Abstract The role of ensuring the economy of the country as factors of production for its competitiveness in the world markets of goods and services is substantiated. It is proved that the artificial reduction of the share in the production function of one of the factors leads to an increase in its price (share) in the national product. This gave a chance to scientifically and methodologically substantiate the position according to which emerging market countries must form an effective aggregate demand through the formation of the middle class and any slowing down in this direction leads to curtailment of economic development. Instead, the uneven distribution of the global economy is spreading and the death penalty is formed, which consumption costs are motivated by scientific and technological progress.   Key words: International labour migration, factors of production, middle class, foreign direct investment, downsizing, jobs, distribution, labour productivity.

Abstract This article deals with changes of a spatial structure of the world economy, which has complex and heterogeneous hierarchy. It specifies that multipurposeness and complex structuring are becoming global signs of regionalization processes and highlights the enhanced role of regional competitiveness within the context of global transformation. The emphasis is laid upon the objectiveness of the global regionalization process, which characterizes processes of the world economy development whilst global regions are becoming its main system elements. This paper stresses that global regionalization development is reflected through a new global space structure. It suggests a methodic toolbox of comprehensive assessment of regional integration development processes with due consideration of various aspects (trade, industrial and market integration), which provides for a comparative analysis of global regions` development or of certain integration associations according to the development level of integration processes on the basis of suggested integrated index.   Key words: Region, global region, regionalization, global regionalization, new regionalism

Abstract Using the method of system dynamics, hypotheses about functioning of the mechanism of energy saving stimulation in buildings and its ecologization tools have been proposed and tested. The results of the survey conducted by domestic and foreign experts were used as the main empirical data for analysis and modeling. The constructed simulation models have allowed to prove the advisability of using multicriteria assessment of energy saving measures effectiveness, as well as to test the recommendations we propose concerning ecologization of the energy saving process by integrating environmental and social assessments into the rules for making investment decisions. Methods of system dynamics revealed undesirable consequences and points of resistance, which can cause the failure of the proposed intervention   Key words: Ecological measures of thermo-modernization, simulation modeling, investments in energy saving, the mechanism of stimulation, system dynamics.
