Abstract:

The article describes the modern world experience in the formation and development of the system of economic evaluation of environmental investments. Approaches to the formation of the discount rate using dynamic methods of evaluating the effectiveness of investments are analyzed. An analysis of world experience in the economic evaluation of environmental investments. It is established that the methods of economic evaluation of environmental investments require adjustment of the main investment parameters - the amount of investment payments, the duration of the planned horizon, the discount rate - taking into account the specifics of such investments. The article identifies a high level of environmental risk and higher amounts of invested capital as specific features of environmental investments. This primarily applies to the methodology of economic evaluation of environmental investments, which are characterized by an increased level of risk, higher cost of capital involved in contrast to traditional investments. It is proposed to consider the conditions for the formation of critical points in the interest rate on the example of an investment designed for five years. The choice of such a planned project implementation horizon is due to the fact that with an odd number of years there is always at least one critical point and under certain conditions, which will be discussed below, there is a possibility of new critical points that expand investment efficiency. It is shown that if the project is designed for an even number of years, the existence of one such point is not always possible. The study confirms that with a certain change in investment parameters there is an expansion or contraction of the safety zone when changing one or more parameters of environmental investment. implementation will be economically feasible for all participants in the investment process.

Abstract:

An informatical innovation is essentially a private business in the life of a venture but the ability of evolution and adaptability of ventures is remarkable for the national economy too. This is why it is important to observe the economical effects of IT investments. The introduction of an information system – as in the cases of other investments – requires pre- and post-calculations for payback of fixed assest, thrift and profitability. The operation of an information system means not only one-off acquisition of instruments and intangible assets, but requires continuous development, version control and improvement of hardware in the sake of conservation. There is a high rate of depreciation of IT investments in Hungary, because such goods change too quickly, together with the economic environment. If the conservation of IT instrument value wanted one has to make new expansions continually. IT specialists have determined some indices, one of which is Total cost of Ownership, which is an important indicator for investment analysis. In practice, there are some other models and methods we can adopt in our analysis. In this paper, I collected several relevant and usable methods for pre analysis of IT projects. Management can adopt these models in his investment process to make sound decisions.

Abstract:

Deciding whether an investment should be made or not requires an evaluation of the investment’s effectiveness. The choice of evaluation methods is related to the basic objective conditioning the implementation of the investment project. It often happens that the conditions in which a specific investment has been formulated change and so does the basis for its implementation, and it is necessary to adapt it to the new conditions. These new conditions could be recognized during the exploitation of the project so it is hard to take them into consideration at the stage of planning. The paper aims to evaluate the investments in commercial real estate with the option of alternative way of usage. This evaluation was carried out using the classical (discounted) methods of economic efficiency of investments and real options. Two groups of pricing real options models were used in the study: binomial models and continuous-time models. Results based on varied valuation methods lead to different conclusions. Unlike the discount methods, the real option approach allows valuing the project flexibility (which cannot be valued by classical methods). This value of flexibility in certain conditions indicates what should be the path of development of the project related with the transformation of commercial real estate for other purposes.

Abstract:

Health research and investments are expensive, and its explicit social, health and economic impacts are hard to define. There are many challenges and assumptions in defining specific returns on investment in health research. In the literature, there is no common approach to evaluate health research impacts. Single criterion methods are generally used with validated indicators to track overall outcomes or outcomes in a specific health research area. These methods have the ability of considering only one criterion at a time, which is usually the cost of the investment. A multicriteria method is proposed for taking care of many conflicting criteria of health research investments. The difficulty of measuring intangible criteria is captured by the fuzzy set theory. Fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used for the selection among four possible health research investment alternatives. A sensitivity analysis is made for the changes in the values of various parameters.

Abstract:

This paper presents a method for assessing the financial viability of a new Freight village financed by private and public investments. The financial evaluation model constitutes four distinct phases, namely (a) site selection and traffic forecasts, (b) definition of services offered and corresponding dimensions, (c) estimation of investment and operation costs and (d) evaluation of investments. Furthermore, the model produces financing scenarios, based on combinations of public and private funds.

Abstract:

Venture capital investments play an important role in the development and growth of start-up companies that are characterized by a high degree of uncertainty and growth potential, and venture capital is also one of the major sources of financing for entrepreneurial businesses. In the case of venture capital investment, staging has a huge potential, so the venture capitalists keep the right to participate in further financing rounds. The real option approach as an evaluation method provides an opportunity to evaluate this kind of investment with the help of flexibility in the case of a high degree of uncertainty. The paper puts the emphasis on the evaluation and the effectiveness of venture capital investments primarily from the aspect of real option theory tested on Hungarian venture capital cases. The paper concludes that the option-based valuation methods are more suitable for evaluating venture capital investments than others, especially the discounted cash flow method.

Abstract:

The article describes the main models and methodological tools for evaluating the effectiveness of investment and innovation measures and mechanisms that have been developed and applied in the economic environment since the mid-twentieth century. The article discusses two directions in the assessment of investments: the direction of market evaluation of the introduction of innovation / investment and the direction of the assessment of the effectiveness of capital investment (investment) in the development of new technology (innovation), which was used in the conditions of non-market (planned) economic system. The article has characteristics about the advantages and disadvantages of both areas. The direction of further development of investment efficiency assessment models is outlined. Keywords: net present value, discounting, economic efficiency of capital investments, reduced costs, indicator of the speed of specific increment in value.

The mechanisms for calculating the effectiveness of innovative investments are complex, that is, they are estimated through a system of indicators. From this point of view, we believe that the inclusion in the mechanism of evaluating the effectiveness of investment projects of commodity product index and its harmonious "integration" into the system of financial and economic indicators can be one of the directions for the further development of evaluation methods of investment efficiency in innovative projects. Keywords: investments, innovations, efficiency, products, costs, profits, taxes.

Abstract:

Abstract The forestry literature generally assumes that the appropriate discount rate to be used in the estimation of a given investment's net present value is the same over its lifetime. However, the values of many alternative investments such as stocks and bonds often reflect term structures that are not flat. That is, the relationship between the number of years to maturity of an investment and that investment's required rate of return is often a significant consideration. This note suggests a procedure for incorporating a consideration of the term structure of interest rates into the determination of a discount rate specific to each annual net cash flow associated with a given long-term forestry investment. Using an actual 10-year case analysis, it was found that the valuation of a timberland tract varied by approximately 11%, depending upon whether or not the term structure of interest rates was recognized.

Abstract:

To analyze and evaluate the investment processes in the regions of Ukraine, it is suggested to use a simulative model that, unlike existing ones, allows to take into account the influence of macroeconomic factors and to predict the future development of the economic system of the regions taking into account their investment potential. The examination of the assessed simulative models of the investment processes in the regions of Ukraine for adequacy is carried out using the determination coefficient and Fisher’s criterion, by which the influence of the most significant economic variables of social and economic development of the regions on the investments formation is determined. Research of the investments impact on the dynamics of economic systems indicators of the regions has shown that 86% of the constructed models are adequate. The presence of statistically significant estimates of model parameters confirms the effectiveness of the proposed approach for conducting research on the analysis and forecasting of the patterns of significant indicators formation of investment activity at the regional level, as well as their impact on indicators of social and economic development.

Abstract:

Abstract Renewable energy sources have become a compelling investment proposition, and investment into renewable power has grown in the recent years. Scale up renewable energy investment is critical to accelerate the global energy transformation and reap its many benefits, while achieving climate and development targets. Public finance institutions provide public money to support public and private sector projects as well as policies and programmes that serve the public good with economic, environmental, or social benefits. Several such institutions have been established and resourced with the aim of supporting renewable energy investments such as: international financial institutions, development finance institutions, local financial institutions, export credit agencies, and climate finance institutions. The main aim of this paper was to analyze the investments provided by this type of institutions in the renewable energy sector in the world with a specific focus on European Union member states in 2009–2016.

Abstract:

Evaluating the costs and benefits of IT projects is currently a major issue for senior general managers. This paper focuses on a particular aspect of the problem: how organizations appraise IT investments in taking the decision whether to go ahead with them or not. The paper looks first at the different roles of evaluation; second at what is done in practice and third at what might be done given the wide range of techniques that are available and the widely different circumstances in which appraisal is undertaken. A speculative heuristic is proposed for matching an evaluation method with a particular situation. The method is presented in the hope of stimulating further research into the matching problem.

Abstract:

AbstractVarious methods have been applied to evaluating the economic viability of public investments in tourism. In this article, we capitalize on the strengths of computable general equilibrium and cost-benefit analytical techniques and develop an integrated approach to evaluating public investments in tourism. We apply the approach to the evaluation of a US$6.25 million investment in tourism in Uruguay from the perspective of a multilateral development bank and a beneficiary government. These perspectives differ in a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) due to the timing of the costs incurred. The integrated approach is powerful in that it captures first and subsequent rounds of investment impacts of benefits and costs; resource diversion and constraints are accounted for, and the estimation of benefits is consistent with the welfare economics underpinnings of CBA.

Abstract:

Nowadays, the realization of public, infrastructural investments in the area of environmental protection, is inseparably connected with financing them from various sources, public and private. The majority of funds which finance the investments like this, have very strict criterions of economical and financial evaluation of investment project. Although the public proecologic infrastructural investments concern the area of public services, they are treated like typical economical undertakings by financial institutions. Often , it turns out that well prepared and well organized undertaking does not meet the economical or financial demands of the fund which finances the investment. It is worth, then , to pay attention to some issues about criterions of economical and financial evaluation which are used in respect of public, infrastuctural, proecological investments. The author focused on criterions which are universal so that they recognized and used by many financial institutions and European Committee, European Investment Bank and National Fund of Environmental Protection and Water Economy.

Abstract:

Investment attractiveness of a country, and approaches to its evaluation have been thoroughly debated over few last decades. Initially, the key question concerned the reasons as to why large number of resource holders (financial funds, technologies, management systems etc.) would locate their assets, especially research and development projects, in other countries rather than remaining in their home economies. Increasing the quantity and quality of contacts with developed countries within investment process is crucially important for the development of Ukrainian economy. As follows from that point, the authors have identified features of approaches to investment attractiveness evaluation on a macroeconomic level analyzing latest works of scientists and researchers around the world. It is believed, that the most valuable type of investments for future GDP growth is funds from multinational corporations: they bring not only money, but technologies, and decision how make new businesses profitable. Thus, the fundamental consideration for countries competing for investments is the influencing and improvement of such factors through effective investment incentives policies. Within this work, we researched recent studies of investment attractiveness evaluation around the world, and assumed key points for improving and applying those approaches in Ukrainian economy. Within literature analysis the authors structured approaches to the evaluation based on the methods and subjects those approaches used. The most common methods are related to econometric analysis of statistical data that is collected and published by international institutions and rating agencies. Current analysis shows a tangible dependence between country investment attractiveness and the dynamics of FDI inflows. This dependence is not always straightforward, which is explained by influence of many other determinants within decision-making process. The authors suggest that involving independent experts from respective sectors of the economy could help to optimize the results of statistical data analysis. The expert survey provides the necessary correction coefficients which are to increase the accuracy and relevance of the investment attractiveness evaluation. The authors proposed a generalized approach to assessing the country investment attractiveness, taking into account international experience and features of the Ukrainian economy. Key words: investments, country investment attractiveness, foreign direct investment, investment attractiveness evaluation.

Abstract:

Energy has become one of the most important building blocks of many changes in the world, and it still maintains this quality. The demand for natural resources and energy continues to increase daily. For this reason, the supply of reliable and sustainable energy has become an important issue that concerns and occupies mankind. Of the renewable energy sources, wind energy is a clean, reliable and inexhaustible source of energy with low operating costs. Turkey is a rich nation in terms of wind energy potential. In this context, the profitability of investments made in utilising domestic and renewable energy potential is important. Investment efficiency is a very important issue before and during the investment period due to the fact that wind energy investments are high cost investments. In this study, a solution will be proposed for the replacement of inefficient wind turbines which have been installed. In the ideal solution of the issue, the remaining lifetime of the wind turbine which is to be replaced and capacity utilization at the new location of the turbine will be used as key input factors. The results showed that it was important for the relocation decision to be made early for the investment to be more profitable. In the event of delayed decisions to relocate the turbine, a high capacity factor is expected in the new location. If a high capacity factor is not achieved, the relocation of the turbine will be meaningless and losses will be incurred for the investor. Also according to the results of the analysis, in the first two years, the turbine operating at a low capacity of 19% and 17% is profitable if it works at 26% capacity until the end of its economic life when change is made in the third year.

Abstract:

This paper investigates how noisy evaluation of worker skills affects human capital investments and hiring. Individuals distort investments toward skills that most managers can evaluate. Dynamically, when workers become managers, managerial expertise can become increasingly skewed over time, raising investment distortions and reducing output. If firms select managerial expertise strategically, efficient investments can be retrieved when (a) identifying whether workers' skills matter more than distinguishing among skilled workers, and (b) initial investment distortions are small. Otherwise, such strategic design worsens long-run outcomes. Finally, we determine when short-run affirmative action policies are effective.

We evaluate the impact of a half century of nontransportation Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) investments on its constituent counties using quasi-experimental methods. We apply a set of propensity score methods and select the most appropriate matching algorithm for use in identifying the effects of policy implementation. The results of the analyses indicate that counties that received ARC funding grew faster than the control counties. The long-run per capita income growth rate in ARC investment counties was an average of 5.5 percent higher than in the control counties. Employment also grew significantly faster in these ARC counties than in the control counties for most of the study period. The average difference in the long-run employment growth rates between the counties that received ARC investments and those counties that did not was approximately 4.2 percent.

Abstract:

This article considers a tool called an ‘investment logic map’ which was developed by the Victorian Government Department of Treasury and Finance to assist in testing the rationale for proceeding with investment proposals (particularly information and communications technology investments) while they are still at an early stage of development. The article views this tool through the lens of evaluation theory and practice, and situates the investment logic map within the practice of front-end evaluation. From this perspective, the article considers some of the drawbacks of the investment logic map as an example of program logic. The article argues that, because of the pivotal role the investment logic map plays in the management and review of investments through their lifecycle (as part of the government's broader Investment Management Standard), it needs to be underpinned by more robust evaluation practice. The article concludes by suggesting a way in which the strengths of the investment logic map can be retained, while reducing the risks inherent in its current use.

Abstract:

The need to create conditions for attracting capital, which is the basis of economic growth in modern conditions, is particularly important. The improvement of mechanisms for reinvesting capital in economic growth and development is directly related to the macroeconomic mechanism itself. At the same time, the state is both the main initiator of investment policy and an investor. In this regard, the direct availability of an effective investment strategy and its high-quality implementation can significantly increase investment attractiveness at the level of the state, as well as at the level of the region or any subject. The systematic and systematic nature of investment activity implies the existence of mechanisms for attracting and implementing investments that significantly increase their effectiveness. The most complete and effective implementation of the capabilities of any subject is possible only with a systematic strategic approach. The state of the investment climate of the Republic of Crimea is the basis for decision-making by investors, so one of the main tasks of the region is to create a favorable investment environment by implementing a long-term investment development strategy. By implementing an investment policy, the state and the regions, including Crimea, strive to achieve economic security, rationally deploy productive forces, strengthen their own industrial base as a whole, and structurally restructure the regional economy, thereby ensuring sufficient capital inflows for economic sectors and increasing their own competitiveness.

Abstract:

World economic crises, internal economic and political instability have led to declining the level of investment attractiveness and investment security of Ukraine. The aim of the article is to propose an integral index in order to assess investment environment security and determine factors affecting the investment environment security of Ukraine. The suggested assessment is based on the data of World Bank’s indexes with the following blocks of factors: the availability of economic freedom, favorable organizational conditions for doing business, political and legal freedom, supply of resources and infrastructure development. The assessment of Ukrainian investment environment security and its Western neighbors – the European Union member states – has shown that it has lowest rank and highest volatility in Ukraine. The article identifies a direct statistical relation between the volume of foreign direct investment flows in Ukraine and the indicator of political stability and the absence of violence in the country. The main reasons of investment attractiveness reduction in Ukraine were as follows: conservative attitude of investors towards risks due to political instability, manifestations of violence and terrorism; deterioration of the overall financial situation of enterprises, which are the recipients of investments. The article substantiates that conditions for the investment attraction and secure environment in Ukraine have not been formed yet. The system of indicators and criteria for assessing the level of investment environment security should be expanded.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a novel application of cluster theory and cluster methodology to evaluate large infrastructure investments. The complementing clusters approach, which builds on the notion of infrastructure as connecting isolated “economic islands”, is able to assess the potential for value creation effects of new infrastructure investment. Design/methodology/approach – The author uses simulation analysis based on a unique data set encompassing all employees and employers, as well as cluster mapping, for every pair of “economic islands” being connected by the examined infrastructure investments. The empirical setting is of large fjord crossings in Western Norway, the so-called E39 project. Findings – The empirical findings show that productivity gains are higher when an integrated labor market hosting complementary clusters is formed. Limitations remain regarding the economic integration path. Research limitations/implications – The authors provide an ex-ante analysis using information over the past 10 years. Following the expected infrastructure investments, future research should examine the extent to which productivity gains materialized and the reasons underlying the achieved materialization levels. Practical implications – Current evaluation of large infrastructure investments focuses on transportation economics effects, technical feasibility and environmental consequences. The authors complement this current practice by advancing a theoretically grounded value creation perspective that can affect future evaluation practices. Originality/value – Cluster complementarity-based evaluation is a novel methodology that is applicable to investment decisions which are central for economic development. Cluster analysis of infrastructure investments provides new and valuable data for making such investments decisions.

Abstract:

This publication reflects the results of the authors’ research aimed at finding ways to reduce the complexity of appraising the investment attractiveness of potential recipients of investments. The purpose of the research is to create a methodology that will effectively manage not only the process of determining the recipients of investments but also the development of organizations to increase their investment attractiveness. The authors provide an overview of the most significant publications that consider existing methods for appraising investment attractiveness, based on both financial statements and the market value of a business. In the main part of the article, the authors conclude that data envelopment analysis (DEA) may be used to aggregate several different criteria of the investment attractiveness appraising in one number. The section that presents the empirical results of the study contains a description of a number of indicators of Russian oil refining companies and their aggregation based both on the method of expert assessments and a formal approach using the DEA. The examples only apply criteria calculated based on organizations’ financial statements. It is emphasized that in real practice the first method is a very expensive and time-consuming procedure in comparison with the second, which provides a formalized agreement of the criteria used in the former method, and takes into account the situation in the entire market segment under study. It is shown that the calculations made based on these two methods give approximately the same results. This indicates that the methodology proposed by the authors can be considered as an effective alternative to existing expert approaches to appraising investment attractiveness. In the final part of the article, recommendations are formulated for improving the proposed methodological approach by including a number of market indicators that characterize the activities of potential recipients of investments.

Abstract:

The purpose of the analytical review consists of the comprehensive socio-economic analysis multi-criteria optimization methods of investment project for investment programs. Those are related to the use of economic and statistical information which could be implemented in identification of consistent patterns in the processes of individual phenomena development in society and in the study of the indicators. The results of the scientific research include the effect of individual factors on abovementioned processes. The importance of innovative development is one of the main indicators of investment under uncertainty, taking into account social orientation of investment program planning in companies. Logistics investment model serves for the purpose of investment process simplification on the basis of logistics processes, which take place in contrast to decomposition of functional areas of logistics and assessment of the investments.

Abstract:

AbstractThe problem of how to evaluate investments in airports has now been studied for over 50 years. This paper analyzes the use of different methods like cost–benefit analysis (CBA), economic impact analysis (EIA), and computable general equilibrium (CGE) models to address the question. It assesses the strength and weaknesses of each method, and it discusses which methods have been used in different countries. The paper argues that the CBA approach and the newer CGE modeling approach address the policy issue well and that both methods are appropriate, although improvements are possible, especially in the newer aspects of evaluation. Furthermore, more data intensive CGE models are able to analyze broader aspects of the evaluation question for which CBA has had difficulty. EIA does not address the problem satisfactorily, and it misleads air transport policy. But this evaluation contrasts sharply with practice. EIA has been extensively used to decide on airport investment. CGE approaches are very promising, though further work is needed for them to reach their full potential. This paper pays particular attention to the relationship between CBA and CGE in airport investment evaluation and also the possible role of wider economic benefits (WEBs) of aviation in evaluation.

The relevant objectives of a housing strategy is to vouch the effective usage of the present housing, maintenance and renovation. The selection of the means for building and residential environment renovation is dictated by the drawbacks of their present state, out‐of‐date designed decisions, natural physical deterioration. While fixing the optimal renovation prices from the aspect of market value increase, the main indicator, limiting the size of investments into building renovation, is the difference between market values after and before renovation. The difference between 1m2 of market value of a building of new construction and the average price of 1m2 of a building of old construction and the cost of renovation means for it will decide the size of the packet of the investments into renovation.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore citizens’ willingness to invest in photovoltaics. Design/methodology/approach To meet the aim of the research, a questionnaire survey was conducted in the island of Evia in Greece using the method of random stratified sampling. A total of 366 responses were analyzed using both descriptive and inductive statistics methods, such as principal components analysis, K-means cluster analysis, discriminant analysis and binary logistic regression. Findings The research results indicate that 73per cent of the respondents would invest in renewable energy sources, whereas 55per cent of them would specifically invest in photovoltaics. Regarding their views on photovoltaics, three components were extracted; photovoltaics positive effects, facilitations for investments in photovoltaics and photovoltaics’ performance. Area of residence, annual income and the above-mentioned three components of views on photovoltaics were found to be statistically significant for the dichotomous variable of willingness to invest in photovoltaics. Among the examined variables, photovoltaics performance found to contribute the most in increasing respondents’ willingness to invest in photovoltaics. Originality/value The study filled the literature gap concerning citizens’ willingness to invest in photovoltaics in Greece. Furthermore, the research results made feasible to understand the factors that can lead in an investment decision for photovoltaics.

Abstract:

The article evaluates the legal regulation and accounting of capital investments and determines that a single and precise term that would determine their essence has not yet been developed. The difference in the definitions of capital investments is outlined, which leads to confusion in their evaluation and reflection in the system of accounting accounts. There are two approaches to determining the nature of capital investment in the legal framework: economic and accounting. The dynamics and structure of capital investments by types of assets in terms of 2015-2019 are presented. Based on the results of elaboration of the regulatory framework and scientific opinions of scientists, their own opinion on the definition of capital investment has been expressed. It is noted that in the organization of accounting for capital investments it is important to assess, classify, justify objects, as well as the allocation of costs to current (to maintain the object in working order) and attribute investments to capital (improving the functional properties of the object ). A generalized classification of capital investments is proposed, which will help to timely and fully systematize the accounts and reflect in the reporting of objective and reliable information. It was found that one of the problems of accounting for capital investments is the distribution of costs and investments incurred between current costs and capital investments. Entities are invited to develop their own criteria for identifying capital investment objects and assigning the cost of repairs (capital repairs) to capital investments and approve them in the accounting policy and order. In order to ensure the objectivity of the information on capital investments, alternative changes to the Chart of Accounts have been proposed in the part of the Capital Investments account. The submitted proposals will provide an opportunity to consider capital investments as a separate object of accounting and to assess the rationality of investments.

Abstract:

Background Alternative approaches to analyzing and evaluating health care investments in state-of-the-art technologies are being increasingly discussed in the literature, especially with the advent of Healthcare 4.0 (H4.0) technologies or eHealth. Such investments generally involve computer hardware and software that deal with the storage, retrieval, sharing, and use of health care information, data, and knowledge for communication and decision-making. Besides, the use of these technologies significantly increases when addressed in bundles. However, a structured and holistic approach to analyzing investments in H4.0 technologies is not available in the literature. Objective This study aims to analyze previous research related to the evaluation of H4.0 technologies in hospitals and characterize the most common investment approaches used. We propose a framework that organizes the research associated with hospitals’ H4.0 technology investment decisions and suggest five main research directions on the topic. Methods To achieve our goal, we followed the standard procedure for scoping reviews. We performed a search in the Crossref, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases with the keywords investment, health, industry 4.0, investment, health technology assessment, healthcare 4.0, and smart in the title, abstract, and keywords of research papers. We retrieved 5701 publications from all the databases. After removing papers published before 2011 as well as duplicates and performing further screening, we were left with 244 articles, from which 33 were selected after in-depth analysis to compose the final publication portfolio. Results Our findings show the multidisciplinary nature of the research related to evaluating hospital investments in H4.0 technologies. We found that the most common investment approaches focused on cost analysis, single technology, and single decision-maker involvement, which dominate bundle analysis, H4.0 technology value considerations, and multiple decision-maker involvement. Conclusions Some of our findings were unexpected, given the interrelated nature of H4.0 technologies and their multidimensional impact. Owing to the absence of a more holistic approach to H4.0 technology investment decisions, we identified five promising research directions for the topic: development of economic valuation methodologies tailored for H4.0 technologies; accounting for technology interrelations in the form of bundles; accounting for uncertainties in the process of evaluating such technologies; integration of administrative, medical, and patient perspectives into the evaluation process; and balancing and handling complexity in the decision-making process.

Theoretical, methodological, scientific, methodical and applied principles of managing environmentally and socially oriented investments in sustainable development of rural areas have been developed and substantiated in the article. The model of investment process of ecologically and socially oriented economy has been developed. The analysis of corresponding existing models of investment process enabled to specify the management model, which corresponds to the environmentally and socially oriented economics. The block scheme of the system of analyzing and evaluating the efficiency of investment processes of sustainable rural development has been made. The determined methodological provisions and specified concepts enabled to ground the system of complex analyzing and assessing the effectiveness of investment processes in sustainable development of rural areas, including the evaluation of economic, social and environmental efficiency of investment projects. The mechanism of sustainable rural development, comprising consolidated elements and connections, has been grounded. The ecological aspects of investment policy as a component of the economic mechanism of sustainable rural development have been systematized. It has been determined that attracting investments in environmentally and socially oriented investment projects and programs has to be based on strengthening the ecological aspects of investment policy as part of stimulating sub-system of the economic mechanism of sustainable rural development.

Abstract:

The peculiarities of administrative and legal principles of foreign investment from the point of view of complex analysis have been considered, considering the current stage of historical development of the state system. Taking into account doctrinal research and own scientific achievements, it has been determined that nowadays it is extremely urgent to implement the whole set of practical measures aimed at achieving qualitative changes in the issues of attracting foreign investment and strengthening the control over the quality level of investments in the economy of Ukraine from the standpoint of administrative and legal principles. It has been determined and proved that it is expedient to apply the phased approach of administrative and legal regulation of foreign investment – two-step assessment of the quality of foreign investments. In particular, the investor should be evaluated at the first step. This means that the purpose and goals of his investment activity, as well as his investment, business and economic reputation must be assessed. The second stage begins with the evaluation of the investment project, the priority for the economic development of the territorial community, the level of innovation, environmental compatibility, payback period, value of investments, etc. The basis for this approach should be the system for evaluating the quality of the subjects and objects of the investment process. The result of applying this approach should be the definition of the quality of the investment project and definition of the priority for its implementation in accordance with territorial interests. In this regard, it would be appropriate to make a clear distinction between the functions and responsibilities of the institutions that are going to assess the quality of the investments. According to the author, it would be rational to expand the main directions of activity of the Ukrainian Center for Foreign Investment Promotion and to create a special department that would deal with the quality control over the relevant foreign investments coming to the Ukrainian economy. The same structures should be formed at the local level.
