Abstract Background Epidemiological burden of modifiable mortality risk factors is recognized in literature; however, less is known on the economic losses due to a range of such risks. Aim To estimate production losses (indirect cost) of mortality associated with risk factors as classified in Global Burden of Disease 2019 Study in Poland in years 2000, 2010, and 2017. Methods We relied on the human capital method and societal perspective and used sex-, age-, region-, and risk-specific data on mortality due to modifiable risk factors and a set of socio-economic measures. Results The production losses due to mortality attributable to all investigated risk factors accounted for 19.6–21.0 billion PLN (Polish zloty; 2017 exchange rate: 1€ = 4.26 PLN) and 1.44–2.45% of gross domestic product, depending on year. Behavioural factors were the most important contributor to overall burden (16.7–18.2 billion PLN), followed by metabolic factors (6.8–7.6 billion PLN) and environmental and occupational factors (3.0–3.5 billion PLN). Of disaggregated risks, alcohol and tobacco, high systolic blood pressure, and dietary risks proved to lead to the highest losses. Cost per death was greatest for child and maternal malnutrition, followed by intimate partner violence and childhood sexual abuse and bullying. Moreover, a notable regional variation of indirect cost was identified with losses ranging from 1.21 to 1.81% of regional gross domestic product in 2017. Conclusion Our findings provide economically hierarchised list of modifiable risk factors and they contribute to inform policy-makers in prioritizing programmes to improve health.

Nos últimos anos, tem aumentado a frequência dos desastres naturais na Amazônia, concomitantemente com a necessidade de estimar os seus prejuízos econômicos. Este trabalho tem como objetivo verificar qual é o tipo e a intensidade do impacto das inundações de 2009, consideradas as maiores já registradas na Amazônia, no crescimento do Produto Interno Bruto (PIB) municipal. A metodologia consistiu na análise de correlação linear entre o desempenho econômico e algumas variáveis referentes ao tipo de inundação e indicadores socioeconômicos. Os resultados mostram que as inundações bruscas são as mais problemáticas em longo prazo. As principais estratégias a serem adotadas perpassam pela inclusão de ações de mitigação de desastres naturais ao planejamento do desenvolvimento sustentável da Amazônia. Palavras-chave: Produto Interno Bruto.

Abstract Aims The aim of this study was to estimate the burden and risk factors for ischaemic heart disease (IHD) in 195 countries and territories from 1990 to 2017. Methods and results Data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 were used. Prevalence, incidence, deaths, years lived with disability (YLDs), and years of life lost (YLLs) were metrics used to measure IHD burden. Population attributable fraction was used to estimate the proportion of IHD deaths attributable to potentially modifiable risk factors. Globally, in 2017, 126.5 million [95% uncertainty interval (UI) 118.6 to 134.7] people lived with IHD and 10.6 million (95% UI 9.6 to 11.8) new IHD cases occurred, resulting in 8.9 million (95% UI 8.8 to 9.1) deaths, 5.3 million (95% UI 3.7 to 7.2) YLDs, and 165.0 million (95% UI 162.2 to 168.6) YLLs. Between 1990 and 2017, despite the decrease in age-standardized rates, the global numbers of these burden metrics of IHD have significantly increased. The burden of IHD in 2017 and its temporal trends from 1990 to 2017 varied widely by geographic location. Among all potentially modifiable risk factors, age-standardized IHD deaths worldwide were primarily attributable to dietary risks, high systolic blood pressure, high LDL cholesterol, high fasting plasma glucose, tobacco use, and high body mass index in 2017. Conclusion Our results suggested that IHD remains a major public health challenge worldwide. More effective and targeted strategies aimed at implementing cost-effective interventions and addressing modifiable risk factors are urgently needed, particularly in geographies with high or increasing burden.

Predictably, the fall in world gross domestic product (GDP) will be at least 4.2% due to restrictive measures in connection with the COVID-19 spread. The global economic crisis has not yet been overcome, and if the second pandemic wave occurs, its consequences can be even more disastrous. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, all countries will suffer, though the GDP reduction will be different, depending on the individual states’ previous economic situation. It seems important to compare different countries` economic losses depending on their economic model. Germany will be considered as a country with a developed economy, Russia and China – as transition economy countries and India – as a developing one. The results of studying such pandemics impact on various countries’ economies can be used in choosing the optimal answer to possible pandemics in the future.

The shadow economy, without a doubt, is one of the leading areas of research in the context of mastering the levers of state regulation of the national economy. In interpreting the shadow economy, the researcher takes into account the resource aspect of its existence, but rather its adaptability and impact on institutional isomorphisms. The article identifies the lack of a unified approach to the interpretation of the economic definition of "shadow economy", which is primarily determined by the complexity and multifaceted nature of this economic concept. Due to the scale of the shadow economy (according to the integrated indicator of the shadow economy in Ukraine, its volume is 30% of gross domestic product), as well as the hidden nature of its functioning as a separate environment of the national economy, the method still has a significant impact on her assessment. In the structure of the shadow economy in modern economic relations is defined and offshore activities as a special type of hidden economy that avoids paying taxes, or is carried out for tax optimization, the formation of industrial competitive advantages and global production chains. For the state, there is pressure on financial security, which is caused by the reduction and erosion of the tax base, the formation of a system of tax rebates, obtaining illegal or illegal benefits, compensation, benefits or subsidies. The importance of this issue is due to the scale of this economic phenomenon, because according to expert estimates in offshore zones and the gray economy revolves about a third of world gross domestic product, and economic losses are quite significant, so the United States loses about $ 450 billion annually. , and Ukraine about 6 billion dollars. The actual combination of such complex processes is of scientific interest.
