The overall economic development of a national economy depends on the development of individual economic and noneconomic activities. Agriculture as an economic activity occupies a significant place in the overall development process of a country. The dependence of agriculture on natural conditions such as climate, geographical location, quality and other characteristics of the land, has the consequence that the contribution of agriculture to the overall economic development will not be the same depending on the above factors. The place and importance of agriculture in the overall economic development varies depending on the observation period because there are differences related to key development factors, as well as the place and importance of agriculture in the overall economic development. The participation of agriculture in the overall economic structure is especially important, although this certainly does not mean that countries with a higher share of agriculture in the economic structure reach higher levels of development. Countries with a large share of agriculture in the economic structure are usually underdeveloped or less developed, while in developed countries the share of agriculture in the economic structure is at a very low level. In a large number of countries, agriculture is still the main economic activity with which the largest number of inhabitants is engaged in proportion. The subject of this paper refers to the contribution to the development of agriculture from the aspect of its role and importance in the overall economic development.

AbstractThe research measures the driving force of innovation in economic structure transition. In order to change the pattern of economic development, China is implementing a strategy of innovation-driven development. China’s capacity of innovation has been increasing, especially since 2012, and China’s innovations have taken a leap-forward development. Nowadays, innovation has become a main driving force in China’s economic development and hi-tech industries particularly make a great contribution. Although China’s tertiary industry has been dominant and its share in three industrial sectors has been exceeding 50% since 2015, a problem still exists in China’s economy that the proportions of primary and secondary industries are relatively higher compared with developed countries. In this paper we use PLSR model to measure the impact of innovation on China’s economic structure transition. It is found that innovation can expand the tertiary industry through shrinking the proportions of primary and secondary industries, transforming China’s economic structure into a more advanced pattern. Additionally, China is also devoting itself to the “Belt and Road Initiative”, which should be combined with China’s domestic innovation-driven development and realize sustainable development of economy worldwide.

Climate change is the most complex challenge that humankind has had to face in recent times. With each successive generation, redressing the imbalance will be more difficult. Diverse and complex requirements of maintaining life on Earth, collectively called the environment, can be caused both by natural, geophysical factors, and anthropogenic or social factors. There is a lot of evidence that the economic activity of mankind is a major anthropogenic factor in current turmoil of the environment on Earth. Since the middle of the nineteenth century, the anthropogenic impacts on the environment are becoming increasingly important, and undoubtedly dominate. Of all forms of economic activity the greatest impact have the activities related to energy production and use in various sectors. The link between environmental conditions and economic activities has become the subject of separate scientific disciplines that are dynamically developing in the second half of the twentieth century.Economic growth of the economies, especially of developed countries, in seventies and eighties of the twentieth century, drew attention to the growing international economic, political and ecological interdependence, particulary in terms of its ecological outcome. The future economic growth of all countries on the planet thus becoming a global problem.In this context, more attention must be paid to the relationship between population, resources, and environmental outcomes on one side, and long-term sustainable economic development on the other side. In the recent time there have been noticeable the increasing number of problems that are becoming global: economic, social and energy problems, and contain ecological basis. Human decisions and acivities are dependent on ethics and view of the world, and this view depends on the culture, tradition, achieved level of development and so on.Therefore, it is necessary to adjust economic development to climate change, where a great importance plays a cooperation between the public and private sector.

Peculiarities of transformation of the structure of the economy of cities of the Western region of Ukraine are investigated. For this purpose, the spatial concentration of economic activity in the cities of regional significance of the Western region of Ukraine, as well as the speed and intensity of transformation of the structure of their economies are analyzed. Depending on the structure of the economy of cities of regional importance in the base period and the intensity of structural changes in it during the study period, two types of studied administrative units are identified: 1) cities of regional importance, which retained the profile of economic structure; 2) cities of regional significance, which diversify the structure of the economy.  The latter, in particular, include: a) cities of regional importance — industrial centers that have diversified their activities through the development of the service economy; b) cities of regional significance, which transformed the structure of the economy in the direction of industrial development; c) cities of regional significance, which, despite the multidisciplinary economic structure of the base period, increased in the following years the economic potential only in a certain sector of economic activity; d) other cities of regional significance, in particular those that have changed the vector of economic activity in the direction of development of related industries. The existence of positive trends (higher adaptability of the structure of the economy of the studied administrative units to modern conditions of socio-economic development), as well as negative trends (asymmetry of regional socio-economic development due to concentration of business activity and capital in cities of regional significance; disproportionate sectoral and spatial structural changes) economy of cities of regional importance, strengthening the mono-profile of economic development of individual cities of regional importance in the context of exacerbation of risks of economic activity) in the transformation processes of the economy of cities of regional importance.

Summary Small and middle enterprises (SME) are becoming more and more the subject of interest in developed countries in which small and middle companies represent a factor of development. The developed countries of the word put SME into focus of their economic strategies and programs and- by concrete macro-economic measures- the aimed politics to SME has a direct impact to reduction on business costs and improvement of liquidation (thus, competitive position of SME), through tax bonds. However, BiH still does not develop tax politics and praxis of many developed countries, which causes a lack of attention and improvement of the sector of SME. This is what many research in BiH confirmed. The changes in social-economic system based on the market commerce create suitable conditions for development of various activities which should be profitable and keep up with the development, with continuous adaptation to constant changes on market, which gives the advantage to SME or, so called, small business. Such companies most often represent the collision of ownership, management and risk, so the knowledge and skill needed for successful management include a very wide range.

Developing And Developed Countries

The issue of development has been widely discussed during the last four decades on social science. For over four decades the subject has been debated and examined from different perspectives. Theoretical perspectives on development have changed in response to the changing historical reality of the development process and of relations between developing and developed countries (Lehmann, 1979; Ardent, Evans and Stephens, 1988). In the 1950s and 1960s, the decades hall-marked by an intense interest in development themes, the classical development model was popular in the world and most countries adopted this strategy to achieve their economic development. In the 1980s, skepticism towards development theories such as modernization and human capital theories produced other development positions, e.g., the dependency school, world system approach, Neo-Marxism and so on.

Positive Potential

Suggests that advertising has a greater influence on spending habits and life style in lesser‐developed areas than in wealthier ones – this potential imposes certain responsibilities on marketers as well as offering opportunities for balanced economic and social development of the countries concerned. Stresses that production has always been considered more respectable than distribution, and the role of the ‘middlemen’ has drawn more suspicion. States that neglecting positive potential of marketing has prevented any analysis of the possible dysfunctional effects of commercial marketing – attempts to suggest the extent of the power that lies with marketers in less‐developed countries. Concludes that if marketing techniques are viewed as valuable tools to be used in accelerating the development process, economic activity will be stimulated rather than stifled, and the increase in national income will help to contribute to a better future for all.

Cooperative Association

The purpose of this paper is to point out the importance of the cooperative as an economic entity, through representation of modern trends of cooperative association in Europe and beyond. Through their association, cooperative development covers key connecting factors of individuals, while finding models for reducing the differences between cooperatives as economic entities and companies for the benefit of companies. The subject of research in the paper represents an analytics of cooperatives and the need for new legal solutions, which would support the development of cooperatives as independent economic entities in the future. The key hypothesis the paper starts with is that cooperative association is of great importance in dealing with many economic, market and sociological challenges, which is of special significance for the economic development of our country. The previous legal solutions of the cooperative association, in addition to positive changes, have not given expected results so far. In the conclusion, it is pointed out that legally regulated area of cooperatives as specific economic subjects is the foundation of development of their economic activity. Based on the critical illumination of the cooperative legislation, recommendations are given for its improvement, while taking into account the ever-present needs for improving the business of cooperatives and their convergence with the business of other economic entities.

There are many studies focused on the role of economic freedom in creating conditions supportive for economic growth. Most of the recommendations in this area are based on the observations of the highly developed countries. But is it reasonable to generalize these findings to other countries, independently from their conditions? Contemporarily, the number of the research conducted for the countries outside the world's forefront is growing. Results are varied – some elements of economic freedom seem to be effective unconditionally, some of them bring different results. The aim of the paper is to examine the role of such factors as a stage of economic development, geographical location, and culture in the context of the efficacy of economic freedom. The study was conducted with usage of regression models for panel data and based on the indicators connected with economic freedom and economic growth.

Work Done

Interest in the consequences for economic activity of the development of disease, preventive medicine, and of other public health problems is not exactly new. Professor Sigerist, in many ways the doyen of the subject, summarized our background quite well in 1941. “We are”, he wrote, “often inclined to believe that the economic approach to medical problems is new, that we inaugurated it. This is not the case …. Max von Pettenkofer in Munich, reasoned very much along the same lines as we do today” [18:2]. Thus, I have precedent for citing work done in this very city as the logical place to start my discussion. One could, as indeed Sigerist himself did, argue that von Pettenkofer (upon whose work I shall base this analysis) wrote with the knowledge of earlier writers like Chadwick, Simon, Snow, and Budd. But, I am inclined to accept Sigerist's assessment of von Pettenkofer's importance and use his two public lectures as the springboard from which to launch my discussion.
