DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL SERVICE COOPERATIVES OF THE GRAIN MARKET AS THE POLES OF ECONOMIC GROWTH THE REGION

Topicality. Formation and development of regional service cooperatives in the grain market is an important tool for ensuring the access of individual farms to market infrastructure, increasing the efficiency of their activities by increasing added value in the cooperative logistics chain, overcoming structural imbalances in the development of the grain market. At the same time, the formation of regional grain cooperatives is a mechanism for self-organization of the rural population, increasing their employment and welfare. The practice of developed countries testifies to the possibility of regional servicing cooperatives performing the functions of the poles of growth of the regional economy, which actualizes science and applied research in this direction, taking into account Ukrainian realities and the requirements of the dynamic market. Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to justify the directions and forms of integration development of the regional servicing cooperatives of the grain market as the poles of economic growth in the region. During the study, the following methods have been used: monographic, dialectical, theoretical generalization and comparison, graphical, structural-logical method. Research results. Based on the integration approach the authors developed a transformed model of the region's economic growth pole, the core of which is the network of regional servicing cooperatives in the grain market. It has been proved that the grain multifunctional cooperatives focused on the sustainable development of rural areas are able to produce a powerful integration impetus for the growth of the region's economy. The conceptual approach to the integration interaction of regional service cooperatives and stakeholders in the region has been developed. Three levels of interaction (low, medium, high) have been distinguished based on the complexity of integration mechanisms from contracting to subjective integration and public-private partnership, which involve the pooling of assets of participants. The key points of coordination of economic interests of cooperatives and stakeholders in the region have been substantiated, the conclusion has been made on the need for active participation of state institutions and rural communities in support of grain co-operation. The potential role of the regional servicing cooperatives of the grain market in the inclusive development of the regions has been determined. Conclusions. The scientific novelty of the research is to develop the theory of the poles of growth of the regional economy by introducing into its structure the integration component and the core of the pole - a network of regional grain cooperatives, as well as developing a conceptual approach to the formation of the integration links of service cooperatives in the grain market with stakeholders of the region. The results obtained by the authors of the study can be used by the state authorities as a basis for the development of strategies for regional and integration development. Methodological approaches to assessing the integration impact of regional servicing cooperatives in the grain market on the region's economy, development of the theory of inclusive growth of the region on the basis of encouraging the establishment of village-saving type organizations, including cooperatives, constitute prospects for further research in this direction.

The Difference

Infrastructures are crucial for sustainable growth and inclusive development of Less Developed Countries. The problem in hypothesis is the African infrastructure gap, that neither governments nor civil society organizations seems to want to face promoting investments in tangible programs that take into consideration such kinds of important elements aimed to an equal durable and sustainable improvement. The paper starts with a description of recent initiatives to scale up infrastructure investment in Africa. The methodology follows a scheme of hypothesis, observations experiences and data collection from ADB and others Institutions. This research tries to let understand what is the connection between development and infrastructures for human being. The paper then uses insights from the literature on informed versus arm’s length debt to discuss the structure of infrastructure financing. The economic growth and its goal, outlines the difference between structures and infrastructures. The main effort is how to give a weight to these latter in order to measure the empowerment of people that pass through their standard of living based on a system of strategic priorities centered on infrastructure package investments. Understanding the importance of infrastructures helps to satisfy needs and implement services that even if deemed not essential and substantial, are anyway most important to the growth of personal and social conditions. In this context the analysis is made on the difference between economic growth and development grounded on structure and infrastructure. The effort is to try to identify indicators able to evidence the contribution ratio of infrastructures to the development, how this can be measured and how they work in the different fields. The conclusion and implications are that to yield such potential global benefits, Africa’s industrialization would have to be underpinned by a robust infrastructure financing program. This requires a global finance pact among advanced and developing countries, a shift in strategic approaches, and new models of financing.

The article considers the essential features of rural development as a multi-vector process, which not only involves economic growth in rural areas, but also requires its adaptation to human behavior, social and political structure of rural communities and their involvement in development processes. It also reflects systemic positive changes in rural areas, which are initiated "from bottom" and supported "from top". In this concept of rural development, inclusiveness is inherent. The authors show that the development of the concept of "inclusive rural development" took place in the process of enrichment and specification of the theoretical concepts of sustainable development, inclusive growth and inclusive development in relation to the rural sector of society. This concept denotes a development whose result consists in the creation of proper conditions for the rural population for such purposes as: the use of land and other local resources in the economic activities; adequate distribution of the results of economic growth in the agriculture and other sectors of the rural economy; and participation in social and public life for the consolidation of communities and observance of human rights. Such development leads to the reduction of poverty, overcoming the economic, social and political exclusion of people residing in rural areas. It is pointed out that ensuring the inclusive development is a function of the state regulation of national economy. To implement it in Ukraine, it is necessary to ensure, first of all, the implementation, in the regulatory and legal framework, of the global goals of sustainable development and the objectives for their achievement. That could be realized by adopting the Law on the Strategy for Sustainable Development until 2030, and, in the part of inclusive rural development, also the Law on the Basic Principles of the State Agrarian Policy and State Policy of Rural Development.

Methodological Basis

The purpose of the article is to generalize theoretical approaches to defining the essence of balanced rural development through the prism of the evolution of theories of spatial and inclusive development and the concept of sustainable eco-socio-economic growth. Research methods. The methodological basis of the research was general scientific and economic research methods, scientific works of Ukrainian and foreign scientists on sustainable rural development and the evolution of scientific thought regarding this problem. In particular, the research used the following methods: abstract-logical (when proposing a hypothesis, making generalizations, formulating conclusions and proposals); analysis and synthesis (in the study of the evolution of theories of spatial and inclusive development and the concept of sustainable eco-socio-economic growth); induction and deduction (to study the essence of the category of balanced rural development). Research results. The evolution of the main economic theories of sustainable rural development, which, developing gradually according to the laws of dialectics, inherited the scientific developments and predictions of scientists of several generations, is revealed. Scientific novelty. Scientific approaches to the interpretation of the category "sustainable development of rural areas" were further developed, which was proposed to be understood as a process of improving the level and quality of life of the rural population, which, in turn, contributes to a variety of types of agricultural and non-agricultural activities, productive employment, diversification of incomes of rural households and filling budgets of local communities, social protection of residents, modern infrastructural development of the settlement network, preservation and enhancement of soil fertility, protection of landscapes and biological diversity. Practical significance. The study of the theories of spatial economics, inclusive growth and sustainable development can be-come in the future a scientific and methodological basis for the balanced (sustainable) development of rural areas, which will contribute to the restoration of human-centered socio-economic and ecological equilibrium in conditions of destabilizing internal and external factors.

The study of tendencies in economic and environmental shrinkage is tied to the expressions of substantive changes in complexity of determinant contexts of internal and migration flows. This chapter answers the challenges posed by economic tendencies, using the theories and models and does not fall victim to simplistic projections and conjectures and theories based more in speculation than in fact. The method used is the critical analysis of economic, social, and political tendencies in relation to the situation of shrinking cities in Mexico. The results of this analysis led to the finding that the shrinkage process in Mexico, as a developing economy, does not follow the same patterns of well-developed countries, and an increase in shrinking cities has occurred since the middle of the 1950s and the use of incentives in some localities to attract economic growth have had modest success in turning around the shrinking process.

First Choice

China’s overall economic growth is, to a great extent, hindered by the lack of economic growth in rural areas. Based on data from the Thousand-Village Survey (2015) of 31 provinces conducted by Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, we conduct this empirical study to analyze the current state of rural financial services and the factors influencing effective demand for loans in rural China. Looking at the demand side, in 2014, only 13.91% farmers had loans, and only 15.53% of them made financial institutions their first choice when they needed loans. Clearly, there is still much to do with regard to inclusive finance. From the perspective of the supply side, only 43.86% of dispersed loans can be categorized as productive loans, further reflecting that the financial services industry does not provide strong support for rural economic growth. Further study shows that the main factors influencing effective demand for productive loans are the population age structure and the rate at which migrant workers return home. Therefore, the "Second-Child" policy and policies that encourage migrant workers to go back home to start businesses are of vital importance in order to raise effective financial demand in rural China.

The purpose of the study is to develop a model for the co-evolution of the regional economy and economic institutions. The research methods used: abstract-logical for the study of theoretical aspects and the experience of modeling co-evolution; and economic-mathematical for the development of own model of coevolution. The results of the study: approaches to modeling the evolution of economic institutions, as well as the co-evolution of the regional economy and economic institutions are considered, strengths and weaknesses of existing approaches to modeling co-evolution are identified, on the basis of the logistic model and Lotka-Volterra equations, an own co-evolution model has been developed, which includes three entities: regional economy, “good” institution and “bad” institution. Three versions of the model have been developed: the co-evolution of the regional economy and the “good” institution, the co-evolution of the regional economy and the “bad institution,” and a variant of the co-evolution of all three entities simultaneously, in which the “good” and “bad” institutions interact according to the “predator-prey” model, and their the cumulative effect determines the development of the regional economy. Numerical experiments have been carried out in the MathLab, which have shown the capabilities of the model to reflect the results of the co-evolution of the economy of a resource-producing region and economic institutions. In the first variant, a “good” institution promotes economic growth in excess of the level determined by resource availability. In the second variant, the “bad” institution has a disincentive effect on the GRP, as a result of which the GRP falls below the level determined by the resource endowment. In the third variant, the interaction of “good” and “bad” institutions still contributes to economic growth above the level determined by resource availability, but causes cyclical fluctuations in the GRP.
