Vol. 20 No. 1 (2025)

The first 2025 issue starts with an article in the Economic Theory section. The authors analyze theoretical approaches designed to evaluate the impact of information technologies and artificial intelligence on the economic growth.

The Mathematical, Statistical and Instrumental Methods in Economy section describes the results of two studies. The first study concerns the relevant issue of calculating the incentive part of the lecturers’ remuneration, while the second one evaluates the impact of asymmetric shocks on the overall demand for a coordinated monetary strategy as a part of a simple stochastic model between two interacting countries.

The authors of four papers published in the Regional and Industrial Economies section define the purposes of their studies as follows:

• develop their methodological approach to SDG integration in region’s management;
• develop a methodology which could evaluate the balance in multicomponent economic systems in the regions and test it with the data of the RF regions where the regions are considered to be two-, three-, and four-component systems;
• design a model of cluster-network interaction for a health tourism market;
• develop a selection mechanism for regional energy security indicators and compile a list of these indicators.
