THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF OPTIMIZATION OF THE BRANCH STRUCTURE OF THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE TRANSFORMATIONAL ECONOMY OF KYRGYZSTAN
This article discusses the issues of modeling economic processes in a transformational economy. The main feature of modeling is that it is a method of indirect cognition using objects - substitutes. The model acts as a kind of tool and with the help of which it studies the object of interest. It is this feature of the modeling method that determines the specific forms of using abstractions, analogies, hypotheses, other categories and methods of cognition. Modeling means the process as a result of which a model will be built, with its help the functioning of objects of various natures is studied. The formulation of abstractions and inferences on similar situations, as well as the concentration of scientific hypotheses must be included in this process. The need to use the modeling method is determined by the fact that many objects (or problems related to these objects) cannot be directly investigated, or the research requires a lot of time and money. The results of economic and mathematical research provide answers to many important questions of economic science.
