawn that the tariff policy of the operators of Ukraine is aimed at reaching broad layers of the population, and even after taking into account the effect of the level of the country’s economic development, tariffs remain too low.
Keywords: econometric model, tariffs, welfare of the population, information and communication services, mobile communications, Internet.

The Modeling of Enterprise Market Strategies under Uncertainty (p. 368 - 377)
The aim of the article is to consider the possibilities of applying a multimethod simulation paradigm in the modeling of enterprise market strategies (using the example of IT companies). By summarizing the works of a number of specialists, there identified the specific features of the functioning of IT companies in the market for information technologies and communications, as well as the problems of the formation and actualization of their strategies. The necessity of using special analysis and forecasting tools with ensuring anticipatory modeling and multivariate research of various scenarios for implementing market strategies of IT companies is emphasized. The correspondence to the given conditions of the method of simulation modeling is substantiated. A simulation model for the formation of a market strategy for an IT company, built using a multimethod simulation paradigm on the AnyLogic system platform, is proposed. System dynamics and agent-based approaches are used as the basic ones. The work of the model is illustrated by fragments of simulation experiments conducted based on the international IT company “NetCracker Technology”. The possibilities of parametrization of the experiments are demonstrated, directions for further improvement of the simulator model are indicated.
Keywords: enterprise, IT company, market strategy, simulation modeling, multimethod modeling, system dynamics, agent-based approach, simulation experiment.

Effect of Learning Effectiveness on Market Orientation, Innovation, and Performance of SMEs (p. 378 - 383)
Market uncertainty can be caused by a constantly changing consumer preference, and it is market uncertainty that drives companies to continue to innovate. Some research results indicate that learning effect the market orientation and innovations that occur within an organization. Nevertheless, research on influence of learning effectiveness on market orientation, innovation, and performance of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is still very minimal. Successful SMEs will contribute greatly to the development of the country by providing employment and increasing national income. Therefore, learning effectiveness and its impact on the market orientation, innovation, and performance of SMEs is of interest for researchers. This research explains the concept of training and its effect on market orientation, innovation, and performance of SMEs. In addition, the study proposes and tests effective training models and their impact on market orientation, innovation, and performance of SMEs.
Keywords: learning; market orientation; innovation; business performance; SME.

The Impact of Normative Monetary Valuation of Agricultural Land on Ensuring the Development of Low-Carbon Land Use (p. 384 - 389)
The aim of the article is to substantiate the prospects for introducing a low-carbon method of using agricultural land, which ensures a non-negative carbon balance in a reservoir of mineral soil. The need to offer financial and economic levers for its ensuring is determined. The importance of implementing the indicated changes is explained by the dynamics of quantitative parameters of agricultural production in comparison with characteristics of the existing qualitative state of soils. There proposed a direction of forming the financial and economic basis for introducing low-carbon land use through improvement of the pricing instrument for agricultural land plots, namely through supplementation of the method of normative monetary valuation with a coefficient taking into account the effect of change in the carbon reserves. The effectiveness of the proposed improvement is explained by the key influence of normative monetary valuation on the functioning of the system of financial and economic instruments that can be involved in economic transactions with land plots. The proposed approach provides the basis for the improvement of the processing of agricultural development programs as well as the restoration and conservation of agricultural resource potential.
Keywords: agroecological safety, low-carbon land use, normative monetary valuation of agricultural land, financial and economic instrument, reservoir of mineral soils.

Problems of Creating a Specialized Institution for Managing the State-Owned Agricultural Estate (p. 390 - 395)
The aim of the article is to develop a new model for managing the state-owned agricultural lands taking into account the European experience. The analysis of the functioning of land funds in countries of the European Union is carried out, the basic characteristic features of their activity are singled out and grouped. As a result of the research, it is proposed to create a state specialized institution for managing the state-owned agricultural estate, ensuring the implementation of the state policy and development of rural areas that, unlike existing ones, carry out scientific research activities. The activities will focus on ensuring the implementation of state policies to regulate the agricultural land market; consolidating agricultural land; settling the problem of collective land ownership and the issue of recognition of agricultural lands as escheat inheritance; realizing on behalf of the state of the preferential right to acquire agricultural land plots in case of their sale; conducting intermediary activity in the market for agricultural estate, etc. The existence of a state specialized institution will allow land users not only to utilize but also to dispose land resources. An interesting and promising way to manage the state-owned agricultural lands can be using public-private partnership.
Keywords: state specialized institution, management, state property.
