摘要:The study investigates economic and institutional conditions for
reproduction of economic relations and implementation of economic
interests in the countries of the world. A new methodological approach
to their estimation has been proposed; it is based on Kohonen’s
self-organising maps and allows processing a large amount
of data, revealing system relationships between them, visualizing
the results, grouping the countries of the world and comparing their
economic and institutional capacities in the implementation of
economic interests of the entities. The study applies both the indicators
of the effectiveness of the economic and institutional environment
and the entities’ perception of the level of protection of their
property rights and interests and economic and institutional conditions
in the country for the reproduction of economic relations. The
analysis is based on macroeconomic statistics, which ensures the
relevance and comparability of indicators in the countries of the
world. The construction of a neural network has made it possible to
identify groups of countries with an extremely low, low, middle and
high level of economic and institutional opportunities for the reproduction
of economic relations and implementation of entities’ interests.
The approach is relevant as it provides for a thorough analysis,
enables identifying the weak and strong points of the selected
groups of countries and relationships between the macroeconomic
situation and the economic activity, legal environment and government
efficiency. It has been revealed that Ukraine belongs to the
group of countries with extremely low potential for the reproduction
of economic relations and implementation of entities’ interests;
these countries are characterized by a low degree of economic
freedom, low efficiency of government and regulatory sphere, weak
innovation-investment orientation, high inflation rate and governance
level, significant barriers to starting a business, problems in
protecting property interests and rights. Recommendations for improving
(maintaining) the efficiency of the economic and institutional environment for each group of countries have been given. The
proposed model can be used to assess the opportunities for implementing
the economic interests of entities in countries of the world
and for decision-making on foreign direct investment by potential
investors.
