Economic Efficiency of Public Administration in the Field of Digital Development

"In the article, based on the analysis of the essential characteristics of digitalization, it is proposed to consider the concept of efficiency in relation to the activities of public authorities as a generalized and interconnected series of such concepts as economy, qualimetricity, and effectiveness. The efficiency of public administration, including economic efficiency, is considered as the implementation of management, during which the set goals are achieved (solving a certain socially significant problem, satisfying the interests of the population, maintaining digital competitiveness of region and country) while minimizing costs and observing the current standards of digital maturity. It is proposed to understand the assessment of the effectiveness of public administration as a set of methods for measuring actual indicators that reflect the results of the public authorities’ activities within the framework of the strategies, programs, and projects being implemented in accordance with the criteria laid down in them, and in this case the assessment is seen as the direct result of such a measurement, which serves to compare the activities of public administration subjects, compare this activity with the declared goals, the results of past periods. The proposed leading and signal indicators can be used in planning and forecasting the level of digital development of regional socio-economic systems."

Features and factors of regional market development

The article is devoted to the study of the specific features of the functioning of the regional market on the example of the residential real estate market. The features of the development of the regional housing market as the most important component of the territorial economy and its types are considered. Modern and topical market problems that hinder regional growth are identified. All the most significant factors influencing the state of the regional housing market are systematized and grouped into supply and demand factors. The competitive environment in the regional market is being transformed under the influence of an increase in supply and the desire of manufacturers to reduce costs, as well as the development and improvement of alternative financing mechanisms. The trend of promoting the improvement of the living conditions of citizens for the development of regional socio-economic systems and raising the standard of living of the population is determined.

STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS OF TERRITORY DEVELOPMENT IN CRISIS CONDITIONS

The article is devoted to the analysis and generalization of the impact of crisis phenomena on the development of the regional economy, using the example of the current stage of socio-economic development of Ukraine, and the substantiation of the methodological principles and priorities of the development of the economy of the regions of the state in crisis conditions. The urgency of the problems of forming the priorities of anti-crisis management at the regional level has been proven. The principles and functions of the development of the regional economy in crisis conditions are substantiated, and the main problems that need to be solved are outlined. The regional economy can be interpreted as a system functioning in conditions of instability. In this case, the direction of the system's functioning in crisis conditions will be determined by the level and nature of threats, as well as the specifics of the internal structure of such a system and the stability of its individual components. Four priorities of the post-crisis development of regional socio-economic systems of Ukraine are summarized - guaranteeing security; quick recovery of business activity; preservation of horizontal connections between subjects of economic activity and components of economic systems at different levels; diversification of economic activity in the context of implementing the provisions of sustainable development and taking into account the priority of security. The concept of economic security of the state based on innovative sustainable development of regions is considered as the basis of the paradigm of modern anti-crisis management of the country's economy. The need to develop a unified state strategy based on the use of the provisions of the theory of security and the theory of crises, the principles of harmonious and innovative development of regions in the conditions of technoglobalism is substantiated.

The developed approach should be used to assess the current and future parameters of the development of regional socio-economic systems.

Implementation of a propulsive approach to the management of interregional integration processes

The determining factor for the successful development of regional socio-economic systems within the framework of their integration is the use of unique features of various profiles that some regions
 have, striving for integration interaction, but others lack. In this context, one of the most important directions of managing the processes of interregional integration is the use of a propulsive approach focused on the formation of the so-called the poles of interregional interaction within the framework of those industries that become catalysts for impulse processes that stimulate the acceleration of the progressive development of all regions involved in integration processes.

The purpose of the article is to develop tools for diagnosing the economic dynamics of regional socio-economic systems in the conditions of digitalization of economic relations on the basis of the modernized Cobb–Douglas production function. Much attention is given to methodological approaches to the formalized assessment of the impact of the digital transformation of the region on the parameters and prospects of its economic growth. The author draws attention to models determining the degree of influence of the main production factors (labor, capital, digital transformation) on the dynamics of gross regional product growth of the studied group of regions. Key patterns of the influence of digitalization of regional socio-economic systems of Volga Federal District on regional economic dynamics are revealed. It is stressed that the obtained results form the basis for the development of the most effective and adaptive directions of intensification of economic growth in the regions in accordance with the concept of diffusion of digital technologies into the economic environment. As a result, the author draws conclusions that the developed approach is advisable to use when conducting research in the field of assessing current and prospective parameters of the development of regional socio-economic systems in the new conditions of globalization and digitalization.

Impact of higher education on socio-economic development

In the article it is studied the influence of higher education on the development of regional socio-economic systems. Economic and statistical analysis revealed the impact of measures of higher education development on the GRP of the region. Highly significant factors were: salaries of faculty staff of the universities and internal research and development costs. These indicators indirectly reflect the degree of intellectual development in the region and show the impact of intellectual capital development on socio-economic development. University professors develop students' knowledge, which allows them to institutionalize higher education and spread it in the region. The quality of a university professor’s intelligence directly affects the formation of intellectual capital in the region. In addition, it was significant the number of students studied in bachelor's, specialty, and master's programs. Moreover, the higher the number of students per capita, the lower the GRP per capita, which is explained by their low incomes. In the article it was considered the differentiation of Federal districts and regions of the Russian Federation in terms of the development of the higher education system. Methods of dividing indicators and grouping were applied, which made it possible to make cartograms and visualize the differentiation of regions by the number of higher education institutions and by the number of graduates.

Formalization of Regional Strategies with Allowance for the Long-Term Consequences of the Interaction between Internal and External Components of Regional Socio-Economic Systems

Aim. The presented study aims to define a methodological approach to the formalization of regional strategies with allowance for the prospective benefits from the interaction between internal and external components of regional socio-economic systems for the national economy.Tasks. The authors determine the essence of strategic management of regional development by analyzing the internal processes of the interaction between subsystems, components, and elements of the region as a complex socio-economic system; compare the specific features of the functioning and interaction of administrative divisions in a planned and market economy; substantiate the principles of mutually beneficial interregional interaction and the need to improve supra-regional economic efficiency in view of the allowance made for the projected effects of interregional interaction in rational strategic planning; define the concept of strategic management of regional socio-economic systems and formulate an approach to the formation of the management process.Methods. This study use general scientific methods, including systems analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction, detalization and generalization, modelling.Results. The process of formation and coordination of regional strategies is conceptualized as a basic element of the organizational mechanism of strategic management of the functioning and development of regional socio-economic systems. A system diagram is provided that makes allowance for three hierarchical levels of management (federal, interregional, regional), each acting on the appropriate level of abstraction and introducing its inherent critical aspects of rational planning of national spatial development. It is shown that strategic planning of interregional interaction at the supra-regional level makes it advisable to develop multi-regional, multi-sectoral computer models that would help to achieve a state of interaction close to economic equilibrium, thus ensuring future functioning of the national economy based on the planning principle applied in a brand new way.Conclusions. The system of strategic management of regional development and interregional interaction should be a multilevel, hierarchically ordered mechanism for the formation and implementation of a strategic plan for the spatial development of the country. Such a system should be aimed at functionally maintaining social and economic, planned and competitive balance between national expediency determined by state strategic priorities and independent regional development guidelines without degenerating into bureaucratic formalism when creating regional development concepts on the one hand and without turning into a constant competitive struggle of divergent interests of the regions on the other. It is advisable to develop an integrated (supra-regional) approach to the strategic management of regions as regional socio-economic systems based on the conceptual organizational-managerial mechanism for their functioning and development. This approach should be aimed at achieving the planned supra-regional efficiency (socio-economic balance) using not-yet-manifested projected interregional synergetic and agglomeration effects from the use of interregional (national) infrastructure, scientifically based implementation of absolute and relative regional advantages in the process of determining and planning future regional specialization at the federal level, deployment and development of the territorial cores of intersectoral clusters serving as the starting points of growth for an optimally balanced crystal lattice of spatial development on the national scale, implementation of interregional interaction of expected quantity and quality, mathematically justified with allowance for the needs of interregional and intersectoral exchange, intra- and intersystem structures, elements, communicative relationships, dynamics and stages of the life cycle of industries, organizations, the ability to adapt to changes in the external environment of the regions included in the system.

DETERMINANTS OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC SPACE DEVELOPMENT OF UKRAINE: THE CONCEPT OF REGIONALIZATION IN FOCUS

Purpose - This article aims to present the results of a comprehensive analysis of the determinants of the socio-economic space of Ukraine in the context of applying to them the concept of regionalization. Design/methodology/approach - In the article, author use a set of scientific methods that ensured the conceptual integrity of the study, in particular: system -- to study the structural development of the economy of the regions of Ukraine; methods of dialectical reasoning, induction, deduction - to justify strategic priorities; comparative and statistical analysis - to study the peculiarities of the development of the economy of the regions of Ukraine. Findings - The following factors of influence on the structural asymmetries and disproportions of the socio-economic development of individual regions have been identified: different adaptability of regions to the urgent requirements of economic development and conditions of competition; implementation of a regional policy to support progressive activities; the need to adapt to negative external and internal shock fluctuations in a pandemic; redistribution of resources and capital in favor of more developed regions; lack of systemic structural reforms at the macroeconomic level. A high level of openness of the Ukrainian economy was recorded due to a significant excess of exports over imports. Therefore, attention is paid to the structuring of regions by the level of exports and capital investments. It is concluded that exports have a significant impact on the economic growth of regions, and its dynamics is dominantly determined not so much by the devaluation of the hryvnia, but caused by external demand. Originality/value – The paper tested and confirmed the hypothesis about the positive impact of the rate of structural transformations and the assessment of the impact of capital investments on the growth of the GRP of the regions of Ukraine is carried out. This made it possible to structure the regions in terms of the ratio of the indicator to its average Ukrainian value. The distribution of regions into groups with a high, medium and low level of economic development was made, and the nature of the asymmetry of the territorial structure of the Ukrainian economy was assessed: • the asymmetry of the regions of the first and second groups gravitates (due to concentration) towards the central and eastern regions of the country (excluding the Lviv region). These regions are noted for high rates of human and social capital development and innovative activity, have the best prospects for the development of the entrepreneurial environment, the formation of a network of enterprises that can be combined into clusters; the development of a networked economy based on local growth points; • in the context of the regions' involvement in the intensity of foreign economic exchanges, the growth potential was recorded by the city of Kiev and a group of export-oriented regions (Dnipropetrivsk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Lviv, Poltava regions). These regions should become an impetus for the development of other regions and intensify their activity through interregional cooperation to enter the global market; • development of export-oriented regions is possible either due to increased expansion to foreign markets and higher prices or fundamental modernization of industry with a low degree of technological processing of products, and resource management. Regions that have exhausted their industrial resources should direct their development towards neo-industrialization, rehabilitation or revitalization of territories; • сompliance with global urbanization trends allows to quickly restore indicators of regional economic development in the winter period (due to the influence of internal and external shocks due to strict quarantine measures). These trends are demonstrated by the capital and individual large cities that perform the functions of world financial, innovation, information and cultural centers, as well as have developed connections with the periphery. Other regions (Lviv and others) demonstrate attempts at joint development with adjсacent territories. It is noted that the strength of the connection with other regions is more pronounced in relation to the connection with the periphery. The spread of the agglomeration effect of large cities with a population of one million produces innovative, technological and other components of the development of the potential of adjacent territories, which are characterized by an increase in the indicators of the economic efficiency of industrial production. It is expected that interregional competition will develop for the right to manage resources and determine the direction of socio-economic development of territories, the formation of new centers of economic growth, which are based on flexible networks (for example, following the virtual principle of distribution of territories). Practical consequences - the results of the study can be used by government agencies and other researchers to regulate the formation and development of regional socio-economic systems.

This is confirmed by statistical data on the dynamics of the creation of such areas.

RESEARCH OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF ENTERPRISES OF VINNYTSIA REGION IN THE CONTEXT OF INTENSIFYING PRODUCTION ACTIVITIES

The current state of the economy with the deterioration of economic results of transformational changes is characterized by the lack of a system of management of the dynamics of growth of economic indicators due to the transition to innovative sources of economic development, which activates the issue of providing such changes in controlled character. The economic development of the region concerns not only financial revenues to local budgets, but also an increase in the overall welfare of the population, through prism of priority directions of development. The path to improving the life and economic development of the Vinnytsia region is possible taking into account transformational processes, but achieving this involves solving the complex of goals and tasks facing management bodies. The current state, trends and problems of reproduction of the economic potential of sustainable development of Ukraine and its regions are investigated. An analysis of the ineffectiveness of enterprises of certain types of activities of the region's economy is carried out. The formation of the system of indicators of the development of regional socio-economic systems is proposed and a systematic and integrated assessment of the economic potential of the development of the Vinnytsia region is carried out. Considerable attention is brought to assess the economic potential of the region, prospects for modernization of social infrastructure and the formation of sustainable economic growth in the region. The basic and strategic directions of rationalization of resource use spheres are formulated on the basis of assessment of minerals, improving the management of the agricultural complex of the region as the main determinants of the effective use of territorial development of regional complexes. The SWOT-analysis of the Vinnytsia region has been conducted, the strengths and weaknesses of development and economic output of the region on cross-border markets and the world arena are characterized. The possibilities of the region are outlined, which will contribute to further competitiveness of the region at the level of other economic regions of Ukraine. Provided threats of development that arise under the influence of external forces that interfere with rapid and sustainable growth.

Effective economic growth under conditions of regional water management dependence

Purpose. The purpose of the article is an identifying the impact of regional water management dependence on economic growth in the region.
 Methodology / approach. The subject of the study is theoretical and methodological basics of a new scientific paradigm for regulation the development of the regional socio-economic systems under the conditions of limited water resources. The study used traditional and special research methods, including: historical and logical – to analyze the evolution of regional socio-economic systems under conditions of limited water resources; abstractions and analogies – to reveal the essence of water-efficient regional socio-economic systems in the modern processes of regionalization and globalization; theoretical generalization, analysis and synthesis – to specify the categorical apparatus; statistical analysis to assess the level of needs of regional socio-economic systems in water resources and create an index of regional water management dependence; method of correlation analysis (biserial correlation, using a point biserial Pearson’s correlation coefficient).
 Results. The main idea of the paper is to study the issues of development of regional socio-economic systems under the conditions of limited water resources. Considering this, the paper is aimed at studying the impact of regional water management dependence on economic growth in the region. The tasks for development of regional socio-economic systems on the basis of water efficiency are defined, as well as the concept “water-efficient regional socio-economic system” is defined. The study presents a hypothesis about the need to change the paradigm of regulation of regional development on the basis of water use efficiency and regional water management dependence. In order to trade effectively with the main crops, it is necessary to determine whether there are sufficient water supplies in a given country and its regions. For this purpose, the authors proposes to use own indicator, such as the index of regional water management dependence. Thе characteristic of water management dependence is given, from regions where only up to half of the water supply of the territory is used, and to regions where more than 100 % of the water supply of the territory is used. The research has updated that the expansion of knowledge and understanding of the specifics of the water sector can solve significant problems. It is proved that the economic growth of the Ukrainian economy due to the agricultural sector has its limits and is limited by the water management dependence of the territories, ie the limitation of certain territories of the regions of Ukraine in terms of water resources. The next effective economic growth is possible only through the implementation of water-efficient technologies and intensification of water-efficient activities in the region.
 Originality / scientific novelty. The study for the first time defines the concept of water-efficient regional socio-economic system, so it is a socio-economic system that provides for the restoration of water resources in the region, reducing the water intensity of gross regional product (GRP) and approaching European norms and proposes the classification of regions according to the index of regional water management dependence on the basis of its threshold values. A scientific and methodological approach to assessing the level of needs of regional socio-economic systems in water resources has been improved, based on the application of the index of regional water management dependence, which is proposed to calculate the ratio of total fresh water use in the region to the volume of available river runoff in the region (parts of the water potential). The classification of regional socio-economic systems according to the level of water supply has been improved, which is based on the definition of threshold values of the index of regional water management dependence. The methodological bases for assessing the impact of the spatial economy on regional development under conditions of limited water resources have been improved, which differ in substantiating the dependence of the level of development of regions on the available water potential of the territory.
 Practical value / implications. The results of the study allow a more comprehensive approach to the study of the problem of using water resources in Ukraine in the context of their limitation. The results of the study showed that the economic complex in most regions is water-intensive and unbalanced, as well as does not provide restoration of water resources by environmental parameters and requires the implementation of infrastructure schemes for redistribution of water resources between regions for economic activity. The results are recommended for consideration by local governments and regional administration for the development and implementation of “Regional programs for the development of water management in the region” and for the development of “Strategies for regional development until 2025–2027”.

Marketing Approach to Environmental and Economic Assessment of National Development

The main growth factor for a developing economy is the implementation of investment projects by economic subjects pursuing the objectives of increasing productivity and labour engagement, modernisation and development, production risk mitigation and increasing investment attractiveness, all aligned with the green technology context. Green technologies are a relatively new instrument of economic development. The purpose of this paper is to assess the environmental and economic security and sustainability of regional socioeconomic systems with an emphasis on establishing the relation between the innovative and environmental components of their development. Economic security and sustainable development of regional socioeconomic systems depend on a significantly wide range of factors of a balanced approach to regional development potential and its operation.

The need for an integrated use of the tools of territorial marketing and branding at the regional and municipal levels of government (for example, the Republic of Bashkortostan)

This article substantiates methodological approaches and mechanisms for managing the socio-economic development of depressed territories, aimed at overcoming spatial unevenness of economic growth, asymmetry of economic and social development of regional socio-economic systems, increasing their contribution to the formation of the gross domestic product of the country, ensuring highly effective and competitive development of the economy of regions in the interregional and international division of labor. The purpose of the research is to develop mechanisms for managing the socio-economic development of depressed territories, which are crucial in improving the efficiency and competitiveness of economic and social development of the country's regions, as part of a single reproductive system of the national economy. The study used methods of logical and statistical analysis, systematic approaches to the consideration of phenomena and factors. Based on the example of the Republic of Bashkortostan, methodological approaches and mechanisms for overcoming the crisis state of the economy of depressed territories, ensuring their innovative development through the introduction of advanced equipment and technology into production, increasing the share of knowledge-intensive industries, increasing the role of human capital, providing various benefits and subsidies for the development of new enterprises and productions are proposed. To overcome the crisis state of the economy of depressed territories and ensure their sustainable socio-economic development for the long term, it is necessary to initiate and implement innovative development of these territories on the basis of strengthening state regulation and investment.

СОСТАВЛЯЮЩИЕ УСТОЙЧИВОГО РАЗВИТИЯ РЕГИОНАЛЬНОЙ СОЦИАЛЬНО-ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОЙ СИСТЕМЫ

The article identifies the main problems of sustainable development of modern Russian society (quality of life, demography, spatial development, welfare of the population, etc.). The key subsystems of sustainable development of regional socio-economic systems (economic, social, environmental, institutional) are analyzed. The role and significance of the institutional subsystem in the sustainable development of regional socio-economic systems is substantiated. The main reasons for the instability of the institutional subsystem of regional development are identified and a number of measures that need to be taken to improve the efficiency of the domestic economy are indicated. The author’s definition of the category “sustainable development of regional socio-economic systems” is presented. Based on the analysis, a graphical model of the interaction of key subsystems of sustainable development of the region is built. Based on the author’s interpretation of the classical production function, a functional dependence of the sustainable development of the regional socio-economic system on the combination of factors of key subsystems is proposed.

Development of the region based on the activation of internal factors

The state of the economy of the Russian regions is to a considerable extent determined by the external environment, in the conditions of the negative impact of which on the socioeconomic processes, it is necessary to search for internal sources that reduce these restrictions. Their stimulation could minimize dependence on energy exports and fluctuations in the external economic situation, change the reproductive structure of the economy, and thereby ensure the socioeconomic development of the regions. The aim of the study is identifying and scientifically substantiating the activation of such internal factor as tourism, the potential of the latter being not fully utilized, but can stimulate regional development. The object of the research is the European North of Russia, where economy is dependent on the export of power resources. The subject of the study is the internal factors that ensure the development of regional socioeconomic systems. The information base of the study has been the statistical data of the Federal State Statistics Service, the data of sociological surveys conducted by the Federal State Budgetary Institution of Science Vologda Research and the information of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). The study is based on the work of domestic and foreign scientists involved in ensuring economic growth and development of territories on the basis of tourism, in particular. The authors suggests a scientific approach that allows identifying reserves for stimulating regional development based on using the potential of internal factors of the socioeconomic subsystems of the region. The author stresses determines that for the European North of Russia the tourism subsystem with significant potential is a substantional factor of regional development.. Based on the analysis, it has been revealed that insufficient influence of tourism on the region’s economy is associated with the weak demand of the population for domestic tourism due to a lack of funds. In conclusion, areas that promote the consumption of tourist goods and services in the region are proposed.

Sustainable energy development issues in the context of world economy deglobalization

The need for sustainable development of regional economies and the energy sector in the context of world economy deglobalization is highlighted. The role of energy companies as the key economic entities in providing the resilient development of regional socio-economic systems is substantiated. A number of Russian energy companies are correlated to the regions within the federal districts. Based on the review of the sustainable development concept, the gaps in the theory of regional economic resilience and in the methodology of qualitative evaluation ofthe energy sector’s participation are stated. A comprehensive approach combining the debt limitation methodology with the conceptual model by C. Walsh is suggested for the estimation of sustainable development in the energy sector. The application of the approach using the example of Russian energy companies revealed the key factors of imbalance in operating and investment efficiency management.
