Agent-oriented model of three-level hierarchical minimax management of a regional industrial complex

The developed countries experience indicates the relevance of managing problems of the territorial industrial complexes and the need to create and develop applicable models based on modern approaches that take into account uncertainty and the possibility of management optimizing. The methodological basis of the research was the theory of industrial economics, the theory of economic and mathematical modeling, the theory of optimal control, optimization theory, and game theory. The model uses an agent-oriented approach, methods of economic and mathematical modeling, methods of building management systems of socio-economic systems, a minimax approach. Three-level management model of the regional industrial complex is proposed, its hierarchical subject-object structure is determined. The parameters of industrial facilities are presented in the form of a phase vector, and for each agent the structure of control and information links, algorithms for the choice of control actions are formalized. The problems of forming minimax control actions sets for each agent, solved in the course of using the model, are formulated, and a general consistent algorithm for choosing optimal control actions is proposed. The developed model will make possible to implement it in a software environment and create a tool for modeling the processes of managing the regional industrial complex, and in future — a flexible extensible software toolkit for managing industry at the regional level is to be created.

Methodology for regional industrial complex management: Architecture of an agent-based model

Industry is the backbone of the economy of developed countries and individual regions. To optimize management processes in such a complex and multi-level sector, specific economic-mathematical models and practical tools have to be developed. The paper discusses the optimal architecture of the regional industrial complex management model on a modern theoretical-methodological and instrumental (program) basis. The classical management theory, optimization theory and game theory constitute the methodology of this study. Among the research methods applied are agent-based and minimax approaches. We substantiate the use of agent-based modelling to simulate administering the regional industrial complex. The paper presents a three-tiered management architecture consisting of federal, regional and company level authorities (united by type of activity). For each level, control agents are identified and a set of indicators formed, which cover the structure of the phase vector, including its attributes, key parameters, control actions used, risks, a model of the parameters’ dynamics, and a model of the data possessed by the object. We build a hierarchical structure of administration and information relationships in the model and, based on the minimax approach, create an algorithm of agents’ efforts to select optimal control actions. The proposed architecture will allow forming a flexible toolkit for assessing industrial development scenarios and producing the best step-by-step management pattern of the regional industrial complex.

Идентификация параметров агент-ориентированной модели управления промышленным комплексом региона

Current challenges facing the Russian economy require models to optimise industrial management processes at the regional level. Therefore, a three-level hierarchical agent-based model for minimax control of the regional industrial complex is considered in this research. The study aims to develop an approach to solving a parameter identification problem of the agent-based model for managing the industrial complex of Sverdlovsk oblast. To this end, the paper presents a theoretical justification for the implemented approach, a formalisation of the aforementioned problem, and an algorithm for constructing and selecting models to assess management system parameters. The method of linear regression analysis was applied to solve the identification problem. The proposed approach was tested using data on 28 types of industrial activity in Sverdlovsk oblast for 2005–2021. The phase vector of statistical identification models was defined by the following parameters: the average annual number of employees of enterprises; fixed assets; gross value added; volume of shipped goods, performed works and services; balanced financial results of enterprises; investment in fixed capital; costs of implementing and using digital technologies. The control vector was determined by the factors of attracting budgetary and other (external) funds. As a result, 125 high-quality models were built to solve parameter identification problems of the agent-based model used for managing the industrial complex of Sverdlovsk oblast. The obtained statistical models can be used to establish communication between agents, clarify their specificity, calculate and assess management performance. The proposed approach can be applied to predict the development of regional industrial complexes in accordance with planned control actions, as well as to calculate control actions necessary to achieve target parameters.

Tool Development for Assessing the Strategic Development of Territorial Socio-Economic Systems for the Purposes of Energy Sector Digital Transformation

This article addresses the issue of implementing and assessing the readiness of territorial and economic systems for digital innovations in the energy industry. To achieve the goal of this research, qualitative and quantitative methods were used, including systemic and comparative analyses, a balanced scorecard (BSC), and statistical data collection and processing methods. The study resulted in a list of indicators for monitoring the readiness of the energy sector for digitization, based on which a balanced scorecard reflecting the readiness of the energy industry in countries and regional industrial complexes (RICs) was developed. A strategic map for assessing the level of readiness of the power industry for digitisation in countries and RICs was constructed using the indicator pool. The uniqueness and novelty of this study lie in the adaptation of a balanced scorecard system, aligned with a country’s or RIC’s development strategy, to determine indicators for assessing the readiness level of the considered entity for digitising the power industry. The authors establish an approach to the overall assessment and subsequent monitoring of the energy industry’s readiness for digitisation in countries worldwide and RICs.

Модель замыкания циклов («экономического креста») как инструмент форсайта комплексного развития отрасли

The article proposes a methodology for foresight analysis of the development of a regional industry complex and tools for its implementing, taking into account the peculiarities of the processes of technological transformations taking place in the modern economies of Russia and the world. Attention is paid to the problems arising from the inconsistency of tasks solved through the use of traditional approaches and methods of planning the development of regional industrial complexes, and new economic challenges in the field of economic planning, due to the transformation of the technological demands of production processes. The procedure for introducing an innovative methodology for closing cycles (“economic cross”) in the process of industry development foresight was developed by the authors taking into account the peculiarities of the functioning of the regional economy, including the peculiarities of the infrastructural and personnel asymmetry of the regions in which the modernization of the sectoral production complex is planned. The proposed methodology can be used for the purposes of industry development foresight both as an independent tool and in combination with other tools for planning and forecasting, including the method of constructing intersectoral balances, which is actively used in Russian and international practice. The practical significance of the cycle closure model (“economic cross”) lies in the possibility of its use for the purposes of industry complex development digital modeling without any changes compared to offline practice due to the fact that the proposed model allows us to represent a complex economic process as modules and flows described parametrically. The article presents a description of the most recommended economic and mathematical parameters for inclusion in the model and provides recommendations for determining their basic values.

Nuclear Power Industry of the USSR Far East: Plans and Problems of Creating an Industry

Introduction. The article discusses the plans and identifies the problems of creating a nuclear power industry in the Far East of the USSR in 1960–1991, reveals the historical reasons for the development of regional projects of nuclear power plants, and determines the conditions for their implementation. Materials and Methods. The study is based on a corpus of unpublished sources, including declassified documents found in federal and regional archives. The study uses a state-centered and regional approach, as well as traditional historical and historical-economic methods. Results. Planning for the creation of a nuclear power industry in the Far East began in the late 1950s – early 1960s during the preparation of long-term plans for the economic development of the region. In 1966–1976 the first experimental low-power nuclear power plant – Bilibino NPP in Chukotka was built. Since the early 1970s projects of two large nuclear power plants were developed, in the mid-1980s the USSR government included them in the programs of economic development of the region. Discussion and Conclusion. There were no conditions for the creation of a nuclear power industry in the Far East, when the USSR economy was in crisis. Problems such as the weak construction industry of the Ministry of Energy of the USSR, the material and technical insecurity and underfunding of the facilities it built, the shortage of labor resources and qualified personnel, did not allow the construction of nuclear power plants in the Far East to be launched. In the late 1980s the Far Eastern public after the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant negatively perceived such projects. With the collapse of the USSR and the fall of the regional industrial complex, the problem of an acute shortage of energy resources that regional nuclear power plants had to solve was smoothed out. At present, there is no such problem in the energy supply of the Far East.

Технічні й економічні аспекти створення підгалузі з виробництва синтетичного рідкого палива в Україні

The article proves that today Ukraine finds itself in a situation where it depends solely on imported supplies of light oil products to meet its motor fuel needs, which is unacceptable from the point of view of the country’s energy and national security, and the solution to this problem lies in the plane of organization of motor fuel production from the country’s own natural resources. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the technical and economic foundations for creating a synthetic motor fuel subsector in Ukraine. To achieve this aim, the authors define the classification of alternative motor fuels; provide a comparative description of the energy content and scope of use of different types of motor fuels, and also provides comparative characteristics of synthetic along with the best grades of natural oil; assess the compliance of synthetic gasoline and diesel fuel with the Euro-4 standard; considers the technical-operational advantages of synthetic analogues of oil fuel over other alternatives. Based on the carried out analysis, the article proves that, given the limited resource capabilities of Ukraine’s motor fuel production from oil and natural gas, the production of synthetic liquid motor fuel (SLMF) from coal raw materials should be recommended for development in the country; the raw material base for the production of synthetic liquid fuel is researched. The article also analyzes the peculiarities of methods and specific technologies for producing synthetic liquid motor fuel from coal and determines that the technology of synthesizing synthetic liquid motor fuel using the Fischer-Tropsch method with preliminary production of synthesis gas by steam-oxygen gasification of coal is advisable for development in Ukraine. Taking this into account, the resource and product balance of the full cycle of synthetic liquid fuel production is formed, a general production scheme of the industry subsector of SLF in Ukraine is developed, technical-economic characteristics of the national and regional industrial complexes for the production of SLF are presented, and the structure of the subsector for the production of SLF in the country is proposed.

Economic Assessment of the Consequences of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism Introduction for the Regional Industrial Complex (on the Example of the Sverdlovsk Region)

Concern about the problem of anthropogenic climate change has led to the active development of various tools to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. One such tool to combat carbon leakage is the carbon border adjustment mechanism, which was adopted by the European Union in 2021. Starting in 2026, carbon payments will affect all exporters of carbon-intensive products to the EU. The purpose of the article is an economic assessment of the consequences of the introduction of the carbon border adjustment mechanism for the regional industrial complex by studying the case of the Sverdlovsk region. The hypothesis of the study is to substantiate the need to take into account the economic losses of enterprises from carbon regulation measures in the formation of regional and country strategies for low-carbon development. An overview of carbon regulation tools is made, and the place of the carbon border adjustment mechanism is shown. A detailed description of the calculation procedure is given. An economic assessment of potential losses for enterprises of the Sverdlovsk region from the introduction of transboundary carbon regulation was carried out according to three scenarios for determining the carbon intensity of products: by actual values (scenario 1); according to average Russian values (scenario 2); according to the worst 10% EU installations (scenario 3). The results showed that annual payments for the enterprises of the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Sverdlovsk</st1:city></st1:place> region would amount to 73.7 million euros (scenario 1), 95.4 million euros (scenario 2), 73.0 million euros (scenario 3). In the current situation, scenario 2 is the most probable, in which the most progressive enterprises in terms of applied technologies would suffer the maximum losses. To minimize payments, it is proposed to introduce a methodology for accounting for greenhouse gas emissions in the context of manufactured products, develop in-country tools for carbon regulation, and stimulate the introduction of low-carbon technologies. The tools proposed by the authors can be used by employees of enterprises to assess the expected costs of introducing carbon regulation. Also, the toolkit can be used by regional decision makers to assess the losses of the region's budget and changes in the structure of exports due to transboundary carbon regulation, and to justify financial support measures for enterprises.
