В настоящее время решение задачи сбалансированного социального развития регионов затруднено в связи с отсутствием общепризнанного подхода к трансформации системы финансирования социальной сферы. Это обусловлено как многогранностью самой социальной сферы, так и существующими ресурсными ограничениями. Целью исследования является выявление приоритетных факторов, определяющих вектор трансформационных процессов в институциональной среде финансовой модели сбалансированного развития социальной сферы региона. На основании анализа показателей социального развития областей Центрального федерального округа и параметров его финансового обеспечения определено проблемное поле, обусловленное слабой качественной составляющей институциональной среды финансирования социальной сферы. Это выражается в расхождении целевых ориентиров и фактических показателей государственных программ, недостаточном использовании потенциала государственно-частного партнерства, низкой ориентации частного бизнеса на решение социальных задач. Результаты расчетов показали, что основной проблемой является низкая доля инвестиционного финансирования социальной сферы (около 8 %). В результате эконометрического анализа выявлено, что наиболее существенными факторами, определяющими степень сбалансированности развития социальной сферы региона, являются уровень бюджетного и инвестиционного финансирования жилищно-коммунального хозяйства, образования и здравоохранения. Кластерный анализ, выполненный по уровню достигнутого социального эффекта и комплексности применяемого финансового инструментария, показал, что степень сбалансированности и эффективности применяемой финансовой модели развития социальной сферы областей Центрального федерального округа разная. Наиболее эффективный и оптимально сбалансированный финансовый механизм развития социальной сферы наблюдается в Белгородской, Брянской, Воронежской и Ивановской областях. Низкоэффективный и плохо сбалансированный — во Владимирской, Калужской, Тамбовской и Тульской областях. Для каждой из сформированных региональных кластерных групп возможно реализовать свой сценарий социального развития, что и целесообразно использовать региональным органам государственной власти при разработке основных положений социальной политики.

This article is devoted to the development of a standard model of the life cycle of a knowledge-intensive project at oil and gas enterprises in order to obtain accurate forecasts of project deadlines. The relevance of the work lies in improving the accuracy of the forecast models used by oil and gas enterprises in project management and the corresponding increase in competitive advantages by reducing the risks of project deadline failures. The study analyzed the main stages of the life cycle of knowledge-intensive projects and the specifics of each stage. To develop a standard model, a system-dynamic approach was chosen to visualize cause-and-effect relationships between the variables of the system state and to describe these relationships in the form of structured functional dependencies. The results of the study present a standard system-dynamic model of the life cycle of a knowledge-intensive project in the oil and gas industry, containing the main stages of project implementation from the process of requirements analysis to the implementation and support of project results. The stages of passing the audit review are reflected in the model as auxiliary processes. The model can be used to estimate the project execution time depending on the established values of the influencing parameters at the enterprise under study, for the purpose of making management decisions in project management. The prospects of the study are the introduction of an accounting of the occurrence of investment risks into the model, as well as the possibility of a quantitative assessment of their occurrence.

Purpose ― This study examines the externalities of CO2 emissions from solid fuel consumption on rice production in Pakistan using time series data from 1984 to 2021. Methods ― The independent variables include CO2 emissions from solid fuel consumption, cultivated area, agricultural equipment, tube wells, and improved seed, whereas the dependent variable is rice production. A robust analysis was done by altering the solid fuel CO2 emissions proxy. The empirical study used the vector error correction model and Johansen's cointegration test. Findings ― Solid fuel CO2 emissions negatively and significantly impact rice production, implying that solid fuel CO2 emissions decrease rice production. Tube wells have a negative and significant influence on rice production. Conversely, cropped land, agricultural machinery, and improved seeds boosted rice production. The results remained robust even when the proxy for solid fuel CO2 emissions was changed. Implications ― The study recommends developing regulations to limit solid fuel CO2 emissions to prevent environmental degradation and increase rice production. To boost rice production, more land should be farmed, agricultural machinery should be employed, and improved seeds should be used. Originality ― This study is the first to examine the impact of CO2 emissions from solid fuel consumption on rice production in Pakistan

Introduction. The relevance of the considered scientific problem is that souvenir products are a component of the communicative paradigm of territorial branding, and a souvenir itself acts as a visual carrier of identification of a tourist region. A regional souvenir product has the following specific features: geographical reference to the territory reflecting its peculiarities, cultural and historical traditions in manufacturing and positioning. Consumers’ perception of souvenirs plays an important role in forming impressions about the region. Despite the availability of researches on this topic, the question remains unexplored to what extent the perception of souvenir products forms the basis for their choice. At the same time, to find answers it is essential to use an integrated approach to obtaining the information of interest to us for a comprehensive objective coverage of the issues of territorial branding and the elements of its components, based on the use of both verbal and experimental methods. Thus, the purpose of this article was to study the verbal and non-verbal consumer perception of regional souvenir products to assess the possibilities of its use in the process of commodity positioning and promotion of the Republic of Crimea. Materials and Methods. To examine the visual perception of autochthonous souvenirs, an experimental study of consumer perception based on neuromarketing methods was conducted. The work was carried out on the materials of the Republic of Crimea. The research data were an array of biometric data obtained during experiments, proprietary algorithms and analysis models were applied. Results. The verbal and nonverbal consumer perceptions of souvenir products have been studied. It is shown that the most popular souvenirs are sweets, cosmetics, essential oils and wine. These products emphasize the authenticity of origin and contribute to the commodity positioning of administrative-territorial units. There is an unevenness in the development of souvenir production in the Republic of Crimea. The classification of districts has been carried out, administrative-territorial units with high and medium levels of diversification of goods have been identified, as well as depressed territories that are poorly positioned. Promising models of promotion of regional souvenir products are shown. Discussion and Conclusion. The theoretical and applied aspects of the study of the visual attractiveness asymmetry of souvenirs have been improved. The paper also presents the author’s position on the relevance of the promotion of souvenir branding in regional tourist destinations. As a result of a comprehensive neuromarketing experiment, the most attractive Crimean souvenir products from the consumers’ point of view were determined based on the assessment of the figurative identification of territories by respondents and the correlation of gender characteristics with the choice of souvenirs offered. The results of the study can be used to improve and adjust the process of cooperation between souvenir producers, tourism entities and the state, as the most interested entity in the development of tourist destinations.

Integration processes in the Eurasian space are ambiguously assess both by officials and an expert community of the member countries. Thus, there is still a discussion in Kazakhstan and various narratives are being formed concerning the expediency of the country’s presence in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), the advantages and challenges associated with this participation. The article deals with the main narratives that are presenting in Kazakhstan and describing the integration processes within the EAEU — official and expert (both critical about the EAEU and supporting Eurasian integration). The analysis conducted in the article is based on the understanding of the narrative as a “statement-result”, defined by its structure (coherence between key concepts). The article shows that all narratives about the EAEU, present in the Kazakhstani discourse, have a similar structure, formed by the concepts of “independence”, “integration”, “politics” and “economics”. The differences between the narratives are determined by the emphasis on either the “independencepolitics” or “integration-economics” constellations (linkages), and the proposed format of regionalization of Kazakhstan within Central Asia or Eurasia.

The monograph examines the issues of studying the problems of formation, functioning and development of the single economic space of Russia and the trends of integration of the national economies of the CIS, the EAEU in the common economic space. The influence of the development of spatial economy and the processes of economic integration on the economic growth of the country is studied. In the first section, the problems of ap-plying the evolutionary-institutional approach to the problems of modern economic theory, spatial development, integration, economic growth and the practice of market transformations in the national economic system of Russia are considered. The second section contains the basics of the theory of spatial economics in three parts, the provisions on the economic space, its functions and properties are developed; the essence and distinctive features of the category "single economic space" and "common economic space" are clarified. For the first time in the literature, the quality parameters of the single economic space are determined, the essence and signifi-cance of the institutional environment in the formation of the economic space are revealed. The third and fourth sections contain an assessment of the processes of economic integration, and its impact on economic growth in Russia and in the EAEU countries is investigated. For the first time in the economic literature, individual factors of economic growth are comprehensively investigated, their assessment is given using a mathematical appa-ratus and their influence on the final indicators of the national economy is disclosed. Of particular interest is the research, which suggests possible applied models for building economic growth, both for Russia and for each of the EAEU countries. Rich in significant factual material, the work will be useful for practitioners engaged in state economic work, managers and specialists of public administration and corporate management, teachers, doc-toral students, postgraduates, students, as well as for the development of training courses, training and meth-odological manuals in the disciplines of "Political Science", "Macroeconomics", "Regional Economic Integration" and "Allocation of productive forces".

Promoting Border Dialogue During Times of Uncertainty: A Time for Third Spaces is the product of years of investigations and publications focusing on the importance of dialogic processes in the fields of education, cultural work, economics, and politics. Recent, pivotal events reinforce the need for reimagining, reconceptualizing, redesigning, and reconstructing educational and governmental institutions. Hope for the amelioration of racial-, ethnic-, class-, religion- and gender-based conflicts resides in the implementation of effective dialogue. Dialogue must cross borders, internally and externally. Border crossings, not limited to geographic or political, are requisite for understandings of the current local, regional, national, transnational, and global conditions. Recent events make necessary a critical border praxis, which includes the creation of third spaces. Current conditions in the US and worldwide add to the urgency of addressing and responding to existential issues confronting educational institutions, societies, economies, and governments at all levels.

Recent decades have witnessed increasing interest in the concept of the circular economy within both the business world and political circles. The circular economy spans the entire life cycle of products from product design through production, marketing, and consumption, to waste management, recycling, and re-use, and enthusiasm for putting the concept into practice has been identified across different sectors of the economy. This exploratory case study reviews how some of the leading companies in the paper and retail industries, have publicly addressed the circular economy. The case study outlines the nature of the circular economy, provides a cameo literature review of published work on the circular economy, describes the approach adopted for the case study, reports the findings of the review of how the leading companies in the paper and retail industries have addressed the circular economy, and discusses some wider issues.

ABSTRACT Wang, N.N., 2020. Analysis of influence factors of China-ASEAN economic cooperation: A perspective of economic coupling. In: Qiu, Y.; Zhu, H., and Fang, X. (eds.), Current Advancements in Marine and Coastal Research for Technological and Sociological Applications. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 107, pp. 388-392. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. The study of economic coupling between two regions is a hot topic in regional economics, and also a hot topic in the field of international trade. The evaluation index of economic coupling between the two places is the core and key to study this problem, and is also the major indicator related to the scientific of the evaluation results. This paper takes the economic coupling between Beihai of China and Haiphong of Vietnam as the research object, constructs the multiple regression equation of the economic coupling between the two places by using the multiple linear regression method, and gives the correlation coefficient analysis and the statistical test of the regression model based on SPSS software. Empirical research finds that the coordination degree of per capita GDP, output value of the third industry and per capita green space area are the important indicators that affect the economic coupling of the two places.

The private sector plays a crucial role in the economy. This paper constructs an empirical model for the sector in Saudi Arabia. It incorporates oil price uncertainty as well as stock market returns volatility to predict the sector. It estimates the GARCH (generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity) and ARDL (autoregressive distributed lag) models. Findings/Originality: Our estimations show significant evidence of a long-run relationship between private investment, oil price, and the stock market. We also find that the stock market index has a significant positive effect on private investment in the short run. The effects are strong in the case of unexpected news from the oil sector. Oil price uncertainty can be considered as a channel of transmission of negative shocks on the private sector. For these reasons, when Saudi Arabia has launched its 2030 vision, it announced that one of its goals is to become a non-oil dependent country.

In the contemporary world, the anthropogenic effect is increasing. At the same time, the quality of life of the population is strongly associated with the environmental quality, as there is growing understanding that rising economic income does not ensure the humanity’s well-being. In this regard, issues connected with analysing the influence of the anthropogenic factor on changes in the quality of the life of the population become relevant. We believe that existing approaches to assessing the quality of life poorly reflect the current situation related to the speed of the environmental changes due to an increase in the scale and intensity of its pollution. Therefore, for assessing the quality of life, we suggest taking into account the environmental and energy components of the anthropogenic factor. To this end, the classification of anthropogenic factors is supplemented by the “industrial production” group, distinguished by the “source of impact” indicator, which allows analysing the group’s influence on changing parameters of the quality of life of the population. The methodological basis of the study is a comprehensive approach to assessing the quality of life. Based on it, we structured the stages of the evolution of approaches to measuring and assessing the quality of life of the population. Moreover, we described key features of these approaches, and identified the fourth stage that substantiates the priority of environmental and energy criteria in assessing the quality of life. We propose to improve the methodology for assessing the quality of life of the population by introducing additional environmental and energy characteristics. The article presents the results of using this improved methodology. We tested it on the examples of the Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk regions. The obtained values of the integral indicators of the quality of life of the population show that the Sverdlovsk region has lower index values. That happened due to a more developed industrial sector and, as a result, the more deteriorated environmental situation. The proposed methodology for assessing the quality of life of the population can be used by regional leaders for making decisions related to the regional development aimed at improving the quality of life of the population.

This study examines the spatial association between science- and technology-related entrepreneurship and neighbourhood walkability in eastern Nebraska, often referred to as the northern ‘Silicon Prairie’. Tech start-up firms are expected to gravitate toward more walkable or pedestrian-oriented urban locations to benefit from heightened social interaction, knowledge spillovers and a more vibrant, creative atmosphere. Data on start-up firms collected from the online database Crunchbase.com and a walkability index provided by the popular online service Walk Score® were used to evaluate the walkability–tech entrepreneurship nexus. The spatial relationship between walkability and firm location may have important implications for metropolitan areas seeking to incubate new firms and industries in situ, and potentially become leaders in new, innovative industries.

Article’s aim is the critical analysis of the literature and case study of the knowledge transfer issue into Opolskie Voivodship by foreign investment of the hi-tech sector. To illustrate such undertaken problem the role and a place of knowledge transfer and high technologies sector as the factor having an impact on development of the region was discussed. Enterprises — foreign investors — are the source of the knowledge for human capital of the region, and because of that for enterprises of the region. There also will be pointed the practical example from Opolskie Voivodship, at the base of knowledge transfer by hi-tech enterprise into Opolskie Voivodship. After such stated analysis it is possible to state that foreign investment of hi-tech sector and knowledge transfer to region being their consequence, constitute actual field of scientific interests. As the pro-innovative action it is simultaneously the field of the mutual cooperation of hi-tech sector and regional economy. Interactions of these subjects are important not only from the point of view of mutual benefits, such as knowledge transfer by the side of regional economy and economic benefits, including those connected to regional human capital, by the side of hi-tech sector. Thus foreign investment of that sector can be pointed as the source of innovation, know-how and knowledge transfer, but also as the engines of social and economic changes in the region.

Malaysia is an important coffee export destination for Indonesia. Recently Vietnam shifts Indonesian position as a number one coffee exporter in Malaysia. Based on this background, this study compares the position of Indonesian and Vietnamese coffee in the eyes of Malaysians by using demand function. The data is time series and co-integration test should be applied. Co-integration test is using Bound Test in ARDL method. Indonesian coffee demand by Malaysians is co-integrated, whereas the demand for Vietnamese coffee by Malaysia does not contain co-integration. It means, Vietnamese coffee is not a serious competitor to Indonesian coffee in Malaysian market.

ASEAN and the Eurasian Economic Union as regional integration blocks may be viewed as two opposite poles in terms of their accessibility to coastal regions. On the one hand, the Eurasian Economic Union is a unique integration arrangement, in which all member countries, apart from the Russian Federation, are landlocked. On the other hand, ASEAN may be termed as one of the most “oceanic” integration blocks in the world as out of its 10 members only Laos is landlocked, while out of the 50 largest container ports in the world eight are located in ASEAN countries, with Singapore being second on the overall world rankings. Such divergence in terms of geo-economics and accessibility to the seashores between ASEAN and the Eurasian Economic Union should be considered not as a barrier to cooperation, but rather a complementarity factor that may reinforce the potential benefits from economic integration between these two groups. In particular, for ASEAN an alliance with the Eurasian Economic Union opens up a possibility for deeper penetration into a relatively secluded continental region. On the other hand, an alliance with ASEAN enables the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union to overcome continental barriers and use the alliances with ASEAN companies as a platform for integration into the global economy, for gaining access to a fast-growing Asian market and for optimizing transportation costs. The geographical factor in relations between ASEAN and the Eurasian Economic Union argues in favor of creating a competitive transportation system that serves to intermediate trade flows between Southeast Asia and Europe. As a result, the ASEAN-Eurasian Economic Union alliance may be considered as a “hybrid” oceanic-continental alliance, in which the synergy of integration is derived not solely from trade and investment effects, but also from the transportation/logistical complementarity in the Eurasian geoeconomic space. The formation of an alliance between the two very different blocks in terms of their geoeconomics – the Eurasian Economic Union as a continental and ASEAN as an oceanic alliance – may provide important synergy for both blocks in terms of realization of their economic potential.
