Socioeconomic and geospatial determinants of households’ food and non-food consumption dynamics within the West African Economic and Monetary Union

This article explores the cross-sectional properties of household's food and non-food consumption expenditures conceptualized as inter-dependent spatial random processes within the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU). To this end, the paper applies spatio-temporal econometric methods to data extracted from the first edition of the Harmonized Survey on Household Living Conditions (EHCVM, 2018/2019). The findings from the unconditional distribution of household economic wellbeing (measured by nominal per-capita food and non-food expenditures) using the inequality indicators of the Atkinson and Gini coefficients, suggest the presence of cross-sectional inequalities in household food and non-food wellness within WAEMU. However, food wellness inequality appeared lower than that of non-food wellness across the 8 countries. In addition, the economic security analysis, based on the indices of Watts, Sen, and Foster (aplha=1), highlight important spatial heterogeneity in household's vulnerability to poverty within-and-between WAEMU country members. Moreover, estimation of the semiparametric bivariate Gaussian copula model of food and non-food consumption expenditures, shows their significant dependence with household's demographic and geospatial characteristics, as well as the economic and health characteristics of the household head. Indeed, among other key findings, a gender based gradient in household's food and non-food wellness at respectively 3.6 and 4.4% is observed in favor of male headed households; along with an Urban/Rural divide in food and non-food wellness at 20.7% and 27.3%, respectively, in favor of urban households. Therefore, in line with goals 1, 2, 4, 5, 9 and 10 of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, the paper provides key insights for evidence based policy making within WAEMU.

An integrated analysis of enterprise economy security

With the complication of the business environment of commercial economic activity, competition intensifies, which threatens the bankruptcy of enterprises, the prevention of which requires quality monitoring and timely identification of crises using methods of comprehensive assessment and analysis of economic security. This research is aimed at conducting component-by-component and, as a result, integrated assessment of the state of economic security of the enterprise. Methodological research tools include analysis of the main components, causation and vector regression modeling. A resource-functional security model is developed (which consists of partial indicators and components of economic security of business) and a resource-functional approach to calculations is also applied. Using the data of the expert survey, the values of indicators of structural components of economic security of the enterprise are determined. Using the resource-functional approach, the integrated values of sub-indices and the integral values of the general level of economic security of the enterprise are calculated. According to the results of the assessment, it is established that the integrated level of economic security of the enterprise is 7.04 (sufficient level of security). However, the components of economic security identified critically low values, namely - the financial component (0.452), the information component (0.554), the institutional and legal component (0.647). The results of the study are of practical value for the development of technological schemes - algorithms for strengthening the financial, informational and institutional and legal security of the enterprise, making sound (using economic and mathematical tools) management decisions to ensure the trajectory of sustainable economic development.

Ekonomska sigurnost Bosne i Hercegovine kao deo sistema nacionalne sigurnosti

Due to the specifics of the political and economic system in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), in the recent history of the country it has not been possible to approach the problem and challenges of economic security comprehensively and seriously. The given circumstances reinforce the need for research and analysis of economic security in BiH in order to show the real situation. This paper analyses economic security as a part of national security, with the help of relevant indicators, and then the connection of economic security with the economic development of BiH. Methods of analysis, synthesis, compilation, correlation and linear regression were applied for research purposes. The aim of the research is an empirical analysis of economic security indicators in terms of determining the degree of interconnection of key variables of economic security (public debt, availability of financial resources, technological progress, investment in fixed assets, unemployment, military investment, foreign exchange reserves, budget deficit, GDP growth rate, etc.) for the period from 2008 to 2018. The results of the research clearly reveal that economic and national security are mutually interrelated, and that economic security is a precondition for national security, which confirms the main hypothesis of this paper.

The Impact of Conflict on Economic Security of the EnterPrise

Subject matter / theme. A research of the conflict impact on the economic security of the enterprise is presented. The conflict arisen in the enterprise can disengage the employees’ activities which results in hindering the successful work and is reflected in all areas of the enterprise operation. For this reason, a favorable social and psychological atmosphere is essential.Purposes / objectives. The purpose of this article is the research of the conflict impact on the economic security of the enterprise.To achieve the purpose, it is necessary to meet the objectives:1. To define the classification of conflicts in the enterprise depending on the conflict subject or the scope of its occurrence. To clarify the notion of contradiction.2. To identify the internal threats to the financial and economic security of the enterprise, the emergence of which can be provoked by an unfavorable socio-psychological situation in the team, the growth of moral tension and the unsettled in proper time conflict in the team of the enterprise.3. To suggest a conceptual scheme of the stages for forming an effective system of employee motivation at the enterprise.Methodology. The research uses economic security analysis with the use of conflictology theory; the economic and statistical methods of analysis, institutional approach and dialectical method of scientific cognition were applied at studying the role and impact of the conflict on the economic security of an enterprise.Results. There is no society with no contradictions, no conflicts, and there is no society with no certain level of security. Economic security is determined by the potential for conflict. With a low conflict level in the society and a higher security level, the external threats can be adequately neutralized by the system at other conditions being equal.The socio-economic conflict is a confrontation between the subjects of economic activity, their values and socio-economic interests.The notion of contradiction is broader in its content than the notion of an economic conflict. The economic conflict arises when people (as members of various social groups) realize the existing contradictions in their economic interests. The contradictions are objective and general; and the conflict is objective-subjective and specific.Conclusions / significance. Conflict in an enterprise is a specific kind of social conflict expressed in a clash of two or more opposing positions that concern both personal and business interests. Any conflict can be both creative and useful for the enterprise activity, as well as destructive and undesirable. Which consequences exactly will arise as a result of the conflict for the enterprise, mostly depends on the behavior style of the enterprise management in relation to the arisen conflict. Since the conflict affects all areas of activity, and conductors between the socio-psychological situation and the enterprise performance are employees of the enterprise, the presence of social tension in the work collective directly affects the economic security of the enterprise. In order to successfully resolve the conflict, any clash of interests should be considered as an opportunity for the emergence of new alternatives.

ПРАКТИЧНІ АСПЕКТИ ЗАСТОСУВАННЯ МОДЕЛІ ІНТЕГРАЛЬНОГО ОЦІНЮВАННЯ РІВНЯ ЕКОНОМІЧНОЇ БЕЗПЕКИ УКРАЇНИ

In modern times, it is believed that by reducing the risk of military intervention, military security has lost its relevance, and economic security has become a priority of national interests. The principle of economic security is as follows: national interests are supported through an economic system that supports free exchange and ensures the upward mobility of the nation. The analysis of economic security is based on the concept of national interests. It is well known that the problem of national security and its components cannot be considered only from the standpoint of current interests; it is closely related to the possibilities of their implementation over a significant, long-term period. Each stage of realization of national interests of the country is characterized by its assessment of its geopolitical, geostrategic and geoeconomic conditions, security threats and the main carriers of these threats, the mechanism of realization of national interests (each of the stages has its own assessment of the main definitions and categories of security, the main vectors of geoeconomic policy). Economic security is the foundation and material basis of national security. A state is in a state of security if it protects its own national interests and is able to defend them through political, economic, socio-psychological, military and other actions. There is a close connection between economic security and the system of national and state interests, and it is through this category that the problems of economic potential and economic power of the state, geopolitical and geoeconomic positions of the country in the modern world are intertwined. At a time when regional forces are trying to expand markets, provide access to finance and the latest technology, economic security has become a necessary component of the ability of regional forces to expand their influence. The article is devoted to the study of economic security of Ukraine and its components using the model of quantitative assessment of economic security of Ukraine. Using the Fishburne method, a model is built that allows to obtain an integrated assessment of the level of economic security based on the synthesis of nine partial indicators.

Системні взаємозв’язки бюджетної безпеки в умовах фінансової глобалізації

Глобалізація чинить подвійний вплив на світову фінансову систему, зумовлюючи її розвиток і одночасну появу потенційних загроз фінансовій безпеці держав. Незважаючи на стрімке переростання у реальні, більшість країн світу всерйоз ці загрози не сприймають. Посилення останніх обумовлює необхідність вивчення проблеми забезпечення бюджетної безпеки в умовах світової глобалізації, переосмислення напрямів формування ефективної бюджетної системи з позицій безпечного розвитку, зміцнення бюджетної безпеки держави. Потрібно детальніше дослідити чинники впливу на рівень бюджетної безпеки і її взаємозв’язки з іншими складниками економічної безпеки.
 Мета роботи – дослідити взаємозв’язки бюджетної безпеки з урахуванням впливу процесу фінансової глобалізації і оцінити її рівень на засадах ретроспективного аналізу.
 Запропоновано авторське трактування поняття бюджетної безпеки як рівня здатності бюджетної системи забезпечити платоспроможність і фінансову стійкість держави, ефективне використання бюджетних коштів з урахуванням стратегічних пріоритетів розвитку бюджетних відносин і потенційної спроможності протистояти та попереджати загрози внутрішнього і зовнішнього походження.
 Результати аналізу економічної безпеки вказують на найвищий темп зниження фінансової безпеки у 2015 р. на 14,1 в. п. до рівня у 36,7 % серед усіх складників економічної безпеки. Установлено, що така ситуація спричинена зниженням надходжень від основних бюджетноутворювальних податків за посилення фіскального тиску на економіку, різкою девальвацією національної валюти, значним зростанням державного та гарантованого державою боргу з посиленням ризиків настання дефолту, неліквідності й неплатоспроможності фінансових установ, скороченням ресурсної бази банків, проблемами з їх капіталізацією. Це визначило критичний і близький до критичного стан майже всіх складників фінансової безпеки.
 Проаналізовано сучасний стан індикаторів бюджетної безпеки. Оцінено кореляційні зв’язки між інтегральним рівнем бюджетної безпеки та іншими складниками економічної безпеки. Установлено чинники та взаємозв’язки впливу на рівень бюджетної безпеки. Пряму залежність і найбільший вплив на незадовільний рівень бюджетної безпеки спричинили абсолютно небезпечні рівні валютної та боргової безпеки. Обґрунтовано необхідність удосконалення методичного підходу до визначення рівня безпеки з урахуванням процесів глобалізації та чинників екзогенного й ендогенного походження, які відображають розмір тінізації економіки, боргового і фіскального навантаження на бюджет, інфляційних процесів та інших показників, ключових для формування надходжень до бюджету.
 Наукова новизна дослідження – за результатами аналітичного оцінювання взаємозв’язків бюджетної безпеки визначено методи, важелі та інструменти державного регулювання ризиків і загроз, проведено стратегічний моніторинг, прогнозування і реалізацію заходів превентивного характеру щодо забезпечення економічної безпеки.
 Практичне значення одержаних результатів – доведенно положення із удосконалення науково-методичних засад оцінювання рівня бюджетної безпеки держави з урахуванням взаємозв’язків бюджетної безпеки з іншими складниками економічної безпеки. Результати мають практичну цінність для органів державного управління під час формування стратегічних і програмних документів із забезпечення економічної безпеки держави.

Система угроз экономической безопасности национального хозяйства в современных условиях хозяйствования

This article from the perspective of the typology of threats to economic security analysis of the current state of the economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan is held. The authors investigated the relationship of category "economic security" with other categories, such as "danger", "challenge". As a result, it was concluded that these paired safety categories are useful to be defined as the possibility of negative effects on the economic system. In today´s economy of Kazakhstan a number of challenges of the XXI century are highlighted, leading to a fundamental change in the conditions of existence of human civilization. The authors proved that any factor that speeds up or slows down economic growth to some extent acts as threats or determinant of economic security. Under these circumstances, the most urgent is to examine the content of threats to economic security. The most common typology is the distinction between threats into external and internal ones, to the classification of threats within these types there is a large number of points of view. The author suggests the total system of threats of economic security of the national economy, formed on the basis of a study of classifications of different authors. In the analysis of external threats special attention is paid to the country´s foreign economic position. For Kazakhstan, this position is of crucial importance, since it is necessary to fight for the actual, not declared, economic independence. Key threats to the economic security of the Republic of Kazakhstan are defined: the raw nature of export activities; priority of foreign firms when choosing control subjects; high financial dependence on other countries; low level of infrastructure provision of foreign trade activ-ity as a deterrent to attract foreign investments. The most significant internal threats are: high levels of structural deformation of the economy; low level of competitiveness; lack of scientific and technical potential; monopolization of the economic sector; low investment activity and priority in investing in brokering and financial activities, but not in production.
