The article is devoted to the study of the formation and the improvement of the logistics costs management system to ensure sustainable development of economic agents at different levels. The purpose of the article is to determine the role of logistics costs and systematize the prerequisites for improving approaches to logistics costs management in the system of sustainable development of economic agents. The study is based on the use of general and special scientific methods of scientific knowledge: method of system analysis, the system-structural method etc. Ensuring sustainable development is prerequisite for the formation of the sufficient level of competitiveness of economic agents. The assessment of Ukraine’s logistics activities in the world ranking is performed in the article. Directions of the development of global logistics are systematized. Developed logistics infrastructure is the prerequisite for investment and innovation development of business structures, region’s economic systems, and the state within the framework of international cooperation. The structure of logistics costs of modern business structures is analyzed in the article. The main trends in the formation of logistics costs are the growth of total logistics costs in the context of globalization, of growth of requirements for the sustainable development; the logistics services costs as a percentage of sales in value terms is constantly growing; components of logistics costs have different trends; smaller business structures have higher specific logistics costs etc. Active use of modern technologies in logistics activities to ensure compliance with the requirements of sustainable development is an important factor logistics costs increasing. The degree of dependence of the economic agent on the procurement, transport, warehousing, information and other areas of logistics determines the approaches to optimizing logistics costs of the economic agent. Logistics can have a negative impact on the socio-economic sphere and the ecosystem. This impact causes to additional costs for economic agents. Identifying problems and forming approaches to effective management of logistics costs of economic agents at the micro- and macro levels, taking into account the requirements of sustainable development is the subject of further research.

Circumpolar territories and the regions related to the Arctic are those rich with natural resources. They have a high potential for the development of mining and extractive industries. The abundance with resources makes the North increasingly attractive for investments. However, circumpolar territories are characterized by peculiar socio-economic, natural, and climatic conditions which taken together frequently pose a negative impact on people and hinder the exploration opportunities of the Arctic resources. In global, regional, and sub-regional levels, the development of the Arctic is heavily regulated by multilateral international treaties. However, the issues of monitoring and assessment of the sustainable development of the Arctic remain open, which stems from the absence of agreed criteria and indicators for assessing sustainability in the context of national, regional, and scientific approaches. It necessitates the development of a specific methodological approach to the establishment of a system to monitor and assess the sustainable development of the Arctic.

Selection Of

The selection of indicators for the Observatory of Sustainability of the Algarve Region for Tourism (OBSERVE), poses challenges, namely which indicators are relevant to stakeholders and how to assure that information is available. To support the selection of the environmental, sociocultural, economic and institutional indicators, an engagement process was designed and applied, which included meetings with stakeholders, a workshop and an online survey. The results showed that both workshop and online surveys reflected, in general, similar opinions, thus allowing the selecting of the sustainable development indicators for the Algarve region. Additionally, the results showed that nearly 75% of the indicators can be obtained from national statistics and, therefore, can be used on the OBSERVE project, assuring a quick flow of information. As limitations, it is important to mention that the other 25% will need further development, in order to provide data for indicators, like carbon management and client satisfaction. With this approach, the observatory will survey and evaluate the sustainable development of the region (status and trends), based on indicators that answer to the strategic needs of system’s main users, with social and economic implications, i.e., public institutions, economic agents, tourists, local communities and residents.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of corruption control on capital flight in the least corrupt African countries. Design/methodology/approach Using panel data covering the period of 1996-2010. Findings The results show that the extent of corruption, the total natural resources rent are statistically significant and affect positively the capital across the pooled, random and fixed effects. Inflation and economic growth are also found to have a negative impact on capital flight. Moreover, the exchange rate has a negative and significant effect on capital flight. Practical implications The findings of this study suggest that the extent of corruption control by responsible institutions can be considered as one of the most effective weapons in the fight against capital flight in the least corrupt African countries. Social implications The paper recommends to the government of the least corrupt countries in Africa to create an enabling political and economic environment for investor’s attractiveness. This, in turn, will reduce the occurrence of capital flight and lead to the sustainable development. Originality/value The findings of this study suggest that the extent of corruption control by responsible institutions can be considered as one of the most effective weapons in the fight against capital flight in the least corrupt African countries. The paper recommends to the government of the least corrupt countries in Africa to create an enabling political and economic environment for investor’s attractiveness. This, in turn, will reduce the occurrence of capital flight and lead to the sustainable development.
