<p>The population of Indonesia from year to year has increased. The increase in population must also be accompanied by increased economic growth in Indonesia. The increase in economic growth in Indonesia is marked by the reduction in the number of poor people in Indonesia. In addition, the increase in economic growth is reflected in the equitable distribution of public income in the country. Even though there are still many Indonesian people who are not yet prosperous in economic terms. To overcome, it is necessary to have clustering and characteristics of 34 provinces in Indonesia by implementing the Modification Maximum Standard Deviation Reduction (MMSDR) graph clustering algorithm. The data used are indicators of public welfare in 2017 obtained from the Central Statistics Agency. There are 9 indicators of community welfare used in this research. There are four stages in the MMSDR algorithm namely the "MST", "Subdivide", "Biggest Stepping" and "Create Clusters" processes. The results of this study can be seen from the distance between the nodes or between one province and another province produced 22 clusters. From the cluster results obtained using the MMSDR algorithm on welfare data, there are many clusters formed with cluster members formed at most two nodes (province).</p><p> Keywords: MMSDR, Clustering, Welfare of People</p>

This paper explores the potential of the sharing economy and the impact of current transformations in the sphere of shared consumption on economic growth and general welfare. The aim of the paper is to test the hypothesis about the possible negative impact of the sharing economy on economic growth and public welfare despite the growth in individual welfare. The study relies on the theory of economic growth, empirical evidence and expert assessments of the impact of the sharing economy on public welfare and economic growth. Expert and statistical data from the World Bank Group, World Economic Forum, RAEC, RBC, etc. on the development of this sector in Russia and in the world are cited; individual cases and examples are discussed. The conclusion is made that the prospects of development of the sharing economy and its impact on economic development, growth and general welfare significantly depend on the effectiveness of local regulation. The traditional methodology of economic growth accounting related to the ownership of newly created value should be reconsidered. This paper may be useful for further research on the sharing economy and public welfare in the digital and circular economy.

The relevant scientific problems include characterizing different models of public order in the context of divergence of economic development; deepening the understanding of public welfare as a measure to meet the needs and results of public policy; assessment of the cognitive and practical potential of modern concepts of historical and institutional explanation of the differentiation of the world economy for the optimization of regulatory measures of economic policy in Ukraine. The purpose of this article is to determine the features of the relationship between the nature of institutions, in particular institutional models of public order, on the one hand, and economic development and social welfare on the other. The research methodology combines the tools of evolutionary economic theory, comparative analysis and institutional history. The theoretical basis is the idea of D. North on the types of institutional models of public order. Despite the historical and national features of the formation and functioning of different economic systems, their success and failure can be explained on the basis of typology of North's models. The open access model is more conducive to economic growth and social welfare. Ensuring the institutional conditions for the realization of human rights, economic freedom and legal protection contributes to higher results. Instead, the restricted access model is characterized by slow economic growth and vulnerability to challenges, low level of social consolidation and economic solidarity, dominance of hierarchical ties and insecurity of property rights. It has been proven that institutional changes aimed at increasing public welfare should ensure the transformation of the economic model towards greater availability of resources and opportunities, replacing extractive relations and vertical relations with partnerships and horizontal relations. Economic policy analysis and evaluation is an important component of successful institutional transformations.

Nowadays, in the global economy, the sector of financial services is an important mechanism to secure competitiveness. In the first place, it performs the functions of monetary provisions; in the second place, it mobilizes and transforms spare savings into investment resources for extended economic reproduction. Yet, the socio-economic and geopolitical instability in Ukraine has caused a decline in the development of its financial sector, which is confirmed by the rating downgrade of Ukraine in a range of international economic rankings. The purpose of the paper is to provide a complex research of the capacity of the sector of financial services in securing the socio-economic growth of Ukrainian regions. In order to achieve the goal, general and specific research methods were used, including structural and functional, regression-based, factor and system analysis methods of comparison and synthesis. MS Excel was used to visualize and interpret data. The efficiency of the use of the capacity of the sector of financial services in securing the socio-economic growth of regions is evaluated based on the calculation of the related index as an arithmetic average of standardized output parameters that characterize the development of the sector of financial services and socio-economic development of regions. The research has contributed to 1) establishing a high variability of the index of the efficiency of the capacity of the sector of financial services caused by the unequal spatial distribution of the companies in the analyzed sector; 2) verifying a high sensitivity of the sector of financial services to macroeconomic imbalances, fluctuations on global financial and monetary markets, and domestic political crises confirmed by a slight impact of the sector capacity on the pace of gross regional product (GRP) change in Ukrainian regions and the gross valued added (GVA) change in the services sector of the regions; 3) stating a direct correlation between the volume of services provided by financial sector companies and financial solvency of consumers (i.e. residents and businesses), and a direct correlation between the intensity of change in the capacity of the sector of financial services in order to secure the socio-economic growth of regions and employment change in the regions. The fact that a high level of shadow activity is an essential threat to the efficient use of the capacity of the sector of financial services in order to secure the socio-economic growth of Ukrainian regions is emphasized. Unequal spatial distribution of companies within the sector of financial services, imbalance in spatial development of adjoining economy sectors, and credit activity of businesses and population have caused a high variability of the index of the efficiency of the use of the capacity of the sector of financial services in terms of the socio-economic growth in Ukrainian regions. The financial sector of Ukraine is characterized by high sensitivity to fluctuations on domestic and foreign financial and exchange markets that are especially relevant nowadays in view of the coronavirus pandemic. Therefore, forming a comprehensive roadmap activating the mechanisms to improve economic activities in the financial and adjoining markets should be the primary task for public and regional authorities.

The problem of assessing the effects of infrastructure projects for territories is debatable. Modeling experience has been accumulated today, and elaborated macroeconomic models allow to identify causal relationships between the indicators of transport development and economic growth. The goal of this article is to define a simulation model of assessing the impact of transport projects on the economic growth of Krasnodar Krai exemplified by the Crimean Bridge project. The solution of this scientific problem requires taking into account different factors and complicated interrelationships within the framework of the regional social and economic system under consideration, using methods of system analysis and tools of economic and mathematical simulation. The simulation model reflects the scenario parameters of the capital management policy, highway transport freight turnover, highway transport freight turnover directly connected with the construction of Kerch Straight Bridge, carriage of goods by railway transport, carriage of goods by railway transport directly connected with the construction of Kerch Straight Bridge. The interrelations of this model’s parameters are established by the econometrics methods. In accordance with the produced scenarios the expected median values of the additional increment of the Krasnodar Krai GRP due to the increment of transportation associated with the Crimean Bridge operation are in the range between 0.97 % and 1.1 %. The most conservative scenario presumes the median value of 0.97 % and lower limit of 0.8 %. This tool can be used to assess the direct effect of railway and road construction for other Russian regions. The proposed simulation model will be further expanded by including further distribution functions of scenario variables and additional structural relationships.
