Topicality. Tax instruments that are aimed on stimulation of economic activity are widely used as regulators of regional territorial economic systems in developed countries, especially in the EU, and for Ukraine this practice, on the author's opinion and on the opinion of many experts in taxation sphere, will also support economic development priorities and would be appropriate and effective. The processes of voluntary formation of united territorial communities and decentralization of administrative-territorial organization in Ukraine did not bring the expected growth in the economic development of territorial economic systems and this necessitates the formation of a comprehensive policy to promote economic development of territorial complexes with special emphasis on economic growth. Supporting the priorities of economic development of regional, subregional economic systems and parts of functional areas at the basic level can be effectively implemented through tax instruments, because such measures are effective and can stimulate the rapid direction of financial, commodity, logistics, investment flows towards favorable business conditions. A promising direction for the development of territorial economic systems is the support of economic cooperation in communities, because this will provide conditions for the division of labor in the territorial dimension and will stimulate the creation of extended value chains.Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the feasibility and determine the potential effectiveness of tax instruments that are to stimulate the economic development and cooperation of territorial communities in Ukraine in the context of administrative and territorial reform and according to the impact of modern challenges of the ensuring of the competitiveness of domestic economic complexes in context of integration into world economic systems.Research results. The article considers the tools of economic cooperation of communities as means of functional territories creating, which is an alternative to the process of united territorial communities forming, and as a universal mean of ensuring of the economic capacity of communities in terms of unification, which is especially relevant during the completing of decentralization reform, when delegation of all powers is provided to the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.Measures of economic capacity increase of territorial communities with the use of economic cooperation tools are developed in the article, including tax, organizational, financial, informational levers that are relevant to the current conditions of development of territorial communities in Ukraine and regions. Particular attention is paid to tax measures and mechanisms that are to stimulate economic development and cooperation of local communities, as it is proved that such levers of regulation are among the most effective.Conclusion. It is determined that stimulation of investment activity, general economic development and cooperation by tax regulation measures is already possible and appropriate institutional support for such tools has already been formed, but for further introduction of a comprehensive mechanism of tax stimulation of cooperation and formation of functional territories on the basis of effective division of labor support, additional more significant and systemic changes to the current institutional environment, especially to the Tax Code of Ukraine are needed.

Topicality. The urgency is explained by the need of use of taxation regulatory leverage for stimulation of territorial communities cooperation, as well as the development of scientifically substantiated grounds for the economic cooperation of regional economic systems is to be developed in order to increase their socio-economic development and on the basis of improving of the institutional basis in favorable conditions for local self-government reform and inclusion of local systems globalization processes. In the process of active decentralization reform, realization of efforts to build effective local selfgovernance and achieve the development of territorial economic systems on the basis of European integration and the implementation of international best practices and trends, it is necessary to regulate the use of cooperation measures. The practice of applying of contractual forms of cooperation between administrative units in order to improve their economic capacity, which has been spread in the EU, has not been widely disseminated and implemented in Ukraine, despite its exceptional value as a measure to stimulate the socio-economic development of the regions and as an instrument for implementing of strategic documents initiatives on regional policy in Ukraine and in the EU.Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to determine the scientific basis for tax incentives for regional economic cooperation as a measure of increase of socio-economic development level, to substantiate the proposals of stimulation of the implementation of investment and innovative projects, that are aimed at improving the community's welfare on local, regional, national and international levels due cooperation tools and better use of local resources and the benefits of territorial units during their participation in economic exchange, that is - during the glocalization process.Research results. It's proposed the scientific principles of tax stimulation of economic cooperation at the regional level and the essence of regional economic cooperation process, achieved by administrative units, is determined. It's stated that such sense should correspond and improve the existing principles and provisions of the European regional policy, implementation means of which are to be updated in accordance with national features and trends of economic system development. The scientific principles and measures that are to stimulate economic cooperation are developed on the basis of actual provisions of the modern institutional environment, including the Tax and Budget Codes of Ukraine. It has been established that the proposed regulatory tax measures have become possible for practical use, on the basis of appropriate scientific justification, due to modern changes in the budget legislation and are promising for implementation, especially in the aspect of the implementation of new large-scale investment projects, and as a lever to support the development of economic growth.The list of local taxes and fees with the help of which it is possible to stimulate regional economic cooperation is determined, the methodical bases of the regulation of economic cooperation are formulated, in the context of inclusion of territorial communities in the processes of global economic exchange. The measures of stimulation of economic cooperation and implementation of strategically important investment projects with global character are proposed. The measures are to establish preferential rates for local taxes within the existing powers of local self-governmental bodies, the application of privileges for reinvestment operations, the drawing up of strategic plans for promising investment-oriented taxation at the territorial level communities and regions.Conclusion. The results of the research are outlined in the article, in the form of regulatory measures, and are actually necessary for central and regional authorities, since they contain a scientific justification for the effective promotion of economic transformations in a territorial context in according to the implementation needs of the reform of local self-governance and taking into account the influence of the processes of globalization.

Topicality. Local taxes and fees are a means of filling basic budgets not only in the direct sense, when the fiscal function of such taxes is performed but also when the regulatory function of such taxes is activated and local authorities have the opportunity to improve the business climate of their economic mesosystem and change its structure, giving preference to the most promising types of economic activity. Currently, Ukraine has adopted a general institutional framework that makes it possible to conduct economic cooperation of territorial communities, but the provisions of legislative, methodological, advisory nature on the use of local taxes as stimulators of interregional cooperation and activators of cooperation agreements that are based on added value and effective involvement of local resources in the process of exogenous economic exchange have not yet been developed. Therefore, solving such scientific and applied problem as the development of guidelines for the use of local taxes as tools of stimulation of economic cooperation of communities and increase the added value generated in their territorial and economic systems is actual topic of national and international research on regional systems for developing or developed countries, where the role of local economic and administrative initiatives is incompletely realized. Aim and tasks. The purpose of this paper is to identify the scientific and methodological basis on the use of local taxes as regulators of business activity and activators of economic cooperation and means of increase of added value, establishing of the list of key local taxes through which it is possible to implement regulatory measures and identify types and groups of taxes, which are the most effective means of influencing business activity, from the standpoint of stimulating economic cooperation and the formation of horizontal ties between the participants of cooperation and division of labor in territorial communities. Research results. Theoretical, institutional and scientific-applied bases of economic cooperation of territorial-economic systems in Ukraine and other countries of the world are considered. It is established that the implementation of interregional, intraregional and international cooperation of communities has a positive effect on the level of economic development, as the formation of points of concentration of capital and business activity increases economic growth, uses local resources more efficiently, increases added value and depth of raw materials processing and there is the active involvement of territories in the processes of the international division of labor. Due to the points of economic growth formed based on economic cooperation in the form of agglomerations, clusters, subregions and other forms of territorial economic associations for the developed countries of the world (Austria, Spain, Germany, Great Britain) the predominant of gross product creation (from 50% to 70 %) became characteristic in such territorial and economic associations. Based on the analysis of the regulatory framework and other components of institutional support for economic cooperation in the developed world, it is determined that the general institutional framework and legalization of the instrument of cooperation for effective economic development is not enough, as levers of state regulation and realization the supporting means should be introduced. In this aspect, special attention is paid to local taxes and fees, because the initiatives of local authorities must be supported by certain powers to regulate the economic development of communities. The most effective at the present stage of development of domestic territorial and economic systems in Ukraine as regulators can be used such local taxes as a single tax on entrepreneurs, land fees and real estate tax. A mechanism for stimulating economic cooperation in communities with the use of personal income tax, which is national, but ensures the incomes collection of local budgets by almost 60%, has also been identified and proposed. An approach to the implementation of simplified and reduced taxation of a number of local taxes in promising investment projects is proposed. But such means are provided only for the projects that keep the level of wages 2.5-3 times higher than the average wage in the region, which will increase the welfare of the population and will provide filling local budgets by increasing the base for personal income tax. Conclusion. Scientific and methodological recommendations for tax incentives for economic cooperation of territorial communities in Ukraine are still under development and formation, but the solution to this problem is a promising area of research. The list of basic local taxes that can be used to enhance cooperation between local communities, the key incentives for the application of targeted benefits from local taxes, should be supplemented by regulatory policy means in further research on this topic.

Like many developed countries in the world, China currently faces many serious demographic challenges that pose a potential risk to the country’s socio-economic development and stability. The current demographic development and trend is characterized by a change in the reproductive behavior of the population, characterized by a decline in birth rates, a change in family behavior, and a shift in the value system. This paper is aimed at identifying the impact of population policy and the degree of its influence on both the economic and social system of the country. Based on a deterministic approach, the findings reveal and demonstrate the serious demographic challenges facing China, and we are noting that there is no guarantee that parametric adjustments, such as shifting the retirement age, will de facto ensure the financial health of the pension system by preventing bankruptcy. We point out the risks and prospects for the sustainability of China’s socio-economic development based on an analysis of past and current Chinese demographic policy.

AbstractThe research measures the driving force of innovation in economic structure transition. In order to change the pattern of economic development, China is implementing a strategy of innovation-driven development. China’s capacity of innovation has been increasing, especially since 2012, and China’s innovations have taken a leap-forward development. Nowadays, innovation has become a main driving force in China’s economic development and hi-tech industries particularly make a great contribution. Although China’s tertiary industry has been dominant and its share in three industrial sectors has been exceeding 50% since 2015, a problem still exists in China’s economy that the proportions of primary and secondary industries are relatively higher compared with developed countries. In this paper we use PLSR model to measure the impact of innovation on China’s economic structure transition. It is found that innovation can expand the tertiary industry through shrinking the proportions of primary and secondary industries, transforming China’s economic structure into a more advanced pattern. Additionally, China is also devoting itself to the “Belt and Road Initiative”, which should be combined with China’s domestic innovation-driven development and realize sustainable development of economy worldwide.

The article identifies the key conceptual foundations for the formation of intellectual leadership of economic entities, including countries as specific actors in the global economy. Thorough preconditions for increasing the level of economic development and the impact of education have been identified. It is determined that historical concepts and modern realities of economic activity only actualize the role of education and enlightenment in the economic development of the national economy and ensuring its competitiveness. The strategies of increasing the competitiveness of individual countries of the world are analyzed, their key priorities in the conditions of formation of the knowledge economy are determined. The evolution of views on the role of human and intellectual capital in increasing the welfare of countries, the impact on GDP and other macroeconomic indicators is described. The ratings of countries are analyzed, in particular by the level of investment in intellectual capital and the structure of their GDP, which confirms the dominance of science-intensive economic activities. In addition, it was determined that the leading countries are characterized by increasing the role of knowledge-intensive activities, increasing the share of intangible assets, redistribution of capital of leading international companies and increasing research spending, increasing investment in human and intellectual capital, increasing exports of high-tech products. Analytical assessment confirms the advanced development of science-intensive industries in countries with developed economies, which creates the need for training and retraining of specialists needed for such industries. In modern conditions, the educational process ceases to be predominantly the prerogative of young people, and becomes a lifelong process, which increases spending on education in developed countries, but without denying the significant asymmetries on this indicator. Research confirms the direct relationship between the quality of human and physical capital and economic development, which is typical of highly developed countries, one of the main reasons for the development lag of the poorest countries. In addition, the article substantiates the key factors of intellectual leadership and their impact on the development of economic development strategies.

The purpose of the study is to determine the ways which intensify the investment activity of enterprises in the Russian Far East. They performed the comparative analysis of the rating methods used in the Russian Federation to assess the investment attractiveness of the regions. It was revealed that a common characteristic of the analyzed methods is to consider the infrastructural factor and their institutional environment, and, in particular, the presence and quality of the business support infrastructure. These factors directly affect the investment attractiveness of a single enterprise and project, as they form the investor's attitude. To increase the investment attractiveness of the Russian Far East regions, it is necessary to use the experience of the Asia-Pacific countries. The work formulated recommendations on the application of Chinese experience in relation to Russian territories with preferential economic regimes. To solve the problem of efficiency, increase and intensity the investment activities of enterprises, the concept of management. accounting tool application is proposed.

Examining the transformation of financial relations in Ukraine, in the previous article the authors analyzed the impact of foreign capital on the economic development of this country’s economy and found that its concentration in certain economic activities contributed to consolidating its raw material orientation. The authors conclude that due to the distorted model of Ukraine's economic development, successful practices of developed countries to attract foreign investment and reform the financial sector are ineffective in this country’s economy. Continuing the study of the transformations of financial relations in Ukraine, which are taking place under the influence of the approximation of domestic legislation to European standards, the authors could not leave aside the question of impact of the liberalization of currency legislation on the economy. Given that currency liberalization significantly affects the behavior of foreign investors, the authors conducted an in-depth analysis of legislative changes in the financial sector, and described the main results of their implementation. The positive and negative consequences of currency liberalization in Ukraine for business entities and the economy in general are analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the risks associated with the liberalization of operations related to the movement of capital and the behavior of non-residents in the financial market of Ukraine. It is concluded that Ukraine’s economy with its distorted development model belongs to the financially and institutionally weak ones, hence is not presently ready to liberalize its monetary relations, which could only deepen the deformations and reduce resilience to macroeconomic imbalances.
