activity of the region; number of financial institutions;arrearage in salaries; financial
results of activity of subjects of economic activity of the region before taxation.
1.3. The communication subsystem, its state and dynamics can be estimated using
the following indicators: mobile (mobile) communication; transported (sent) goods;
Passed (sent) passengers revenues from postal activity.
1.4. As part of the evaluation of the technologically innovative business
environment subsystem, we use statistical data: the number of organizations that are
engaged in research and development; number of scientific personnel; volume of
performed scientific and technical works; studying expenses; the share of subjects of
the economic activity of the region, which have introduced innovations.
We characterize the social subsystem using indicators: population size, consumer
price index, migration indicators, unemployment rate, population incomes, natural
movement (positive / negative) of the population. The political subsystem is estimated
using indicators: the number of political organizations; the number of persons brought
to administrative responsibility. The legal subsystem demonstrates the state of
compliance / violation of the law and its impact on the activities of business entities:
non-payment of salaries, scholarships, pensions or other statutory payments;
misappropriation, embezzlement or seizure of property through abuse of official
position; legalization (laundering) of proceeds from crime; abuse of power or official
position; corrupt practices. We will characterize the institutional subsystem based on
the following indicators: the number of business entities in the region, the number of
employed workers in business entities, the volume of products sold (goods, services).
The informative subsystem is estimated by the indicators: income from fixed telephone
communication, broadcasting network and radio communication, Internet services.
The main indicators for assessing the environmental subsystem are: emissions of
pollutants into the atmosphere, the amount of neutralized substances polluting the
atmosphere.
2. Summarizing the indicators to a methodically joint form. At this stage, the
construction of empirical data (forty indicators in the context of subsystems for each
of the regions of Ukraine and taking into account the time trend for the period 2006,
2011, 2016) to a systematically joint form.
Due to the fact that, since 2014, the Official Statistical Statement do not take into
account the data of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol,
and to achieve uniformity and comparability of data, it was decided to unify the entire
time trend with the exception of data from the specified regions from 2006 and 2011.
That is why, these regions are excluded from all tables, where the results of the study
will be presented. The main tool for analysis and evaluation is the rating method.
3. Ensuring the information one-wayness of the selected indicators. As already
noted, the methodology proposed for analyzing the business environment of a
