This article aims to verify the hypothesis that creativity is an important factor for socio-economic development of Polish regions. The first part of the paper clarifies the idea of regional creativity, its factors and method of measurement. Following two parts present meth­odology and results of the research concerning creativity and development which uses multi­variate comparative analysis. The next one examines relationship between these phenomena. The research revealed that there is strong correlation between the level of creativity and socio-economic development of regions in Poland. In addition, there are large disparities in the level of creativity of these regions. It may be one of the reasons for persistence and even deepening of interregional differences in the level and dynamics of socio-economic development of these regions in the future.

The urgency of researching the problems of the Russian economy is beyond doubt. It is determined by the scale and complexity of the tasks set by President V. Putin in 7the May 2018 decree. The purpose of the study is to study the current problems of the Russian economy and, on this basis, offer recommendations for their elimination in order to achieve the indicators indicated by the head of state and above all enter the TOP-5 largest economies of the world. The main objectives of the study were: 1. To identify the main problems of the Russian economy. 2. To analyze the current shortcomings policy. 3. To show the conditions under which the economy can develop at a pace. When studying the main issues of the topic, the authors use the following methods: dialectic, system-functional, economic-statistical, and formal-logical methods; the method of comparative analysis was used by the authors for comparison with the economies of other countries, for example, with the economy of China. In this article, the authors attempted to analyze the main current problems of the Russian economy in order to show which “baggage” should be eliminated in the near future, which priority tasks should be solved in order to make a planned breakthrough in socio-economic development and get into the TOP-5 largest economies in the world.

Statistical methods for comparing objects allow them to study taking into account several features simultaneously, thereby increasing the efficiency of testing. It can be concluded that the methods of multidimensional comparative data analysis can provide specific research instruments of local development. The article presents the proposal to apply to study the level of development of gminas in the Mazowieckie Voivodship two methods of multidimensional comparative analysis, ie. indicator of the relative level of development as well as a synthetic measure which takes into account the zero unitarisation method. The assessment of the development level of gminas was carried out using quantitative characteristics based on data from the official statistics for the years 2007 and 2013.

Abstract Infrastructure provides the fundamental basis for socio-economic development of any country. It acts as the backbone of an economy. Regional disparities in infrastructural development naturally result in uneven development. Infrastructural development has greater significance in less developed areas due to their various inherent deficiencies and imbalances. With regard to this, status of the basic sectors of the infrastructure of South 24 Parganas district of West Bengal, India has been discussed in this article. This is a less developed area. Comparative analysis on infrastructural achievements at sub-district level has also been made. The study not only points towards the lack of uniform infrastructural development over the entire region, but also towards a tendency for concentration of such growth process in those areas of the district which lie in close proximity to the metropolis of Kolkata.

Purpose: The aim of the article is to show the modified method of calculating the economic potential on the example of territorial units of the Upper Silesian Metropolis. Design/methodology/approach: Economic potential is a measure of a region's strength compared to other regions. In economics, potential is a substitute for socio-economic development. The methodology of calculating the modified economic potential of territorial units was discussed in the first part of the article, and an empirical example is presented in the second part. Findings: As a result of the research, strong regions were identified and the self-potential of the regions and their surroundings were compared. Research limitations/implications: The proposed modified method of potentials can be used for a comparative analysis of any territorial units. The metric that is used to measure the distance between territorial units is important. Practical implications: On the basis of the presented method, any regions or countries can be compared in terms of socio-economic development. Social implications: The method makes it possible to compare the socio-economic development of regions in terms of income and population. Originality/value: The article compares selected communes of the Silesian Voivodeship in terms of income, population and socio-economic development. A modified measure of economic potential was used

 Issues of ensuring the financial stability of enterprises are extremely important for the socio-economic development of Ukraine. Stable operation of the enterprise is possible only if the appropriate level of solvency of the enterprise. That is why the issues and problems related to ensuring solvency are given much attention in the scientific works of scientists from both foreign and domestic scientific schools. At the same time, insufficient attention is paid to long-term solvency as an important component of the system of ensuring the stable functioning and development of the enterprise in the future. The task of the study is to analyze the approaches of scientists to the interpretation of the essence of prospective solvency and its role in ensuring the stable operation of the enterprise, determining the characteristic causes of its decline in modern socio-economic development of Ukraine; development of a proposal to ensure the solvency of the enterprise in the future. In the process of research general and special methods were used: analysis and synthesis, method of comparison, generalization, statistical, etc. The article considers the essence of perspective solvency of the enterprise and its role in ensuring stable functioning of the enterprise. The factors that determine it are systematized. The conceptual model of providing perspective solvency of the enterprise for the purpose of stable functioning and development of the enterprise which provides: definition of system of the corresponding indicators of perspective solvency for their constant monitoring is offered; finding out the possible reasons, which may result in loss of prospective solvency; the sequence of implementation of the necessary measures for its restoration and provision in the future. The results of this study can be used in the process of enterprise management to determine the real state of its solvency and develop measures to ensure it in the medium and long term.

Abstract. The Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra (IGB) river basins provide about 900 million people with water resources used for agricultural, domestic, and industrial purposes. These river basins are marked as climate change hotspot, where climate change is expected to affect monsoon dynamics and the amount of meltwater from snow and ice, and thus the amount of water available. Simultaneously, rapid and continuous population growth, and strong economic development will likely result in a rapid increase in water demand. Since quantification of these future trends is missing, it is rather uncertain how the future South Asian water gap will develop. To this end, we assess the combined impacts of climate change and socio-economic development on future blue water scarcity for the IGB until the end of the 21st century. We apply a coupled modelling approach consisting of the distributed cryospheric-hydrological model SPHY, which simulates current and future upstream water supply, and the hydrology and crop production model LPJmL, which simulates current and future downstream water supply and demand. We force the models with an ensemble of eight representative downscaled General Circulation Models (GCMs) that are selected from the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios, and a set of land use and socio-economic scenarios that are consistent with the Shared Socio-economic Pathway (SSP) marker scenarios 1 and 3. The simulation outputs are used to analyse changes in water availability, supply, demand, and scarcity. The outcomes show an increase in surface water availability towards the end of the 21st century, which can mainly be attributed to increases in monsoon precipitation. However, despite the increase surface water availability, the strong socio-economic development and associated increase in water demand will likely lead to an increase in the water gap during the 21st century. This indicates that socio-economic development is the key driver in the evolution of the future South Asian water gap.

Abstract. The Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra (IGB) river basins provide about 900 million people with water resources used for agricultural, domestic, and industrial purposes. These river basins are marked as “climate change hotspots”, where climate change is expected to affect monsoon dynamics and the amount of meltwater from snow and ice, and thus the amount of water available. Simultaneously, rapid and continuous population growth as well as strong economic development will likely result in a rapid increase in water demand. Since quantification of these future trends is missing, it is rather uncertain how the future South Asian water gap will develop. To this end, we assess the combined impacts of climate change and socio-economic development on the future “blue” water gap in the IGB until the end of the 21st century. We apply a coupled modelling approach consisting of the distributed cryospheric–hydrological model SPHY, which simulates current and future upstream water supply, and the hydrology and crop production model LPJmL, which simulates current and future downstream water supply and demand. We force the coupled models with an ensemble of eight representative downscaled general circulation models (GCMs) that are selected from the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios, and a set of land use and socio-economic scenarios that are consistent with the shared socio-economic pathway (SSP) marker scenarios 1 and 3. The simulation outputs are used to analyse changes in the water availability, supply, demand, and gap. The outcomes show an increase in surface water availability towards the end of the 21st century, which can mainly be attributed to increases in monsoon precipitation. However, despite the increase in surface water availability, the strong socio-economic development and associated increase in water demand will likely lead to an increase in the water gap during the 21st century. This indicates that socio-economic development is the key driver in the evolution of the future South Asian water gap. The transgression of future environmental flows will likely be limited, with sustained environmental flow requirements during the monsoon season and unmet environmental flow requirements during the low-flow season in the Indus and Ganges river basins.
