Spatial-temporal analysis of the relationship between interprovincial migration and economic development in China: data from a bivariative autocorrelation study (2000 –2024)
type: item
description: Although interregional migration is a key factor in the development of China’s regional economies, existing studies often neglect its dynamic spatial dependence. This study quantitatively assesses the spatiotemporal relationship between interregional migration and economic development in 31 provinces of China from 2000 to 2024. By using bivariate spatial autoregressive analysis (global Moran’s I and local spatial autocorrelation index (LISA)) on provincial-level data from the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the impact of migration on GRP growth patterns is characterised. The results of the analysis allow us to identify three stages of regional agglomeration evolution: 1) the initial stage of extreme concentration of economic activity and migration flows in the eastern coastal regions (2000 –2009); 2) the phase of their partial rebalancing towards the western provinces (2010 –2019); 3) the final stage of policy-induced multipolar redistribution (2020 –2024). Different spatial regimes are also found, characterised by negative autocorrelation during the period of decentralisation (2005 –2014) and the emergence of clusters in new agglomeration hubs (2015 –2019).

Theoretical and methodological study of the problems of observation the state of the national economic system and analysis of the national economic system
type: item
description: This article explores the challenges of systems research in complex, nonlinear, dynamic systems undergoing various transformations (natural evolution, bifurcations, crises, and various external influences) – the problems of observation and analysing the national economic system. Contemporary economic literature has extensively explored the structure, analysis, and management of national economic systems. However, assessing the functioning of the national economy as it moves remains insufficiently addressed. This article draws on the work of contemporary scholars in management theory and the theoretical foundations of systems research. The application of these works, through the lens of modern economic theory, has enabled us to substantiate and develop the stages of a structural and logical representation of the challenges of observation of the state of the national economic system and analysing the national economic system as a dynamic, multi-connected, multi-parameter structure. The developed algorithm allows us to take into account the main difficulties of observation the state of nonlinear, dynamic, multi-connected, multi-parameter systems and analysing the national economic system in the context of constructing econometric models for managing macroeconomic processes, including three control loops (the primary control loop, the disturbance-management loop, and the self-adjustment loop).

The integration management of science and industry: essence, backgrounds and main trends
type: item
description: The integration of science and industry is crucial for fostering an innovation-driven economy, accelerating technological advancements, and ensuring sustainable growth. Understanding of the factors influencing this integration is essential for strategic decision-making. This study analyses panel data from 31 Chinese provinces in 2011– 2022. We employ the entropy-weighted model and the coupling coordination model to comprehensively assess the level of science – industry integration in China. Additionally, a two-way fixed-effects panel quantile model examines the impact of inward and outward foreign direct investment, public transportation infrastructure, healthcare service capacity, and urbanisation rates on integration. The findings indicate a measurable increase in science – industry coordination in China, particularly in the eastern regions, where policy support and investment have driven advancements in technology transfer and innovation capacity. Foreign direct investment and public transportation expansion significantly enhance integration, while urbanisation’s influence varies, showing stronger effects in highly industrialised areas. Additionally, outward foreign investment becomes a key driver at later development stages, highlighting the role of international collaboration. These insights provide valuable guidance for developing strategies to strengthen science-industry interactions, not only in China but also in other countries aiming for innovation-driven growth. The research underscores the need for targeted government policies, strategic international investments, and infrastructure expansion to foster deeper science – industry integration, ultimately driving technological progress and economic competitiveness.

title: Application of multiparametric machine learning methods for selection of significant quantitative characteristics of enterprises in the regions of the Russian Federation in the analysis of subsidisation
description: In this paper, we present an original method for searching a connection between financial-economic characteristics and the subsidisation of the regions of the Russian Federation. The dataset contained data on enterprises and organisations, as well as indicators related to fixed assets, as the most significant in terms of the regions’ needs for subsidies. Two groups of regions were identified: regions with high subsidies and regions without them. Machine learning methods were used to establish differences in the reporting data of enterprises and organisations, as well as fixed assets, in the identified groups. In 2020, the most important indicators by which the groups differed from each other were the number and turnover of organisations, the balanced financial result (difference of profit and loss), the share of unprofitable organisations, accounts payable and receivable of organisations, overdue wage arrears per employee, the number of small enterprises per 10 000 people, etc. This approach (classification using optimally reliable partitioning and statistically weighted syndromes) is just beginning to be used in this area. The found dependences will allow us to more accurately outline the pattern («portrait») of each region of the Russian Federation with the possibility of further forecasting its subsidised status. A set of significant characteristics will improve the accuracy of the forecast and propose a plan for moving from the subsidised group to the group of self-sufficient subjects of the Russian Federation.

Modern hybrid structures in the countries with X-type institutional matrix
type: item
description: It is noted that the peculiarity of the Belarusian institutional system of X-type is its orientation to the planned-distributive type of economic relations and administrative methods of state management. It is pointed out that the task of consolidation of agents from different institutional sectors is relevant. The theoretical foundations of the coordination process are considered which make it possible to justify the formation of hybrid forms of organisation of subject relations adequate to the national economy. Emphasis is placed on the role of digital media as a guarantor of successful integration interaction in moving towards a common goal, as well as the position of the state as a key coordinator and strategist of effective socio-economic development of the Republic of Belarus.

Modelling the impact of digitalisation on economic growth
type: item
description: Econometric models are used to study the impact on the country’s economic growth of such factors as the monetary system and the level of digitalisation. Within the first econometric model were built the forecast of growth GDP per capita until 2050 at the exchange rate in constant 2015 US dollars. As indicators reflecting the quality of the monetary system were used gross capital formation, money supply growth rate, and the share of total reserves in gross external debt. The second econometric model considers the number of Internet users and mobile subscribers, information technology exports, and the innovation index in the World Intellectual Property Organisation rating as factors influencing the level of digitalisation. The results of the study show that the country’s welfare is growing due to the acceleration of everyday tasks using the Internet and mobile communications, simplification of work processes, and increased labour productivity.

The scenario of the development of the Union State of Russia and Belarus in the framework of cooperation in integration associations
type: item
description: The current economic situation of the member countries of the Union State is considered. The necessity of this union for Russia and Belarus, as well as the importance of further development of the association are substantiated. The economy of Belarus is largely linked to the economy of Russia, which occupies a leading position in various segments in the Union State and is more financially and economically developed. To analyse and illustrate the current situation, the ranking of countries by the rating of the speed of economic development, the index of innovative development and the index of information and communication technology development, one-factor analysis of variance (ANOVA) for the two states are used. The main risks of interaction in integration associations (inflation, sanctions, personnel, logistics and currency) are identified, as well as their effect on the economy of both countries. Within the framework of the studied indicators, the dynamics of GDP and foreign trade turnover of Belarus, volumes of mutual trade and mutual investments between Russia and Belarus are predicted. Different approaches and algorithms are used for modelling and constructing forecast values: regressions of various functional forms, the ARIMA (ARIMAX) model, exponential smoothing and the Prophet model. The analysis reflects the potential positive effects of the Union State’s participation in integration associations and cooperation with new partners. It is concluded that Belarus and Russia need to continue building common payment systems, exchanging innovations to build up production and economic potential, and technological development.

Economic integration of Russia and Belarus: prospects for growth and exchange of innovations
type: item
description: The article examines the prospects for economic cooperation between Russia and Belarus within the framework of the EAEU, SCO and BRICS integration associations, with an emphasis on the impact of sanctions and their consequences for the economic growth of the countries. The study includes the use of econometric modelling methods to evaluate the forecast of key economic characteristics, such as the GDP of Belarus and the volume of mutual trade, as well as indicators of investment flows and innovative interaction. The autoregressive integrated moving average model with external input data (ARIMAX) was used, as well as the gravity model of foreign trade, which allowed taking into account time trends and external factors influencing forecasts. The exponential smoothing methodology was also used. The results show positive trends in the Belarusian economy with a slight decline in 2022, and a projected increase in mutual trade and the exchange of innovations. Forecasts of mutual investments, on the contrary, indicate a decline in the long term. Further strengthening of economic integration and improvement of the countries’ political and financial positions in the international arena are expected.

The peculiarities of the financial integration development of the Central America and the Caribbean countries at the present stage
type: item
description: The article is devoted to the analysis of integration processes within the Central American Integration System (SICA) and the Caribbean Community with a special focus on the specifics of financial integration at the current stage of development. The paper aims to empirically test the hypothesis that despite the ongoing process of financial integration formation between 2013 and 2024, the harmonisation of the banking sector, investment vehicles and the stock market stimulates the growth of mutual trade between Caribbean Community and SICA countries. The econometric analysis reveals that most factors drive exports between Caribbean Community and SICA countries. It is noted that GDP per capita growth has a negative impact: a 1 per cent increase in this indicator entails a 1.495 per cent decrease in exports. This trend is explained by the fact that in periods of economic hardship, the countries of the region increase mutual trade, while in more stable times they focus on external partners, particularly the United States. The results of this paper may be of interest to research centres, companies and international organisations specialising in the study of integration processes in Caribbean Community, SICA and other groupings.

Methodological concepts of socio-economic systems study
type: item
description: The article explores several methodological concepts with the aim of establishing a comprehensive epistemological foundation for the study of socio-economic systems: historical, evolutionary, formational, dialectical, systemic, tectological, cybernetic, teleological, and synergetic approaches. The basic methodological principles within each approach are identified, and the scope of their application to the understanding of socio-economic systems is defined. Based on the proposed methodological framework, principles for researching socio-economic systems are formulated. The use of this set of methodological concepts to understand the essence, properties, and qualities of socio-economic systems will significantly expand the researcher’s capabilities, enabling a comprehensive and multifaceted analysis of their objective patterns of functioning and development, while overcoming the limitations of any single methodological approach.

Health capital accumulation and effective utilisation: a theoretical framework based on an extended Cobb – Douglas production function
type: item
description: Against the backdrop of the initiative «Healthy China» and the transformation of the demographic dividend, health capital has emerged as a critical determinant of national competitiveness and the long-term sustainability of economic development. Based on data from the China Statistical Yearbook, the National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China, and United Nations World Population Prospects, this article analyses current trends in the formation of China’s health capital and the structural challenges associated with this process. Building on an extended Cobb – Douglas production function, we propose a theoretical framework that integrates health capital into macroeconomic output analysis and introduce a comprehensive multidimensional health human capital index (HHCI) encompassing four key dimensions. Furthermore, we present an integrated policy framework grounded in a life-course approach to health capital and multi-stakeholder engagement, offering practical strategies to promote its accumulation and improve its utilisation efficiency. The findings provide a solid theoretical and methodological basis for fostering high-quality, sustainable economic growth amid China’s ongoing demographic and institutional transformations.

Analysis of consumer choice features in the digital environment
type: item
description: The article studies the behaviour of consumers of an online store selling durable goods in order to stimulate sales of premium products. The key objective is to build a predictive model that allows for a highly accurate assessment of the likelihood of making the next premium purchase based on big data analytics. The study uses multivariate data analysis methods, in particular, factor analysis (to identify latent patterns of product perception) and cluster analysis (to group users based on information-behavioural strategies). It is established that information involvement (the depth of interaction with reviews and filtering) greatly increases the likelihood of making a premium purchase. The model results make it possible to implement personalised content display, segment the audience for email and push notifications, and take into account regional characteristics and macroeconomic conditions that influence consumer preferences. The hypothesis about the significance of the influence of cognitive factors in making consumer choices in the digital environment is confirmed.

Explainable artificial intelligence in human resource analytics: analysis of performance factors
type: item
description: In the context of digitalisation and the growing importance of human capital, explainable artificial intelligence models in human resource analytics are particularly relevant. Using the XGBoost gradient model, the impact of transversal skills and digital competencies on key employee performance indicators is analysed. The SHAP method, which ensures forecast transparency, is used to interpret the contribution of features. A methodology is developed for the stages of open data selection, feature generation, and model interpretation. It is established that factors such as communication skills, digital literacy, and tenure have a significant impact on performance. The managerial consequences of using explainable artificial intelligence to support human resource development decisions are discussed. The importance of interpretable models for increasing trust in algorithms in human resource analytics is emphasised.

Exploring the impact of green investment on quality of life: comparative study of China and Belarus from the perspective of economic growth
type: item
description: The impact of green investment on quality of life from the perspective of economic growth is investigated. Panel data and fixed effects models for 30 provinces in China as well as 6 regions and the capital city of Belarus for the period from 2010 to 2020 are used to study this process. The results show that holding other conditions constant, a 1.0 % increase in green investment can accelerate economic growth by 0.22 %. A comparative analysis of the impact of green investment on economic growth in China and Belarus is carried out. Significant differences in their impact are identified. It is argued that the economic benefits of green investment in Belarus are about three times higher than in China. These findings remain valid if the endogeneity problem is taken into account and a series of robustness checks are conducted. Appropriate economic policy measures are proposed to improve the quality of life and increase the economic benefits of green investment.
