[10, p. 554-557]. The proposed study will be the basis for developing a methodology for
analyzing the business environment of a region as a multi-component phenomenon [10,
p. 182-188].
So, the analysis of the business environment of the regions can be made on the basis
of official information of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine with a regional transcript
and relevant additions. Each group of indicators characterizes a specific subsystem of the
business environment. Official information of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine
allows a quantitative assessment of the economic, social, political, legal, institutional,
informational and environmental subsystems, as a comprehensive description of the
business environment of the region. The dynamics of the statistical data presented on most
of the indicators for the studied years (2006, 2011, 2016) makes an assessment of the
dynamic level of the business environment in each region and makes it possible to qualify
the static nature or variability of the meso-environment. The goal was to cover the
maximum number of criteria, it is a systemic form relative to the business environment,
therefore, quantitative and qualitative indicators (which will be discussed below) were
taken into account, which today remain unformalized.
A study of the informativeness of the statistical base for evaluating the components
of the business environment indicated that it is advisable to take into account 40 statistical
indicators reflecting various aspects of the business and cover the seven main subsystems
of the business environment. The indicators are defined as the basis of the proposed
methodology for assessing the level of development of the business environment.
The assessment methodology consists of eight stages, filled with appropriate actions
and analytical procedures, involving the use of the following methods: regression-
correlation; index; cluster; graphic; rating; expert assessments (Fig.2).
The sequence of the evaluation procedure is as follows:
1. The criterial selection of indicators, which in the complex, with their
component composition, do not duplicate each other, but complement, in this way
reflect and provide a certain quantitative characteristic of each of the subsystems of
such a multivariate phenomenon as a business environment. Forty indicators of seven
subsystems of the business environment, providing a complex characteristic of the
phenomenon, are proposed.
2.The construction of indicators to methodically cooperative activities. Since
the set of indicators selected to assess the level of development of a country's business
environment is heterogeneous, it presents absolute and relative indicators expressed in
different units of measurement, which requires their reduction to a methodically joint
form for further integration. For this purpose, the rating method was used.
3. Provision of an informative one-wayness of selected indicators. We classify
all indicators that reflect the different facets of the development and functioning of the
business environment of the country's regions into two groups: stimulants and
