Vol. 19 No. 1 (2024)

The first issue in 2024 starts with two articles in Economic Theory. The author of the first paper aims to design a model for the efficient development of the enterprises’ innovation activities, while the author of the second paper analyzes such a phenomenon as hysteresis by defining its connection with business cycles and long-term economic growth.

The authors of the research in the section titled Mathematical, Statistical and Instrumental Methods in Economy verify the hypothesis about the accuracy of the LSTM neural network against the traditional autoregressive models (e.g. ARIMA) and long memory models (e.g. ARFIMA) in stock exchange volatility simulation. In the second study of the section, the author refers to fuzzy modeling to examine the dependence of the industrial energy consumption on various social economic factors.

The authors of the articles in Regional and Industrial Economics:

– use the results of the regressive analysis to make conclusions and describe the behavioral strategies for megaproject’s direct and indirect beneficiaries while the megaproject is in progress and when its results are reported;

– define spatial aspects in examining the wage gaps for remote employees with regard to their professional area;

– outline significant features of the population’s wellbeing in the region as a set of goods, its connections and correlations with the notions “living standard” and “quality of life”, find the place of this notion in the regional strategy, develop a new approach to the definition of “population’s wellbeing in the region” in terms of theory of goods.
