The Evolution of the Concept of "Investment Climate" in the Transition Economy of Russia
The article is of a theoretical and methodological nature, where the investment climate is considered from the standpoint of a systematic approach not only as a set of factors and the territory of economic activity, but also as a complex socio-economic system of objects and subjects of investment activity ranging from the individual to development institutions. In the study of the concepts of investment climate and financial infrastructure, the general theory of systems was applied, built on axiomatic premises, in which any object of the surrounding material and spiritual environment is considered as an object-system, a set of sets. In the methodological plane, it is very important to disclose (detail) such a little-studied component (subsystem) of the investment climate as the comfort of life. This and the previous research conducted by the author provided the prerequisites for clarifying and updating the concept of investment climate and its applied use.
