Cooperation and subcontracting enterprises as a form of deepening the process of integration within the Eurasian Economic Union

The article considers such forms of integration between enterprises as subcontracting and cooperation, designed to increase the industrial potential, activate the processes of restructuring industries and move them to a qualitatively new level. The purpose of the study is to identify the features and trends of the process of integration of enterprises through the mechanism of subcontracting and cooperation within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and to substantiate the prospects for its further development.The paper describes the degree of development of national subcontracting markets in the countries that are part of the Eurasian Economic Union, and identifies the features of national systems for supporting cooperation and subcontracting processes. The authors carry out the analysis of the dynamics of cooperative supplies between the EAEU member states in the sectoral context, as well as the analysis of structural shifts in trade in intermediate goods in the context of the participating countries. The latter found a shift in the final links of the cooperative chains of product value formation in the EAEU space, which indicates the deepening of integration processes. The article considers the problems of information, financial and regulatory support for the development of subcontracting and cooperation. The paper determines the reasons that hinder the integration processes in the EAEU. The results of the study can be used in the development of an industrial strategy and integration policy in the Eurasian space

Investment attractiveness of the region’s development pole: methodology and analysis

The aim of the study is to develop scientific and methodological provisions for assessing the investment attractiveness of the region’s development poles and their approbation on the materials of the Sughd region of the Republic of Tajikistan. At the same time, a methodology should be developed for determining and justifying the capital investment objects with the highest return of the region’s development pole and growth point. The main objective of the research paper is to assess the investment attractiveness of the development poles as objects that most effectively use the region’s limited resources. The research methods are based on the principles of system-complex, deterministic and causal approaches in combination with the principle of dynamism. In relation to the Tajik regions considered as quasi-economy, the following range of indicators has been substantiated and proposed: the region’s enterprises production total profitability; market conditions (the industry production volumes dynamics and the development poles); competitive situation (the large competitors number in the region); the ratio of profitable and unprofitable enterprises; average labour productivity; the growth locomotives presence in the region. Based on the accounting and analysis of these indicators, a comparative assessment of the investment attractiveness of the North Development Pole and the food industry of the Sughd region of the Republic of Tajikistan has been carried out. It has been proved that the investment attractiveness of the development pole is 2.3 times higher than the investment attractiveness of the food industry chosen as a base for comparison.

METHODOLOGICAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF IDENTIFYING DEVELOPMENT POLES AND GROWTH POINTS IN THE REGIONAL ECONOMY

Criteria of allocation of development poles and growth points in the regional economy have been proved. Technique of allocation of potential development poles and growth points based on the account of multiplicative effect in vertically diversified enterprises has been developed. It has been revealed and quantitatively estimated that the higher attractiveness of the development poles in the regional economy is due to the synergetic effect, which is manifested in the diversification and modernization of production in the compactly located territory of the region. A map of poles and growth points in Sughd region of the Republic of Tajikistan has been compiled and it has been proved that a development pole has been formed in the region, located in the North of Khujand and in adjacent to it B. Gafurovsky and J. Rasulovsky districts. It is called the “North development pole” and is at the stage of maturity of the life cycle, as it fully characterizes the market relations that function in the development pole. The results of the study can be used in the development of investment rating and typology of the country’s regions, social policy and state regulation of spatial development
