The article defines the content of welfare as a measure of socially oriented efficiency of economic growth, which reflects the appropriate level of providing the population with material and spiritual goods with the formation of favourable conditions for human development and capitalization of human potential in a competitive mobile space. The modern theory of welfare testifies to the deepening of scientific discussions on the transformation of economic welfare into mobile and inclusive, as well as the opposition of competitive and social protection welfare policy. Another milestone in the evolution of welfare theory is the individualization of its provision. Conditions of competition and mobility increase the importance of households in providing their well-being with further reflection on the processes of economic growth of the community, region, and state. This gives grounds to actualize the issues of household welfare research and strengthening economic growth based on behavioural economics. The needs, interests, motives, and incentives determine the economic behaviour of households. At higher levels, it defines an economic culture that is closely linked to the national mentality. In this regard, the main models of economic and social behaviour of households – socialization, adaptation, integration, values, regulation, and the definition of financial development strategies are outlined. Theoretical approaches to the explanation of economic behaviour are generalized, namely religious-ethical, psychological, substantive theories, theories of motivations and acquired needs, process theories, theories of justice, and others. Based on the ideas of foreign scientists, the main determinants of the economic policy of households are proposed. Political, stabilizing, and economic determinants are distinguished in the group of general determinants. In the group of determinants directly related to households, the financial, demographic, cultural, social, empirical, and psychological are suggested. The author’s emphasis is placed on the importance of the impact of financial determinants of the households’ economic behaviour, the central place among which is occupied by savings.

The results shows that there are changes of social capital of dairy farmers groups in the process of institutionalization of SAMESTA cooperatives. The change is the impact of the conditions of Indonesian dairy. These changes occur in several elements of social capital, as follows: (1) Value, as a guide and reinforcement of farmers’ positive behavior. The existing values among farmers are klangenan (like), titen (scrutinize deeply), honesty, and togetherness. These values ​​become the fuel that forces the farmers to relate each other and realize the more transparent and fairer cooperative. This case shows the influence of cultural values ​​on the farmers’ economic behavior. They calculate inputs and outputs, and make some adjustments to prevent them from losing and calculate the standard number of cows that they have. (2) Trust changes positively, especially by raising the milk price from farmers, although it gives a risk to the cooperative income. This decision is expected to increase the farmers' ethos, thus impacts on the increase of milk production. (3) Networks, in which the relationship between farmers firstly occurs in hamlet area, then it extends the network beyond those limits. Farmers from different villages are connected naturally. This inter-subject's relationship occurs due to the same goals, which are wishes to be more dignified, prosperous, and get fair treatment.

Religious belief can affect individual’s behavior. It usually induces managers to be more risk averse, thereby mitigating the agency problem and positively influencing governance. This paper conducts an empirical study to analysis the effect of religious atmosphere on corporate governance. It could be figured out that strong religious atmosphere plays an active role in corporate governance. The stronger the influence of religious tradition on listed companies, the less likely the managers are to violate the rules. Through precepts and deeds, these religious traditions are passed on from generation to generation and have become a significant factor affecting human economic behavior.

The article reviews the methodological assumptions and results of in-depth interviews held in May 2020. The aim of the article is to identify various aspects of the population’s socio-economic adaptation in the context of the coronavirus pandemic crisis. The author uses the tradition of phenomenological sociology, hermeneutics and narrative analysis as the methodology for the analysis of in-depth interviews contents. The content analysis of the interviews allows to identify certain similarities and differences between two groups of respondents, distinguished by the status of employment (employees and entrepreneurs) in terms of assessment of the crisis’ impact on enterprises and various businesses, specific of the socio-economic behavior, resources, and adaptation practices. A feature of socio-economic behavior common for both categories is the wait-and-see approach to find out possible prospects of the economy and the labour market. However, respondents in the status of employee are generally characterized by a more confident assessment of prospects of job preservation and income level. Active forms of adaptive behavior are particularly noticed among respondents employed in the area of information and communication technologies. Entrepreneurs tend to combine, on the one hand, a negative assessment of the impact the crisis has on their business, and on the other, the desire to look for new market opportunities, realistically assessing the threats and risks, and to rely on themselves. In the context of the ongoing crisis, the specificity of the population’s socio-economic adaptation is associated not only with the status of employment, but also with the industry specifics, an accumulated portfolio of orders, stability of the client base, and social capital.

The performance and economics of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems are affected by the array spacing. Increasing the array spacing implies reducing the impact of shading, but at the same time, it increases the land purchase/preparation costs and the wiring costs. A number of technical and economic factors are involved when selecting an optimum array spacing. Designers of PV plants often set the row-to-row spacing based on simplified rules, losing the opportunity of improving the profitability of their projects. In this paper, a comprehensive methodology for optimizing the array spacing is proposed. It is based on annual shading energy calculations and incorporates a PV energy yield model together with an economic model focused on investment costs. The method is applied to the climatic conditions in Aguascalientes, Mexico, as a case study. A sensitivity analysis allowed the impact of the technical and economic parameters involved on the optimum interrow distance to be quantified. According to the results, the most relevant technical parameters are the module tilt (often considered by the PV designers), the ratio of plant width to plant length, and the module efficiency. The main economic parameters are the land-related costs and the costs per kWp. The comparison of this methodology to a conventional rule based on the winter solstice condition shows differences in the array spacing for the same location when the multiple technical and economic parameters are considered. Therefore, the proposed method will be useful for PV designers to improve the energetic and economic behavior of their systems.

Понятие «менталитет» становится предметом широкого научного дискурса и тяготеет и в отечественной, и в зарубежной литературе к междисциплинарному пониманию. Это сопряжено с широким составом понятий, которые входят в его структуру, и прикладными особенностями его развития - историчностью, устойчивостью/изменчивостью, идеологической лояльностью культур и т.д. Дальнейшая его разработка требует выработки схем описания его структурной композиции, уточнения базовых теоретических концепций, операциональных схем эмпирического анализа и структурирования различных его видов. Проблемы изучения экономического менталитета связаны с содержанием базового понятия и его спецификой - он представляется структурным компонентом российской полиментальности и требует психологического анализа различных его аспектов: сущности и характера его влияния на экономическое поведение личности, корпоративное взаимодействие и экономическое развитие страны в целом. Изучения требуют взаимное проникновение психологических и экономических факторов, прогнозирование их влияния на экономические показатели государства, выделение его функциональных характеристик, а также интенсивность и выраженность психологических свойств и условий культурного развития различных обществ. Выявлен ряд связанных с ним феноменов: взаимовлияния качества жизни и чувства экзистенциальной безопасности; влияния общественного сознания на темпы роста экономики; взаимозависимости качества жизни и субъективной удовлетворенности жизнью; различий в представлениях о причинах бедности преимущественно обеспеченных и нуждающихся слоев населения. Показано, что системно-структурный анализ информационных процессов в интернете (анализ запросов в Google) отражают психологические закономерности возникновения и развития интереса к экономическим явлениям. Предлагаемые подходы позволяют обоснованно считать, что возможно выявление новых знаний об экономическом менталитете. The concept of «mentality» is becoming the subject of a broad scientific discourse and tends, both in domestic and foreign literature, to interdisciplinary integration in the study of the psychology of peoples. It was revealed that the broad interpretation of mentality is associated with a wide range of categories that are included in its structure, and applied features of development - historicity, variability, ideological loyalty of cultures, etc. It seems that further development of the concept requires the development of schemes for describing the structural composition of the mentality, clarification of basic theoretical concepts, operational schemes of empirical analysis and structuring of its various types. The paper describes the problems of studying the economic mentality, which naturally has both problems associated with the study of the basic concept itself, and its own specificity. The economic mentality appears to be a structural component of Russian polymentality and requires an in-depth psychological study of its various aspects: the essence, the nature of the impact on the economic behavior of the individual, corporate interaction and the country's economic development. It was shown that the study requires the mutual penetration of psychological and economic factors, predicting their impact on economic results, highlighting its functional characteristics, identifying the intensity and severity of specific psychological characteristics and conditions of cultural development of societies. It was presented that within the framework of various theoretical approaches and studies, many facts were revealed: the mutual influence of the quality of life and the feeling of existential security; the influence of public consciousness on the rate of economic growth; codependency of the quality of life and subjective life satisfaction; found differences in the perceptions of the wealthy and needy strata of the population about the causes of poverty. It was shown that the systemic and structural analysis of information processes in Google, in particular, the analysis of queries, will make it possible to clearly see that in economies of various types there are certain psychological patterns of interest in economic phenomena that have yet to be substantiated. The proposed approaches make it possible to hope for the identification of new knowledge in the study of economic mentality.

The economic behavior of business structures in agriculture directly depends on the organization of their cooperation in the economic activity process. The aim of the article is to study the features of modern economic behavior of agricultural producers in Ukraine. To do this, the author identified the distribution factors of organizational and legal forms of agricultural production by economic behavior type, as well as organizational and legal features of individual models of economic behavior of agricultural production in Ukraine. Materials of thematic scientific publications, as well as empirical methods (observation and comparison) and theoretical methods (analysis and synthesis, modeling) were used to highlight the features of the object of study. The influence of the oligarchic model of the national economy of Ukraine on the structural transformation of agricultural production entities in the form of subordination of the interests of the state to the interests of individual social groups and the low effectiveness of antitrust legislation is investigated. The author found that in Ukraine the dual structure of agricultural entities was formed, in which two models of their economic behavior were simultaneously developing. The corporate model is represented by large commodity production of agricultural products based on utilization of the resource potential of the reorganized collective agricultural enterprises. Individual small-scale model is presented in agricultural production using the resource potential of private households and farms. The author found out that the organizational and legal forms of agricultural business entities will be determined by their participation in the contract system, the feasibility of cooperation or their integration. Prospects for further research in this area are a comparative analysis of the role of behavioral economy in the economic growth of organizational forms of agricultural producers in Ukraine, as well as assessing the impact of innovative technologies on the evolution of management approaches in the agricultural sector.
