Анализ деловой неопределенности с помощью LC-кривых
The LC-curve method, a new approach to time series analysis, was applied to the composite Business Uncertainty Index (BUI), based on the results of regular Rosstat business surveys, which made it possible to analyze uncertainty trajectories across Russia's enlarged industries and sub-sectors using two index specifications: ex-ante (forecast) and ex-post (actual). The results of the empirical analysis for the period 2020-2024 have shown the high sensitivity of LC-curves to shocks of the business environment, their relevance for assessing the stages of business activity in various industries. Thus, both crisis periods included in the time interval of the study, namely 2020 and 2022, were successfully identified in the dynamics of the plotted curves, and it was shown that the pandemic had a more serious negative impact. At the same time, according to their forecast dynamics, in 2025 the industry will enter a phase of slowing growth. Special attention is paid to the analysis of medium-high and high-tech industries, among which the industries that demonstrate the greatest stability and potentially play a key role in the structural transformation of the economy are highlighted.
