NON-STATIONARY ECONOMY: ESSENCE AND FEATURES OF FORMATION

Abstract

Introduction. The development of the national economy is determined by a large number of different factors. By its nature, the national economy is a complex system that develops in accordance with the basic provisions of the systems theory, synergy cyclically, going through both periods of prosperity and periods of decline with further restoration and transformation of the functioning. Scientists, studying the patterns and prerequisites for the development of economic systems, focus on the transition of this system from one state to the better state. However, there is a lack of scientific work, which analyses both theoretical and applied aspects of the national economy in difficult to predict, dissipative conditions. Methods. Within the study, a range of different in nature class and special methods of cognition is used. These include the following: content analysis, synthesis, generalization and comparative analysis, abstraction. An interdisciplinary approach, within which considerable attention is paid to methodological provisions of the systems theory and synergy, is also actively used. Results. Within the article, theoretical provisions of the non-stationary economy were considered. The analysis of scientific papers allowed us to conclude that scientists often use a range of synonymous words when considering non-stationary processes, namely: «instability», «unpredictability», «fluctuation», «stochasticity», «variability», «randomness». Taking this into account, the content of the non-stationary economy is determined. Getting acquainted with scientific papers in this direction allowed to single out its basic features and state a totally comprehensive nature of non-stationary processes when they occur in the national economy. Discussion. The obtained results of the study confirm the relevance of understanding the preconditions of the emergence of the signs of the non-stationarity within economic systems, but they also confirm the speed of its spread in the national economy. This requires new research in this area to find effective systems for detecting signs of non-stationarity, modelling the impact and consequences of its manifestation, finding new mechanisms to ensure the resilience of the national economy to new internal and external disturbances.
