Problems Of Economic Development Research Articles

Economic Development in the Context of Technology, Capital, Man and Society Interconnection

The search for sources and problems of economic development is an important area of macroeconomic theory, within which identifying the specifics of current and future development is a pressing theoretical issue. Studying the features of development in the context of the relationship between technology, capital, man and society helps to improve the understanding and management of the cause-and-effect chain of sequences of technological, economic and social changes in society. The main stages of development of the world economy since the first industrial revolution are studied, the mechanism of economic development as a set of cyclical fluctuations and non-cyclical influences is examined, the characteristics and specifics of the current stage of development of the world economy are analyzed and views on its future trajectory are systemized.

ФОРСАЙТ ЯК ІНСТРУМЕНТ ВІДПОВІДАЛЬНОГО ДЕРЖАВНОГО УПРАВЛІННЯ І СТРАТЕГУВАННЯ МІЖНАРОДНОЇ ЕКОНОМІЧНОЇ ПОЛІТИКИ В УМОВАХ ЗАГОСТРЕННЯ ГЛОБАЛЬНИХ ПРОБЛЕМ РОЗВИТКУ

The purpose of the article is to study strategic long-term planning tools that allow timely identification of the latest risks, challenges and threats to international economic development that make it difficult to solve global problems that are a consequence of failures in the coordination of international economic policy. It has been determined that strategic forecasting allows politicians to increase the efficiency of government decision-making by identifying opportunities and threats that may arise in the coming years and decades, and also involves the development of possible strategies to counter them by taking into account the characteristics of the identified trends. The phenomenon of the new economy is characterized. The influence of technological development on the asymmetry of international economic development is determined. It has been established that the problems of international economic development in foresight strategizing include geopolitical rivalry, resource confrontation, energy dependence, deglobalization, disintegration processes, trade fragmentation, gaps in value and supply chains, reinstitutionalization of the system of international economic relations, recession, population aging, unemployment. Foresight forecasting tools that are not aimed at predicting a single “correct future” include: analysis of long-term trends and uncertainties; horizon scanning); scenario planning; shaping a normative future; political games; futures wheels; causal multilevel analysis. Research into long-term trends and uncertainties reveals key factors in different possible futures. The comprehensive observation carried out allows us to identify risks for the macroeconomic environment and proactively formulate a pool of measures to minimize the destructive impact of instability on socio-economic development. Improving foresight research as a critical element of strategic forecasting for solving problems of long-term development affects both theoretical aspects (conceptual approach, conceptual apparatus) and applied aspects (technologies and methods of development) of the development and use of this tool. Strategic planning allows you to develop adequate tools to achieve goals and proactively respond to the challenges of modern development, minimizing costs and compensating for the losses that arise for this reason, which lead to the loss of existing competitive advantages. The difference between forecasts and foresights is noted: forecasts are usually associated with uncontrollable events, while foresights most often deal with events and processes that are clearly controllable, therefore they assess the probability of not only one or another outcome of future events, but also the adoption of certain strategic and management decisions. The ability to distinguish normative approaches (what we want) from pragmatic approaches (what we should) is an important component of thinking in terms of alternative futures

Globalization of the economy and the war in Ukraine create new challenges for the formation and development of economic culture in the professional training of future technicians in transport technologiesand management of road transport in the modern transport sector. The destruction of infrastructure, the blocking of ports, the rise in fuel prices, the shortage of personnel and the instability of the economic situation have a negative impact on the formation and development of economic culture in the professional training of future technicians in transport technologies and management of road transport in the modern transport sector. The war in Ukraine significantly complicated the problems of economic culture, the formation and development of economic culture in the professional training of future technicians in transport technologies and management of road transport in the modern transport sector. However, the war also gives Ukraine a chance to rebuild its logistics system and make it more resilient to challenges. This requires joint efforts of the state, the private sector and international partners.

Роль политических институтов в экономическом развитии Юга России в условиях новой реальности

Introduction. Ineffective resolution of economic problems by political institutions can jeopardize a country’s technological sovereignty in the face of existing geopolitical challenges. The purpose of the article is to identify areas for increasing the efficiency of the functioning of political institutions from the point of view of ensuring the economic security of the southern Russian regions, considering the challenges of socio-economic development that exist for them. Methodology and methods. This study centers on the Southern Federal District, which acts as an administrative entity responsible for implementing regional-level economic policies. The research utilized content analysis of scientific publications and comparative analysis of regional socio-economic indicators of economic development as part of implementing economic policy. The method for analyzing the influence of political institutions on economic development was based on the principle of balancing the combination of tactical and strategic decisions in assessing the effectiveness of implemented measures and was based on the basic principles of the theory of factors of production. Analysis. An analysis of the results of the economic policy pursued in the southern Russian regions showed that a relatively high level of resistance to sanctions challenges is ensured mainly by the export capabilities of agricultural products. However, the continued high level of import dependence on production increases the risk of conflict over the use of production factors between exportoriented companies and companies oriented to the domestic market, which creates significant threats to the implementation of national growth models. The turn of state economic policy towards the global East and South poses the tasks of the authorities of the southern Russian regions to develop transport infrastructure, as well as state support for companies participating in the construction of new production and supply chains. At the same time, increasing migration flows from border areas requires solving the problem of ensuring the socio-economic well-being of both the people moving and the host community. Results. It was found that the existing political risks to the economic development of southern Russian regions are associated with a lack of balance between the political decisions made and the strategic objectives of achieving technological sovereignty. It is concluded that the conditions of modern economic reality require economic and political mobilization to achieve value consensus and consolidation in society in order to solve the problems of economic development, implemented through the responsibility and patriotic position of political and economic elites at all levels of government. Authors’ contribution. I.V. Mitrofanova: development and justification of the concept; interpretation and synthesis of research results; O.A. Chernova: formation of methodology; development of research design; content analysis; formulation of conclusions.

Determinants of Low Tax Revenuein Pakistan

Low tax-to-GDP ratio has always been a problem for economic development and a major explanation for high budget deficits in Pakistan. In the present study, we attempt to empirically analyze the determinants of low tax revenue in Pakistan by employing time series econometric techniques during the period 1973-2009. This study investigates whether economic policies, external variables and social indicators together with elements of the tax base can explain some of the variations in tax revenue trends in Pakistan. The empirical findings suggest that openness, ample money, external debt, foreign aid and political stability are the significant determinants of fiscal efforts in Pakistan with expected signals. The findings also indicate that the determinants of low tax revenue in Pakistan are a narrow tax base, greater dependence on the agricultural sector, foreign aid and low level of literacy. Finally, it is concluded that Pakistan's economy can generate a high tax-to-GDP ratio by increasing openness, literacy level, political stability, broadening the tax base and controlling income inequality, tax evasion and exemptions tax.

CORRELATION ANALYSIS OF THE INTERDEPENDENCE OF ECONOMY'S INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY INDICES

Creativity and the generation of innovative solutions are means of solving the problems of slow economic development and resistance to instability that have been observed in recent years. The key role of creativity of individuals and groups of workers as a defining feature of modern economic life is increasingly recognised. There is a consensus that people, as a source of creativity, are now a critical resource of the new era. In the new model of economic development, creativity, knowledge and free access to information are seen as powerful drivers of development and catalysts of globalisation. The subject of the research is to study the relationship between innovation and creativity in the economic sphere. In particular, the article examines how the creativity of various economic subjects affects the level of innovative indicators, which synthetically reflect the possibilities of achieving the goals of innovative development. The research methodology includes the use of global reports on innovation and creativity indices, as well as scientific sources on this topic. The study uses the methods of critical analysis of scientific papers and international rankings, comparison and correlation of interdependent indicators. The purpose of the research is to assess the relationship between creativity and the level of innovative indicators, which synthetically show the possibilities of achieving the goals of innovative development. Creativity of business entities and mechanisms for generating innovative solutions are determining factors of success of modern post-industrial societies. In most developed countries, long-term economic growth is supported by innovation and creativity of various economic entities. To create the research algorithm, the authors defined the chain of concepts "sustainable development – innovation – creativity". To assess and analyse creativity, the study uses methodological tools that can be applied in global and local contexts. The most well-known indices are the Global Innovation Index (GII), the Global Creativity Index (GCI), the City Creativity Index (CCI), and the Hong Kong Creativity Index (HKCI). The general correlation coefficients between the global innovation index and the creativity indices of some countries have been calculated. According to the results of the calculations, the correlation coefficients of creativity and innovation are very positive. They are closely related and belong to the group of significantly correlated indicators. This means that there is a very high correlation between innovation and creativity in the economies studied. Conclusions. The positive correlation between innovation and creativity indices confirms, in general and in specific terms, a close relationship between innovation and creativity in the economies of different countries. This may indicate that countries or regions with a higher level of economic development have higher rates of creativity and vice versa. The research demonstrates the importance of innovation for the development of creativity in the economy. Understanding this interaction can serve as a basis for designing strategies and policies aimed at promoting innovative development and the growth of creative potential. The economies of Poland, Bulgaria and Ukraine, which were studied in detail, are not innovative enough. The countries studied represent different levels of economic development and are in the phase of post-industrial development, which requires effective innovation policies and measures to support creativity. In order to increase the level of innovation and creativity, it is necessary to involve national governments and organisations (especially the European Union) that can contribute to this. The conclusions point to the need to develop comprehensive approaches to support innovation and creativity in the economies of the countries studied. This may include not only effective strategies to stimulate research and development, but also policies aimed at the cultural environment, education and other areas.

The New Development Economics as a Methodological and Ideological Discipline

The article is devoted to the description of a fundamentally new configuration of the discipline "Development Economics", offered as a theoretical understanding of modern transformation processes in the world economy. The discipline is designed for master's programs of economic directions of training, although it is built on the basis of an interdisciplinary approach. It is shown that the traditional courses on development economics, formed in the West in recent decades, were aimed at explaining the economic backwardness of developing countries and developing recommendations for overcoming the lag in the framework of globalization logic of the world economy development. The problems of developing countries and recipes for economic modernization have been presented in the format of macroeconomic models and institutional explanatory schemes, which do not reflect the much deeper causes of underdevelopment. At the beginning of the 21st century, the topics of Western courses were supplemented with global challenges of human development – inequality and poverty, environmental pollution, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the "green agenda", and so on. However, these problems are also treated within the framework of the devalued globalist agenda. The ongoing deglobalization and the search for a new world economic order have devalued the theoretical background of traditional development economics. In the proposed new discipline, the problem of modern economic development is revealed with the help of geographical, geo-economic, long-term technological, institutional factors, with the involvement of the latest research in the framework of economic theory and related scientific directions of both domestic and foreign authors. The authors propose a competitive non-equilibrium paradigm of economic processes as the basic ontological concept of the course, in contrast to the implicitly existing equilibrium paradigm in the standard versions of the course "Development Economics".

Банківське кредитування як дієвий спосіб вирішення проблеми економічного розвитку аграрних підприємств

The relevance of the topic of the article is determined by the need to improve bank lending as an effective way to solve the problem of economic development of agricultural enterprises. The reasons behind the difficulty of lending to small agricultural enterprises have been identified. The general factors constraining lending to agricultural enterprises are examined. The analysis of the factors ensuring the formation of the credit services market was based on the assumption of the need for a balanced presence of conditions on the part of supply and demand factors. The reasons for the low effectiveness of government policy measures to create credit mechanisms are identified. Proposals have been formulated to increase the availability of credit in the context of the efficiency of banks serving agricultural enterprises. Measures have been proposed to improve credit support for the agricultural sector of the economy.

Study on the impact of green finance on green total factor productivity in forestry—evidence from China

China's forestry industry's ecological, economic, and social benefits have improved significantly. However, practical problems remain, such as irrational industrial structure, serious resource consumption, and low environmental transformation efficiency. The green total factor productivity is an important index to measure the transformation of economic development mode, and improving the green total factor productivity in forestry is of great significance in guiding the transformation of forestry economy, improving the structure of agricultural economy, and realizing the green development of forestry economy. Based on the panel data of 30 provinces and cities in China from 2006 to 2021, this article adopts the entropy value method and the Global Malmquist–Luenberger index based on the SBM directional distance function to construct the index system of green finance and forestry green total factor productivity and empirically analyzes the impact and mechanism of green finance on forestry green total factor productivity. It was found that 1) green finance can improve local forestry green total factor productivity and influence the neighboring regions to improve forestry green total factor productivity through economic spillover effect, and the coefficient of spatial spillover effect was 0.1041. 2) There were regional differences in the impact of green finance on forestry green total factor productivity, which was explicitly presented as a gradual decrease from east to west “ladder-like”. 3) There was a 30.46% intermediary effect of forestry industry structure in the influence of green finance on forestry green total factor productivity. 4) There was a double-threshold effect of human capital in the influence of green finance on forestry green total factor productivity, and there was a non-linear effect of marginal increment in the influence of green finance on forestry green total factor productivity after the threshold of 5.87 human capital. Based on China's ecological and economic development background, it was significant to utilize green finance to solve forestry economic development problems and promote China's green and sustainable development, and therefore put forward policy recommendations.

Addressing Wicked Problems (SDGs) Through Community Colleges: Leveraging Entrepreneurial Leadership for Economic Development Post-COVID

AbstractThis qualitative case study aims to explore community colleges’ role in addressing wicked problems of economic development post-COVID through entrepreneurial leadership. The key research question is, “How do entrepreneurial leaders describe the role of community colleges in addressing wicked problems of economic development post-COVID.” The study interviewed 28 entrepreneurial leaders regarding the role(s) of community colleges in addressing wicked problems of economic development. The study addresses a critical gap in the literature. Researchers have yet to explore the role of associate degree-granting institutions, namely community colleges. Notably, the over 1200 U.S. community colleges serve nearly 12 million or half of America’s students (American Association of Community Colleges, 2011). From a theoretical perspective, the study leverages complexity science, complex adaptive systems, and systemic innovation to address wicked problems of economic development. Future researchers can build on these theoretical insights for future studies across many disciplines.The results provide ten key roles community colleges can potentially take on as economic development partners, making them ideal institutions to serve as incubators of post-COVID recovery. They include revitalizing communities post-COVID, performing post-COVID business triage, modeling sustainability, creating jobs, championing entrepreneurship-led economic development, increasing tax revenue, pipelining talent, supporting talent retention, supporting main street businesses, and reducing entrepreneurial risks. Researchers recommend that policymakers and other funders allocate funding to help community colleges address wicked problems through systemic innovation labs (I-Labs). Interestingly, the roles identified appear to be moderated by proximity and trust.

Spatiotemporal Variation and Prediction Analysis of Land Use/Land Cover and Ecosystem Service Changes in Gannan, China

For the preservation of ecosystems, including the enhancement of ecological strategies, examining the temporal and geographical variance in ecosystem services (ESs) and land use/land cover change (LUCC) is crucial. Gannan is situated on the upper Yellow River, which is a notable water conservation region with excellent ecological quality, but in the background of the local traditional production mode and rapid economic development, natural disasters, grassland degradation, and other ecological problems occur frequently. The integrated valuing of ecosystem services and tradeoffs (InVEST) model and the patch-generating land use simulation (PLUS) model are combined in this work to assess the spatiotemporal variance in ESs in Gannan. We set up three scenarios in modeling future land use—ecological protection (EP), natural development (ND), and economic development (ED) in 2050—and analyzed and evaluated the drivers of the variation in ESs. In order to reveal the LUCC in Gannan between 1990 and 2020, we predicted the LUCC and ESs spatial distribution characteristics in 2050, explored the correlation between its driving factors, and comprehensively analyzed and propose optimization measures and protection strategies. Through several simulation experiments, the findings indicate the following: (1) the largest percentage of land expansion for construction in Gannan between 1990 and 2020 is 74.53%, and the most noticeable percentage of shrinkage in the sand area is 20.67%; (2) from 1990 to 2020, Gannan’s water yield, carbon storage, soil retention, and habitat quality all changed, by 60 × 108 m3, 0.04 × 108 t, −10.66 × 108 t, and −0.02, respectively; (3) ESs are influenced by a variety of natural and societal variables: the southern and southwestern regions of Gannan are home to the majority of ESs hot spot areas, while the northern region is home to the majority of cold spot areas. This study contributes to the analysis of the developmental traits of Gannan ecosystems and can serve as a model for the preservation of terrestrial ecosystems with comparable environmental traits.

FORESIGHT AS A TOOL FOR RESPONSIBLE PUBLIC MANAGEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC POLICY IN THE FOCUS OF GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT PROBLEMS

Influence of Artificial intelligent in Industrial Economic sustainability development problems and Countermeasures

Economic Sustainability Development (ESD) helps improve the sustainable values needed to conserve resources via optimum use, recovery, and recycling. There should be a direct relationship between countermeasures and the cause of economic losses due to improper design of ESD. Therefore, combining big data and cutting-edge technology may facilitate real-time monitoring, encourage consumers to engage in more sustainable practices and foster the development of industry sustainability. However, countermeasures have unforeseen consequences and tradeoffs that are difficult to predict in ESD. In this research, ESD uses big data to enhance their operations and customer service, develop targeted marketing strategies, and boost sales and profitability. In ESD, Data analytics is being used by human resources to improve decision-making throughout the recruiting process and in evaluating employee performance. In the long run, Artificial Intelligence (AI) adoption may boost productivity and produce new goods, creating jobs and boosting the economy. AI may have a net beneficial impact on ESD. Therefore, ESD-AI helps to overcome the problems by minimizing costs and boosting the economy. AI-integrated ESD helps analyze vast amounts of data, which may increase the speed at which things are done and substantially enhance decision-making. Hence, a balanced approach is essential to guarantee that AI systems can tackle sustainability challenges without adversely compromising other aims to boost the economy.

By combining obstacle degree, coupling degree, and coupling coordination degree models, the high-quality development situation was empirically measured; As a result, Chuan D is weaker than the other five cities and states in four aspects: economic vitality, innovation efficiency, green development, and people’s livelihood, ranking first; The conclusion is to use it to evaluate and analyze the results of high-quality economic development in the six adjacent cities of Yunnan, Sichuan, and Guizhou provinces, and to revise the basic indicators of the system in order to better guide and guide the practice of high-quality economic development in ethnic areas.

ПЕРИОДИЗАЦИЯ ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОГО ПЛАНИРОВАНИЯ В РЕГИОНАХ РОССИИ НА ОСНОВЕ НОРМАТИВНЫХ ИЗМЕНЕНИЙ

The purpose of the article is to identify the periodization of the development of regional economic planning, the criterion of which was the degree of regulation of planning work in the regions by the federal center and the needs of the regions themselves for strategic documents that allow them to resolve key problems of territorial economic development. The article is devoted to the issues of periodization of regional socio-economic planning. It is indicated that planning is the most important foundation, thanks to which there is an optimal distribution of resources and the achievement of national and regional development goals. As a result of the study, six periods of development of regional planning in Russia were identified: – the period of directive regional planning within the framework of the Soviet economy (1917–1991) – a time of absence of widespread economic and planning self-sufficiency of the regions;– the period of “planning failure” (1991–1995) – a time of widespread independence of regions and rejection of planning mechanisms; – the period of program documents and regional initiatives in planning (1995–2002) – the time of development of strategic plans from below – by decision of regional authorities, initiative regional organizations; – a period of growing attention from the federal center to regional planning issues (2002–2014) – development of standard layouts and recommendations for long-term strategic plans of the regions on the part of the federal center; – the period of formation of the regional strategic planning system (2014–2021) – the time when mandatory requirements and guidelines for regional planning documents appeared; – development of the trend of increasing controllability of regional strategizing and growth of technocraticism (2020–2023) – time to specify the requirements of the federal center for the indicators of regional planning documents. In conclusion, the article presents the idea that over the past decades in Russia there have been processes of growth in the controllability of regional planning through the introduction of specific requirements and guidelines, as well as mechanisms and tools that should contribute to the harmonization of planned indicators of the federal center and regions

What are the photos talking and silent about? (1926 in the history of the Soviet ethnopolitical elite)

In the mid-1920s, important events took place in the development of Soviet ethnonational politics. They were associated with the active actions of ethnopolitical elites in the center and autonomies of the RSFSR. Following the IV meeting of the Central Committee of the RCP(b) with responsible workers of the national republics and regions in 1923, the adoption of the Constitution of the RSFSR in 1924, the constitutions of the autonomies were developed and legal, organizational and other management mechanisms were clarified. An important role was played by the so-called "Ryskulov meeting" held in Moscow at the end of 1926. It took place during the III session of the Central Executive Committee of the 12th convocation, the participants of which are depicted in two photographs. Having a typical character, the photographs nevertheless capture not only the international composition of the Soviet elite. Despite considerable attention to the publication of visual sources and their involvement in the relevant historical context, much remains "behind the scenes". All the characters in the photographs have not been identified, the event series and the problem field associated with them have not been reconstructed. In combination with the available published and archival sources, their analysis makes it possible to present in more detail the specifics and conflicts of the relationship between the center and the ethnopolitical leaders of the autonomous regions of the RSFSR, as well as the essence of the problems of nation-building, social and economic development that were solved jointly by all parties. Important details of the history of federal construction in the USSR and the contribution of national figures to the development of Soviet statehood are clarified. A large place is devoted to the political consequences of this meeting in the autonomous regions of the RSFSR, including in Kazakhstan.

ІСТОРІОГРАФІЯ УЧАСТІ ДЕРЖАВНОЇ ПРИКОРДОННОЇ СЛУЖБИ УКРАЇНИ В РОСІЙСЬКО-УКРАЇНСЬКІЙ ВІЙНІ (2014–2018 рр.)

The article summarizes the historiography on the topic of the study on the participation of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine in the Russian-Ukrainian war in 2014–2018. The relevance of the research topic is due to the lack of special comprehensive historical studies on the participation of border guards in the Russian-Ukrainian war in Ukrainian historiography. It is worth noting that the participation of border guards in repelling Russian aggression was not limited to direct combat operations. In addition, the border guard institution had to ensure various control measures on the demarcation line in certain areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. In addition, it is worth taking into account not only the course of military events, but also a number of numerous factors that, in their entirety, also have a significant impact on the course of the war. In particular, national issues, problems of regional social, economic, political and cultural development. At the same time, when studying modern armed conflicts, it is necessary to take into account the issue of civil-military cooperation in the state territories that have been liberated from the aggressor. Some historiographical sources include memoir literature, which provides testimonies of direct participants in hostilities. Thus, based on the achievements of modern Ukrainian scientific thought, it becomes possible to summarize the historiography of the problem in question in order to determine the place and role of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine in the Russian-Ukrainian war in 2014–2018. Prospects for further research include the analysis of the source base in order to assess its representativeness in the study of the history of the border agency’s participation in the Russian-Ukrainian war of 2014–2018.
