Abstracts
The paper contains an analysis on the status
and up-grading perspectives of NA system of Ukraine. Thus, the analysis covers
aspects such as information base for NA compilation, NA by sector, introduction
of classifications in NA of Ukraine, quarterly NA algorithms. Emphasis is also
made on elaboration of legal documentation on compilation of NA of Ukraine,
institutional aspects of coordinated actions of ministries and governmental
departments as main designers of NA, planning of NA implementation in Ukraine.
Subject to the authors’ discussion are
terminological aspects of the notions “accuracy”, “reliability”,
“authenticity”, requirements to these indicators, and ways to meet these in the
practice of statistical data analysis. In focus are issues concerning accuracy
and reliability of the data from statistical sample observations, and specifics
of their algorithms. Offered are tables that show correlation between the
indicators of statistical sample observations (including sample size,
coefficient of variation, marginal error ratio, error probability ratio) and
allow users to derive required estimates on the indicators they are interested
in, in an easier way.
The authors examine algorithm of gross
production output in agriculture applied in the USSR and in Ukraine over the
latest years. It’s emphasized, that the key methodological approach in deriving
production output in plant growing and cattle breeding today should be
implemented through comparison of production output in the basic period and
that of the corresponding period of a current year. The authors offer
algorithms of monthly production output in agriculture in the basic period and
current year.
Subject to the authors’ analysis is algorithm
of value of city areas, different approaches to valuation of land plots,
economic, physical and administrative factors and components forming the value
of land, legislative, legal and methodological basis of valuation of land
plots. Emphasis in made on significance of the policies pursued by local
self-administration bodies in respect of land market and their powers to ensure
stable city development.
Measurement of “Shadow” Sector on the Basis of Analysing Income Structure of the Enterprises
The author offers an algorithm to measure
“shadow” proportion (“hiding” rate) of income in industrial sector by analyzing
the structure of gross income of an enterprise involving a set of indexes and
objective factors (factor analysis). This approach may be applied in analyzing
the performance results of an individual enterprise or a group of similar
enterprises, as well as at microlevel. Systems and algorithms designed by this
approach with involvement of a comprehensive database enable to systematize a
large number of enterprises by characteristics such as income hiding and tax
escape.
Statistical Observation of Informal Economic Sector of Ukraine: Improvement Areas
The paper is devoted to the issues of
establishing the national statistical monitoring of employment in informal
sector in Ukraine. The discussion deals with the existing system of information
support, with measured proposed that would aim to up-grade the performance of
existing observations of households (covering economic activity, living
conditions of households), as well as some other statistical observations.
Conceptual and Methodological Approaches to Studies into Regional Dimension of Human Development
The author explains the meaning of the basic
concept of human development, its specifics and aspects in the Ukrainian
context. On the basis of multidimensional statistical analysis, the author has
designed a unique algorithm for main sets of indicators and individual ones
used to measure regional variations of human development. Also the author’s
representation covers the estimates on integral indexes of human development
and index of regional human development on the basis of data over 1999.
The author highlights basic methodological
approaches to environmental performance algorithm at regional level, and the
issues relating to information supply required for natural and mineral
resources exploitation and environmental protection.
The author sets out statistics on water uses in
Ukraine and Zhitomir region, describing the performance today. Shown are the
problems of rational consumption of water in the conditions of economic and
ecological crisis, with conclusion concerning the need to employ economic
methods to regulate water uses and water protection measures.
Commentaries on the Law of Ukraine “On the Ukrainian National Population Census”
The paper contains the comment on the contents
and legal rulings on all the articles of the Law of Ukraine “On the Ukrainian
National Population Census” adopted by the Parliament of Ukraine on 19 October
2000, reconciling of some with relevant rulings of other Ukrainian laws, as
well as alterations made in course of preparation of the law to the Code of
Ukraine on administrative offences.
Children’s Labour in Ukraine (based on the results from the sample survey)
The author gives the results and conclusions
from 5 rounds of the sample survey on children’s labour in all the regions of
the country covering January 1999 – April 2000, held following Agreement between
the International Labour Office and the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine
within the framework of International Programme of Elimination of Childen’s
Labour (IPEC).
The authors describe information &
computing activities as such, their components, especially information products
(IP). The discussion also concerns the performance of information market in
Ukraine and its specific components, the contribution of official statistics in
this area, the measures taken by the Committee that aim to secure the
Committee’s high performance standards and position as an information products
supplier. Also, there’s an overview of the activities by Derzhstatinform (State
Statistical Information Provider).
Approaches to
Algorithm of Leasing Rates
The paper concerns the procedure and requirements to leasing of enterprises as a whole or their individual units, realty and other types of property, algorithms of leasing rates. Also, information in the paper covers legislative rules, legal rulings, decrees, letters and orders issued by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, individual ministries, the State Statistics Committee and the State Property Fund, that would guide one in compiling leasing contracts and calculating leasing rates, including the case of indexation of initial value of fixed assets.
The paper outlines life path and scientific accomplishments of E.E.Slutsky, a prominent Ukrainian researcher in mathematics, statistics, economics. The overview of his research works concerns “Introduction to the Theory of a Consumer’s Balanced Budget of” (1915), “A Sketch on the Problem of Formation of Formal & Pracseological Foundations of Economics” (1926), “Adding up of Irregular Factors as a Source of Cyclical Processes” (1927), acknowledged worldwide, with emphasis on pioneering character of their key ideas.
