COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE GDP STRUCTURE OF THE G7 COUNTRIES: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS AND TRENDS

This research article will examine the gross domestic product (GDP), which is one of the most widely used indicators of national economic performance. GDP represents the total output of a national economy over a specified period, with seasonal fluctuations duly adjusted. The most comprehensive measure of GDP is also adjusted for inflation, thereby enabling the assessment of changes in output rather than changes in the prices of goods and services. The significance of this indicator can be demonstrated by the fact that GDP is frequently employed to assess the relative size of national economies. Governments, financial market participants, and business leaders are most interested in changes in GDP over time, as reflected in annual growth or decline rates, because this allows them to make assumptions and develop plans for the future. The government uses previous years' GDP figures to formulate policies on interest rates, taxes, and trade policy. The study of GDP in the G7 countries is particularly important and relevant, as these countries represent the central government of the whole world, have a great influence on the economy, discuss global problems and develop solutions in the shortest possible time. The object of the study is the 7 members of the G7, namely: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, while the subject is the basic indicators of the national economy of each individual country, analysed in the dynamics over the past 10 years.

Uncontrolled Illegal Mining and Garimpo in the Brazilian Amazon.

Mining has played an important role in the economies of South American countries. Although industrial mining prevails in most countries, the expansion of garimpo activity has increased substantially. Recently, Brazil exhibited two moments of garimpo dominance over industrial mining: 1989-1997 and 2019-2022. While industrial mining sites occupied ~ 360 km2 in 1985 but increased to 1800 km2 in 2022, a 5-fold increase, garimpo mining area increased by ~ 1200%, from ~ 218 km2 in 1985 to ~ 2627 km2 in 2022. More than 91% of this activity is concentrated in the Amazon. Where almost 40% of the sites are five years old or younger, this proportion increases to 62% within Indigenous lands (ILs). Regarding the legal aspect, at least 77% of the 2022 extraction sites showed explicit signs of illegality. Particular attention must be given to the Kayapo, Munduruku, and Yanomami ILs. Together, they concentrate over 90% of the garimpo across ILs.

THE ROLE AND SIGNIFICANCE OF INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY IN THE CONDITIONS OF DEVELOPING THE NATIONAL ECONOMY OF THE COUNTRY

The purpose of the article is to study the theoretical and practical aspects of the development of international technology transfer. It has been established that today the latest technologies and innovations affect all spheres of the national economy. Participation in the international transfer of technologies becomes a necessary and imperative condition for the existence of any production, not only at the state level, but also at the global level. That is why state support for innovative activities, namely the promotion of research and development, affects the socio-economic development of modern society. The functioning and development of the world economic system takes place under the influence of the processes of integration and globalization, which leads to the acceleration of the movement of capital, financial and labor resources, goods and the growth of the intensity of information exchange. Due to the accumulation of scientific and technical potential in a number of economically developed countries, it is knowledge, intelligence and innovation that become the main driving force behind the success of individual companies in these countries in the global economy. Today, modern companies enter into a competitive struggle not so much for the level of development of the production structure and its volumes, as for the level of available innovations on the global technology market. Today, domestic science is on the brink of disaster, this state is explained by the economic crisis that occurred against the background of the military aggression of our northeastern "neighbor". In Ukraine until 2022, there were negative processes associated with the development of scientific and technological developments, as evidenced by numerous studies of the dynamics of the share of R&D expenditures in GDP, it is obvious that in today's conditions this is an unacceptable trend and the state should make maximum efforts for practical and rapid accumulation of such a sector of the national economy as science. It has been proven that Ukraine should focus on the specifics of the development of international legal regulation and guarantees in the field of technology transfer, from the point of view of international obligations. Since even those norms of international regulations implemented in domestic legislation do not provide full guarantees for the formation and development of a transparent and fair international technology transfer.

The impact of research and development on the economies of countries of the world: A statistical analysis

Effective management of national science and research is on the constant rise, so the task of revealing how economic “return” from the research and development sector can be maximized is becoming more and more relevant. The article examines the mutual influence of the development of science and the funding of research and development in 97 countries around the world, on the one hand, and their national per capita incomes, on the other hand. A wide range of indicators is used, including patent activity, research and development expenditures, the number of researchers and the number of Scopus-indexed publications by subject area (relative to the population of countries). Among all the subject areas studied, the number of publications in economics is most closely related to the level of GDP per capita (PPP). We then use linear multiple regression to study the relation between the number of Scopus-indexed publications in economics and expenditures on research and development. A comparison of simulated data with real data shows that oil and gas producing countries (including Russia) demonstrate an economic level higher than expected. The leading world economies (USA, China, Japan, Germany, France, Great Britain) are well described by our resulting model. Ensuring high expenditure on research and development is of paramount importance for modern economic growth. In addition, an overall high level of publication activity is important, with particular attention to the development of research in economics.

Importance of Chhath Puja in the culture and economy of Bihar

Chhath Puja, the great festival of folk faith, is a major and traditional festival of Bihar, which is celebrated with devotion, reverence, and dedication. This puja is dedicated to Sun God and Chhathi Maiya. Business worth more than thousands of crores takes place during Chhath festival in the whole of Bihar. However, no special study has been done on this yet. Economist NK Choudhary says that this amount is quite large, because every small and big business from rural areas to cities is involved in it. Every family of Bihar contributes to Chhath in some form or the other. Chhath Mahaparva is directly related to the economy of Bihar. Soup and daura have special significance in Chhath Puja. In such a situation, it is manufactured on a large scale in different areas of Bihar. It is also manufactured in the areas of Madhubani, Bhagalpur and Seemanchal. It is also ordered from other states many times. Most of the fruits for Chhath are ordered from other states. Apples are ordered from Kashmir and Himachal, oranges from Nagpur, coconuts from Kerala and Andhra Pradesh, bananas from Karnataka and Chennai. Apart from this, sugarcane is brought from Uttar Pradesh. Soop-Daura is made on a large scale in Bihar. Chhath festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm. This festival lasts for four days i.e. 96 hours, and people from the eastern communities living in different states along with whole India, especially Bihar and Jharkhand, participate in this festival. About 15 crore people including women, men and children participate in Chhath Puja rituals. According to an estimate, the country's economy can benefit by Rs 12 thousand crore in these 96 hours. as a culture and faith of Bihar. How Chhath Puja is connected to the common people as a cultural heritage to the economy of Bihar has been studied in this research article.

Analysis of the Fluctuations of ASEAN Currencies Against the US Dollar

At the beginning of 2024, from January to April, there was a downward trend in the rupiah exchange rate against the United States dollar. This downward trend also occurred in various countries in ASEAN. This trend is of course influenced by several factors, both internal and external. This research aims to analyze the internal and external factors that cause this tendency. The data in this research is secondary data and comes from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) at CEIC. This research uses descriptive analytical-qualitative methods. The results of this research show that interest rates, inflation, and net exports in the short term do not have a significant effect on exchange rate movements. However, this depreciation factor trend is more influenced by global geopolitical problems and the size of a country's economy. Geopolitical issues and the size of the economy affect a country's balance of payments (BOP) and foreign exchange reserves, which in turn influence exchange rate movements. Researchers hope that this research can provide new information for the academic community and become material for consideration, suggestions, and input for government authorities who have internal decision-making authority regarding exchange rates.

The Role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and FDI on South African Economic Growth

Information, communication, technology (ICT) and foreign direct investment plays a substantial role in various spheres of social and economic development. Therefore, changes in these variables can significantly impact a country's economy. The current study aims to assess the implication of information and communication technology (ICT) and FDI on South African economic growth. To achieve this objective, the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model and Error Correction Model (ECM) were applied to time series data over the period 1991 to 2021. Findings obtained from econometric modelling and analysis indicate that besides the positive effect of FDI on South African economic growth, all the analysed components of ICT namely mobile phone subscriptions, fixed phones, and internet subscriptions are drivers of economic growth in South Africa. Based on the findings, from the policy perspective, it was suggested that South African economic authorities increase and improve investment in the ICT infrastructure while also attracting more foreign investors. Additionally, to benefit from FDI and ICT's drivers of economics, policymakers should endorse policies and strategies that enhance economic openness and the ICT's resource allocation.

MODERN TRANSFORMATIONS OF NATIONAL ECONOMIES IN RESPONSE TO THE GLOBALIZATION OF FINANCE AND CREDIT

The study's relevance is determined by the fact that the global economy is a chaotic system composed of millions of interconnected elements (economies of individual countries). In this context, it is emphasized that each national economy experiences periods of growth and decline. These cycles have an irregular nature and can be triggered by intermittenсies in the finance and credit sectors in globalized economies, specifically phenomena of sudden, unpredictable surges in activity or volatility that cause their transformation, while in periods of relative stability, they ensure their sustainability. Thus, the article's aim is a comprehensive analysis of typical transformations of national economies as a response to the globalization of the finance and credit. The study emphasizes that the globalization of the finance and credit creates a highly dynamic and complex environment where the economies of various countries are closely interconnected. As a result of globalization, financial crises, technological innovations, and geopolitical events can rapidly spread across the globe, triggering significant changes in the economies of different nations. These processes are quite chaotic, but they exhibit certain recurring patterns. The transformations of national economies, driven by core intermittent events, manifest in the liberalization of financial markets, the development of financial innovations, the strengthening of central banks, and the reinforcement of international cooperation. Most countries have liberalized their financial markets by lowering barriers for foreign investors and expanding access to financial services. National economies are actively developing financial innovations such as fintech, blockchain, and cryptocurrencies to adapt to the new conditions of global competition. Central banks are playing an increasingly important role in stabilizing financial systems and mitigating the effects of financial crises. Countries are collaborating internationally to develop common rules and standards in the financial and credit sectors, aiming to minimize the risks of global financial crises. The transformations of national economies affect developed and developing countries, bringing about positive and negative consequences.

The organization of accounting for accounts payable at any enterprise is quite important, because it contributes to the reliability, correctness and transparency of the display of data from settlement transactions with suppliers and contractors. The article discusses the peculiarities of accounting for payments with suppliers and contractors. The purpose of the article is to clarify the economic meaning of the terms "supplier", "contractor", "creditor debt" and to reveal their role in the country's economy. It was determined that accounts payable is the organization's debt to other legal entities and individuals, which appears as a result of a time gap between the provision of goods and materials, the receipt of goods and services, the provision of services, the receipt of a preliminary cash advance and the date of their actual payment and fulfillment of obligations to third parties. The current legal acts regulating the accounting of settlements with suppliers and contractors were analyzed; the theoretical aspects of their accounting and analytical support are systematized, as well as the documentation of transactions with these counterparties is displayed. Ways and directions for further improvement of accounts payable management are proposed. It was revealed that with the help of keeping analytical documentation, accounts payable will be improved, namely, control of the timeliness of payments with each supplier or contractor for the delivered values ​​will be improved, and as a result, this will have a positive impact on the company's financial condition. It was identified that the main methods of managing payables are: control over the ratio of payables; assessment of accounts payable; analysis of settlements with creditors, their registration.

СТРАТЕГІЧНІ АЛЬТЕРНАТИВИ ВІДНОВЛЕННЯ КОНКУРЕНТОСПРОМОЖНОСТІ СФЕРИ ГОСТИННОСТІ УКРАЇНИ

Introduction. The field of hospitality is the basis for the development of the economies of many countries of the world. Ukraine is no exception. Although the full-scale invasion of the territory of Ukraine left its mark on this sector of the economy, causing great damage to it, the global situation has not changed and its development remains one of the priorities, especially in the context of Ukraine's vector for European integration. However, in today's conditions, appropriate strategies and tools for their implementation are necessary to preserve and restore the competitiveness of the hospitality industry. The purpose of the article: to justify strategic alternatives for restoring the competitiveness of the hospitality sector of Ukraine Results. The article substantiates that since the field of hospitality is a complex socio-ecological-economic system, which is characterized by significant regional differences, it is advisable to apply combined strategic sets formed on the basis of a hierarchical approach. The application of three levels of strategic alternatives is substantiated: Level I as a market positioning strategy (globalization, deep market penetration, adaptation, anticipatory development); Level II as strategic directions for ensuring competitive advantages (creating new competitive advantages, increasing competitive advantages, maintaining a competitive position, restoring lost competitive advantages); Level III as typical competitive strategies (diversification, differentiation, focus, specialization, cost leadership). The results of the study were used to justify the correlation of the specified strategies with the identified trends in the development of the hospitality industry in the world and in Ukraine. The sets of alternative strategies will be identified in the coordinates "Level of competitive advantages" / "Level of competitiveness", according to which the regions of Ukraine will be grouped and the specifics of the implementation of each of the sets will be determined. In the conditions of the current situation, the proposals are characterized by a high level of speculation, but they can serve as a reference point for the development of the hospitality industry in the regions of Ukraine, the basis of regional programs and strategies, which is a perspective for further research. Conclusions. A strategic approach to restoring the competitiveness of the hospitality sector of Ukraine ensures the prediction and achievement of expected results, obtaining competitive advantages for the long-term perspective, is the basis for the development of regional strategies and programs, which is of practical importance.

ЛЮДСЬКИЙ КАПІТАЛ В КОНЦЕПЦІЇ ВІДКРИТОЇ НАУКИ

Introduction. Any economic system's development is only possible with capital participation. Over several centuries, a stable concept has emerged that considers human capital as an essential source of investment for innovation, scientific and technological progress, and the stable development of the state. At the same time, the practical realization of this concept is associated with such categories as education, science, healthcare, competencies, skills, professional abilities of employees, intellectual output, etc. The purpose of the article: The aim is to comprehensively investigate the innovative potential of human capital from the perspective of a driving force for progress in the knowledge age. Methods: Modern science is based on openness and accessibility as tools of scientific search and research. Human capital is an essential element of this search, expressed in intellectual abilities, self-development, and theoretical and practical generalizations. The basis for more profound research and generalizations is the study of internal and external influences on the formation of human capital and the definition of its role in the scientific sense. Results: Analyzing human capital through the prism of its structural formation, it is worth noting that its meaning has changed in different periods. In the twentieth century, when the economy was formed in the context of industrial development, human capital was focused on technological excellence and ingenuity. In the 21st century, economic development is dominated by the intellectual and scientific component, which is the basis for the functioning of the national system. Therefore, human capital in this period is gaining new meaning as a knowledge economy. In forming the country's national economy, the intangible form of capital is becoming increasingly important, where human resource is the basis of socio-economic development. Conclusions. As a result of the theoretical analysis of existing approaches and new proposals, the innovative economic development model is developing dynamically. Human (intellectual) capital is prioritized in this model, stimulating informatization and introducing modern scientific and technological innovations. Human capital is a complex phenomenon that adapts to modern innovative and technological changes and acts as an organizational motivator for achieving a high level of industrialization and a civilized environment.

Compromise or Struggle: Extreme Temperatures and Environmental Corporate Social Responsibility in China

This article uses China's A-share listed companies from 2008 to 2020 as a sample to examine the impact of extreme temperatures on environmental corporate social responsibility (ECSR). The results show that extreme temperatures can significantly enhance companies' performance of ECSR. Extreme temperatures primarily compel companies to engage in ECSR activities by increasing the costs of debt financing, reducing income levels, and intensifying government environmental regulations, thereby mitigating the negative impact of extreme temperature events on corporate production and operation activities. Further research found that in SOEs, companies with high government subsidies, and companies with executives with overseas experience, extreme temperatures have a more significant role in promoting ECSR. This article provides a novel perspective and micro-evidence for studying the external driving factors of ECSR, and provides useful enlightenment for managing climate risks and realizing the green and low-carbon transformation of our country's economy.

Aligning nuclear energy with the circular economy in OECD countries

This paper aims to provide insight into the role of nuclear energy consumption in achieving circular economy status within the Organization of Economic and Co-operation Development (OECD) countries. Most of the scholarly work in this field examines the relationships between nuclear energy, income, and sustainability. However, a research gap exists regarding the effects of nuclear energy on the circular economy and vice versa. To address this knowledge gap, this research investigates the relationship between nuclear energy and the circular economy, while accounting for the role of environmental taxes and greenfield investments in OECD countries. Empirically, this study relies on the augmented mean group estimator and method of moment quantile regression approaches for conditional distribution on different quantiles. The findings suggest a robust positive relationship between nuclear energy and the circular economy, suggesting nuclear energy helps OECD countries to achieve economic circularity. In contrast, environmental taxes are associated with a detrimental effect on the circular economy. Furthermore, income and green field investment contribute to the achievement of a circular economy.

Worldwide availability of medications for migraine and tension-type headache: A survey of the International Headache Society

Background In this study, we aimed to evaluate the differing global access to acute and preventive medications for migraine and tension-type headache. Methods A custom-built questionnaire created by members of the International Headache Society Juniors Group was sent to International Headache Society members worldwide, including a list of acute and preventive treatments for migraine and tension-type headache. This list was based on evidence-based medicine guidelines. For each treatment, participants were asked about availability, type of reimbursement and variability of access within their country. Results Eighty-four members completed the questionnaire providing data for 84 countries. The majority were neurologists (88%) and worked at an academic/university hospital (62%). Of participants, 36% were located in high-income economy countries and 13% were located in low-income economies. Common preventive treatments such as propranolol and topiramate were available in most countries (respectively in 99% and 92% of responding countries). Sumatriptan was available in most countries (95%), whereas other triptan availability was lower. Novel migraine treatments such as rimegepant and erenumab were only available in 14% and 46% of the assessed countries, respectively. Conclusions Availability of headache medications, ranging from simple analgesics to novel therapies migraine-specific drugs, varied greatly across the world. Actions are needed to improve effective drug availability in many countries to ensure an adequate management of people living with headache.

PREREQUISITES FOR THE APPLICATION OF MONETARY POLICY TOOLS OF THE "NEW REALITY" IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE GEOPOLITICAL IMPACT OF MILITARY AGGRESSION IN UKRAINE

The prospects of using a new type of monetary policy instruments, which determine modern significant changes in the development of global financial, economic and social relations, caused by the geopolitical influence of military aggression in Ukraine, are studied. Not only the negative financial and economic impact on the country victim of hostilities, i.e. Ukraine, was established. Problems with inflation and debt were also identified in the G7 countries, as well as in China due to the consequences of the war in Ukraine. It was determined that the financial system of countries that have close trade and monetary transactions with developed market countries will also have a significant impact of the global crisis. The financial and economic indicators of Ukraine, the G7 countries and China for the medium term are predicted. The influence of the main financial threats on the macroeconomic stability of the country's economy in the conditions of military aggression is determined, and the main instruments of monetary policy that would allow maintaining such stability are indicated. It is noted that the use of a new type of monetary policy in modern realities, based on non-traditional instruments, will contribute to overcoming the negative impact of military aggression in all countries that experience it.

Kemanfaatan, keadilan, dan kepastian hukum restorative justice pada ketentuan perpajakan

Restorative justice has been implemented in tax provisions, namely the KUP Law and the PPSP Law which regulate tax collection, audits and investigations. Restorative justice is further reaffirmed in the Law on Harmonization of Tax Regulations (UU HPP), which is known to be contained in the explanation of Article 40B clause (3), Article Article 44B clause 2a and Article 64 clause (2). It is estimated that tax law enforcement with a restorative justice approach can be a more comprehensive and sustainable solution in dealing with violations. Dispute resolution is focused on efforts to reconcile the parties, in this case between countries positioned as victims and parties who commit violations. This is done with the aim of creating a better climate of compliance and reducing protracted problems. This journal article was prepared in order to analyze the value of benefit, justice and legal certainty regarding the implementation of the article on restorative justice regulated in the UU HPP for violations that have the potential to harm the country's economy. By using non-doctrinal legal research methods based on theory and application to regulations, it is hoped that the results of theoretical analysis related to the principles of restorative justice can provide further insight into how the values of benefit, justice and legal certainty are applied as law enforcement, especially in the field of taxation.

What do college students think about artificial intelligence? We ask them

Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming different aspects of the economy and society of countries. There are diverse effects when comparing the impact in developed versus developing countries. In the educational sector, efforts to incorporate AI have largely ignored the input from those directly impacted by it. This document presents results from a survey about AI to university students in Latin America. The information presented comes from a survey conducted in November 2023 to college students with ages between 18 and 25 years in four Latin American countries: Mexico, Argentina, Peru, and Ecuador. The results indicate that, in general, youth have a positive view about the potential of AI, though limited knowledge in the topic. Moreover, university students in the region do not want to be passive recipients of AI. They want to participate directly in conversations about this very current topic and have concerns about different aspects of AI implementation in the region. These findings highlight the need for universities, governments, civil society and international organizations and the private sector to work together to create spaces for inclusive dialogue where the youth could directly participate in conversations that crucially matter for their lives.
