Brief Description of Research Activities

The object of study is regional economy as an open sub-system of the national economy characterised by a wide range of external relations. In terms of structure regional economy is considered as a composite of three sectors oriented on global, national and domestic market respectively.

 

When investigating economic development of a region "region – quasi-state" and "region – quasi-corporation" paradigms are employed. The employment of the paradigm "region – quasi-state" and the similarity between the region and national economy determine the possibility to employ macroeconomic theories (neoclassic, neokeynesian, etc.) to characterize the region. The paradigm "region – quasi-corporation" makes it possible to employ microeconomic theories to characterize the region. In this regard, the programme considers regional economy to be a synthesis of macro- and microeconomy relating to such a level of the hierarchical structure of the global economy as the region.

 

When considering the issues of state regulation of the regional economy the management approach is employed. The specificity of this approach is the use of the concept of "public management".

 

A significant positive experience of study of trends, consistent patterns, factors and conditions for regional economy's functioning and development has been accumulated so far.

 

Research results are implemented to modernize the teaching of university disciplines, to develop and advance education and methodical programmes for specialists with higher professional education in Economics.
