  The first part of Bulletin September Issue is devoted to the possibilities for mathematical methods applied to solve the current concerns in the economy. The author of the first article refers to the Rosstat data and suggests using the temporal disintegration method for more accurate GRP annual numbers at the regional level. The second study analyzes the unemployment in the Ural Federal Region and outlines the key factors which affect its dynamics by applying the author-developed econometric models determined by correlation and regression analysis methods. The authors of the third paper created an economic mathematical fulfillment-derived model for the interaction between manufacturers and marketplaces provided the goods are stored at the marketplace’s warehouses.

  The second part traditionally describes the solutions of various problems for the regional and industrial growth. Our authors focus on such issues as (1) modern theories for the global convergence of accounting systems which should be revised as they are recognized to be irrelevant when the nature of convergence has been carefully examined through the lens of accounting theory and harmonization paradigms; (2) the need to develop a mechanism aimed at assessing the personnel’s digital maturity in an unbiased manner whether the specialists are prepared to work in a digital environment and upgrade industrial enterprises to a new technological level; (3) assessment of digital economy in terms of its link with digital transformation and digital maturity of a regional economy, the search for the most adequate methodological solutions determined by modern statistical tools.

The main trends to increase the efficiency of the institute functioning and its transformation into a really operating institute of the public control system are described there. The process is significant in the terms of domestic social and economic institute modernization.

  The first article in the section “Economic-mathematic modeling” introduces the readers to an open personal intellectual technology for the development of adaptive methods of assessment of investment attractiveness and creditworthiness of enterprises on the basis of automated system-cognitive analysis and the “Eidos” system. The next two articles develop the theories of the scientific school “Functional-differential equations: constructive research methods and applications (in Economics)” of the Department of Information Systems and Mathematical Methods in Economics, the Faculty of Economics of Perm State University. The solution for the task of management decision-making to improve investment resources attraction for small enterprises has been suggested in the first article. The second one proves the advisability to apply p-adic method for the analysis of financial market and for the prediction of its volatility. The last article in the section suggests the tools for the solution of a multy-criteria optimization management of a retail unit of a commercial bank on the basis of dynamic economic-mathematical models with the control action and vector quality criterion.

The activity is made by parents, close relatives and specialists in the social reproduction field on the instruction and/or by consent of parents (and under their control) at all stages of human capital reproduction to form its qualitative and quantitative characteristics.

  A theorem for parameter recovery accuracy assessment has been formulated and proved in the section “Economic and mathematical modelling”. An algorithm that solves the task of parameter recovery for dynamic models based on observation results for the social and economic process under modelling with an accuracy increasing the conventional procedure accuracy of the least squares method and its generalization has also been described there. A cognitive model of correlation between a regional social and economic system and a higher education system has been built and the balanced development of a regional system of higher education considering the territory demands has been assessed using impulse modelling tools and scenario analysis. Pricing factors affecting regional wheat markets have been assessed with panel data models, the significance of the alteration of balanced indicators of grain stock use has been revealed, the existing state measures regulating grain stock amount have been considered and recommendations for efficient policy implementation for grain stock control to provide food security in Russia have been suggested.   

  In the section “Regional and municipal economy” an organizational mechanism for inter-cluster cooperation management has been developed on the resource oriented approach basis; an information model of the resort and recreational system of towns and district centres with GIS data bases has been suggested; the significance of personal income tax in municipal budgets has been revealed and the trends that will improve the policy of its distribution in the budget system of the Russian Federation have been determined.

  The problem of formation and implementation of Russia’s economic strategy on the basis of current and forward-looking tasks of the macroeconomic policy is discussed from theoretical and methodological view point in Issue 3 of the Journal.  

  Section “Economic and Mathematical Modelling” begins with the article devoted to a theoretically substantiated closed mono-branch model that describes the behaviour of economic agents at a labour market. The model is based on the differential equations. Another article in the section concerns the models developed to describe the dynamics of macroeconomic processes in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The developed models allow us to determine the priority directions of economic growth stimulation from the point of view of the state impact on the economy on the basis of the obtained forecasts. An economic and mathematical model of structural savings of the population has been developed in the case study of statistical data of Perm krai. Using the model the most likely stationary levels of savings characterising consumption standards and the population standards of living in the region have been calculated.  

  The improved methods for the analysis of efficient target state and municipal programs have been suggested. The methods help to assess the impact of these programs on the achievement of the target indicators of social and economic development of a territory over the period of budget planning. Using the synthesis of systematic and region-target methods a system of indicators for forecasting of social and economic development of the Arctic macro-region of Russia has been developed.        

  In terms of the concept Industrial revolution 4.0 and the theory of competitive advantages an original approach to the formation of management models of cyberphysical organizations as strategic competences of national economies has been suggested. A set of measures that will improve internal and external environment of enterprises operating in copper industry has been worked out. These measures will increase investment attractiveness of a territory.     

  The issue is completed by the article devoted to the method of analysis of balance indicators.
