Modeling of employment structural transformations

The article presents the modelling of structural transformations in the employment of the population by the algorithm: 1) forming a database and establishing the type of mathematical model; 2) identification of variables; 3) exploring the forms of correlation between factor features and the resulting variable; 4) parameterization of data; 5) drawing up the regression equation; 6) economic interpretation of the results, in particular, the calculation of elasticity coefficients; 8) validation of the model for adequacy (calculation of errors of approximation, correlation coefficients and determination); 9) validation of the model for statistical significance (Fisher criterion and Student’s t-test); 10) forecasting: calculation of confidence intervals. It is formed the statistical research base of the level dependence of the Ukrainian population employment (selected regions) on a number of factors (share of full-time workers with higher education in % to accounting number; growth rate of labor productivity; growth rate of average wages; capital investment index; coverage ratio). The research was made due to data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine in the period of 2000—2016 in the Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Kyiv and Vinnytsia regions. The dynamics of growth of selected factors for each region for the period 2000— 2016 is considered. It is established and determined the economic and mathematical models of the level dependence of the Ukrainian population employment (region) on the influence of selected factors for Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Kyiv and Vinnitsa regions. The comparative analysis of the obtained results is carried out. It is established that the determinants that influence the dynamics of employment growth for the industrial regions of Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions are the factors reflecting the share of full-time employees with higher education, growth rate of labor productivity and the coefficient of export coverage. It is made a comparative analysis of the built regional models (Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Kyiv and Vinnytsia regions) with a mathematical model of multiple regression for the analysis of structural changes in the employment of the population of Ukrain

Improvement of the Model for Calculating the Operating Profit of Industrial Enterprises Taking into Account the Problem of Optimal Distribution of Productive Resources

On the ground of the conducted research, based on the stated goals and objectives, the model of calculating the operating profit of industrial enterprises, which is based on economic and mathematical dependencies, and takes into account the problem of optimal distribution of production resources in the system of operational management has been improved. Great attention has been paid to the analysis of the cost factors in the system of analysis of the ratio of “costs – volume – profit”, the definition of the optimal distribution of productive resources from the set of possible (admissible) ones in the organization of labor and production, the difference between accounting and economic approaches to calculating profit, the difference in approaches to the classification of overhead costs in terms of activity-based costing.On the ground of the conducted research, based on the stated goals and objectives, the model of calculating the operating profit of industrial enterprises, which is based on economic and mathematical dependencies, and takes into account the problem of optimal distribution of production resources in the system of operational management has been improved.

Assessment of Impact of Global Business Environment on International Tourism Brands

In the article the concept of modern International tourism is considered. The certain estimation of influence of global factors of business-environment on the process of forming of International tourist brand of countries is presented. A role and place of sign measures is described in the sphere of tourism of International level in forming of International tourist brand of country. The distribution of the most influential factors in the groups of levels of perception of International tourist brand is conducted. The aim of research is theoretical principles and methodical approaches of forming of International tourist brand in the system of International tourism. Methodological basis of research is approach of the systems to the analysis of economic processes and phenomena in an International environment. The purpose of the work consists in a scientific grounding of teoretical and methodological principles of forming and keeping of International tourist brand of countries in the system of International tourism. Globalization, social and cultural identity at the level of separate tourist brand of a country and at the world level must dialectically co-operate and provide to tourists both the market of countries and objects interesting for a visit and market of tourist services of the world level, usually at the level of quality for any civilized tourist. However the factor of maintainance of originality as the main condition of authentication of International tourist brand of concrete country, maintainance of tourist attractiveness of this country must prevail, that conditions the essence of tourism as the method of cognition of different and usual culture, method of receipt of the new impressions. Only thus forming of International tourist brand of country becomes the mean of stimulation of demand on tourist services in a country

Marketing aspects of image formation and investment attractiveness of territories and enterprises

Purpose: The article identifies the differences between Ukraine and Poland in the image formation of the territory and investment attractiveness. Design/Methodology/Approach: A territorial-oriented approach is being introduced in Poland (an approach taking into account local conditions), which implies emphasis on a combination of investments and an integrated territorial approach, providing emphasis on activities that contribute to development. Findings: The regions of Ukraine are characterized by different levels of investment volume due to the differences in competitive advantages. In contradistinction from Ukraine, the competitive advantages of the territories provide a high level of investment attractiveness in Poland; they are integrated, and are generally based on advanced infrastructure (digital, business, transport), high-tech industries, advanced business services, economic zones, academic centers. Practical Implications: The conducted research makes it possible to identify several basic features of image formation and investment attractiveness of territories. Originality/Value: The basic key difference concerns the competence of countries’ integration of formed competitive advantages of the territory. The specified competence is traced in Poland, while in Ukraine the absence of this competence leads to underutilization of the regions’ potential.peer-reviewe

Elaboration of the Regional Clusters in Hotel Economy

The modern approach to the cluster methodology usage in the sphere of hotel economy is presented in the article. It was proved, that the one of forms of such integration is a formation of hotel cluster. Just in the hotel cluster (association) and not at the level of separate hotel enterprise are formed such processes as: integration of objects, organization of unitary informational system; selective support by the local budget of building hotels and other lodging means; innovative policy and introduction of new technologies; allotment of the territory for building; revision of transport routes; development of engineer-technical nets and so on. There are presented the data about the situation and dynamics of development of the hotel services sector іn Zaporizhzhya region. The analysis of hotel economy of Zaporizhzhya region testifies that the causes of significant fluctuations of the number of guests in hotels were not only the general economic crisis but also the appearance of new form of competition between autonomous hotels, hotel nets and private apartments of lodging type. The number of placed foreign citizens that are the source of currency costs and services export also changed. The results of analysis indicate the essential discrepancies between the main characteristics of the hotels of different, types, the comfort level and the state of material-technical base that is insufficiently developed. The analysis of financial-economic activity of hotel complexes, especially, profitability of their work, testifies that the special attention of enterprise leaders must be paid to the reduction of spendings on exploitation of hotels that form the cost price of hotel services and, accordingly, their price. The features of inclusion of small hotels to the general strategy of hotel economy reorganization are determined

Analysis Of Economic Efficiency Of Grain Production Of Main Food And Grain-forage Crops In The Region

In the process of the study of the economic efficiency of grain production of main food and grain-forage crops in the studied region we have considered a series of main production-financial parameters that are determined by their nature as: a ratio between resources consumption and volume of goods and services, produced of these resources; maximal volume of production of goods and services using the minimal cost of resources; obtaining of the maximal result of limited resources, accessible for a human. The essential increase of grain production and improvement of its economic efficiency is, undoubtedly, the most important task of the state agrarian policy, its solution determines guaranteeing of the effective activity of both grain-production subcomplex and agro-industry in whole and also food safety of the country. The scientific article presents the analysis of the economic efficiency of grain production on the example of agrarian enterprises of Ternopil region in 2010-2016. The work demonstrates economic-financial results of realization of grain and leguminous crops of the region and also presents production-economic indices of realization of grain of main food and grain-forage crops – wheat, corn for grain, barley, buckwheat, pea. The realized work allows to determine tendencies of the economic efficiency of grain production, to estimate its competitiveness under conditions of the market environment

Mykhailo Hrushevskyi’s Father: Biographical Aspects

The key scholarly issue of contemporary Ukrainian research is not only a return to existing problems and figures but also a search for new figures and the filling of historical and biographical gaps. The present article is dedicated to the biography of Kyiv Theological Academy graduate Serhii Hrushevskyi (1830–1901), a figure who has rarely appeared in research previously. He was a talented teacher and gained credibility and respect among his contemporaries. More attention should be paid to his publications in periodicals, the themes of which varied from pedagogy to linguistics. It is necessary to emphasize the importance of Hrushevskyi in the development of public education of the late 19th century. The education, hard work, and active social activity of Serhii Hrushevskyi had a positive impact on his son, renowned Ukrainian politician and statesman, historian Mykhailo Hrushevskyi (1866–1934), for whom his father was his first and major mentor. Love for “Ukrainians,” learning and writing, selfless work – is the legacy that Serhii Hrushevskyi passed on to Mykhailo, which was always at the core of his life and scholarly activity. The results of the article not only contain new biographical information about Hrushevskyi’s family, but also emphasize the significant role of the biographical component in modern scholarly research

Ukraine: On the border between old and new in uncertain times

This chapter provides an overview of the demographic situation in Ukraine, including explanations for the decline to very low fertility and changes in family policy. Drawing on official statistics, survey data, and focus group interviews, the analysis shows that the country’s decline to lowest-low fertility is primarily due to the postponement of or the reduction in second births, as opposed to the postponement of first births. The chapter includes a discussion on the link between low fertility and changing marriage patterns, contraceptive prevalence, and abortion. The author then reviews the evidence for the leading explanations of fertility decline in Ukraine, including economic uncertainty, social anomie, the Second Demographic Transition, and unequal gender relations. In addition, the author proposes unexplored factors that may lead to fertility limitation, such as the increasing difficulty of combining work and childrearing, insufficient housing, changes in intergenerational support, and the deterioration of health lifestyles and marital relations.childbearing, fertility, Ukraine
