projects and road maps, business plans, forecasting the development of industries;
regulation and monitoring of clustering processes; regional policy activities.
It is advisable to introduce this technology in the framework of the
implementation of the «State Strategy for Regional Development for the period up to
2020». The proposed approach to assessing the level of development of the business
environment of the regions of Ukraine is an effective mechanism: the formalization of
the business environment of the regions; creating conditions for conducting a regional
comparison of development processes (and not only in the internal evaluation system,
comparisons with European regions are possible); accelerate investor decision making;
justification of the results obtained, the development and implementation of policies at
both regional and state levels, corresponding to the specific characteristics of each
territory or region.
Problems of asymmetry of business environment development in the regions
of Ukraine : approbation of the methodology. The practical value of any research
activity is in disclosing its practical value, a description of how the results obtained
during the study can be applied. So, the following research tasks are recommended to
consider adaptation and testing of the proposed methodology for analyzing the level of
development of the business environment of the regions of Ukraine to domestic
conditions.
The results of approbation of the technique should be presented in accordance
with the steps that make up its procedure. We will consider only the final result tables,
omitting a significant part of the intermediate calculations.
1. Criteria selection of indicators. The advantage of the proposed method is that
the researcher, adhering to the main stages of her algorithm, can work with a flexible
set of input data. Let us return to the main subsystems that form a comprehensive view
of the business environment and quantitative data (indicators of the State Statistics
Service of Ukraine), which in the framework of the study were selected from the
official statistical database to reflect the state of these subsystems. All empirical data
are distributed respectively on the seven subsystems that form the business
environment and consist of forty statistical indicators.
We suggest evaluating the economic subsystem of the business environment by
the following groups of indicators:
1.1. As constituent indicators for assessing of the commercial component of the
economic subsystem of the business environment of the region used: the Gross
Regional Product; gross regional product per capita; the number of economically active
population; fixed investment; profitability of operating activity.
1.2. The financial subsystem can be evaluated using indicators: region’s share of
the country's tax debt in the total amount; staff costs of the subjects of economic
