Экономический анализ влияния показателей финансовой устойчивости на экономический рост в Ираке в 2004-2022 гг.
Автором статьи проведен экономический анализ влияния показателей финансовой устойчивости на экономический рост в Ираке.Результаты анализы дают представление о будущих значениях показателях финансовой устойчивости и позволяют выявить факторы, оказывающие влияние на показатели финансовой устойчивости. Исследование направлено на проверку гипотезы о том, что существует обратная корреляция между направленностью инструментов финансовой политики и показателями финансовой устойчивости. В ходе исследования было сделано много выводов, наиболее важным из которых является существование обратной зависимости между темпами роста налоговых поступлений и общим государственным долгом к индексу валового внутреннего продукта, а экономическая стабильность представляет собой необходимое условие для роста. Исследование показало, что показатель отношения государственного долга к ВВП является одним из наиболее распространенных и часто используемых заинтересованными странами и учреждениями при оценке уровня долга. Соотношение государственного долга к ВВП в Ираке, а также выбор соответствующего подхода к составлению бюджета и не принятие ряда бюджетных статей в нынешних условиях Ирака основано на том факте, что общий бюджет - это финансовый план, составленный для достижения экономических целей и максимально возможного удовлетворения потребностей общества.

The role of the state in introducing ESG factors into corporate activities: the Indian experience
This article analyzes how companies in India implement the national policy on disclosing ESG information.The author has analyzed voluntary and legislative initiatives to consider ESG factors in corporate activities, reviewed key national regulators promoting ESG disclosure policies, identified measures of government support for the corporate ESG agenda, and found that the main driver of ESG implementation in India is the state, not private initiatives. At the same time, there are pros and cons to strengthening state control over Indian companies' ESG reporting. On the one hand, this process creates a new large market for financial instruments, including those related to clean energy, and new jobs. On the other hand, there is weak enforcement of new ESG legislation, increased costs for companies, and greenwashing. The results of this study will be of interest to researchers and consultancies working on sustainable development, as well as to public authorities in various countries involved in the development of national ESG agendas.

Improving microfinance sector regulation tools
The article is devoted to the analysis of the processes associated with the transformation of the tools of regulation of the microfinance sector amidst uncertainty caused by the impact of external and internal factors in the process of digital transformation. The microfinance sector has a special social role, providing temporary income gaps for individuals and financial support to small and medium-sized businesses. The institutional structure of this sector and the specifics of the funding process determine the need to adapt to it the new regulatory instruments used and applied by the Bank of Russia. Disclosure of the microfinance sector risks allows to determine that the regulatory activities of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation are aimed at consolidating the sector, providing the redistribution of clients, who have left the market, between more stable organizations. Microfinance organizations that are unable to adapt to the conditions of increasing competition are forced to leave the market.

Approaches to the diffusion processes of institutional innovation outcomes
The article is devoted to clarifying the theoretical and methodological contours of the study of institutional innovation as a type of deviant behavior.Currently, in the conditions of intensive transformation of public relations, the process of changing formal and informal institutions is underway. This creates conditions for the intensification of institutional innovation.At the same time, this type of behavior is often interpreted as deviant, which actualizes the study of not only the causes of deviant behavior in general, but also the factors of the emergence of institutional innovation in particular. At the same time, in retrospect, the results of institutional innovation undergo a process of diffusion. This makes it necessary to study not only the process of institutional innovation, but also the perception of its results by society.This article describes the factors of creating a model of deviant behavior of the type of institutional innovator, as well as the diffusion processes of institutional innovation outcomes.The results obtained in the article may be of interest to the scientific and academic community of higher education interested in studying institutional innovation in the context of its interpretation as deviant behavior.

From a resource enclave to a resource and innovation cluster
The enclave nature of the development of the raw materials sector in the region leads to the fact that the implementation of large-scale projects for the development of deposits of raw materials does not generate significant socio-economic effects and does not contribute to the balanced sustainable development of the regional economy. An alternative model for the development of the raw materials sector is the resource and innovation cluster. The article presents the features of the resource and innovation cluster and reveals its importance for the regional economy. On the basis of the proposed methodology, the possibilities and potential of the formation of an oil and gas resource and innovation cluster in the Krasnoyarsk Territory are evaluated. The results obtained allow to conclude that there is sufficient potential for the formation of an oil and gas resource and innovation cluster in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. However, the transition from an enclave model of the development of the raw materials sector to a resource and innovation cluster requires certain efforts of regional authorities. The article discusses the main measures that stimulate the formation of a resource and innovation cluster.Acknowledgments:The research was carried out with the plan of research work of IEIE SB RAS, project 5.6.3.2.

A model for managing the competitiveness of business entities by expanding the impact of advertising tools in the context of the intellectualization of innovative changes
The increasing influence of geopolitical and geo-economic factors on mutually beneficial market partnerships with foreign business structures in medicine negatively affects the provision of the national economy with medical supplies: various types of medicines, goods, medical products, etc. The access of domestic business structures to modern technologies in science-intensive areas of medicine is limited.This require large-scale import substitution and expansion of the introduction of domestic high-tech innovative products into practical healthcare that can contribute to the preservation and strengthening of the health of the Russian population. Effective marketing and behavioral adaptation of medical institutions under the conditions of the mobilization factor, based on the expansion of import-substituted medical products, becomes a source of competitive advantages in the field of medical services. An expanding set of advertising and marketing tools through the implementation of the principles of contextual advertising 2.0 in the process of resource-compensation management of business development, taking into account the multidirectional influence of a multi-vector set of factors, allows achieving the desired result while increasing the trust of target consumers in the range of medical services. The communication permeability of partners in the communication fields created by the structures of the medical sphere can contribute to the achievement of marketing and behavioral sufficiency in synchronizing the behavioral reactions of the interacting parties to receive the desired set of medical services by the target customers of the medical market. The proposed model of managing the competitiveness of subjects of the medical services market implements rational marketing and behavioral adaptation of consumers to the challenges of a turbulent market and the needs of target consumers in the context of the intellectualization of innovative changes by improving communication channels between medical institutions and the population based on contextual advertising 2.0, as well as by attracting business structures that informatively ensure such interaction.

Methodological approaches to evaluating technological sovereignty projects of machine tool companies of the country
The study shows the main factors influencing the priority of choosing projects to ensure the technological sovereignty of the machine tool industry. The authors' definition of the concept of technological sovereignty is given. The method of expert assessments is presented and tested when choosing priority projects to ensure technological sovereignty. Meanwhile, there are no unambiguous methods for evaluating technological sovereignty projects to date. Traditional methods of evaluating investment projects on technological sovereignty can be used, but these projects have their own characteristics.Thus, new approaches to the methodology of evaluating these projects are needed. Accordingly, the technological sovereignty of the machine tool industry of the country is the technological independence of the strategic industries of the industry, taking into account the nomenclature of production equipment and the share of domestic innovation in technology competing with advanced technology and samples of finished products of world leaders. In the process of testing the methodology for assessing the priority of projects to ensure technological sovereignty on the example of the Ivanovo machine-building company, it was revealed that according to the Technical and Economic Criterion, Production Readiness for Changes and Financial and Economic Parameters have the highest priority. According to the Personnel Criterion, Personnel Readiness to Work in New Conditions and Labor Productivity have the highest priority. According to the Information Criterion, Production Capacity and Energy the most priority have the highest priority. According to the criterion of Financial and Economic parameters, Financial sustainability and Input Intensity have the highest priority. Finally, according to the Risk Criterion, Risky Commercial Parameters and Risky Financial Parameters have the highest priority.

Development of the green economy and its impact on the economic security of swamp ecosystems
The article discusses the concept of green economy in relation to swamp ecosystems, which are the most significant in ecological terms and at the same time the most vulnerable type of natural biotopes. Economic losses from restrictions on the use of raw materials exceeding the maximum permissible concentration of caesium-137 leads to a significant decrease in the efficiency of environmental management of swamp ecosystems. The article substantiates the application of remediation measures and economic mechanisms of environmental management to achieve sustainable land management. The author proposes a model for assessing the economic and environmental efficiency of remediation of swamp ecosystems, which will allow, based on the analysis of the distribution of caesium-137 in peat soil and ecosystem components by its specific activity, to estimate the planned costs of remediation and, comparing with the economic damage from abandoning the use of polluted natural resources, to calculate the economic and environmental efficiency of the remediation process swamp ecosystems.

The article examines the marketplace segmentation and sales funnel features. The development of electronic platforms can be called rapid and not subject to the laws of price competition. Trends in recent years show an increasing interest in online shopping, regardless of prices and choices. The marketplace acts as an information intermediary between sellers and potential customers, who can select and compare offers in one place and get acquainted with product reviews. The marketplace segmentation features by models and by categories of goods and services are considered. Electronic marketplaces are receiving accelerated development in modern conditions. The authors note that there are a large number of segments in which their own electronic sales platforms are developing. Market leaders are enlarging due to the transformation of the market infrastructure; and the sales funnel is being modified. In the course of the study, authors come to the conclusion that the main marketing methods of working with potential buyers in the modern development of marketplaces are no longer price and other types of competition. The main ways to attract and retain customers are the sales funnel and recommendation technologies for deeper customer segmentation.
