Critical infrastructure in the system of production and financial and economic relations "input-output"

Abstract

The production process in the system of economic cycle of the national economy, as well as the relevant tools for the study of production processes, is considered. The production infrastructure of the national economy is studied as an important part of critical infrastructure, reproduction processes. Production is considered in the context of the formation of added value by large groups of types of economic activity, at the institutional and regional levels, in the context of making management decisions at the macro- and microeconomic levels. The inter-industry balance sheet tools are defined as the basic one for assessing production processes and their criticality. To this end, aggregated three-sector input-output tables in producer’s prices for a number of countries have been prepared. Within their framework, the sectoral structure of the economy is considered, direct costs and full costs (Leontief matrix) are determined, indicators of criticality of the production infrastructure are determined. It is proposed to assess the criticality of production infrastructure using such parameters as the share of gross added value in output, the cost of sectors and the economy as a whole, the coefficients of impact and recall, the classification of industries into key, with direct and inverse impact, etc. Comparative studies of criticality indicators for a number of countries were carried out, in particular, direct costs and derivative indicators of criticality of the production system (Frobenius number, Frobenius vector, etc.) were determined. The proposed approaches to improving the parameters of criticality of the production infrastructure of the Ukrainian economy were worked out.
