THE LAWS OF THE REGULATION OF ECONOMIC SYSTEMS

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of constructing the optimal structure of the Ukrainian agro-food complex. The author gives the justification and the formulation of laws of regulation of the economic systems. The study of the laws of the development of systems is an actual scientific problem. However, in the scientific literature there are few studies that are devoted to the problems of regularities in the regulation of economic systems. In the research the author did the following. The analysis of network structures was carried out. It is established that clusters are the leading forms of the network structure. Clusters are the key subjects of the system. Based on the works of the Nobel Prize winner V. Leontief, the influence of key actors on the economic system was determined. The obtained conclusions allowed formulating the laws of regulation of systems. The first law of regulation established that economic entities within the network structure compete for common resources in the process of their joint use to provide key actors. The second law determines that the key actors of the network structure influence the development and stability of the economic environment. The third law establishes a cascading effect of spreading influence. Key actors create strong indirect effects that spread through the logistical cascades of the system. The fourth law establishes a regulating mode of the network structure, which depends on the size of the system. The fifth law establishes the relationship between the numbers of subjects in the system from the intensity of resource flows. The density of actors in the network structure depends on the amount of available resources and the stability of its flow. The sixth law determines the possibility of exiting the constraints of density-dependent regulation by migration. Spreading the key subjects beyond the network structure increases the volume of production, and establishes control over the stability of the donor system. The results allow us to state that the optimal parameters of the network structure depend on the characteristics of the environment: stability and the amount of available resources.
