Methodological approach to assessing the efficiency of socio-economic systems development
The paper presents a methodological approach to a comprehensive assessment of the efficiency of complex socio-economic systems. Most socio-economic systems are dynamic systems that change over time, and discrete systems, which is determined by the peculiarity of collecting statistical data characterizing them. We identified the relationship between the main directions of the comprehensive assessment of the efficiency of such systems (effectiveness, optimality and economy) with the types of system development and showed that each of these main directions should be evaluated in statics, dynamics and stability coordinates. Two methods of estimation are formulated: the estimation of dynamics of investigated system and comparison of investigated system dynamics with a normative model, or a reference system or a group of similar systems. The indicators for estimating the statics, dynamics and stability are proposed. We also describe the mathematical methods (dispersion, regression, factor and cluster analyzes), which can be used to form a comprehensive assessment of the efficiency and to identify the patterns of development for complex socio-economic systems. The developed approach can be used to assess the development of enterprises, industries, territories, including territorial innovation systems. One of the applications can be the creation of dynamic indices and ratings that take into account the estimates of the statics, dynamics and stability of the compared objects.
