DIAGNOSIS OF INVESTMENT CYCLE DEVIATIONS IN UNFINISHED CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR

Размер файла48-69  
 Размер файла  430.41 KB Размер файла Full text

The effectiveness of budget investments is largely determined by the structure of capital expenditures and the allocation of resources across investment projects at different stages of their implementation. In this context, particular importance is attached to the analysis of unfinished construction as a collection of unfinished projects, making it possible to diagnose deviations in the investment cycle and assess their prevalence from the perspective of budget efficiency. The study aims to develop and test an approach to assessing the structure of unfinished construction based on the classification of its projects. The methodology is based on budget reporting data and formalized criteria characterizing project status and investment cycle parameters. An empirical analysis of data from eight constituent entities of the Russian Federation shows that only 27,6% of investment projects are implemented without significant deviations, while these projects account for 36,7% of total expenditures incurred. The majority of the analyzed unfinished construction projects either exhibit various forms of investment cycle deviations or lack sufficient information for assessment. The proposed approach transforms budget reporting data from an accounting tool for capital construction projects into a tool for managing unfinished construction from the perspective of budget efficiency.

Keywords: unfinished construction, capital construction projects, investment cycle, investment cycle deviations, budget investment, budget reporting, management decision-making.

ON BASIC PENSION INCOME: AMOUNTS AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT

Размер файла31-47   
 Размер файла  366.45 KB Размер файла Full text

The paper substantiates the proposals for introducing a basic pension income as an element of a prospective pension system model and as a tool for enhancing the material well-being of retirees. The current pension benefits are analyzed with respect to their constituent components. Various approaches to the implementation of the basic pension income as a baseline level of social guarantees within the financial framework of the pension system are examined. The optimal amount of such income is determined, the total expenditure required for its disbursement is estimated, and potential sources of its financing are identified. It is concluded that a comprehensive approach is essential when addressing the question of funding sources for the basic pension income. Accordingly, solutions are proposed for adjusting tax legislation in order to ensure the payment of this income.

Keywords: basic pension income, pension system, mandatory pension insurance, state pension provision, social policy, pension.

BARRIERS TO CONSUMER DEMAND FOR CULTURAL GOODS AND THE LIMITS OF CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS’ RESPONSIBILITY

Размер файла96-115  
 Размер файла  335.77 KB Размер файла Full text

In Russia, indicators measuring the level of demand for cultural goods are used as key metrics for evaluating the performance of the cultural sector. Over the past two decades, public authorities have attempted to stimulate attendance growth by establishing target values for attendance metrics in official policy documents for the cultural sector. At the same time, the root causes of declining demand for cultural goods have not been fully addressed. As a result, responsibility for achieving these targets is shifted to cultural organizations. The article argues that demand for cultural goods is shaped by a set of framework conditions: socioeconomic, infrastructural and institutional conditions. These framework conditions create barriers for end consumers and are beyond the managerial control of cultural institutions. The study examines the main barriers faced by end consumers (the country’s population) seeking to increase their consumption of cultural goods. These barriers include financial barriers to access to certain cultural goods, the limited spatial accessibility of cultural institutions, and other constraints. The article analyzes not only these demand-side barriers but also their root causes, the removal of which is urgently needed to improve access to cultural goods for broad groups of the population. The study helps to clarify the limits of cultural institutions’ responsibility for attendance outcomes. It also raises the question of the relevance of these metrics as key indicators for assessing the development of the cultural sector and the effectiveness of public support measures.

Keywords: cultural policy, demand for cultural goods, attendance of cultural institutions, demand-side barriers, performance evaluation, relevance of objectives, public support for culture.

ISSUES OF INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF SUPPORT POPULATION POINTS IN THE CONTEXT OF RUSSIA’S SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES

Размер файла7-30  
 Размер файла  360.75 KB Размер файла Full text

The article analyzes issues related to the institutionalization of support population points as a new spatial priority of the state policy for the socioeconomic development of the Russian Federation. It has been shown that the Strategy for Russia’s Spatial Development until 2030 with a perspective until 2036, published in 2024 maintains continuity with the 2019 Strategy while also defining new approaches to solving the problem of socio-economic differentiation of the country’s territories. The author assumes that the institutionalization of reference settlements, involves both the formation of a set of conditions that create a favorable institutional environment for them to perform the functions and priorities for which they were introduced, and the provision of a unified institutional framework for spatial development of Russia. It is considered the issue of inevitable interconnectedness of support population points and municipalities and the resulting need to ensure complementarity in reforming the institutional framework for spatial development in our country to ensure a synergistic effect in the functioning of the two named institutions.

Keywords: spatial development, institutionalization, institutional complementarity, support population points, spatial development priorities, local self-government, municipalities, federal relations.

PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP AS A TOOL FOR ENSURING ECONOMIC SECURITY IN THE ARCTIC ZONE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Размер файла77-95  
 Размер файла  521.86 KB Размер файла Full text

The growth of economic activity in the Arctic region and the increasing competition for its resources necessitate the development of an effective system for ensuring the economic security of the Russian Federation. This strategically important region is rich in natural resources and forms the foundation for Russia’s economic sovereignty. However, the development of its infrastructure requires substantial investments, sound management decisions, advanced technologies, and systematic risk management. The article argues for the need to use public-private partnerships as a tool for ensuring economic security in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. A new theoretical and methodological approach to assessing and monitoring the level of economic security at various stages of the life cycle of infrastructure facilities in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation is proposed.

Keywords: public-private partnership, economic security, Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, life cycle, infrastructure, monitoring, sovereignty.
