Социальный капитал в зарубежной Европе: территориальная дифференциация и влияние на социально-экономическое развитие регионов и стран

In the article, on the example of countries and regions of foreign Europe, the relationship between social capital and socio-economic development is considered. An assessment of social capital and its components (as intangible factors of development) for regions and countries of foreign Europe is given on the basis of primary sociological data from a study of values in Europe. Civic activity, intolerance, features of trust were studied. Geographical patterns of development of social capital are briefly lighted. The relationship between social capital of communities and social-economic development indicators at the level of regions and European countries has been studied. Regularities are revealed between geographical differences in social capital and differences in economic development, the quality of institutions and innovativeness across regions and countries of Europe. Bridging social capital has a positive effect on economic development, it improves the functioning of institutions and prevents the development of opportunism, it is common in economically developed regions and European countries. Innovative activity is most common in regions and countries with a predominance of bridging social capital. In the regions of Europe with the prevailing bonding social capital, the disunity of social groups and closed trust, crisis phenomena are more acutely felt.

Территориальное общественное самоуправление в развитии системы управления социально-экономическими процессами в регионе

The validity of the topic directly correlates with the changes in federal, regional, and municipal agendas which have covered the issues of residents-driven decision making at the municipal level (territorial public self-government, participatory investments, development of the municipal public councils (chambers), establishment of open-access platforms like “Upravliaem Vmeste”, “Aktivnyi Grazhdanin”, residents-driven public control over the authorities and budget spending) over the recent decade. This particularly raises scientific interest and focuses on issues in terms of a scientific discourse. Trends in the municipal economy and residents-driven territorial transformations lead to a detailed analysis of the social economic context of the territorial public self-government development and its impact on the region. Therefore, this defines territorial public self-government as a subject of research in the particular regions and municipal units to quantify the current trends and territorial public self-government provisions as an economic constituency of a municipal unit. Methodologically, the study is based on statistical (evaluation of dynamic series of indicators) and correlational (diagnostics of development interconnections) analysis. This paper theoretically justifies territorial public self-government as a phenomenon with a social economic context and proves the statement that territorial public self-government is being developed as an economic constituency of a municipal unit. To do this, the authors conducted a correlational analysis of territorial public self-government development quantitative metrics and some indicators of social economic development of Perm Krai municipal units (a model region). The study covers 2017–2020 data, which is considered to be reliable under the correlational analysis methodology. The authors managed to reveal a consistent positive correlation between the territorial public self-government indicators, and some indicators of economic and social development over several years. The paper describes correlational connections over the territories. The study identified groups of municipal units with consistent negative or positive correlation coefficients. This leads to the following conclusions: territorial public self-government can be looked upon as an economic constituency, a part of a municipal economy in terms of the connections between the management of a municipal unit and implementation of some aspects of social economic policy; particular cases with territorial features should be analyzed to focus on a consistent positive correlation revealed in the analyzed municipal units.

CONCEPTUAL MODEL OF MACRO-REGULATION OF SOCIAL-ECONOMIC RELATIONS IN THE CONDITIONS OF INNOVATIVE-INVESTMENT DEVELOPMENT OF UKRAINE

Abstract. The purpose of the study — is to propose and substantiate the conceptual model of macro-regulation of social-economic relations between the state and innovation-active business entities in terms of innovation and investment development of the economy of Ukraine. The article proposes a systematic approach to building a mechanism for macro-regulation of innovation and investment activities. The influence of innovation and investment changes on the acceleration of social progress is analyzed. The conceptual approach to the formation of the budget strategy of the state in the form of tax deduction from the value added of innovatively active economic entities proposed by the authors is formed on the basis of generalization of modern economic theories. It was revealed, that only through the growth of gross domestic product it is impossible to overcome poverty and increase the educational and cultural level. This allowed the authors to base the guidelines of methodological and practical aspects on the rational and effective interaction between the state and innovation-active actors of Ukraine, aimed at increasing real income, education, health, greening and general culture of society. The authors’ consideration of the category «quality of life» as a synergistic indicator of social-economic development under the influence of investment and innovation processes allows to more accurately define the tasks, functions, priorities and effectiveness of such macro-regulation. Building new social-economic relations on the basis of the proposed model makes it possible to optimize these processes of interaction taking into account transformational changes in the country’s economy and social development, which means benefiting from innovation and high technology in achieving common goals of the state and innovation-active business entities in raising the national level of welfare of society. The scientific novelty is to consider macroregulation issues related to building such a synergistic interaction between the state and innovation-active economic entities when material and universal values is created and the achieved positive result from the implementation of changes is comprehensively determined. Keywords: regulation, interaction, resource, indicators, state, innovations, synergy, system, business entities. JEL Classification E65, G38, O1, O38 Formulas: 3; fig.: 3; tabl.: 0; bibl.: 15.

Country Performance in the South American Region: A Multivariate Analysis

ABSTRACT South American countries have historically been characterized by weak democratic regimes, high levels of corruption and abuse of power, and generally low social and economic development. Nevertheless, citizens’ increasing demand for better public services have impelled governments to improve countries’ performance. The literature highlights a framework of interrelationships between governance, corruption and social-economic development indicators. Using these indicators, this paper analyses how South American countries have evolved and how they compare to each other, regarding their performance in the past two decades. Applying multivariate statistical techniques, the research revealed important differences between countries, clustering together those with similar behavior trends and evidencing the best performers. This research contributes in applying a methodology to identify the best performers according to nine worldwide indicators. This identification is important because top performers may serve as benchmarks for neighboring countries, pushing towards overall performance improvements, hence strengthening citizens’ confidence in their countries’ governments.

The theory and practice of indicative planning in health care

The planning as a key function of management in health care system is focused on target indicators of population health and development of health care sector. The focusing on social economic values of target indicators and setting them as indicators of appropriateness and effectiveness of implementing activities is actual standard ofplanning. For all that, the technique of indicative planning in health care still requires to be putted to level of its theoretical substantiation (prerequisites of becoming, conceptual foundations, terms, requirements to evaluation) and implementation in practice. The example of the Republic of Ingushetia, one of the regions of the Russian Federation, was used to demonstrate becoming of indicative planning and its development with the purpose of effective management. The emphasis is made on terms system, approaches of choosing and monitoring of target indicators for indicative planning. To present the technique of indicative planning scientifically the monograph method (analysis of reports, statistical data of Rosstat, Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation and Ministry of Health of the Republic of Ingushetia) was applied. The SWOT analysis of the situation in health care of the region was applied. The infant mortality indicator became the reference point of evaluation of effectiveness of functioning of health care system and social economic reforming in the region. The level and dynamics of infant mortality indicator reflects shortcomings of medical care organization in the region and first of all absence of the three-level system of its rendering, routing according standards of medical care support of patients on main pathology profiles, including pregnant women, women in labor, newborns and children. According to situation, the investment decisions were made on the federal level. To what extent they will be effective i.e. what will be the reaction of values of target indicators of social economic development of the region, primarily indicators of infant mortality, the «road map» should demonstrate.

A three-dimensional evaluation model for regional carrying capacity of ecological environment to social economic development: Model development and a case study in China

A three-dimensional evaluation model was established to evaluate the carrying capacity of regional ecological environment to social economic development, based on the study on the relationship between environmental quality, ecological quality and social economy. It includes socio-economic subsystem, ecological subsystem and environment subsystem. X axis represents the level of ecological quality index; Y axis represents the level of environment quality index; Z-axis represents the level of socio-economic development index. The three-dimensional cube model divides into eight blocks of “I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII”, which represent different social and economic development levels and the integrated status of ecological environmental quality. It covers 25 indicators of social economic development, ecological quality, and environmental quality. Entropy weighting method was adopted to determine the weight of each index. Ecological quality index, environmental quality index and socio-economic development index were divided into three grades; the subsystem index of grade Ⅱ is taken as the inflection points Xip, Yip and Zip respectively. 11 prefecture-level cities in Jiangxi province in China were used as a study on carrying capacity evaluation for regional ecological environment to social economic development by the three-dimensional evaluation model. The comprehensive evaluation index and indexes of each subsystem were calculated. The actual ecological environmental quality and socio-economic values of the study area were compared with the corresponding indexes.The study shows that the environment subsystem has a great influence on the comprehensive model. The comprehensive evaluation index of 11 prefecture-level cities in Jiangxi province has exceeded the medium value (grade Ⅱ ). Jiujiang, Ganzhou, Yichun and Shangrao in Jiangxi province are in the model block Ⅷ , other cities in Jiangxi province are in the model block Ⅴ . It shows that all cities of Jiangxi province are still at the intermediate level of carrying capacity and are in the development stage of economic and environmental coordination. The three-dimensional model effectively reflects the actual situation of regional ecological environment, provides a way for other regional carrying capacity evaluation. It is feasible and scientific, and the results are more intuitive, spatial, and visual. The model provides a reference for the macro-management and decision making of ecological environment in the government sector.
