The grain industry occupies a leading position in the domestic agricultural market, and today, under the conditions of the 2022 war, the effective functioning of the grain market is extremely important to solve the problem of ensuring food and national security not only in Ukraine, but also in many other countries of the world. The purpose of the research is to conduct a correlation-regression analysis of the profitability of grain production in Ukraine, to single out the main influencing factors, to build a linear regression model based on the factors identified. Previous studies devoted to this topic (conducted by scientists from Ukraine, Great Britain, Egypt, Bangladesh, Iran, Niger, Nigeria, Zimbabwe and China) cover a wide range of factors influencing the profitability of grain production. However, the authors assume that to the greatest extent the studied indicator is influenced by precisely those factors that come from the essence of the definition of the profitability indica...

The start of the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war caused the largest wave of migration in the 21st century. More than five million Ukrainian citizens left for EU countries within a few months of the start of the conflict. The purpose of this paper is to forecast the level of health care expenditure in Ukraine for 2023–2024, considering the scale of migration and the fall in the level of GDP. The authors propose three scenarios for the development of Ukraine’s economy in 2023–2024, taking into account changes in the age structure of the population, migration, and the amount of health care expenditure: (1) Pessimistic, in which economic growth will resume only in 2024, with a GDP rise of 5.6%, provided that the war concludes at the end of 2022. Under this scenario, inflation will be about 21% in 2023–2024, a slight decrease compared with the previous year. Some 12% of the population of Ukraine will have emigrated, resulting in a corresponding 12% drop in health care expenditure in 202...

The ingrained tendency to implement information and communication technologies (ICT) in EU enterprises over the last decade has caused dramatic changes in the labor market. Since the demand for ICT personnel is growing, there is still a need to create a comprehensive strategy to effectively manage ICT specialists when restructuring enterprises. The aim of the research is to identify transferring processes between low‑ and high‑skilled ICT personnel and predict the employment rate in the ICT field until 2025. A Markov chain was used as the method of analysis. Using statistical data about the employment rate of ICT personnel by education attainment level, we have built a Markov chain model that describes the processes of ICT personnel with different levels of education. Data from 2005 to 2019 was used to build forecasting because of the absence of the latest information. We demonstrate that with the help of digitalization, the employment rate of ICT staff in 2025 will increase by 64...

Climate challenges in recent decades have forced a change in attitude towards forms of environmental interaction. The International Climate Conference COP26 evidences the relevance of the climate issue at the global level in Glasgow (November 2021). A decrease in natural energy resources leads to a search for alternative energy sources. Given this, this article is devoted to studying the peculiarities of the transition to climate management of the green energy transmission chain based on the circular economy and smart technologies. This paper has used simulation modeling to develop an algorithm for applying a smart approach to climate management of the green energy transmission chain based on the work of Industry 4.0 technologies. The result of this modeling will be the importance of strengthening the ability to develop intersectoral partnerships to create climate-energy clusters based on a closed cycle of using energy resources and developing smart technologies.

The article substantiates the choice of the main factors influencing the development of digital trade in the three leading countries: the U.S., Great Britain, and China. In research was make a comparative analysis of the selected factor features by the method of scaling the data relative to their maximum values. Economic and mathematical models of the influence of these factors on the volume of digital trade in the country are built. It is proved that the volume of digital trade will increase under the influence of increasing the number of secure servers and the share of the population using the Internet and shrinking in the context of strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights. It is established that the largest digital trade will grow in China, but the most positive economic effect will be achieved in the United States.

The paper empirically explores the impact of external public debt in Ukraine on key macroeconomic indicators such as real GDP growth, real effective exchange rate, and current account balance. The problem of increasing external debt affects not only the problems of balance of payments fluctuations but also economic security and economic growth. We have tested the hypotheses regarding the impact of Ukraine’s external public debt on these indicators in the short and long run. As an empirical tool for hypotheses testing vector autoregression models (VaR models) have been chosen. The results of constructed models show the acceleration of the external public debt growth provokes the GDP growth rate to fall with subsequent macrostabilization. The reaction of the GDP growth rate to the shock of the real effective exchange rate is more noticeable. The shock of real effective exchange rate has led to increase in external public debt with a further dampening to zero.Empirical data from the Va...

The idea of the current article is to identify the influence of stakeholders on corporate social responsibility (CSR) of the specific company. In general, by following CSR principles the company is trying to pursue two goals, which are the following: to be socially responsible and to create a good image in society to get higher profit. The important point is to decide which stakeholders have a strong influence on corporate social responsibility in order to develop strong relations with them and to build an effective CSR program. Thus, as the result of the application of the current method the company would be able to understand, with which stakeholders to develop its relations in order to improve its image in the external environment. The task of evaluating stakeholder influence on company SR quantitatively is quite complicated. Thus, a special method that combines expert judgments with quantitative evaluation needs to be applied. For this purpose, method based on Analytic Hierarchy Process is suggested to be used in the article. As a result of the method application, we receive the overall estimation of stakeholder influence on company SR. The latter permits us to decide with which stakeholders to work more actively. To conduct the calculations Expert Choice 11 computational toolkit was used.

The paper explores the influence of innovations on economic growth in countries, which are candidates to membership in the European Union. For empirical research, we have chosen nine countries such as Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Moldova, Turkey, and Ukraine. To investigate the impact of innovation factors on economic performance we have constructed three panel data models with fixed effects. The results of models estimation show ICT service exports (% of total service exports) and number of researchers in R&D (per million people) affect GDP per capita of the countries – candidates for membership in the EU with a lag of one year. Besides this, all control variables are significant except government expenditure on education. Given the ceteris paribus clause, an increase in the ICT service exports by 1% will lead to the rise of GDP per capita by minimum 0.09 and maximum 0.16 percent points. At the same time, an increase in the number o...

На межі третього тисячоліття світове співтовариство дійшло до необхідності переосмислення шляхів суспільного розвитку. Концепція економічного зростання раніше перевалювала щодо підходу до аналізу матеріального виробництва з чисто економічної точки зору, вона застосовувалася поки природні ресурси здавалися невичерпними в силу обмеженого впливу виробничої діяльності людини. Проте в даний час суспільство приходить до усвідомлення, що економічна діяльність є лише частиною загальнолюдської діяльності, а економічний розвиток доцільніше розглядати в рамках більш широкої концепції суспільного розвитку. У статті розглянута проблема впровадження українськими компаніями корпоративної соціальної відповідальності як важливого фактору у процесі прийняття управлінських рішень. Вирішення цієї проблеми стосується усього і кожного: тут і неприбуткові організації, і державні установи, і групи громадян з різноманітними інтересами; постачальники, потенційні інвестори, акціонери, політики.

The system of environmental taxes in EU countries is expected to have an impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Since 2010 the emphasis on environmental regulation has shifted towards the EU 2020 strategy. This research continues the previous author’s studies about the environmental measurement of welfare economics. The article tests the hypothesis of the inverse effect of the environmental taxation level on CO2 emissions. The method of cross-correlation analysis was used to confirm the hypothesis. As the dependent variables were chosen emission indicators (CO2, PM2.5mg), and the independent variables were selected environmental taxes, the share of renewable energy, the number of businesses in the country that have an environmental certificate ISO 14001. The level of environmental taxation has a significant impact on the amount of CO2 emissions in the direction of their reduction. The share of renewable energy in final consumption also has a significant impact on the dynamics ...

The article discusses the most actual reform of the national economy – health care sector transformation. One of the directions of this reform is e-health solutions. Well-known, that today the Government of Ukraine has a strong political will to launch the e-Health system for the benefit of its citizens and the health care institutions. Thus, since 2017 the Ministry of Health of Ukraine has announced the implementation of the e-Health project as its priority. In the article, we discuss that the Ministry seeks to establish a medical data system, which will maintain a pan-Ukrainian registry of patients, doctors and medical institutions, as well as possess data on contractual relations between them. The goals of this reform include achieving maximal informativeness and minimal regulatory burden in order to transform a highly inefficient Ukrainian healthcare system. Rapidly growing local ICT sector and governments’ vision for eHealth predict well for the future. In the example of EU countries, we analyze pro et contra of e-health reform and predict the effectiveness of the Ukrainian health care sector transformation in the nearest future.

The article is devoted to the consideration of the ethical and ecological aspect of the framework conditions for the welfare state formation. The hypothesis of the negative influence of high ethnic fractionalization on the ecological situation in a country that in the classical welfare states is offset by the high efficiency of government through the initiation of the function of balancing the interests of ethnic groups in the transmission buffer mechanism is tested in the paper. The study used correlation and regression analysis tools using the application statistical software package STATISTICA. The hypothesis of an inverse relationship between the degree of heterogeneous society and the ecological quality is empirically substantiated. It is proved that the quality of governance can weaken the inverse relationship between ethnic fractionalization and the ecological situation in the country. In the welfare states, the neutralization factor of ethnic fractionalization by the quality...

At the end of 2019, the new virus called Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) spread widely from China all over the world (including Europe). Most countries in Europe at the beginning of 2020 have been quarantined. The aim of the work is to develop the system dynamics model for assessing the impact of the different factors on the COVID-19 death rate in Europe. There were tested three hypotheses about factors of reducing the COVID-19 death rate with the help of linear regression analysis. The density of the population of European countries doesn’t affect the COVID-19 death rate. Also, COVID-19 death rate does not drastically affect mortality statistics. But the level of country’s economic development is a factor of COVID-19 death rate because in high developed countries the pandemic death rate is lower, regardless of the mechanisms of the spread of the disease and its impact on human health.

Nowadays, humanity has witnessed an extremely complex historical event. Humanity is faced with a coronavirus infection, which has grown into a rare and dangerous phenomenon - a pandemic. The newest threat, with which the entire planet is fighting, has set before each country, without exception, special tasks to find and develop new methods to combat the spread of the virus and effective methods of treating it. New legal regulations are needed to introduce innovative technologies - to create conditions for the most effective use of the capabilities of artificial intelligence to combat the spread of COVID-19. World experience also points us to the need to apply the latest technologies to defeat a new infection. Only in this way struggle can be effective. This article broadly presents and classifies the global experience in the use of artificial intelligence to combat coronavirus, and also analyzes the strategies of legal regulation in a pandemic. This is a valuable platform for a constructive study of the identified problem, and also contributes to the creation of modern conditions for the use of artificial intelligence technologies to resolve the situation with coronavirus infection. It is emphasized that artificial intelligence technologies make it possible to quickly overcome challenges both nationally and internationally and prevent their recurrence in future. The author notes that the most important requirements for the observance of constitutional rights and freedoms citizens and the impossibility of limiting them when using artificial intelligence technologies, which are established in regulatory legal acts, on the legal regime of the results of artificial intelligence.

The idea of the article is to analyse the effectiveness of support provided for students of IT educational programs. In order to conduct the latter, the authors conducted the analysis of statistical data on enrolment to IT educational programmes at Lviv Polytechnic National University (LPNU) during the period from 2016 to 2018. The enrolment scores of new coming students were compared with their ratings for the 1 and 2 semesters of study at the university. Strong disproportions between the results of External Independent Testing (EIT, equivalent to maturity test in Western countries) of the applicants and their study ratings for the 1 and 2 semesters were revealed. Students with high EIT results underachieved during the first periods of their studies. Based on these data, conclusions concerning the effectiveness of educational and social support systems for students at the university were made. To improve student support and ensure their full involvement in academic and social life in the university, recommendations were suggested.

Today, university rankings are becoming an increasingly popular tool for assessing the quality of higher education in Eastern Europe (including Ukraine). The article aims to analyze the peculiarities of ranking both structural units of universities and universities themselves on several educational and scientific indicators. On the example of classical, economic, technical, and medical universities the publishing activity of researchers in the fields of knowledge is demonstrated. Such an approach can identify leaders in the field of knowledge, which will have a positive impact on the quality of education through the quality of research. A method of assessing the rating of individual departments of the University of Sumy State University as a best practice for other universities in Ukraine to follow is also proposed.

The purpose of this study was to explore the indirect and direct relationships of Big-5 and dark personality traits (i.e., extroversion, neuroticism, agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness, narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, sadism, and spitefulness) with job performance via perfectionism, stress, and social media addiction. A total of 514 private sector employees filled out a query sheet that included the assessment tools for the variables. Path analysis using a multiple mediation model indicated that neuroticism was negatively directly and indirectly related to job performance via stress and social media addiction. Machiavellianism and spitefulness were directly positively associated with job performance, and Machiavellianism-related higher social media addiction diminished the direct positive effect of Machiavellianism on job performance, indicating complex relationships. Furthermore, stress, social media addiction, and perfectionism were related to different personal...

Based on polling of citizens of different age groups living in Kyiv, Ternopil, Donetsk, Sumy, Zaporizhia, Poltava and Volyn regions of Ukraine, we tested thehypothesis thatthere is alow demand for the public good « a clean environment». We found that 60% of citizens are not satisfied with the level of awareness about the ecological situation in their places of residence, and that the Internet is the main source of information for respondents under 45 years old, while for the older generation its place is taken by TV. In general, young people are ready to engage in solving environmental problems and are well informed about the existence of international environmental organizations and movements. Up to 90% of the population is concerned about the threat of the global environmental crisis, and as the main threats they named transport and industry.

The article contains a thorough study of tourist flows in Ukraine during the last 18 years. The tendencies of the development of international tourism during the last 20 years and their influence on the development of tourism in Ukraine have been explored. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of inbound tourist flows. The negative dynamics of tourist arrivals in Ukraine led to the construction of a forecast model for the development of this component of tourism activity with the aim of an objective assessment of future tourist arrivals and the adoption of effective management decisions on improving the situation of tourism in Ukraine. Tourist destinations today are rigorously competing for consumer interest in tourism products. In view of this, tourist facilities operating in the tourist market place particular emphasis on the elements of tourism marketing (product, price, distribution, advertising, human capital, actual data, processes).Modern forecasting systems and method...

In the 21st century, in addition to the generally well-known indicators of material well-being, in the modern paradigm of the welfare state, the quality of the ecological environment is gaining an ever-increasing role. Besides that, the modern definition of welfare state takes into account not only environmental dimension, but also the quality of institutions through the governance system that affects the supply of environmental goods. The study provides the classification of countries according to indicators that can ensure the identification of welfare states and the assessment of the classification role of the criteria for environmental state.The strong direct correlation between environmental state and government efficiency has been established. The results of the classification of the studied countries obtained by k-means clustering methods indicate the possibility of using the Environmental Performance Index (EPI), Government Effectiveness Index (GEI) and government expenditur...
