SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES: EMERGENCE OF FACTORS OF INCREASING TRANSACTION COSTS

Размер файла136-155 Размер файла  335.69 KB Размер файла Full text

The transition to a sustainable economy is based on a radical transformation of the institutional environment, any fundamental change of which creates additional economic and political risks for the functioning of economic entities, increases the level of competition between actors for a dominant position in the market and in society. The article attempts to assess the direction, intensity and structure of changes in transaction costs in the process of the current institutional transition. Based on the analysis of changes in the institutional environment caused by the transition to sustainable development, it was revealed that the launch and acceleration of transformation processes lead to the emergence of a number of factors that contribute to the growth of transaction costs. It is shown that the problem of increasing transaction costs and reducing the efficiency of the national economy is particularly relevant for countries that are pioneers of institutional changes, since due to the nature of the current institutional transition, the possibility of them obtaining competitive advantages due to the “pioneer effect” is not obvious and requires additional research. It is concluded that in order to avoid a decrease in the quality of life of the population in countries that have embarked on the path of sustainable development, it is necessary to continue research in the field of analyzing the consequences of the transition and to determine the optimal pace of transition to sustainable economic structures, taking into account the observance of national interests.

Keywords: sustainable development, transaction costs, institutional environment, institutions, economic development.

EGALITARIANISM IN THE CONTEXT OF MODERN CREATIVE ECONOMY

Размер файла7-20 Размер файла  306.14 KB Размер файла Full text

Abstract

The article is devoted to understanding the objective grounds for the need to reduce social inequality, which creates threats to economic development, sustainability of social and political systems. The solution to the problem of social inequality is considered within the framework of the concept of egalitarianism. The author comes to the conclusion that the implementation of the principles of egalitarianism is an objective necessity, which is formed by the nature of modern social reproduction based on the creative economy. At the center of the creative economy is a person and his creative potential. At the same time, the most important political and economic basis of the creative economy is its diversity.

Keywords: egalitarianism, inequality, creative economy, labor.

Размер файла7-25 Размер файла  355.45 KB Размер файла Full text

Abstract

Budget openness is a new phenomenon in public administration and in the socio-economic life of society, which appeared due to the development of information technologies. Monitoring of openness shows significant inequality in the level of budget transparency in different countries. The article examines the role and place of budget openness in modern concepts of public administration, such as the concept of M. Weber (Weberian), New Public Management and Good Governance. The work reveals the features of the implementation of budget openness mechanisms in the considered concepts of public administration and their causes. Also, proposals are formulated to increase the openness of the budgets so that it can work to improve the efficiency of public finance management. Promising areas of research include the development of mechanisms to improve the economic efficiency of public finance management through open budgets.

Keywords: open (transparent) budget, public finances, citizen participation in the management of public finances, Weberian concept, new public management, good governance, new public governance, efficiency of public finance management.

THE THEORETICAL APPROACHES TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF ECOSYSTEM CONCEPT IN ECONOMY

Размер файла26-46 Размер файла  642.05 KB Размер файла Full text

Abstract

Over the past decade ecosystems have become an important part of the economy, ensuring innovative business growth and progressive socio-economic development of Russia. However, to clearly understand the essence of the ecosystem in the economy, it is necessary to systematize the existing theoretical positions. The article identifies the main theoretical approaches to the development of the ecosystem concept in the economy. Based on their analysis and generalization, the evolution of the ecosystem concept from the field of ecology to economy is shown, approaches to understanding the ecosystem as a business environment and as a business model are revealed and the main features of the metaphorical use of the term “ecosystem” are determined. In addition, derived meso- and macroeconomic categories of the ecosystem are identified, emphasizing the systemic nature of socioeconomic development.

Keywords: ecosystem concept, ecological system (ecosystem), business ecosystem, digital ecosystem, regional ecosystem, national ecosystem, ecosystem of the economy.

Abstract

Structuralism is a relatively young area of economic research, but it already has its own history in Russia. The first debates over the rates and proportions of the Soviet economy began back in the 1920s. The discussions between “geneticists” and “teleologists” were quite open then. Geneticists defended the traditionalist approach, relying on the exhaustion of the restoration impulse and the need to return the country to “normal”, average world growth rates and the accumulation rate of 16-18%. Teleologists relied on the “law of socialist accumulation” and the “theory of two regulators”. They were confident in the possibilities of accelerated development; even the “starting version” of the 1st Five-Year Plan provided for achieving an accumulation rate of more than 20%. And in the end, despite the monstrous mistakes the Bolshevik leadership made during collectivization, the teleologists turned out to be right. The 2nd Five-Year Plan was more successful — the planned savings rate was reduced, the production of consumer goods was increased, and it was possible to switch from cards to planned trade turnover. The idea of accelerated development and the discovery of the law of socialist accumulation belonged to E. Preobrazhensky, but its implementation, including through planned calculations, was carried out by S. Strumilin, and starting from the 3rd Five-Year Plan — by N. Voznesensky.

The end of the post-war period and the death of I. Stalin marked the end of “adaptive modernization”. The 8th Five-Year Plan, which aimed for faster growth of Group B industries over Group A, failed to be fulfilled. By the end of the 1970s the Soviet economy fell into inevitable stagnation. Economists of that time gave alarmist forecasts about the decline in growth rates, and proposed measures to overcome the crisis, but all of those were palliative in nature. The structuralist theory of multi-level economy by Yu. Yaremenko appeared at the same time. This theory contained a number of provisions that could be called heretical, contradicting both Marxism and the neoclassical mainstream. Despite its fruitfulness, it was ignored by both planners and Soviet leaders.

Keywords: structuralism, NEP, geneticists, damping curve, teleologists, structural crisis, multilevel economy.
