RATIONALE FOR MAIN INDICATORS OF THE «INTEGRATED» MODEL FOR ASSESSING THE ATTRACTION OF THE REGION TO THE INVESTMENTS OF AGRICULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS OF THE ORENBURG REGION
Abstract
The main problem in assessing the investment attractiveness of agricultural organizations is the search for a valuation technique. Due to the lack of research into the category of «investment attractiveness of agricultural enterprises», at the moment there is no single methodology for its evaluation, which would contain a specific list of indicators that allow unambiguous interpretation of the results obtained in the course of analysis. The research presents and discusses in detail the main economic indicators of the «integrated» model for assessing the region's attractiveness to the investments of agricultural organizations. The article studies the assessment of latent (hidden, internal) characteristics of the investment attractiveness of agricultural organizations (working capacity of workers, technical equipment, competence of the enterprise management and production conditions on the basis of the main components method). Investigations to assess the attractiveness of agricultural areas to investments were carried out in two main stages. The first stage is a preliminary assessment of the selected main components that characterize the main and the principles that affect the level of labor productivity. The second stage comprehensively assesses the investment attractiveness of agricultural areas, taking into account the values of the four main components. This analysis revealed that fluctuations in labor productivity in an enterprise depend primarily on the working capacity of the workers of the enterprise, their technical armament, conditions production and competence of the company's management. Defined Main components that can be used for ranking and classification are defined. Enterprise, which corresponds to the ranking or classification of associated sets of characteristics. For ranking or classification of enterprises, it is necessary to calculate the values of the main components for each of them, which is very important to consider when evaluating investment attractiveness. The proposed integrated assessment of the attractiveness of investments on the basis of the calculated values of the main components allows not only to objectively approach the issue of choosing an investment object, but also significantly reduce the risks of a non-return of investors' financial resources.
SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONES OF RUSSIA: EVALUATION OF EFFICIENCY OF ACTIVITY AND PRACTICE OF ATTRACTING INVESTMENTS
Abstract
Russia's entry into the five largest economies in the world will be ensured through the implementation of new investment projects in industry, increasing the level of production localization and the mass introduction of advanced production technologies. This is a necessary condition for the Russian economy to enter a stable growth path, increase the competitiveness of enterprises in the world market of high-tech products. The only way to accomplish this task is to switch to a growth model based on increasing the investment attractiveness of Russia and the investment activity of enterprises. One of the main drivers of the formation of a new generation economy is a developed infrastructure, the key element of which are special economic zones. The special economic zones created and functioning in Russia are an important tool for attracting investments and a large-scale project to develop the economy of the country's regions by attracting investments in priority types of economic activity. In the process of numerous studies, it was found that the creation in regions with a high level of investment development and attractiveness of special economic zones has a positive effect of a new special regime of doing business on the results of investment development of the country's regions. The article discusses the performance indicators of special economic zones and provides an assessment of their investment attractiveness.

STUDY OF THE ROAD TRANSPORT INDICATORS BY METHODS OF FORMING AN INTEGRAL FACTOR
Abstract
The transport system of Russia is an important component of the industrial infrastructure, and its development is one of the priorities of state activities. In the context of integrated regional development, transport is a tool for implementing the economic interests of subjects. Currently, the transport system of the Russian Federation is actively developing. This largely determines the development of economic indicators, such as imports and exports, as well as an increase in the volume of sales of goods of their own production. In this regard, it is important and relevant to study the current state of the transport system and the factors of its development. The paper explores the forms of dependent indicators of the road transport industry of the Volga Federal District. Due to the limited sample size, it is proposed to study this area using the formation of integral indicators using discriminant and canonical analysis methods. The use of canonical variables as integral indicators expands the possibilities of applying canonical correlation in other analyses, including in econometric modeling. The integral factor calculated by the discriminant analysis algorithm reduces the dimension and allows us to estimate the degree of crowding and the form of dependence between the integral variables in conditions of a small sample size.
DYNAMICS OF FORMATION OF ECONOMIC INDICATORS OF A PRODUCTION ENTERPRISE UNDER DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Abstract
The published article proposes a mathematical model for assessing the output, costs and profits of a manufacturing enterprise in digital transformation. The features of changes in the economic indicators of an enterprise accompanying its development in the context of digital changes are considered. The impact of digital transformations on the economic potential of the enterprise is evaluated. The patterns of temporary changes for the production, profit and costs of the enterprise with the introduction of digital technologies are established. The process of digital transformation of an enterprise is described by means of a special dimensionless digitalization function, which varies from zero to one. Using this function, it is possible to organically combine the two main components of the digital transformation of the enterprise, which are internal digitalization (digital inside) and external digitalization (digital outside). The first component corresponds to the initial stage of the digital transformation of production, management, administrative processes, and the second component corresponds to the stage of the developed digital transformation of the enterprise in terms of interaction with customers, partners, suppliers, regulators. A numerical analysis of the obtained economic and mathematical model shows that the maximum value of the enterprise’s profit varies over time and corresponds to the level of digital transformation of the production enterprise in question.

ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GRP AND HARMFUL EMISSIONS IN THE VOLGA REGION FEDERAL DISTRICT
Abstract
The article examines the relationship between the volume of gross regional product and harmful emissions from stationary sources. The research was conducted on the basis of statistical data of the regions of the Volga Region Federal District for 2004–2017, presented in the official statistics of Rosstat. The regions that are leaders in terms of gross regional product and harmful emissions are identified. The correlation coefficient between the studied indicators for the analyzed period is calculated. An uneven distribution of the gross regional product and the volume of harmful emissions from stationary sources was revealed: there are regions with high gross regional product and low emissions, as well as regions with the opposite situation. For the regions of the Volga Region Federal District that have a relationship between the gross regional product and the volume of harmful emissions, a functional dependence is constructed in the form of a power function. These regions include the Republic of Tatarstan, Perm Krai, Orenburg Region, Samara Region, and Saratov Region. It should be noted that only the Republic of Tatarstan has a positive correlation coefficient greater than 0.7. The accuracy characteristics of the obtained functional dependencies indicate that they can be used for forecasting and further research.
MULTI-FACTOR MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF DEVELOPMENT OF A PRODUCTION ENTERPRISE ACCOUNTED BY INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL INVESTMENTS
Abstract
The published article proposes new models of the dynamic development of enterprises that restore their production through internal and external investments. Equations of balance are established for such enterprises, which describe changes in output and factors of production. The developed economic and mathematical models are presented in the form of systems of differential equations for an arbitrary number of production factors. In these models, proportional, progressive and digressive depreciation charges are considered. Their interaction with internal and external investments is investigated. Equations are obtained that describe the equilibrium state of enterprises and the corresponding limit values of production factors are calculated. Constructed in the form of systems of differential equations, economic and mathematical models allow you to describe the various modes of operation of enterprises. Such regimes include stable production output by enterprises, temporary suspension of enterprises for the period of its technical re-equipment, and temporary partial winding up of production. As an example, a two-factor enterprise model is considered in detail. The regularities of the influence of depreciation, internal and external investments on the dynamics of the enterprise are established. Equilibrium equations are obtained and the marginal volumes of production factors of the enterprise – fixed capital and labor – are calculated.
MULTI-DIMENSIONAL WEIGHT CLUSTERING METHODOLOGY
Abstract
The combined approach to the analysis of the socio-economic sphere is based on the use of information-mathematical methods. This allows you to expand the possibilities of a monothetic approach, for example, when structuring objects of research or indicators describing the studied objects. This approach is currently part of business intelligence. A multidimensional approach is applied in the classification of multidimensional data. Classical classification methods are complemented by the introduction of latent factors. The classification procedure based on latent factors without weight factors is described. In addition to expert methods, a methodology for estimating weight coefficients in multidimensional clustering is proposed. Given the structure of latent integrated indicators, the methodology of formation of weighting factors is considered.
The paper proposes structuring using non-metric multidimensional scaling techniques, including taking into account weighting factors. Given the ranking positions of clustering objects, a grouping is carried out in the theoretical space of stimuli. The share ratio of indicators both in latent factors and in the theoretical scale space allows us to exclude the use of expert estimates and their subjectivity. The paper also notes the possibility of combining and dynamic analysis in the analysis of multidimensional data arrays. As an object of study, indicators of the non-production sphere of the Volga Federal District are considered.
