THE TRANSFORMATIONAL ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND INDUSTRIAL MATHEMATICS IN THE COGNITIVE ECONOMY

2026-05-01T12:49:32+03:00

The results obtained consist in revealing the functional role of industrial mathematics as the formal backbone of the cognitive infrastructure, interpreting artificial intelligence (AI) as algorithmic capital, and describing the «cognitive value chains» that permeate production, logistics, finance, public governance, and the social sphere. Thanks to an interdisciplinary approach that combines economic theory, industrial mathematics, artificial intelligence studies, and politico-institutional analysis, these results make it possible to coherently explain how the integration of AI and industrial mathematics transforms productivity, the structure of employment, cognitive and economic inequality, as well as the requirements for education, science, innovation, and social policy. The explanation of the results is grounded in the concept of algorithmic capital, a systemic view of cognitive infrastructure, and empirical evidence on the impact of AI on productivity, innovation, and global value chains. The conclusions obtained can be applied in practice under conditions of institutional capacity to develop an industrial-mathematical ecosystem, invest in cognitive capital, build national data infrastructure, and implement policies aimed at ensuring fair access to algorithmic capital and democratic control over cognitive infrastructure.

ENDOGENOUS MODELS OF ECONOMSC GROWTH AND THEIR APPLICATUON FOR THE POST-WAR RECOVERY OF UKRAINE'S ECONOMY

2026-05-01T14:27:08+03:00

The post-war recovery of Ukraine’s economy necessitates the reconsideration of growth strategies and the adaptation of theoretical approaches to new realities. This study emphasizes the importance of endogenous growth models, which interpret economic development as the outcome of internal factors such as human capital, investments, research, and innovation. The research applies methods of theoretical analysis, synthesis, and comparison of growth models to assess their applicability in the Ukrainian context. Special attention is devoted to identifying the capacity of knowledge accumulation, innovation, and competition to stimulate structural modernization under conditions of uncertainty, infrastructural destruction, and labor force migration. The results demonstrate that endogenous models offer valuable tools for understanding Ukraine’s long-term recovery prospects. The Romer model highlights the role of knowledge accumulation in technological progress, while Lucas stresses the importance of human capital formation. Jones refines the dynamics of research productivity, and Barro underlines the impact of state policy and investment. The Schumpeterian model of Aghion and Howitt, which explains growth through innovation-driven “creative destruction,” is found to be particularly relevant for Ukraine, as it reflects the need for rapid modernization and replacement of outdated industries with innovative sectors. The study further shows that the integration of certain elements from other models—such as Solow’s focus on physical capital accumulation, Lucas’s emphasis on learning-by-doing, and Barro’s insights into public investment—makes it possible to design a hybrid approach adapted to the specific challenges of post-war development. The practical value of the article lies in offering a conceptual framework for policymakers to set priorities in education, R&D, and infrastructure investment, as well as to stimulate innovation and entrepreneurship. By adapting endogenous growth models to Ukraine’s realities, the study provides tools for elaborating strategies that enhance internal growth drivers, accelerate technological renewal, and ensure sustainable post-war economic recovery.

METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH TO ASSESSING SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

2026-05-01T14:44:29+03:00

The article is devoted to the development and justification of a methodological approach to assessing the social responsibility of economic entities in the context of digital transformation and the implementation of sustainable development initiatives. The study uses a methodology of analysis and synthesis to clarify certain concepts and approaches, systematic analysis to determine the relationship between digitalisation and social effectiveness, and a multi-criteria assessment method to form a system of social responsibility parameters. The article analyses the peculiarities of implementing the basic principles of social responsibility in the current conditions of rapid digitalisation of the economy. It has been established that modern assessment methods do not sufficiently take into account the existing digital risks and opportunities. The paper proposes a methodological approach based on an integrated approach and includes certain blocks of indicators – economic-digital, environmental and socially inclusive. Some attention is paid to the use of Big Data technology for monitoring social initiative processes. It is summarised that digital transformation is both an object of assessment and a tool for ensuring the transparency and accountability of business to citizens and society. The scientific novelty lies in the formation of a new approach to social responsibility analysis, which integrates digital maturity indicators with sustainable development goals (or ESG factors). This allows regional formations and enterprises to adapt their strategies to the requirements of digital transformation, ensuring a balance between the progressiveness of digital transformation and the fulfilment of social tasks. The implementation of the proposed approach can contribute to the creation of a transparent environment for interaction between authorities, business structures and citizens. The proposals presented may be useful in the formation of digital projects and strategies for the implementation of corporate social responsibility in the context of sustainable development.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE REAL ESTATE MARKET IN THE CONTEXT OF UKRAINE’S POST-WAR RECOVERY

2026-05-01T15:38:47+03:00

The article examines the real estate market as one of the key elements of Ukraine’s post-war economic recovery, combining the functions of housing provision, formation of the investment climate, and stimulation of related sectors of the economy. It is substantiated that, under conditions of large-scale destruction, resource constraints, and heightened security risks, the recovery of the real estate market requires a transition from a traditional reconstruction model to a sustainable development strategy based on the integration of economic, social, and environmental components. The study analyzes contemporary scientific approaches to post-war recovery of the construction sector and identifies systemic problems of the domestic real estate market, including high energy intensity of buildings, insufficient social inclusiveness, and low adaptability to climate change and security challenges. Particular attention is paid to economic instruments for stimulating real estate market development, including compensation and mortgage-credit mechanisms, construction and investment programs, public–private partnerships, war risk insurance, as well as tax and land instruments. Within the research framework, international experience in implementing environmental instruments for sustainable real estate market development is systematized, and the possibilities for their adaptation to the conditions of martial law and post-war recovery in Ukraine are substantiated. It is concluded that the integration of economic efficiency, social orientation, and environmental safety into the real estate market development strategy creates prerequisites for increasing investment attractiveness, regional resilience, and the formation of a modern, energy-efficient, and safe living environment. The study develops a methodological approach to assessing the sustainable development of the real estate market in the context of post-war recovery, based on the formation of an integral index that incorporates economic, social, and environmental components, and substantiates three possible development scenarios (pessimistic, inertial, and optimistic).

PUBLIC FUNDING OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL: CONTEMPORARY APPROACHES TO THE ALLOCATION OF FUNDS IN UKRAINE

2026-05-01T14:54:29+03:00

The article comprehensively rethinks the governance logic of public funding for higher education institutions in Ukraine under the transition from a maintenance-oriented model to a mixed model that combines baseline stability with performance incentives. The purpose of the study is to justify the conditions under which formula-based allocation of state funds safeguards institutional continuity and simultaneously contributes to the development of university intellectual capital. The object of the research is the system of public funding of higher education institutions, while the subject is the set of managerial, methodological and informational mechanisms through which the funding formula affects the human, structural and relational capital of universities. The methodology combines a critical review of studies, content analysis of regulatory documents and official communications, comparative analysis of international funding models, secondary analysis of open statistical and budget data for 2023–2025, and practical approbation based on a sample of Ukrainian universities. It is proved that the effect of formula funding depends not only on the absolute amount of resources but also on three conditions: a sufficient stabilisation component, a valid set of indicators, and independent verification of data. The international review shows that performance-based funding is useful only when it does not crowd out core funding and when it is aligned with quality assurance, research productivity, international cooperation and graduate employability. Based on the Ukrainian context of 2024–2025, the paper demonstrates that funding cuts or rigid freezing of allocations generate risks of losing human and structural capital, whereas moderate growth creates opportunities for developing laboratories, digital infrastructure, grant activity and external partnerships. An improved quality incentives matrix is proposed, linking formula indicators to specific effects on intellectual capital and to the risks of indicator distortion.

ENTERPRISE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT IN CONDITIONS OF FINANCIAL STATUS TRANSFORMATION AND SECURITY RISKS

2026-05-01T15:01:59+03:00

The purpose of the article is to develop and test an adaptive model of enterprise financial management under conditions of financial status transformation and increasing security risks. The study focuses on the practical diagnosis of changes in liquidity, solvency, capital structure, and cash flow stability during a period of heightened uncertainty. The methodological basis consists of a comprehensive financial and economic analysis, including the assessment of key indicator dynamics, comparison of alternative development scenarios, and modeling of the impact of risks on the enterprise’s financial performance. The analytical component is grounded in the use of calculated indicators, an integrated monitoring system, and an applied matrix of managerial decisions. The findings indicate a persistent trend toward declining financial autonomy and increasing debt burden under external shocks. It has been established that when the growth rate of liabilities exceeds revenue growth, a high liquidity risk zone emerges. The feasibility of implementing an early warning system for financial threats has been substantiated; such a system involves regular monitoring of critical indicators and prompt adjustments to the capital structure. It has been proven that integrating risk management into the financial strategy reduces cash flow variability and minimizes losses from currency and credit risks. The practical significance of the study lies in the formation of a set of stabilization tools, including scenario budgeting, working capital optimization, the creation of financial security reserves, and diversification of funding sources. The proposed model ensures improved liquidity ratios, reduced cost of capital, and enhanced operational efficiency in the medium term. The scientific novelty consists in combining a financial indicator monitoring system with adaptive managerial response mechanisms, thereby forming a comprehensive approach to ensuring enterprise financial stability under security challenges.

KEY THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS AND APPROACHES TO INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION

2026-05-01T15:49:08+03:00

This article presents the results of a comprehensive study of the key theoretical foundations and approaches to intercultural communication in the context of international economic relations. The relevance of this work stems from the need to overcome communication barriers in a globalised business environment that is undergoing transformation under the influence of digitalisation and European integration processes. Within the scope of the study, three main scientific directions have been identified and systematised: anthropological-linguistic, cognitive-psycholinguistic and institutional-economic. The fundamental models of E. Hall, G. Hofstede and F. Trompenaars are analysed; these form the methodological foundation for analysing cultural contexts, power distance, individualism and other dimensions that directly influence managerial decision-making and strategic planning in transnational corporations. Particular attention is paid to the identification and classification of barriers (verbal, non-verbal, value-based, psychological and organisational), as well as the development of strategies to overcome them through the implementation of diversity and inclusion principles and the enhancement of staff intercultural competence. The study examined the impact of digital transformation on collaboration within remote international teams and identified specific digital and technological barriers. It demonstrated the need to adapt communication strategies (in particular, content localisation) to minimise reputational and financial risks in global markets. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the integration of classical models with modern digital analysis tools (Big Data, network analysis), which allows for the formation of a systematic methodological framework to enhance the effectiveness of international projects within a dynamic socio-cultural space.

INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL ECONOMY OF POST-IMPERIAL STERLING: FROM EXORBITANT PRIVILEGE TO NEO-DEPENDENT RESILIENCE IN THE GLOBAL MONETARY HIERARCHY

2026-05-01T15:56:43+03:00

The article reconceptualises sterling’s post-imperial role as an institutionally determined regime in which monetary reach stems less from economic mass than from jurisdictional authority, London market infrastructure, and credible crisis backstops. It defines a “sterling order” as an infrastructural–juridical configuration and shows how English-law contracting, network externalities, sterling-collateral liquidity, and Bank of England interventions sustain conditional resilience while reproducing hierarchy and asymmetric distribution. Privilege survives as convenience premia and intermediation rents, while crises transmit via liquidity spirals and confidence shocks. The framework informs the diagnosis of fragilities, non-bank backstops, payment-settlement resilience, and mitigation of unequal burdens.

OPTIMIZATION OF BUSINESS PROCESSES AS THE FOUNDATION FOR THE FORMATION OF A STABILIZATION FRAMEWORK IN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

2026-05-01T15:14:02+03:00

The purpose of the article is to substantiate an approach to the formation of a stabilization framework in corporate governance based on enhancing process performance and integrating digital control tools. The study aims to identify applied mechanisms for aligning strategic priorities with the company’s operational activities under conditions of increasing market uncertainty and turbulence. The analytical section is based on the systematization of managerial parameters within the corporate structure, a comparative analysis of process efficiency indicators, and a quantitative assessment of the impact of deviations on financial results. Structural analysis tools, modeling of integral stability indicators, and the development of applied matrices for evaluating managerial decisions were employed. The article proposes a conceptual model of the stabilization framework that integrates strategic, process, control, and digital levels of governance. Key parameters for the quantitative assessment of stability are defined, and it is demonstrated that the integration of KPIs with process indicators reduces managerial risks and enhances decision coherence. Applied analytical tools have been developed to identify critical deviations, forecast the impact of external shocks, and optimize resource allocation. The proposed approach can be used by company executives to build a system for monitoring process performance, improve strategic planning procedures, and enhance the adaptability of the corporate structure. The implementation of integrated digital solutions contributes to reducing decision-making time and minimizing transaction costs. The study also found that the introduction of quantitative indicators of process flexibility and resilience reduces response time to external shocks and increases the accuracy of strategic forecasting. The originality of the research lies in the development of an applied model of the corporate governance stabilization framework based on the quantitative measurement of process efficiency and ensuring the systematic integration of strategic and operational management levels within the company.
