“…Local economic performance is significant for the economic development of a country as a whole. The country's economic development occurs at a local level where interactions between economic agents are particularly dense (Manso, De Matos, & Carvalho, 2015). Combination and integrations of related elements at the local levels in specific ways, formulate the processes of new knowledge generation, innovation, collective learning and, eventually, economic performance based on the unique local features (Amin & Thirf, 1993;Ascani, Crescenzi, & Iammarino, 2012;Cooke, Uranga, & Etxebarria, 1998).…”

“…Even though economic development processes are highly localized, not all local places are equally able to prosper in the country and global competitive environment. Some studies suggest that national growth is often led by only a few fast-growing and innovative areas within a country (Ascani et al, 2012;Manso et al, 2015). Knowledge and development activities require a favorable atmosphere to make positive feedback to the applied interactions possible.…”

The country’s economic development usually occurs at a local level where interactions between economic elements are highly dense. Even though economic development processes are highly localized; economic growth in the country is due to concentration in growth in a limited number of locations with unique comparative advantages. Lake zone of Tanzania is one of the potential economic areas in the country with unique natural resources (fisheries and forests) features. This study uses cross-sectional data in the lake zone of Tanzania to determine the impact of the fishery resources (which are highly abundant) and forest resources (which are least abundant) on the local councils’ economic performance, admitting other control variables. Multiple linear Regression analysis results indicate that fishery resources negatively affect the councils’ economic performance, with insignificant economic value. Forest resources in the area have a significant positive impact on the economic performance. This paper concludes that despite the abundant fishery resources in the area, they have an insignificant contribution to the local councils’ economic performance. Moreover, the least forest resources have a very low economic impact on local economic performance. Which therefore indicate the needy of reforming available strategies, policies and legal framework accordingly.

“…The key feature of sustainable development of the region is the investment activity of enterprises, which lies in the area of technology and organization of funds management through the regulatory role of regional authorities in the investment process in the sectors of the economy, and the effectiveness of the state regulation regarding the specific conditions of the reproduction process. The issues of investment development of the region, analysis of its investment environment, allowing to ensure the development of the real sector of the economy are presented in the works of E.

An economic-mathematical model of an integrated assessment of the investment activity of enterprises in the region has been developed. The novelty of the results is determined by the fact that integral indicator is built on the basis of a common base, formed using the characteristics of regional differentiation, derived from theoretically sound models. Оf investments on key economic indicators such as gross regional products, financial results of profitable companies, volume of sales of industrial products, volume of sales of services and volume of sales of innovative products during 2010-2017 is assessed in the article. In order to study the influence of investments on economic development of regions is used a statistical tool of correlation analysis which displays links between factors and results. According to research, the university regression models are built. Results of the studies indicate that capital investments are not a major factor in providing the profitability of enterprises in almost all regions of Ukraine. The typology of the regions of Ukraine according to the level of investment activity of enterprises by cluster analysis methods is carried out/ The advantage of the developed economic-mathematical model of the integrated assessment of investment activity of enterprises in the region is the possibility of its use in order to form a differentiated investment policy.

“…Furthermore, the availability of a well-developed monitoring system would also help agents to optimize their bidding strategies (David and Wen, 2000;Dun-nan et al, 2006;Pires Manso et al, 2015). Currently agents are concentrating on increasing their efficiency in order to maximize profits through a complicated system of product and sales management.…”
