Formation of a Generalized System of Indicators of Regional Economic Security

Современные угрозы и обоснование изменений в регулировании экономической безопасности региона

The article considers the main approaches of the theory of economic security. The concepts of "ensuring economic security", "managing economic security", "regulating the economic security of the region" are studied. The impacts affecting the adaptive readiness of the regional economic security complex, reflected in the concepts of "threat", "risk", "factor", "challenge" are noted. The expediency of a multi-vector approach to the organization of regulatory impacts of state and municipal government bodies aimed at ensuring the economic security of the country's regions in the context of overcoming modern threats is determined. A thesis is formulated about the place of regulation of regional economic security as an integral link between the systemic federal level of national security and heterogeneous regions of the country. Using the example of Perm Krai, the dynamics of the main indicators of regional economic security and their relationship with similar indicators of the Volga Federal District and the Russian Federation are considered, and an assessment of existing trends is carried out. The analysis of the elaboration of regulatory and legal documents of the Perm Territory using the extrapolation method of processing official statistics information has established the insufficiency of the measures taken to improve strategic planning in the region in the context of taking into account changing factors and conditions of the external environment. Significant deviations of the achieved results in ensuring the economic security of the Perm Territory from the forecast values approved by the strategic planning documents have been revealed, in particular in achieving the planned indicators in the areas of industrial and environmental safety of the region. It is proposed to revise the content of regulatory documents with the corresponding budget and resource content for the timely adaptation of the region to modern threats and challenges. It is recommended to pay special attention to such areas of economic security of the Perm Territory as: technological sovereignty, investment security and environmental protection.

ENSURING ECONOMIC SECURITY AT THE LOCAL LEVEL

The article examines regional economic security. The authors determined that it is a certain value that is a general reflection of the state of various spheres of the state. It was determined that the mechanism for ensuring the economic security of the region should contribute to the strengthening of the security of the economy in various regions, the improvement of the regulation of economic growth by the state can help thanks to the preparation of regional and territorial planning documentation, the formation of a comprehensive concept of risk control, including the active monetary policy of the state. It was analyzed and determined in the study that a comprehensive analysis of regional economic security should be based on the concept of indicators that show the main aspects of the state of production, science, technology, investment, society, as well as the demographic situation in the region.

ESG-трансформация российских регионов: теоретические аспекты

The paper considers the theoretical aspects of sustainable development and ESG transformation of Russian regions. The research substantiates a systematic approach to the balanced development of regions as socio-ecological and economic systems. The concept of sustainable development and regional ESG transformation correlates to the concept of regional economic security, economic growth, human and social capital development. In our opinion, a systematic reproductive approach is the most productive in solving many problems of regional socio-economic development. Moreover, it could consider the following issues of regional ESG transformation: a six-stage scheme of social reproduction: «science – production – distribution – exchange – consumption – utilization»; natural-economic-institutional-social reproduction chain. One of the aspects of the reproductive approach is the concept of sustainable development and the ESG agenda. However, in terms of economic theory and philosophy, four types of «transformational connections» can be distinguished: interaction, relationships, institutions, and management decisions. The regional sustainable development, the achievement of high indicators of its socio-economic development is presented as a balanced interaction of three components: economy, social sphere, and ecology. Russian scientists consider regional ESG transformation in terms of economic security, regional economic growth, and increasing its attractiveness, development of technological potential, improvement of the institutional environment, and competencies of managers at all levels in the field of sustainable development and ESG.

Analysis of Criteria for Assessing Regional Economic Security Taking into Account Indicators of the Investment Component

The study emphasizes that the successful development of the region depends on the analysis of economic security indicators, taking into account the investment component. Investments play a key role in sustainable economic growth, modernization of production and introduction of new technologies. Constant improvement of investment policy mechanisms is an integral part of the region's development. Rational use of resources and a sound investment strategy contribute to the achievement of strategic goals and ensure economic security. The main goal of the study is to determine areas for improving investment policy to ensure sustainable economic growth and social production. The results of this study are aimed at enhancing investment activity, increasing production efficiency and ensuring the economic sustainability of the region. Исследование подчеркивает, что успешное развитие региона зависит от анализа показателей экономической безопасности с учетом инвестиционной составляющей.

KEY ASPECTS OF ECONOMIC SECURITY OF THE RUSSIAN REGION (CASE OF LIPETSK REGION)

The article is devoted to the issues of economic security of the Russian region using the example of the Lipetsk region. The study updates the role of regional economic security based on an in-depth analysis of the theoretical concepts of scientists over the past 20 years. Based on the works of the Russian economist S. Y. Glazyev, in which he uses his author’s, integral approaches to indicators of reproduction of human and economic potential, researchers assess the state of economic security in the Lipetsk region. The authors conclude that the main trend at the moment is the “forced” growth of production, not provided with sufficient labor resources for the future, accompanied by low socio-­economic indicators of reproduction. Having sufficiently advantageous geographical, climatic and natural resources, the Lipetsk region does not have a high development potential at this point in time due to the low level of self-awareness of the population. The level of crime, alcoholism or fertility is often not related to the economic standard of living of the population, but rather depends on the level of development of the individual and society. The lack of capital investments in fixed assets for the future shows the lack of strategic goals of producers and the desire to obtain short-term benefits. The authors see the development of patriotic, spiritual and moral education as one of the directions for improving the indicators of reproduction of human and economic potential in the region.

Риски в направлениях сетевого взаимодействия в области обеспечения региональной экономической безопасности

The article is a study of the issue of risks in the directions of network communication cross providing regional economic safety. A definition of risk and networking is presented. The connection between network communication and the cluster as a factor in sustainable and innovative economic development is shown. An overview of the definition of clusters is given. Regional management, as part of the public management, is aimed at overcoming crisis situations in various areas. The authors pay attention to the digital transformation of the economy and name individual risks that are conduits to the destabilization of regional economic security. The consolidated influence of the state and cluster process participants have a positive effect on the formation of conditions for economic safety. The article makes an attempt to identify the impulses of the impact of network communication for stable regional sustainability and economic safety.

ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ РЕАЛІЗАЦІЇ КОНЦЕПЦІЇ КОРПОРАТИВНОЇ СОЦІАЛЬНОЇ ВІДПОВІДАЛЬНОСТІ БІЗНЕСУ УКРАЇНИ В УМОВАХ ВОЄННОГО СТАНУ

The digital economy is proposed to be understood as: a type of economy characterized by the active implementation and practical use of digital technologies for the collection, storage, processing, transformation and transmission of information in all spheres of human activity; a complex system of socio-economic and organizational-technical relations based on the use of digital information and telecommunication technologies; a complex organizational and technical system in the form of a set of various elements (technical, infrastructural, organizational, programmatic, regulatory, legislative, etc.) with distributed interaction and mutual use by economic agents for the exchange of knowledge in conditions of permanent development. It was determined that modern processes of informatization and digitization call for the transformation of the traditional system of relationships in society at all levels of economic management, affecting all spheres - from production to finance. More and more relationships between counterparties take place in a virtual environment, the arrays of information that are needed to make appropriate management decisions are increasing, which involves the use of modern end-to-end digital technologies. The digital transformation of the economic system of domestic regions is associated with a number of problems, which we present in the form of destabilizing factors that can cause threats to economic security and lead to a violation of the stability of the region's economic security system. It has been established that the process of managing destabilizing factors in the conditions of systematization of digital development challenges is a series of interconnected stages that follow from each other: monitoring of factors affecting the process of digital transformation of regional economic systems based on methods of analyzing the external and internal environment; establishing a relationship between the challenges of digital transformation of the regional economy, regional development priorities and economic security of the region; assessment of the probability of the occurrence of risk events and their consequences from the standpoint of the dynamics of indicators characterizing the level of economic security of the region; determining the possibility of eliminating the influence of destabilizing factors and determining the necessary amount of financial resources in value terms; drawing up a map of preventive measures in the field of reducing the consequences of digital development threats and increasing the level of economic security of the region; adjustment of the map of preventive measures due to the occurrence of unforeseen destabilizing factors and macroeconomic shocks. Keywords: destabilizing factors, economic security, economic systems, region, digital transformation

EU CONVERGENCE: A PATHWAY TO ECONOMIC STABILITY

In the context of global systemic transformations, economic security has become a focal point in political and economic debates. The article explores how economic convergence within the European Union (EU) contributes to strengthening regional economic security. Using an innovative approach based on cluster analysis, the study reveals economic convergence trends among EU member states, highlighting the involvement of this process in promoting economic stability and security in the era of systemic changes. Our methodology involves applying clustering techniques to an extensive set of economic indicators to assess the dynamics of economic convergence between EU countries over the last two decades. The cluster analysis carried out allowed the grouping of countries based on their similar economic characteristics, thus providing a clear picture of the progress towards convergence. The results indicate a strong trend of economic alignment within the EU, with the formation of clusters suggesting a reduction in economic discrepancies. This process of convergence not only reflects greater economic cohesion, but also contributes to the macroeconomic stabilization of the region, an important aspect for economic security in the face of global volatility and uncertainties. The analysis shows that the EU is moving towards uniformity and economic convergence, with economic clusters becoming more similar over time.

Diagnostics of the Economic Security of the Industrial Sector of the Region

Relevance. The trend of increasing differentiation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in terms of their socio-economic development increases the importance of regional policy, including in the field of ensuring economic security. In the system of regional economic security, a special role is assigned to its industrial component, since at present issues related to the definition and assessment of the industrial development of the region are becoming increasingly relevant. The purpose of the study is to diagnose the industrial component of the region’s economic security and determine its content and functional part in the regional economic security system.Objectives: to prove the relevance of the study, to analyze the industrial component of the region’s economic security through a system of indicators, to justify the conclusions obtained.Methodology. As part of the research, a set of methods of theoretical and comparative analysis, an integrated approach and generalization is used. Using system analysis, the industrial component of economic security is considered as an interconnected system of indicators, the interpretation of which allows us to assess the level of economic security of the region. Methods of an integrated approach and generalization have become the methodological basis for bringing industrial safety indicators to a dimensionless form to determine the degree of distance of indicators from threshold values.Results. During the study, the industrial component of the region's economic security was analyzed through a system of indicators, which is based on basic indicators reflecting key aspects of the socio-economic development of the region. The analysis showed that industrial safety in the region is at a fairly low level, since most indicators are outside the threshold values, which requires a set of measures to mitigate threats to economic security in the region in this area.Conclusions. The results obtained proved that diagnostics of the industrial safety of the region is the most important component of the mechanism for comprehensive provision of economic security, and can be used in forecasting the development of the region.

Threats to regional economic security: statistical assessment of criminal activity and countermeasures

conditions of geopolitical and economic instability, growing social tension, the emergence of crime-generating situations such as high inflation, differentiation of society by income level, mass criminalization of the population’s consciousness and others lead to a rather complex criminogenic situation, leading to the emergence of a threatening threat to national and regional economic security. As a result, identifying, assessing and preventing crimes in the sphere of economic activity are mandatory to ensure low crime rates in the region. In the article, the regions of the Russian Federation were differentiated by crimes of an economic nature, and trends were identified and threats to ensuring the economic security of the Stavropol Territory were studied using the grouping method, economic-geographical, territorial-sectoral approaches, etc.

ОПЫТ САНКТ-ПЕТЕРБУРГА В ПРЕОДОЛЕНИИ ПОСЛЕДСТВИЙ НЕУСТОЙЧИВОСТИ ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОГО РАЗВИТИЯ ВСЛЕДСТВИЕ АНТИРОССИЙСКИХ САНКЦИЙ И ОБЕСПЕЧЕНИИ РЕГИОНАЛЬНОЙ ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОЙ БЕЗОПАСНОСТИ

The article is devoted to the study of the features of regional governance in conditions of increasing uncertainty and exacerbation of threats to economic security due to anti-Russian sanctions. The purpose of this article is to analyze the existing regional experience in overcoming the consequences of unstable economic development due to anti-Russian sanctions and ensuring regional economic security. This analysis was carried out on the materials of one of the largest (in terms of contribution to the gross domestic product of the Russian Federation) subjects of the federation - the federal city of St. Petersburg. The study assessed the impact of anti-Russian sanctions on regional development in Russia; the experience of St. Petersburg in ensuring stable and economically secure development of the regional economy was studied; recommendations for using this experience in other regions of the Russian Federation are proposed. The study focuses on studying the mechanisms of influence of anti-Russian sanctions on the economic systems of the constituent entities of the federation, as well as assessing the results of this influence, including from the standpoint of ensuring regional economic security. The results of the study show that this influence is multidirectional. The strength of its manifestation and assessment of the consequences significantly depend on the characteristics of a particular regional economic system, as well as on the measures taken in regional economic policy. As a result, the sanctions macro-shock leads to increased differentiation of Russian regions. This aggravates existing problems of economic security at the regional level. Against this background, the experience of those regions that during 2022-2023 deserves a more careful consideration. not only remained stable, but also achieved an increase in key economic indicators. One of these regions is St. Petersburg. The article analyzes the system of anti-crisis measures taken in this region that ensured stability and protection from sanctions-related threats to economic security. The article emphasizes the feasibility of using this experience in other regions. At the same time, the need for their adaptation to regional specifics is noted.

The Impact of Socio-Economic Factors on the Regional Economic Security Indicator

The Impact of Socio-Economic Factors on the Regional Economic Security Indicator

Developing a region's economic security mechanism

Subject. This article discusses the role of healthcare in ensuring economic security. Objectives. The article aims to develop a model for assessing the level of economic security in the region, taking into account the costs of providing medical care in various conditions. Methods. For the study, I used a simulation approach based on the concept of mechanism design and game theory. Results. The article finds the dependence between the content of the development strategies of medical organizations and the level of economic security of the region. The article presents a developed mathematical model that helps predict the level of economic security in the region and determine priorities in financing the healthcare system. Conclusions. The article concludes that the probability of bankruptcy of private medical organizations is quite high, since the strategies chosen by them lead to the need to attract funding from extra-budgetary sources for all conditions of medical care.

Approaches to assessing the scientific potential of the region from the point of view of ensuring economic security

Aim. To assess the state of the scientific potential of the Magadan Oblast from the point of view of its influence on the formation of economic security of the region.Objectives. To define the concept of “scientific potential of the region” and reveal its structure; to consider the existing approaches to assessing the scientific potential of the region; to conduct a comparative analysis of the scientific potential of the Magadan Oblast and the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD).Methods. The scientific potential of the region is considered in the plane and component aspects from the position of three components: technological, innovative, educational. The assessment of each component is based on three interrelated planes: formation, development and utilization.Results. The tendency to decrease the scientific potential of the Magadan Oblast in all three components both in absolute terms and in comparison with the indicators of the Far Eastern Federal District has been revealed. The greatest reduction of indicators is revealed in the sphere of scientific and technological potential.Conclusions. There is a growing threat to the economic security of the region due to the lag of the Magadan Oblast from other regions of the Far Eastern Federal District both on the level of innovation and technological development and on the formation of scientific personnel for the needs of the regional economy. It is recommended to concentrate efforts in the sphere of development of scientific and educational potential, since it is the sphere that determines the strategic development of the region and long-term economic security.

Economic security of regions: A prerequisite for diversifying the Azerbaijan economy

This article aimed to empirically substantiate the development of priority sectors to improve the economic security of the regions in Azerbaijan to achieve the goals of diversifying the national economy. We calculated an integral indicator of the economic security of areas by combining various socioeconomic development indicators, accounting for their variations from 2005 to 2022. The research established the relationship between the integral indicator of economic security in Azerbaijan's regions and the availability and efficiency of production factors in critical sectors of the economy, including Mining and quarrying, Manufacturing, Construction, Agriculture, forestry and fishing, and Trade. By applying the regression method, we concluded that agriculture and trade play a decisive role in increasing regional economic security in modern conditions. The research highlighted those growing factors: the number of employees, wages, and investments in fixed assets in these sectors, would be instrumental in achieving the adequate diversification of the country's economy.

Experimental investigation of atmospheric air to water generation based on both end open evacuated tube collector solar air heater

Regional economic, social, and ecological security are all entwined and influenced by the availability of water. Since the available water resources are depleting at a very faster rate and people are restricted to access the clean water, it is urgent to discover new & alternative sources of fresh water to meet everyone's requirements. An inexpensive and effective solution to the rising problem of the water shortage can be atmospheric air to water generation (AWG) technology. This study involves the development and experimental investigation of a novel AWG system based on adsorption under ambient conditions. Both end open evacuated tube collector solar air heater (ETC-SAH) with 5.07 m2 solar collector area and an air-to-air condenser is used. The system’s performance is evaluated based on several key parameters, including adsorption & regeneration rate, energy & exergy efficiency, and economic analysis. The fresh water yield reported from the system is 3.08 L/day at 0.12 $/L cost. The energy & exergy efficiency reported by the system is 9.65% & 3.69%, respectively. Additionally, the water produced is subjected to testing at a regionally certified laboratory to confirm its safety for consumption.

Information and analytical aspects of the study of problems of regional economic security

The North Caucasian Federal District is a geostrategic macroregion and acts as the main transit corridor connecting the Russian Federation with the countries of the Transcaucasus and the Middle East. Ensuring sustainable socio-economic development, reducing inter-regional differentiation is a strategic task of the Russian Federation, aimed at maintaining the integrity of the state, strengthening economic security. The regions of the North Caucasus have favorable conditions for the development of agriculture, the recreational and tourist complex, and industry. At the same time, in terms of such key indicators as gross regional product per capita, labor productivity, and average monthly wages, the macroregion lags behind most federal districts. In this connection, an objective assessment of the socio-economic situation of the regions of the North Caucasian Federal District is an urgent practical task.

Методический подход к оценке эффективности мероприятий по обеспечению экономической безопасности регионов на основе парадигмы «Тройная спираль»

In the article, the author, based on the author's indicators of a comprehensive study and diagnostics of stress factors, substantiates the feasibility of assessing the effectiveness of measures aimed at ensuring the sustainability of the region's economic security system in terms of innovation and investment development priorities, taking into account the multi-structural nature of the system itself.

On the Issue of Regional Economic Security in Modern Conditions (on the Example of the Northwestern Federal District). Article One

The article deals with the issues of economic security in the context of the modern interpretation of post-globalization. After analyzing the existing definitions of the concept of “economic security”, the authors came to the conclusion that the implementation of Russia’s national interests and priorities in the economic sphere is impossible without taking into account the regional factor. The Northwestern Federal District is of particular importance for the system of strategic priorities of regional security due to historical, geographical, and economic reasons. A universal understanding of security presupposes a particularly attentive attitude to key regions. Let us point out that this corresponds to all world approaches to understanding economic security
