The Impact

The study is devoted to the investigation of the educational determinants as components in shaping the level of socio-economic development of countries around the world, including assessment of the impact of national higher education system development indicators on the determinants of economic development, in particular macroeconomic, innovation, and technology determinants.Based on the grouping of 50 countries, a matrix of relationships between the Universitas 21 index and global competitiveness index was constructed. It is determined that despite the close correlation between the indices as a whole (0.96), there is a certain differentiation of influence in groups. The high impact of education on global competitiveness (0.76) was found in the group of countries with a medium level of competitiveness, moderate impact (0.54) – in the group of highly competitive countries, weak impact (0.38) – in the group of countries with a low level of competitiveness. Based on the correlation-regression analysis, the study proposes a structural-logical graph of the relationship between educational and economic indicators and quantifies it accordingly. The results show that the level of higher education competitiveness is closely correlated with such indicators as the level of global innovation development (0.8 over the period 2012-2020), the level of the knowledge intensity of GDP (0.73), and the level of socio-economic development (0.75). The results will allow changes in education indicators to be taken into account in the context of their impact on economic development and global development strategies.

This article focuses on the analysis of the impact of socio-economic development indicators of Altai region and Oyrot autonomous region on the eve of the Great Purge (1935 — first half of 1937) on the regional intensity of repression. Employing statistical methods (regression analysis), the author verifies the hypothesis that in the areas with the highest level of well-being of the population, the level of repression was also higher. It is established that the turnover and expenditures per capita compared with other economic indicators had the greatest influence on repression levels in Altai and Oyrotia regions. Based on the results of the analysis of regional statistics, the author of the article puts forward a theory that the thesis proclaimed by the Bolsheviks to justify the failure of economic development by the actions of the “enemies” in practice seems untenable, since economically lagging regions were characterised by a relatively low level of repression. In the second part of the article, the author presents a typology of districts of Altai and Oyrotia regions based on the results of cluster analysis of various groups of socio-economic development indicators. Additionally, she substantiates the hypothesis about the influence of the spatial factor on the intensity of repression: the groups of regions of each individual cluster consist mainly of adjacent regions.

The Impact

The issues of recognizing the rights of the LGBTQ+ community around the world and developing appropriate anti-discrimination policies and laws are one of the main topics for discussion in the global agenda. This is due to the commitment of the world community to protect human rights and meet the needs of society. The paper aims to assess the relationship between socio-economic development indicators of some European countries and the Rainbow Europe Index. To find out how discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community affects various social and economic development indicators of some European countries, a data matrix was developed and the Spearman rank correlation coefficient was calculated. The obtained results confirmed a positive relationship between the Rainbow Europe Index and GDP per capita, the Human Development Index, the Corruption Index, and the Index of Happiness. Calculations have shown that the Rainbow Europe Index had a significant impact on these indicators. The study proved the dependence of indicators and demonstrated the need to provide freedoms and rights for LGBTQ+ affiliated members in Ukraine and other European countries.

Aim. The presented study summarizes the results of the analysis of modern approaches to assessing the higher education system in terms of its impact on the social and economic indicators of a region, describing a stakeholder approach to the classification of factors of a university’s influence on regional development.Tasks. The study aims to consider approaches to examining the activities of universities in the context of their impact on the development of a territory; to comparatively analyze social and economic indicators of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the education level of the employed population; to update the list of groups of stakeholders of the higher education system and to describe the parameters of university influence on the objects of one of the groups.Methods. This study analyzes the existing approaches of Russian and foreign researchers to assessing the contribution of the higher education system to socio-economic development as well as official statistics on the socio-economic development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.Results. A considerable number of diverse factors characterizing the influence of the higher education system on socio-economic development are identified. The authors describe the contribution of universities to the development of human capital, innovative and economic development, social policy and environmental well-being of the region. It is noted that the university’s academic reputation affects the competitiveness of the city and facilitates active international cooperation. A comparison of statistics on the proportion of employees with higher education among the working population (DHE) with various indicators of economic and social development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation shows that many regions with a more skilled workforce have higher gross regional product (GRP) per capita, higher life expectancy at birth, and lower working-age mortality than regions with low DHE. There are also negative trends in the higher education system, such as the declining number of university teaching staff over the last ten years. A stakeholder approach to the classification of factors of university influence on regional development is proposed. A group of stakeholders of the higher education system defined as “society” is introduced. The parameters of university influence on this group are described.Conclusions. The existing influence of universities on the socio-economic development of territories makes it necessary to put issues related to creating conditions for the optimization of interaction between various groups of stakeholders of the higher education system on the federal and regional agendas.

The article analyzes the basic indicators of higher education and explores the impact of higher education on the socio-economic development of Ukraine. Using econometric modeling, the influence of higher education on the Ukrainian economy at the macro level is analyzed. It was revealed that among the analyzed factors characterizing higher education at the macro level, the greatest positive impact on the dynamics of Ukraine’s GDP is exerted by state investments in higher education. In addition, during the study, an analysis of the impact of higher education on the economy of Ukraine at the micro level was carried out. According to the results of this analysis, a low level of socio-economic returns from higher education for the population is established in comparison with the EU countries. Key words: higher education, management of higher education, human capital, labor market, economic development, social and economic inequality.

Socio Economic Development

Эффективность решения проблем социально-экономического развития России вообще, да и любого региона страны во многом зависит от наличия и использования интеллектуального потенциала общества, значительная часть которого сосредоточена в системе образования. Опыт развитых государств подтверждает мнение, что чем выше уровень образованности их населения, тем выше уровень социально-экономического развития государства. Именно поэтому развитые страны направляют финансовые ресурсы на поддержку и обеспечение развития высшего образования. Отметим, что от образовательного уровня в государстве зависит уровень кадрового потенциала, тогда как от качества человеческих ресурсов зависит уровень развития региона, поэтому анализ состояния и закономерностей развития образовательных учреждений в современных условиях является весьма актуальной темой. В условиях реформирования высшей школы внимание ученых, политических и общественных деятелей к этой проблеме вполне очевидна. Финансирование высших учебных заведений должно быть нацелено на определенные цели. Они реализуются с помощью бюджетного финансирования, которое осуществляется в системе управления экономикой в целом и с помощью создания условий хозяйствования в сфере образования, согласно задачам экономической политики государства в этой области на соответствующем этапе развития. Политика финансирования должна быть целенаправленной, стабильной и прозрачной. Очень важным является совершенствование механизмов финансирования, направленных на развитие системы высшего образования в России. The effectiveness of solving the problems of socio-economic development of Russia in general, and indeed of any region of the country, largely depends on the availability and use of the intellectual potential of society, a significant part of which is concentrated in the education system. The experience of developed countries confirms the opinion that the higher the level of education of their population, the higher the level of socio-economic development of the state. That is why developed countries direct financial resources to support and ensure the development of higher education. It should be noted that the level of human potential depends on the educational level in the state, while the level of development of the region depends on the quality of human resources, so the analysis of the state and patterns of development of educational institutions in modern conditions is a very relevant topic. In the context of the reform of higher education, the attention of scientists, political and public figures to this problem is quite obvious. The financing of higher education institutions should be aimed at certain goals. They are implemented with the help of budget financing, which is carried out in the management system of the economy as a whole and by creating economic conditions in the field of education, according to the tasks of the state's economic policy in this area at the appropriate stage of development. The financing policy should be targeted, stable and transparent. It is very important to improve the financing mechanisms aimed at the development of the higher education system in Russia.

The Impact

The use of tax increment financing (TIF) remains a popular, yet highly controversial, tool among policy makers in their efforts to promote economic development. This study conducts a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of Missouri’s TIF program, specifically in Kansas City and St. Louis, in creating economic opportunities. We build a time-series data set starting 1990 through 2012 of detailed employment levels, establishment counts, and sales at the census block-group level to run a set of difference-in-differences with matching estimates for the impact of TIF at the local level. Although we analyze the impact of TIF on a wide set of indicators and across various industry sectors, we find no conclusive evidence that the TIF program in either city has a causal impact on key economic development indicators.
