The paper aims at analyzing the impact of tourism on the economic growth in Ukraine considering its global significance and dynamic development. Tourism should be considered not as a separate phenomenon, but as a complex socio-economic-ecological system, i.e. the national tourism system (NTS). The study attempts to reveal the nature and determinants of the national tourism system impact on economic growth, and also empirically substantiates this in the Ukrainian context. Since the economic decisions require a huge amount of information and different models, a multivariate least square model has been proposed to determine the causal links between NTS and economic growth. The paper also presents the economic parameters such as Ukrainian GDP as a dependent variable, volume of domestic tourism consumption, income from international passenger carriage, international tourism expenditures in the country, the volume of services provided in temporary accommodation and catering establishments, and country’s income from NTS as independent variables. The paper is based on the 2000–2017 statistical data. It concludes that the increase of total NTS contribution to GDP is influenced by all considered factors except the international tourism expenditures in the country. A proposed econometric factor analysis model can be used as a tool to analyze and forecast the socio-economic NTS processes. The hypothesis of the NTS`s impact on economic growth is substantiated.
The object of research is the methodology for assessing the level of economic security of the state from the standpoint of analyzing its foreign trade. The perception of the economic security of countries is not yet unambiguous; it is important to study the theoretical foundations of economic security. In the works of the predecessors, the hierarchy of the concept of economic security was determined and the concept of the economic security of the state was proposed. But most research is not comprehensive enough. The components of the country's economic security are determined through three groups of risks, but such a division does not take into account most of the threats and is not sufficiently detailed and comprehensive. In the scientific works of economists, the methodology, level, indicators are presented as separate aspects of the formation and management of the economic security of the state. Without denying the significant contribution of these developments, the study noted the lack of a unified methodology for assessing the level of economic security of the country. Accordingly, this study was aimed at presenting a conceptual approach to the methodology for assessing the level of economic security of the country, based on the study of international trade and the main statistical indicators of the economy. The study of the level of economic security of the country is based on the use of indicators built on indicators of the state of the country's economy and its international trade. The paper studies the dynamics of the main socio-economic indicators of the development of the economies of the associated trio of countries: Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. And also the state of economic security of countries and prospects for further development are determined. It has been established that Ukraine in the pre-war period had a better level of economic security than Georgia and Moldova.
The modern system of relations between countries is being transformed with the spread of digitalization. Accordingly, there is a need to study the practical aspects of digitalization of trade as a major component of international relations. Therefore, this study aims to determine the impact of digitalization processes on the performance and economic security of trade. The main directions for the development of digitalization in trade were determined and the influence of digital technologies on the economic security of trade entities (enterprises) was investigated. The main components of the economic security of trade enterprises were identified. The main difficulties in the development of the digital economy were highlighted. The main directions for the development of digitalization of trade enterprises were determined. The list of factors that most influence the formation of trade turnover was substantiated: income of the population, number of trade workers, inventories, producer price indices, digital technologies (telecommunications, data processing, etc.). Methods of economic statistics (statistical observation, dynamic and structural analysis) were used to test the hypothesis of the relationship between informatization and economic security of trade enterprises. Methods of correlation and regression analysis were used to study the strength of the relationship between the volume of turnover and the factors that determine it. Based on the modeling, a statistically significant relationship was identified between the indicators of the volume of information and related services and trade volumes, which confirms the dependence of the economic security of trade enterprises on digitalization. The proposal to supplement the already existing methodology for assessing the economic security of the trade enterprise with indicators reflecting the impact of digital technologies was justified. The results of the study can be useful for adapting strategies for the development of trade enterprises in the context of the global digital ecosystem.
The economic security of any company depends on its solvency and financial stability. It is also affected by uneven economic development due to the global financial crises, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, increased competition from industrial and commercial companies, and military conflicts. Thus, it is necessary to assess the stability of companies as a basis for their economic security, taking into account the indicators of solvency and financial stability. The paper used systematization, comparative analysis, ranking, expert interview (in-depth interview), and Fishburne’s method. First, the scheme of ensuring the financial stability and solvency of production and trading companies is proposed. Second, the evaluation indicators system is developed, and the rating scale of stability of production and trading companies is determined. According to the results, evaluation indicators were formed; some were calculated according to companies’ financial statements and management accounting. Finally, to increase the efficiency of technical and economic parameters, areas for regulating the activities of companies and ensuring their stability were identified. According to an in-depth interview with experts, the sampled company received 69 points and corresponded to a sufficient level of stability. Factors that negatively affected the stability of companies’ activities include quality indicators, namely compliance with standards, company image, digitalization, compliance with corporate culture, and personnel management policy.
The processes of globalization and integration pose new challenges to the economy of any country, in particular, the issues of assessing and stimulating the innovative activity of enterprises in the context of constant transformation arise. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to substantiate the methodology for assessing the safety of the country's innovative environment, based on stimulating the innovative activity of enterprises in the context of European integration. The result of the study is the formation of methods for calculating the relative indicator of the country's innovativeness and the general indicator of the safety of the innovative environment, which can be used in the future to assess the potential of other countries, they can serve as the basis for making decisions by foreign investors regarding investments in innovative projects. The advantages of using this methodology are taking into account the main factors of influence and conditions on the innovative activity of a particular country, and the simplicity of calculations. As a research result, an assessment of the innovative activity of enterprises in the studied country in the context of European integration was obtained. To do this, first, the calculation of the relative innovation index was justified and performed. The advantage of this index is the visibility and greater accuracy in determining the place of the country, the level of innovativeness of the activities of its enterprises. Justification and recommendations for cooperation with the EU are facilitated by an analysis of the peculiarities of commodity trade with the EU, a detailed analysis of the country's environmental conditions for innovative activities of enterprises using statistical indicators that are easy to find in the public domain. The compilation of a methodology for assessing the state of security of the innovation environment was facilitated by a detailed analysis of the dynamics of GDP and the factors contributing to innovative development, which adds validity to the research results and demonstrates the ease of calculations. The proposed methodology has been tested and can be used to assess the potential of other countries seeking to integrate into the European space
