The author gives a theoretical evaluation of the manifestations of new understanding of economic pragmatism in the context of two manifestations of falsification of its political-economic essence. It is proved that the experience of Poland, which is proposed by the \"new pragmatism\" as a modern model, cannot be implemented in Ukraine in the post-war period to ensure the dynamic development of the real sector on a modern technical and technological basis. From the standpoint of economic pragmatism, it is proved that the \"dosed\" convergence of \"socialist\" relations in the economy of a capitalist country cannot be extended to its political, ideological and social spheres. The author reveals the reasons for the fact that the specified unique socio-political and economic symbiosis not only contributed to the dynamic development of China, but provided this country’s evolution to a society of \"general welfare\" and made it possible to lay the foundations for a long period of development of \"market-state socialism\".","PeriodicalId":209799,"journal":{"name":"Ekonomìčna teorìâ","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138979767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author considers the ontological, anthropological, civilization-cultural, socio-psychological, political-economic and applied (on the cases of Japan and China) aspects of the above mentioned problem. Performed an interdisciplinary analysis of the worldview and value-based foundations of work motivation, and various characteristic features of the labor and corporate ethics of the Confucian-tradition countries, which contributed to the phenomenal success of their post-war reconstruction, and economic and social modernization. Applied the fractal-synergistic method developed by the author, along with various tools of social philosophy, political economy, psychology, and modernization theory. The author shows that the present mode of thinking (and the corresponding value-based motivation) of a typical Western person, based on the dichotomy of the individual “I” and the outside world, turns out to be significantly more conservative and resistant to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, associated with the widespread introduction of artificial intelligence and the blurring of boundaries between inorganic, living and digital realities, than the traditionally holistic consciousness of China and the “Confucian tigers”, which perceives nature, society and human in an organic unity. This phenomenon is in sharp contrast to the eras of the first three industrial revolutions, when the West, primarily the Protestant West was the undisputed global leader in technological progress, the introduction of innovations, and the intensive growth of labor productivity. It is proved that in the newly industrialized countries of East Asia, the reformed and modernized Confucianism actually acts as a consolidating positive civil religion and a value-motivational driver of dynamic socio-economic development. The author evaluates the relevance of the East Asian experience of the value-based work motivation in the context of the transformation of societal values in Ukraine and the imperatives of the post-war reconstruction of this country’s economy. It is concluded that the communitarian-solidarist system of labor ethics inherent in East Asian countries has a significant potential for its implementation in Ukraine.","PeriodicalId":209799,"journal":{"name":"Ekonomìčna teorìâ","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139010431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rise and development of polis democracy allowed the inclusion of representatives of various social clusters and actors of various forms of appropriation in the permanent composition of the power-holding group, and a significant complication of the latter’s composition and structure. The power-holding group becomes an aggregated actor of the mixed social-individual appropriation, and the interaction of the corresponding forms of object appropriation mainly corresponds to the complex network interconnections between this group’s traditional, socio-economic and functional sub-actors. The role of primary driving force in the evolution of the power-holding group is performed by the contradictions between its socio-economic sub-actors, whose transformed form are the contradictions between functional sub-actors. The use of the potential of the labor theory of value and the general theory of value makes it possible to define the conditions and contents of the equivalent and non-equivalent exchange of humanized and objectified essential forces between the power-holding group and the civil community in the polis, as well as the general public, synergistic public, power-proprietary and exploitative components of the centralized excess, surplus and necessary product. Despite the obvious progress, the power-holding group failed to achieve a level of complexity and self-organization adequate to the existing civil community of the polis, since the effectiveness of the mechanisms of realization of general public and synergistic public interests was inferior to that of the realization of private, clan and corporate interests.","PeriodicalId":209799,"journal":{"name":"Ekonomìčna teorìâ","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138979891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Oligopoly control and unification of quantitative indexes to control different types of monopoly","authors":"Olexandr Bandura","doi":"10.15407/etet2023.04.105","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15407/etet2023.04.105","url":null,"abstract":"The paper demonstrates the necessity and possibility to unify the controlling indicators for different types of monopoly (monopolistic competition, oligopoly, natural monopoly) in order to increase efficiency of the monopoly control. Especially this concerns the complex types of monopoly from the point of view of its control, for example, oligopoly. The complexity of this type of monopoly control is associated with the actual inevitability of the appearance of tacit pricing coordination among the oligopoly participants. And the problem is not so much in admitting that the very fact of such a coordination is difficult to prove as in defining the harm it causes to the market and the entire economy. This paper shows the possibility to use the quantitative indexes of monopoly control proposed based on author’s CMI-model of macroeconomic dynamics, to apply these indexes for various types of monopoly. A distinctive feature of this model is the possibility to calculate the vector of “natural” prices for any sector (i.e., the prices that correspond to the state of perfect competition even if it is impossible to reach this state in the existing markets). And the comparison of the actual market price with the “natural” one allows us to control a monopoly using the price indexes alone. In turn, it allows us to perform a monopoly control at various hierarchical levels of the economic system (a firm, an economic sector and economy as a whole). Such a control enables us to calculate the degrees of the monopoly impact both on the entire economy, and on its various sectors. Quantitative values of these degrees can be used as evidence in antitrust litigations and for choice of corresponding instruments to “punish” the monopoly for such abuses. The paper reveals the mechanism of use of the proposed formulas for determination of the monopolistic power and degree of its impact on economy and various economic sectors for the cases of oligopoly and natural monopoly. Also, this paper demonstrates the mechanism of the influence of antimonopoly policy on the configuration of business cycle and on economic growth rate (when other policies are neutral). This opens up the possibility to combine the antitrust policy with the anticyclical and fiscal ones, because, under recession, increased monopolistic power in an individual sector may help the whole economy get out of the crisis.","PeriodicalId":209799,"journal":{"name":"Ekonomìčna teorìâ","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138980924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The introduction of digital technologies has a significant potential for improving management mechanisms, increasing the reliability and efficiency of both individual components and the country's energy system as a whole. A special place in this process is occupied by the deployment and integration of the sector of local networks of renewable energy generation into the country’s energy system, which are created on the basis of digital platforms. The purpose of the proposed work is to define the potential of digital platforms as a means to coordinate the interaction between private generators of renewable energy in local energy markets. The research tools include structural, functional, systemic and institutional analysis. It is shown that the development of microgrids of renewable energy generation based on digital platforms is able to stimulate radical restructuring of the production system and electricity distribution markets. The author reveals various peculiarities of digital platforms as an organizational form of interaction in local energy markets. It is shown that they provide a synergistic effect of uniting small producers of renewable energy into a microgrid and forming a two-sector model of the public energy system. The structure of microgrid digital platforms is presented. They unite the owners of personal rooftop solar photovoltaic systems, wind, bio-, and hydropower units, power generation surplus storage stations, consumers, and energy distribution companies on the basis of the core platform. The article reveals the mechanism of building energy systems based on the principles of \"Industry 4.0\". Attention is focused on the need to implement a comprehensive policy to support the platformization of the renewable energy sector. The tools for its provision are presented.","PeriodicalId":209799,"journal":{"name":"Ekonomìčna teorìâ","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131801663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author shows the latter’s evolution and various features of its modern reformatting, whose cornerstone is the introduction of digital currencies of central banks. Information asymmetry is considered as the basic awareness of economic players in the context of the spatio-temporal conditions of existence as an integral state of the market communication process, which is connected with the very existence of human society and its creative activities and restructuring in the process of economic evolution based on professional knowledge. Information asymmetry is a risk distribution format adequate for a market society. At the same time, market stability under economic freedom requires information asymmetry and a decentralized information circulation system. The article shows that the global structuring of information on the basis of transparency criteria, which is characteristic of the digital transition, leads to the degradation of the basic historical foundations of the regulation of socio-economic interaction based on ideas about information asymmetry, trust, credibility and professionalism. At the same time, the structuring of the digital society in order to achieve information orderliness and the a priori reliability of the communication environment results in the denial of the institution of trust. The comprehensive fight against the \"human factor\" through increased supervision of the state and financial operators concentrates the risks of the economic system. The introduction of digital currencies of central banks becomes the final stage on the way to the creation of a fully transparent, and information-ordered economic environment, which is actually ambivalent and contradictory, as it reduces the economic competences of market subjects and delegates a significant part of market communications to digital algorithms, which leads to the emergence of societies with concentrated and undiversified risks.","PeriodicalId":209799,"journal":{"name":"Ekonomìčna teorìâ","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121908663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author shows the theoretical and practical influence of B. Bernanke's research on the non-monetary effects of the banking crisis on the course of the Great Depression, which marked the beginning of recognition and measurement of the macroeconomic effects of financial intermediaries as institutions performing important functions under information asymmetry. The peculiarities of the global financial crisis and the latest crisis processes in the banking sector, which are taking place in the conditions of a change in the global monetary environment, are considered in light of the laureates' works. This change – a rapid tightening of monetary policy in developed economies was a reaction not only to global price shocks associated with the full-scale Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but also to the previous delay in anti-inflationary efforts in the conditions of a combination of supply shocks with monetary demand stimulation and monetary authorities' faith in well-anchored inflationary expectations. The article considers the extent to which the crisis processes at Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, First Republic Bank and Credit Suisse are described by the models developed by the 2022 Nobel laureates. Based on that analysis, the author adjusts the answer to the question about the role of banking panics in the market economy. Probable directions for reforming banking regulation in the USA are characterized. It is substantiated that the government faces a complex set of tasks: to minimize social losses from banking panics; to prevent large business losses that would have broad macroeconomic consequences; and to prevent irrational contagion with panic moods and panic as a self-fulfilling prophecy, without eliminating the very possibility of depositors fleeing from a bank with poor management. It is shown that increasing and complicating the public presence in the financial sector has an extremely powerful and difficult to assess influence on the incentives of financial intermediaries, which embody the latter’s nature as special economic entities.","PeriodicalId":209799,"journal":{"name":"Ekonomìčna teorìâ","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124790382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is argued that the current Russian-Ukrainian war has clear signs of a modern hybrid war, which is generated by the global-local hybrid system of \"peace – war\" and combines a whole range of means, from military-political and economic to cybernetic and cultural and humanitarian ones. Based on the combination of political-economic and sociological discourses in a broad sense, it is substantiated that the main components of the hybrid system \"peace – war\" from the point of view of the transformation of social relations are: armed-military, financial-economic, and informational-spiritual components, which cause a comprehensive impact on people’s worldview, positioning and behavior, which leads to significant societal consequences. The authors give various characteristics of the institutional dimension of the war’s societal consequences. Theoretically, the phenomenon of emergent institutional order is taken as the basis for considering the institutional dimension of the societal consequences caused by the hybrid war. It is revealed that in the martial law conditions, the role of the trust institution is growing (the trust institution is considered as a defining and integral construct of the socio-economic system’s institutional architecture, embodied both in trust in the state and power structures, and in trust in new institutions created by the hybrid war (volunteers and various forms of amateur civil movements)). The authors show that in the context of societal development in the conditions of war shocks and post-war recovery of Ukraine, the quality of institutions and the state’s institutional potential play an extremely important role. Analysis of the societal consequences of the Russian Federation’s invasion in Ukraine in the institutional dimension shows the need to overcome the key institutional destructions generated both in the previous period and during the war. Also, it is necessary to create an institutional basis for a new economic model focused on ensuring a combination of Ukrainian effective reconstructive recovery in the post-war period and its full integration into the European Union and the world space.","PeriodicalId":209799,"journal":{"name":"Ekonomìčna teorìâ","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132836985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Maslow, D. McClelland, and others. UBI is a guaranteed minimum, which the state pays to every citizen, regardless of his contribution to the economy. It has been found that the idea of UBI has a long history, but its academic research began only in the second half of the 20th century due to the topic’s potential in reforming the social protection systems of developed countries. The purpose of the article is to assess the satisfaction of human needs as a result of the introduction of UBI in the context of various socio-economic systems (capitalism, socialism, socialism with Chinese characteristics, and communism). During the research, general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction were used. The content of motivation theories as a whole is highlighted and their evolution is briefly outlined. It is determined that the basic income should ensure the satisfaction of the fundamental needs of the first and second levels and contribute to increasing the level of the individual’s needs. It is shown that the implementation of the UBI in socio-economic systems built on the foundations of various ideologies is most likely to lead to positive consequences, despite the existing limitations. It is concluded that the main result of USI’s application will be the weakening of competition for resources and the formation of potential for the individual’s self-development, which would contribute to the growth of human capital. At the same time, it is emphasized that it is not impossible to solve, with the help of basic income the fundamental problems of inequality, which is characteristic of both developing and developed countries, and which causes competition. Through further research, it will be possible to develop more effective and balanced approaches to the use of basic income in economic systems, taking into account the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.","PeriodicalId":209799,"journal":{"name":"Ekonomìčna teorìâ","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127112688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
