Методический инструментарий анализа технологического цикла на уровне региональных экономических систем
This study is dedicated to identifying the essence of technological processes as
a component of the modern macroeconomic cycle based on the development and testing of
methodological tools for its analysis at the level of regional economic systems. On the basis
of comparing the definitions of a technological cycle, the author’s own interpretation of the
concept was proposed based on the use of the recurrent approach. An algorithm was proposed
for analysis of the technological cycle, which includes the goal, four subordinates to it, including
the resulting block. The developed methodological toolkit is aimed at determining the current
phase of the modern technological cycle using different approaches to analysis, serving as the
basis for grouping regions according to the level of development of the technological component
of the modern macroeconomic cycle and subsequent identification of basic trends for each group
of regions that determine the dominant vector of their development. Testing of the proposed
methodological tools allowed one to assert that in the regions holding the leading positions, crisisdepressive
tendencies predominate in recently developed and advanced production technologies
in use in combination with the progressive dynamics in terms of the value of fixed assets together
with continued reduction in their depreciation. In the regions that occupy middle positions, the
prevalence of crisis-depressive tendencies is most clearly seen in the developed and advanced
production technologies being used against the background of the onset of the progressive dynamics
of the value of fixed assets and an increase in their depreciation. The regions lagging behind are
characterized by unstable dynamics in developed and advanced production technologies being
used with a significant lag in indicators measuring the depreciation of fixed production assets
and their value. The results can form the basis for the development of directions and methods for
managing technological processes in a group of regions, or in each specific region.
