International Experience of Applying Hedonic Indexes in Economy and the Possibility of its Using in Ukraine (p. 7 - 13)
The article is devoted to generalization of the international experience of applying hedonic indexes in economy and the possibilities of using this approach in the study of the effectiveness of local self-government under conditions of policy of decentralizing public administration in Ukraine. The article considers both the strengths and weaknesses of the hedonic approach to assessing the quality of goods and services, analyzes the American experience of alternative inflation calculation excluding hedonic indexes. However, there are serious weaknesses, connected with the lack of quality and reliable statistics, and the complexity of making calculations and their “distribution” among the interested consumers and obtaining primary statistics. The author makes a conclusion about the methodological possibility of using the integral index of life quality at the regional level on the basis of hedonic indexes.
Keywords: hedonism, hedonic indexes, hedonic regression, price and quality, hedonic price indexes

National Models of University Patenting: Conclusions from the World Experience (p. 14 - 23)
The aim of the article is working out arguments concerning the ways of improving the policies of national scientific and educational space development based on identification and analysis of the main national model of university patenting. In the paper there was made a conclusion that under conditions of existence of the university patenting basic models (institutional, inventor and hybrid ones) for the past 20 years the dynamic changes have been taking place in the countries. Statistical data and those ones in the patent databases not always provide for adequate assessing the activities of universities as of institutions of the knowledge economy, which made it possible to talk about the existence of “Swedish” and “European” paradoxes. Britain and China are the most advanced countries in terms of the development of institutional models on the US example. In Ukraine there has been formed a unique for the European continent institutional model with a high role of individual inventors, which is characterized by negative manifestations. It has been proved that the countries should maintain the dialogue on sectoral priorities of openness of the university research results.
Keywords: academic patenting, national model, intellectual property, open science, university research, professorial privileges

Stock Indices as Generalizing Indicators of the Stock Markets Condition in the European Union Countries (p. 24 - 31)
The aim of the article is to determine the degree of interdependence of stock markets in separate countries of the European Union, namely: France, Germany, Great Britain, Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary on the basis of studying the changes in stock indexes, as well as determining the existence of tendencies of approximating the dynamics of the national stock index “PFTS Index” to the corresponding dynamics of stock indexes in surveyed countries. The article analyzes the dynamics of changes in stock indices in the UK (FTSE), Germany (DAX 30), France (CAC 40) and pan-European ones (EURO STOXX 50), as well as changes in stock indices in Poland (WIG 20), Czech Republic (PX), Hungary (BUX). Calculations of the coefficients of pair correlation between changes in stock indices in the studied countries have been performed. The calculation results show a substantial connection between the indicators of changes in stock indices and allow to make a conclusion that in the dynamics of stock indices of national stock markets of the studied EU countries some common trends are observed, moreover, in the behavior of the considered indices common local trends are noticed as well. The author calculated the coefficient of pair correlation between the indicators of changes in the national stock index “PFTS Index” and the stock indices of the “old” and “new” EU countries. The calculations showed that the PFTS Index does not demonstrate a high level of correlation with stock indices of the “old” EU countries and has a tendency of approaching the corresponding dynamics of stock indices of the “new” EU countries.

The Analysis and Structuring of the Causes Impeding the Introduction of Advanced Technologies for Exchange Grain Trading (p. 32 - 38)
In the article the main causes impeding the development and introduction of advanced technologies for grain trading on commodity exchanges in Ukraine have been identified and structured. The generalization of existing shortcomings in operation of the domestic commodity exchanges has served the basis for the model, within which there were built: a directed graph of correlations between the above mentioned shortcomings in the operation of exchanges, the matrix of dependency and reachability. The causes have been identified and structured, the main ones being determined, which, in turn, makes it possible to carry out the correct sequence of actions and emphasize the primary issues requiring priority solutions at making management decisions in order to promote the grain exchange market. The suggested approach clearly shows the correlation between the existing causes and sequence of their elimination.

Forming the Priorities of Non-Traditional Renewable Energy Technologies in Ukraine from the Position of their Life Cycle the Analysis (p. 52 - 58)
The mechanism for the formation of priorities regarding non-traditional renewable energy technologies by understanding the complex of ecological and technogenic as well as socio-economic cooperation has been offered. The priority directions due to optimization of the expenditure chain of the cycle “output — transportation — processing — accumulation — consumption — utilization of energy resources” have been identified. The comparative analysis of typical stages of the cycle “output — processing — consumption” of traditional fuel energy resources and those on the basis of non-traditional renewable energy has been conducted. The problems of developing the measurement system to assess the risk of using traditional and non-traditional renewable energy have been considered.
Keywords: non-traditional renewable energy, life cycle, innovative susceptibility, expenditure chain, risks, ecological and technogenic and socio-economic cooperation

Assessing Validity of the Target Parameters of the “Energy Strategy of Ukraine till 2035” Based on Materiality Guideline (p. 65 - 70)
The article describes the results of assessing the provisions of the project “Energy Strategy of Ukraine till 2035” in terms of the validity of the main target parameters of the strategy. The assessment is based on critical rethinking of the essence of choosing certain indicators as strategic target parameters. This gave the opportunity to prove the existing rigidity of approaches to developing energy policies in Ukraine, which is confirmed by studying the national energy policy foundations in accordance with the chronology of the emergence of the state energy strategies. In order to check the validity of the provisions of the project “Energy Strategy of Ukraine till 2035” it has been proposed to use materiality guideline, as it enables to set a limit of allowable information distortion, exceedance of which becomes critical from the point of impact on the process of making strategic decisions. It has been found that the forecast balances of consuming the fuel and energy resources till 2035 were made up without taking into account the essential information about the energy intensity of GDP and its structure, which gives grounds to draw a conclusion on invalidity of some target parameters of the project.
Keywords: energy policy, energy strategy, energy intensity of GDP, materiality, target parameters

Effective Form of Reproducing the Total Financial Potential of Ukraine (p. 71 - 76)
Development of scientific principles of reproducing the total financial potential of the country and its effective form is an urgent problem both in theoretical and practical aspects of the study, the solution of which is intended to ensure the active mobilization and effective use of the total financial potential of Ukraine, and as a result — its expanded reproduction as well, which would contribute to realization of the internal capacities for stabilization of the national economy. The purpose of the article is disclosing the essence of the effective form of reproducing the total financial potential of the country, analyzing the results of reproducing the total financial potential of Ukraine. It has been proved that the basis for the effective form of reproducing the total financial potential of the country is the volume and flow of resources, which are associated with the “real” economy, affect the dynamics of GDP and define it, i.e. resource and process forms of reproducing the total financial potential of Ukraine (which precede the effective one). The analysis of reproducing the total financial potential of Ukraine has shown that in the analyzed period there was an increase in the financial possibilities of the country, but steady dynamics of reduction of the total financial potential was observed. If we consider the amount of resources involved in production, creating a net value added and GDP, it occurs on a restricted basis. Growth of the total financial potential of Ukraine is connected only with extensive quantitative factors rather than intensive qualitative changes.
Keywords: total financial potential of the country, reproduction, effective form

Prerequisites for Forming the Institutional Concept of the National Economy Competitiveness under Conditions of Globalization (p. 93 - 98)
The article attempts to prove that under conditions of globalization there have developed objective and subjective prerequisites for forming the institutional concept of the national economy. The objective prerequisites are the newest information and communication technologies, post-industrial trends and market transformation of civilization intensified by globalization. Under such conditions instability and volatility of the institutional environment both within national economies and at the international level are observed. The aggravation of the global competition between national economies actualizes the role of such institutional factors as political system, property, public administration, economic organization, culture, etc. The subjective prerequisites are related to the fact that the institutional economic theory is currently one of the leading trends in the modern world and Ukrainian economic thought. Interest in it is explained not only by the fact that it overcomes the limitations of a number of prerequisites for the mainstream, but also because it allows considering the modern economic processes in complex.
Keywords: national competitiveness, institutional factors, institutional environment, competitive advantages, globalization

Analysis of Strategic Approaches and Problematic Issues in Organization of Forecasting the Socio-Economic Development in the EU Countries and Ukraine (p. 99 - 107)
In the work strategic approaches to the organization and functioning of the system for forecasting the socio-economic development in the EU countries, Ukraine and its regions have been considered, the existing problematic issues in Ukraine in this field analyzed, suggestions for their solving presented. Socio-economic development of the state and its regions is inextricably linked to providing the economic function of public safety. The mechanism for implementation of this task requires an objective and comprehensive analysis of the economy of Ukraine’s regions within the relevant indicators, which includes actual observation, monitoring, analysis and forecasting of key socio-economic indicators. The EU countries have a long experience of the functioning of an effective mechanism for territorial development management, the implementation of European economic policy is carried out in complex, involving all levels of the governmental authorities and civil society, which is reflected in the increase of their economies and approaching the goals of sustainable development. At the level of regions and individual territories in Ukraine the forecasting developments are non-systemic and isolated, there is no relationship with the national strategic documents of regional and sectoral development, practically no attention is paid to forecasting critical events and crises phenomena in individual regions of the country. Thus, for today the issue of creating and implementing an effective system for the strategic forecasting and planning of socio-economic development of the regions and individual territories remains relevant and appropriate. One of the components of such a system has to be a system for early detecting and preventing emergence of negative trends and factors, which implies a timely warning about the birth or beginning of crisis processes in every region, which, in turn, will be a signal to tighten anti-crisis measures and develop short-term plans of forestalling negative course of events with the purpose of the further effective functioning of the socio-economic system and achieving the goals of sustainable development of the country, regions and separate territories.

A Typology of Techniques for Motivation of Personnel at Mechanical Engineering Enterprises (p. 143 - 148)
The purpose of the article is to develop a typology of techniques for motivation of personnel at mechanical engineering enterprises providing for systematization of their forms on the basis of a number of the existing features and identified new ones, which are justified by the requirements of today. There has been proved the fragmentary character of developments in this area making it impossible to form basic prerequisites for studying the concept. It has been found that certain features of the typology of methods for motivating employees may also be signs of a typology of techniques for motivation of personnel at enterprises of mechanical engineering industry. Among the current signs of a typology of techniques for motivation of personnel at mechanical engineering enterprises it is proposed to use the following ones: the nature of the impact; results obtained, object of the impact; direction; nature of the objectives; scope of the anticipated changes in the existing motivation system; nature of the needs, at which the techniques are directed. In addition, expediency of introducing new features of the typology, namely: the novelty level (classic and innovative motivation techniques), level of individualization (individual and standard); level of formalization (formalized at the high, medium and low level), source of the need for formation and implementation (the techniques, which necessity is specified by the enterprise, and the techniques, which necessity is specified by the business environment), origin (“field” and “office” ones). These results allow forming a holistic view of the diversity of techniques for motivation of personnel at mechanical engineering enterprises as well as reasonable choosing among them their individual types at improving the motivation system. Prospects for further research in this direction should be allocation and systematization of the factors influencing the choice of one or another technique for motivation of personnel at enterprises of mechanical engineering industry.

The purpose of the research is theoretical justification and definition of major threats to financial and economic security, analyzing the condition of personnel security at the enterprise and determination of personnel loyalty at industrial enterprises. To improve the system of personnel security at industrial enterprises the impact of macro- and microenvironment factors on economic activity of the industrial enterprise has been objectively assessed, elements for forming a sympathetic attitude of the employee to the organization have been studied, the model of developing personnel loyalty has been considered. Besides, in the work there have been determined the sources of loyalty, which suggests the presence of three aspects of the employee attitude to his/her organization simultaneously: identification, involvement and loyalty. To determine loyalty of employees at the studied enterprises the article presents a questionnaire, which is a synthetic combination of three questionnaires by outstanding scientists, namely: L. Porter, J. Meyer and N. Allen, K. Kharskiy. Also the author of the article has defined four subscales of personnel loyalty characterizing: a) attitude to the organization; b) sympathy, patriotism; c) attitude to the personnel policy; d) the hidden turnover, disadaptation.
Keywords: personnel security, safety of the industrial enterprise, financial and economic security, state of personnel security, personnel loyalty, commitment level of personnel

The Scientific and Methodological Principles of Modeling Consumer Behavior in the Value-Based Enterprise Management (p. 169 - 174)
The need to improve the conceptual framework for managing the activity of domestic industrial enterprises in view of perspectives of their entering the EU markets has been actualized. The problems of practical implementation in Ukraine of the concept of Value Based Management, which is an effective tool for managing capitalization of enterprises in the corporate sector, have been identified. It was emphasized that because of the high instability of the economic activity environment there increase the risks of investing capital into capital-intensive industrial sectors, which requires the development of the VBM concept to reduce the dependence of the enterprise management results on the state of the stock market. There has been offered the author’s definition of the essence of value-based management as a process of formation and implementation of complex solutions aimed at the creation, development and long-term preservation of the competitive advantage in a dynamic market by maximizing the customer value embodied in the enterprise products and services. It was noted that this definition forms the scientific and methodological basis for modeling consumer behavior. The technological and cognitive components in the process of forming (increasing) consumer value of production of industrial enterprises, which became the structural basis for simulating consumer behavior, have been identified. The technological component takes into account the peculiarities of goods production processes within the existing manufacturing and organizational technologies; the cognitive one is characterized by the state and dynamics of the external environment. It was emphasized that such the structuring of consumer value provides for increasing the speed of decision-making to influence consumer behavior.
Keywords: enterprise market value, consumer value of goods, value-based management, model of consumer behavior, technological and cognitive components of consumer value

Peculiarities of Corporate Culture Development under Conditions of Remote Working (p. 175 - 180)
The paper analyzes the significance and peculiarities of corporate culture formation for remote employees. Particular attention is paid to instruments that allow creating a team in the absence of the usual office environment. There have been defined the signs of trust manifestation that distinguish the corporate culture in a team with experience of teamwork and without such experience — a level of weakness manifestation and recognition of mistakes, presence of critics from colleagues, asking for recourse, interest in colleagues’ experience and skills. According to the signs the necessary management practices for the development and creation of the corporate culture has been offered. It is noted that the team with the experience of teamwork at the early stages acts quite consistently adhering to the declared standards, rules and basic values. However, even under these conditions, the corporate culture is growing weaker in time. And here it would be helpful to use the management practices that do not replace personal contact but are maximally close to it. All management practices are classified in accordance with the directions of the corporate culture development, namely, creation of effective social intranet, establishment of quality communication, transparent motivation and clear description of the control sequences, description and establishment of clear guidelines, development of personal effectiveness of employees, simplification of the project communication process, creation of “virtual coolers”, the philosophy of “getting into the body” of a remote employee, monitoring professional burnout, etc.

Crediting Businesses as a Form of Financial Support (p. 193 - 200)
In the article the modern methods of crediting businesses in Ukraine have been considered and practical recommendations on choosing a particular form and method of crediting, which depends on the characteristics of the borrower activities, its creditworthiness, crediting purposes and objects have been offered. Today the most common crediting methods in the banking practice are: credit line, overdraft, non-instalment term credit. Each of these methods has its own characteristics, which are suitable for specific areas of the organization activity. It has been found that the credit line benefit is that the borrower is given an opportunity within the fixed limit to use the credit funds immediately at the moment the need arises, which in its turn allows reducing the cost of the credit servicing, however, the main disadvantage of this method of crediting is that in the case of difficulties with the repayment of the previous tranche the bank may reduce or cancel the credit limit and enter an additional fee on the unclaimed credit line limit. Overdraft crediting is characterized by a rapid procedure of obtaining a credit, can be granted without security, does not have a targeted character, allows providing payments from the current account, at the same time the interest rate on the overdraft is higher than that on other credits, and another disadvantage is the requirement of mandatory and in a certain, relatively short time repaying the credit. Crediting in terms of lump-sum cash disbursement is characterized by simplicity in granting and consistency in the organization of the crediting process, but the accrual of interests occurs immediately after the transfer of funds to the borrower on the full amount of the received credit. Thus, when deciding on obtaining a bank credit the entrepreneur has to choose one or another method of crediting taking into account all the advantages and disadvantages of the chosen method.

The System-Synergetic Approach to Development of Banking Systems under Conditions of Financial Instability (p. 201 - 207)
The aim of the article is to study the theoretical and practical aspects of using the system-synergetic approach to the development and functioning of banking systems under conditions of financial instability. It has been grounded that the theoretical foundations for the development of banking systems are based on the system approach, according to which the banking systems belong to a class of special complex dynamic, self-motivated and open systems with an integrated structure of subsystems and functions. The study of such systems should include two aspects — system-cybernetic and system-synergetic ones. It has been proved that under stationary conditions the banking system development goes on in accordance with the system-cybernetic model, which suggests the presence of a management subsystem, which functions are performed by the central bank. Under conditions of financial instability, in the pre-crisis, crisis and post-crisis periods to study the development of banking systems the system-synergetic approach taking into account the multi-variant and alternative development of the banking system at bifurcation points is used. The criteria of the banking system entering the phase of bifurcation based on assessing the volatility of the current liabilities and possibility of building an analytical trend have been determined. The methodical approaches to evaluating the synergistic effects and level of financial stability of the banking system have been suggested, experimental calculations have been made.
Keywords: banking system, system-synergetic approach, crisis, bifurcation, attractor

Peculiarities of the Dynamics of Volume of Credits Granted by the Ukrainian Banking System to Residents (p. 216 - 222)
Any questions related to crediting processes are constantly in the focus of attention. At that analyzing the dynamics of volume of the granted credits acquires a special role, as it determines movement of outgoing financial flows both of individual banks and the banking system in terms of stability of the banking system, individual banks and economic development in general. The purpose of the article is to analyze the movement of credit flows of the domestic banking system both with relation to the selected time period and for individual intervals during this time period. With the help of wavelet analysis local peculiarities of the studied time series have been identified due to decomposition of the incoming data into two sets of data, one of which is determined by a set of approximation coefficients, and the other — by that of detail ones. Approximation coefficients generalize the trend characteristics of the studied time series and detail coefficients reveal the existing peculiarities of the studied time series. The wavelet transform as a part of wavelet analysis permitted to build a hierarchical structure of the incoming studied time series, which increased the possibility of carrying out a more detailed analysis of the studied time series. Using wavelet analysis allows specifying periods of correlation and decorrelation between individual series of the analyzed data. It permits to draw conclusions about justifying adjustments of dynamics of components in the general series of the credit volume granted to residents and create a balanced policy of the impact on the banking system activity. The subject of the further research is developing recommendations on regulation of banking activities based on wavelet analysis.
Keywords: credits, banking system, financial flows, non-financial corporations, households, time series, wavelet analysis

Peculiarities of Using the Balanced Scorecard Technology at Different Stages of the Bank Life Cycle (p. 223 - 230)
The objectives and indicators of projections of the Balanced Scorecard system (BSC): “finance”, “clients”, “internal business processes”, “staff development” at different stages of the bank life cycle have been defined. Through the allocation of representative indicators of the financial projection of BSC according to the groups (resource stability, liquidity, business activity, financial performance) the variability of their composition for banks being at different stages of the life cycle has been proved. It has been found that at the stage of creation the financial projection of BSC comprises: the level of interbank loans in liabilities, the level of interbank loans in obligations, ratio of highly liquid and working assets, share of retail loans in assets, return on the balance capital; at the stage of extensive growth it includes the rate of the capital participation in formation of assets, current liquidity ratio, ratio of overdue loans, return on assets; realization of financial goals of the bank at the stage of intensive growth can be measured by the total capital adequacy ratio, current liability ratio, share of retail loans in assets, net interest margin; at the stage of maturity the financial projection of BSC includes safety ratio, general liquidity ratio, ratio of credit activity, return on assets; at the stage of recession — the return on net assets, level of assets insurance by reserves, general liquidity ratio, solvency ratio. When choosing indicators to be included into BSC there was ensured the correspondence of the objectives and indicators of its projections to the bank general strategy at a certain stage of the life cycle and the dominants of its financial strategy.

Influence of Socio-Institutional and Political Factors on Innovative Development of the Banking Sector (p. 231 - 236)
The purpose of the article is to study the impact of major socio-institutional and political factors on innovative development of the banking sector and to work out practical recommendations on their regulation. The article analyzes the influence of the main socio-political and institutional factors, namely, financial literacy and legislative control, on innovative development of the banking sector. It has been determined that these factors not only affect individual participants of the banking market, but also influence the economic development of the state as a whole. The level of financial literacy in Ukraine is inadequate, which has a negative impact on banking risks and reduces perception of innovative banking services. On the other hand, insufficient development of the domestic legislation hinders innovative development of the banking sector. It has been determined that the socio-political factors depend on the degree of risk and expenditures on innovation activities of banking institutions. Therefore, state regulators face the task of ensuring effective and transparent regulatory instruments to facilitate growth of responsibility both of banking institutions and individual consumers of banking services. An important condition in this situation is creating fair competitive environment due to the optimum ratio of macro-prudential supervision and the process of deregulation of the banking market. On the other hand, banks should realize their responsibility to the state and contribute to reducing systemic risks.

Behavioral economics. The research methodology background (p. 237 - 243)
The subject area of economic science becomes more complicated, its behavioral model is being formed gradually. The problem of determining the method, technology, methodology of its development using recommendations of philosophy and conceptual combination of separate results presented in publications becomes urgent. As a methodological basis of the behavioral economic theory it is advisable to choose synthesis of recommendations made by representatives of postpositivism (K. Popper, T. Kuhn, I. Lakatos, P. Feyerabend) with a focus on two cognitive technologies: epistemology and gnoseology. Specifying the subject of the theory of behavioral economics requires clarifying the essence of the terms “behavior”, “behavioral economics”, “behavior of the economy” and “the economy of behavior”. The content development of the theory of behavioral economics is possible using ideas of cognomics, case studies, culturedigm, chaos, the golden section, spiral dynamics of consciousness, organizational behavior. Higher school should get involved in training specialists for behavioral economics by means of forming cognitive and research competence of graduates. Globalization processes expand the field of economic science as a whole and of its behavioral model towards the external environment. There arises a problem of social responsibility of the government, civil society, business, citizen, employee, enterprise, science. Human consciousness is becoming a new and complex object of attention for all engaged in the theory of behavioral economics.

Socio-Economic Adaptation of Internally Displaced Citizens in the Host Society (on the Example of Kharkiv) (p. 275 - 280)
The aim of the article is to develop certain theoretical aspects of studying adaptation of migrants, as well as to identify the most pressing problems of socio-economic adaptation of forcedly displaced persons in Kharkov (based on the results of a sociological survey). The paper clarifies the essence of the concepts of adaptation and integration of migrants. Among the considered in the work models of adaptation (integration, assimilation, segregation, marginalization) the model of integration is defined as the most optimal for an individual and the whole society. The results of the survey of forcedly displaced persons in Kharkiv showed that the most acute problem for them is the lack of their own housing. The next in the rating of importance there appeared the problems of lack of: money for the most necessary things, work in general and the necessary clothes. In solving their problems forcedly displaced people mainly rely on themselves and on the support of the relatives. In whole the study found positive trends in socio-cultural adaptation of forced migrants. Thus, almost half of them felt important or partial positive changes in their attitude to local residents. In addition, the attitude of Kharkivites to them was currently estimated by the respondents as completely or mostly friendly. Despite this majority of the respondents are eager to return to their small motherland. Their decision and further actions depend on the establishment of peace and territorial integrity of Ukraine. The results of the study described in the article should be taken into account when solving the problems associated with the forced internal migration. The development of scientifically based program of integration and reintegration of internally displaced persons is the prospect of further research on this issue.

Models of Selecting the Tools to Ensure a Balance of the Socio-Economic Development of the Regions (p. 281 - 288)
The current stage of the national economy development is characterized by aggravation of contradictions, increasing imbalances at the regional level. The increasing unevenness in regional development, on the one hand, is an objective consequence of the spontaneous market mechanisms of regional development, and on the other — creates social tension leading to the forced migration of the population, formation of imbalances in the labor market, sharpens the problems in development of social infrastructure, reduces the stability of the budget system. The existing trends suggest the weakness of the state regulation mechanisms of regional development. This causes the need to improve the models of choosing effective tools to ensure a balance of socio-economic development of the regions. The paper proposes a complex of models that includes the following components: models of assessing regional development imbalances; models of identifying the spheres of life activities of regions — the sources of imbalances; models of assessing the effects of the implementation of management tools for balancing regional development; model of selecting the optimal scenario of balanced economic and social development. The proposed complex of the models allows increasing the soundness of management decisions concerning the choice of tools for smoothing interregional socio-economic differentiation, assessing the consequences of their implementation in the economic and social development of the regions.

Improving the Methods for Evaluating the Effectiveness of Management Decisions on Using Immovable Property in Rail Industry (p. 289 - 300)
The aim of the article is to improve the methods for evaluating the effectiveness of management decisions on the use of immovable property in rail industry based on a scientifically based system of indicators of the managing company performance and the state of the immovable property and an adequate way of “convolution” of these indicators into the integral one. As a result of the research it has been proposed to improve the existing methods of evaluating the effectiveness of management decisions in the following directions: changing the method of forming the integral index to a scientifically sound and proper one; improving the system of performance indicators of immovable property management by four component groups (management and human resource, financial and economic, marketing, production), taking into account the principles of completeness, but not redundancy; changing the method of measuring indicators and, accordingly, their borders into science-based and proper ones. Using this technique will allow making reasonable decisions on the transfer of the rail industry objects to the management of a professional management company, choosing from a number of companies the most effective one specifically to manage a particular object (objects) of the rail industry immovable property. It has been proved that an important component of reforming the railway industry in the market conditions is the formation of an effective system of immoveable property management and development of professional form of managing the industry immovable property. Increasing the efficiency of immovable property management allows receiving the maximum benefit from using each object of property.

The Model of Assessing the State of the Enterprise Economic Security System (p. 301 - 308)
The economic security system of the enterprise can not function without a control mechanism, which neutralizes the impact of negative factors and reduces intensity of threats to the stability of the enterprise activity. One of the prerequisites for the operation of the control mechanism of the economic security system is assessment of the system state. When assessing the state of the enterprise economic security there were used the main parameters of its operation by types of management (strategic, operational, financial, innovation, human resources, marketing ones). For the implementation of the functional approach to assessing the state of the enterprise economic security system, there has been developed the economic and mathematical model, the creation of which is described in the article. To clarify the categorical model results there were used local estimates of the selected management types. The proposed model allows assessing the balance of the enterprise economic security system and identifying its imperfections within the specific sphere of management.

The Modelling of Registered Unemployment Rate Nonlinear Dynamics in Ukraine by Means of Threshold Autoregression (p. 309 - 316)
In conditions of unstable economic development of the national economy the analysis of labour market and forecast of employment and unemployment rate dynamics is of primary importance for social responsibility provision and social risks reduction in society. The purpose of the research is the empirical analysis of nonlinear dynamics of registered unemployment rate in Ukraine in conditions of increased risks and asymmetry of information and the development of corresponding complex of nonlinear threshold autoregressive models. Methodology approach is based on methods of economic theory and economic and mathematical tools. Econometric methods of analysis of nonlinear time series with non-traditional functions of distribution have been used. In the result of the empirical investigation the application of threshold autoregressive models has been justified and the row of nonlinear econometric specifications that help to explain asymmetric dynamics of unemployment has been evaluated. The resulting threshold function and value of threshold parameter, estimated on the basis of real information, determine the branching of TAR model into two different modes of behaviour that in different ways characterise dynamics of unemployment growth and fall and allow forecasting the phases of employment fall and growth in the short term. Application of the developed nonlinear econometric models of registered unemployment rate dynamics adds to characteristics of labour sector in Ukraine and allows forecasting more precisely the effects of government measures in the sphere. The defined nonlinear character of dynamics of unemployment rate certifies non-Walrasian features of labour market in Ukraine and reveals its uneven and asymmetric cyclic behaviour.

Perspective Directions of System Analysis and Modeling the Processes of Public Debt Management (p. 317 - 321)
The purpose of the article is to highlight the main results of evaluating the existing approaches to analyzing and modeling the processes of management of public debt strategy and public debt, as well as the definition of perspective directions of using the methods of system analysis and economic and mathematical tools to evaluate and analyze the efficiency of formation and implementation of the strategy of public debt management. There has been proved the priority of conducting applied research for formation and optimization of the management mechanism of the strategy, not tactics of public debt management, using the methods of system analysis and economic and mathematical tools. The current and future tasks of the system analysis strategy for public debt management have been identified. It is recommended to use indicators of economic and social security of the state and its regions as the resulting efficiency indicators of government borrowings. The approach to determining threshold levels of economic and social security, taking into account the share of public debt indicator per capita in gross national product and gross regional product per capita based on the development and analysis of discriminant models has been suggested.

Forecasting the Number of Prospective University Applicants Depending on Demographic Changes and Attractiveness of Higher Education (p. 322 - 335)
The purpose of the article is to develop a methodological approach to evaluating and predicting the number of prospective applicants to universities of III-IV level of accreditation in the changing demographic situation and the drop in the level of higher education attractiveness, which is aimed at improving both the efficiency of the provided educational services as well as prestige of university graduates in the labor market. The analysis of literary sources on the problem of forecasting the number of prospective university applicants showed that this issue is considered from the standpoint of the three markets: the market of educational services, labor market and market of the population preferences concerning higher education. There has been developed a methodical approach to forecasting the number of potential university applicants, which is based on analyzing the demographic situation in the country and assessing the education market development. The analysis allowed to make a conclusion that it is appropriate to forecast the number of prospective applicants to universities of III-IV level of accreditation taking into account the identified trends in the birth rate and factor of higher education attractiveness. On this basis a technique for evaluating the demand for services of higher education establishments has been formed and rules of recognition and estimation of the forecast situation have been developed. Prospects for further studies in this direction are forecasting the need for specialists with higher education by types of economic activities and formation on this basis of the number of allocated state-funded places.
Keywords: demographic trends, indicators of monitoring for determination of the need for specialists with higher education, number of prospective university applicants, attractiveness of higher education, demand for educational services

The Use of Economic and Mathematical Methods in Studying the Effectiveness of Intellectual Property Management at Enterprises (p. 336 - 341)
Global trends directed towards an increasing use of intellectual property items in enterprise activity require activation of intellectual property management at enterprises in Ukraine. Formation of an effective system of intellectual property management is becoming a pressing problem for many domestic enterprises. The effectiveness of the system of intellectual property management directly depends on availability of an appropriate system of monitoring and evaluating its components. The analysis conducted in time will allow using preventative actions and developing a system of measures aimed at elimination of shortcomings in this field. The determination of methods for evaluating the effectiveness of intellectual property management is gaining the key importance. The aim of the article is justification of choosing an economic and mathematical method to evaluate the effectiveness of the components of intellectual property management at enterprises and the possibility of its application in practice. This aim has caused the need to solve the following tasks: justification of choosing an economic and mathematical method to evaluate the effectiveness of the components of intellectual property management; consideration of the main stages of the evaluation on the example of industrial enterprises. In the article the feasibility of using economic and mathematical methods (multivariate methods) to evaluate quantitative components of the system of intellectual property management (economic, innovation and human resources components) has been substantiated. On the example of cable enterprises the main stages in evaluating the effectiveness of management components by means of taxonomic analysis (based on the classic algorithm) have been studied. The obtained results allow ranking enterprises of the cable industry within a particular component and identifying the enterprises-leaders and outsiders.
Keywords: intellectual property, intellectual property management, management system components, taxonomic analysis, performance evaluation indicators

Simulating the Logistics Processes of Returning Goods in the Field of E-Commerce (p. 352 - 358)
The article describes the main aspects of returning goods to the Internet shop. A brief review of reasons and possible mechanisms of returning goods has been presented. A detailed analysis of logistics processes of returning goods as well as that of the basic mathematical models, which can be used for their simulation, has been made. The model of forecasting the volumes of returned goods caused by defects or other reasons has been suggested. Application of tools for mapping the product quality, namely, the operating characteristics curve, allowed to carry out not only forecasting the possible return of goods, but at the corresponding levels of risk to take into account the qualitative component of the returns. With the purpose of simulating logistics processes of returning goods to Internet shops there was also proposed a model of single-threaded open queuing networks with Poisson arrivals based on the classic tools of queuing systems in tandem (Jackson network). Controlling certain parameters of the specified network allowed to optimize the Internet shop operation on the stages of processing the returns and carry out the forecast in terms of returning goods at each stage of their processing by the Internet shop. Creating controlled queuing networks according to the example described in this article will permit to cover the logistics processes of the entire Internet shop and optimize its work on the selected parameters.
Keywords: logistics processes, return, defective goods, Internet shop, operational characteristics curve, risk of return, queuing network

The Models of the Work Force Distribution by Industries of the National Economy of Ukraine (p. 359 - 367)
In the work there has been justified the urgency of modeling the distribution of the work force in the context of increasing the competitive advantages of Ukraine’s economy in the world markets and reducing the budget deficit; the current state of work force management has been analyzed and its existing models have been studied. The balance, econometric and simulation methods for modeling the work force distribution have been offered. The work force distribution by industries of the national economy based on building models of interindustry balance according to the Ukrainian economy data has been studied. The Holt model has been built, which allowed forecasting the work force development and identifying perspective industries in terms of the work force redistribution. On the basis of the concept of system dynamics a simulation model of the work force distribution and formation of legal and shadow GDP has been developed. With the help of the simulation experiments there has been confirmed the hypothesis about the possibility of improving the production efficiency and reducing the share of shadow economy by reallocating the work force from the intangible sector to the real one. The perspective directions of the national economy development and basic measures to prevent the further shadowization of the economy have been suggested.
Keywords: work force, industries, work force redistribution, simulation model, interindustry balance, real sector, shadow economy
