This publication reflects the results of the author’s research on improving the domestic statistical and methodological tools used in the analysis and forecasting of the Russian economy. In this regard, the main features of the formation and application of the Business Activity Index for basic spheres of the economy of the Institute of Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences (hereinafter, the index of business activity) are shown and substantiations of its individual advantages are given in comparison with the index of output of goods and services for the basic types of economic activities of Rosstat (hereinafter, the release of goods and services). The authors provide evidence that despite a number of positive qualities of the applied methodology for constructing the index of output of goods and services, the business activity index, according to the authors of the article, provides a more objective assessment of macroeconomic dynamics, since it includes additional indicators reflecting financial and social aspects of economic development. It is proved that the main advantages of the business activity index are manifested in a more accurate determination of the depth of crisis phenomena in socio-economic development, as well as in determining the timing of the onset and overcoming of these negative processes. The characteristics of the macroeconomic indicators that make up the business activity index are given. Methods for calculating the weights of indicators characterizing the level of business activity in various spheres of the national economy, as well as methods for determining changes in this level are considered. Changes in the dynamics of these weights are analyzed. Ways of more efficient use of business activity indices in the practice of accounting, forecasting and management of socio-economic development are proposed. The conclusion is substantiated that it is advisable to use the business activity index for macroeconomic analysis, forecasting and strategic planning, which will make it possible to more accurately assess the impact of the implementation of national projects and the social package of the message of the President of the Russian Federation on economic growth and increase the efficiency of using business activity tools in the practice of public administration of social economic development of the country.

The article considers the peculiarities and conditions for the implementation of large investment projects and the possibility of forming regional centres for promising economic growth on this basis. The authors have analysed large investment projects aimed at developing the mineral and raw materials sector in the southern regions of the Angara-Yenisei macroregion, and assessed the impact of projects on indicators of socio-economic development of territories. The article shows that the project approach aimed at implementing individual investment projects and creating growth points in the mineral and raw materials sector should be supplemented by measures aimed at developing the territorial infrastructure, stimulating small and medium-sized businesses and improving all aspects of life support for the population

The regions of the Russian Federation function and develop in conditions of instability and uncertainty of the external strategic environment. Therefore, each region tries to develop optimal strategies for its innovation oriented development on the principles of efficiency and minimizing uncertainty (risk). At the same time, it is important not just to form a strategic set of alternatives for the development of the region, but it is important at every moment to know at what stage of development the region is, how close it is to the strategic goal of its development. Analysis of studies on strategic planning and management, shows the lack of a single accepted methodology for assessing the effectiveness of the implementation of regional strategies and general approaches to formation of system of indicators of its assessment. Nevertheless, the majority of researchers agree that it is important to assess not whether the implementation of the developed strategy is carried out correctly or not, but it is important to assess how close the implementation of the innovation oriented strategy is to the goals set for the region. Indicative planning is an important tool for regulating the processes of socio-economic development at the regional level. In modern conditions, the world economy is experiencing an increase in the level of negative impact of various external factors and major challenges to economic actors, including regions. The article substantiates the conceptual scheme of the imitation model of the regional socio-economic system, which takes into account not only the subjects and objects of management, but also the impact of the external environment. A method of increasing the realism of imitation models of the regional innovation oriented socio-economic system is proposed – the use of a random choice of one of the options for adaptation to a given external factor. Within the framework of this model, it is proposed to allocate the following macro-regional blocks (objects of regional management): income, labor, business, ecology, society, prospects, Finance. In this case, the control regulation within the framework of the proposed model is carried out on the basis of an indicative plan, which sets goals, objectives and indicators of regional innovation oriented socio-economic development.

Introduction: the article examines the impact of hybrid organizations on the economic dynamics of Eastern Asian countries. Objectives: to assess the effectiveness of hybrid organizations as intermediate institutions that promote economic development, to describe the transformation of hybrids as they are modernized. Methods: dialectical method, system analysis, case study method, induction method. Results: the positive role of hybrid organizations in catching-up economic development is revealed; it is shown that hybrids serve as intermediate institutions that either transform or hinder economic growth as modernization progresses; possible economic policies to support hybrids are described. Conclusions: hybrid organizations are common in many countries and regions with a predominance of traditional regulators which have managed to reach the development path of developed countries. Thus, hybrids are country specific for the “Asian tigers” – Japan (in the form of keiretsu), South Korea (in the form of chaebols), Taiwan (in the form of clusters) as well as for China (in the form of industrial areas). At the same time, in most cases, hybrid institutional agreements serve as intermediate institutions – relying on existing social ties, they promote economic growth, but as they modernize, they either undergo changes or hinder subsequent development. The analysis of the presented cases also shows that the state can contribute to the formation of hybrids in various ways – from creating infrastructure to supporting the export activities of firms.

The realization of Ukraine's European integration aspirations and integration into globalization processes exacerbate the challenges and threats to the national economy in the segment of protection of social interests and especially in the context of the pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2. This raises several issues aimed at studying the theoretical and methodological, and applied aspects of the formation and development of social security at the level of the state and society, and at the level of the individual. In particular, the paper analyzes the essence and content of the concept of "social security", its types and forms of manifestation. Particular attention in the study is paid to determining the factors influencing the level of social security of the state, including through the prism of interaction on indicators of socio-economic development. A system of principles was defined on which the concept of sustainable economic growth through the prism of social security should be based, namely: the level of socio-economic development of the state, territorial integrity and inviolability of borders, improving the welfare of the population, compliance with state standards and social guarantees in the field of finance, patriotic education, completion of financial and administrative-territorial decentralization, implementation of gender-oriented policy at all levels of government, creation of appropriate working conditions, etc. Based on this, the main indicators that determine the state of social security were analyzed: level of education, level of welfare, the share of the working population, mortality rate, population growth rate, real GDP growth rate, and GDP per capita, etc. According to the results of the analysis, the problems of social security in a pandemic was identified and a set of recommendations aimed at forming a safe and progressive development of the country, increasing its competitiveness in the world economic arena, which will generally increase social guarantees and well-being as an individual and society as a whole.

Inequality in the distribution of income of the population has a certain impact on different aspects of the economic and socio-cultural development of countries and regions. This inequality arises due to a number of factors as the current nature of the production specialization, the availability of production and economic infrastructure, the achieved level of development of the social sphere, socio-cultural, demographic, and other factors. The main objective of this study is to assess the nature and extent of the impact of income inequality in the Russian regions for the subsequent justification of the directions of socio-economic development. We conducted an econometric analysis of the impact of intraregional income inequality (the Gini coefficient), fixed capital investment per capita, and average per capita consumer spending on one of the main indicators of regional economic growth (GRP) per capita was carried out. The model is based on panel data for the period 2012-2018 for 85 regions of the Russian Federation. The results of the study confirm two of three hypotheses. As prospects for further research, it is proposed to consider the impact of inequality in the distribution of household income on economic growth for different groups of regions, including resource-type regions and regions with a predominance of manufacturing industries, as well as for leading regions and regions with a relatively low level of socio-economic development.

The article discusses the role of international trade in promoting economic growth and socio-economic development of the poorest countries. The analysis of foreign trade statistics shows that the modality of the relationship between trade and economic development has changed, depending on a large number of factors, including tariff and non-tariff such measures. In the first part of the article the author examines the theoretical concepts that describe the impact of international trade on the socio-economic development of the poorest countries. Having analyzed a wide range of literature, the author identifies two approaches to the understanding the issue, "old" one establishing a direct link between trade, economic growth and long-term development, and the "new" one problematizing this link. The second part of the paper examines the place of protective measures for trade in developing countries. It shows that the removal of the protective measures as a result of trade liberalization does not always go for the benefit of developing countries. The last part of the article evaluates the impact of protective measures on trade and economic development in the poorest countries on the basis of total trade restrictions index. The author comes to the conclusion that international trade and the strengthening of export potential should be a tool, but not the key objective of national economic policy of the poorest countries.
