Full textAbstract:
Historians of economic thought have long debated about the methodological position adopted by Alfred Marshall (1842–1924) concerning the mathematization of economics. While Francis Y. Edgeworth and Marshall's pupils, most notably A. C. Pigou and J. M. Keynes, agreed that it was mainly through him that mathematical economics has since become respectable (see Pigou 1925, p. 66) and proclaimed him the founder of modern diagrammatic economics (ibid., p. 24), more recent commentators have criticized his failure to give proper credit to mathematics, and have even depicted him as an enemy of such an approach (see, for example, Schumpeter 1951, p. 97; Coase 1975; Brems 1975; Creedy 1986, p. 126; Schabas 1989; Huriot 1994, p. 17).

Full textAbstract:
Historians of the social sciences and historians of economics have come to agree that, in the United States, the 1940s transformation of economics from political economy to economic science was associated with economists’ engagements with other disciplines—e.g., mathematics, statistics, operations research, physics, engineering, cybernetics—during and immediately after World War II. More controversially, some historians have also argued that the transformation was accelerated by economists’ desires to be safe, to seek the protective coloration of mathematics and statistics, during the McCarthy period. This paper argues that that particular claim 1) is generally accepted, but 2) is unsupported by good evidence, and 3) what evidence there is suggests that the claim is false.

The transformation of economics through its mathematization has been of interest to historians of economics and economic thought. While considering aspects of this history, Philip Mirowski (1986a, 1992) and Lionel Punzo (1989, 1991) have introduced David Hilbert's work, the Hilbert program, formalism, and Kurt GddePs results into their discussions in a way that is inconsistent with the mathematical community's understanding of mathematical history.

Full textAbstract:
The utility function has long been the main tool used by many economists due to the mathematization of economics. Some textbooks on mathematical economics state that the application of mathematics in economics imposes greater rigor, precision, and transparency of assumptions, not significantly different from the non-mathematical method. When analyzing utility function, it can be noticed that its application influences the economic analysis by imposing certain behaviors on people and giving them a mechanical character, primarily by introducing a constant relationship between the goods or goals considered by the person. For this reason, it is almost impossible to take into account the real uncertainty in theoretical research, which overly mechanizes the description of decision-making and economic processes.

The article is devoted to the problems of applying economic and mathematical methods in the organization of production in conditions of digitalization. The reasons and necessity of the formation of economic and mathematical methods in the domestic and foreign literature are considered, the reasons for the mathematization of economic methods are reflected. The problems of economic and mathematical methods and economic and mathematical models in the conditions of constant growth of information and digitalization are established. The main task of the research is to identify problems and study the application of economic and mathematical methods in the organization of production in modern conditions of digitalization, as well as to identify trends in their development.

Full textAbstract:
Many economists show certain nonconformity relative to the excessive mathematical formalization of economics. This stems from dissatisfaction with the old debate about the lack of correspondence between mainstream theoretical models and reality. Although we do not propose to settle this debate here, this article seeks to associate the mismatch of mathematized models with the reality of the adoption of the hypothetical-deductive method as reproduced by general equilibrium. We begin by defining the main benefits of the mathematization of economics. Secondly, we address traditional criticism leveled against it. We then focus on more recent criticism from Gillies (2005) and Bresser-Pereira (2008). Finally, we attempt to associate the reproduction of the hypothetical-deductive method with a metatheoretical process triggered by Debreu's general equilibrium theory. In this respect, we appropriate the ideas of Weintraub (2002), Punzo (1991), and mainly Woo (1986) to support our hypothesis.

Full textAbstract:
The usage of quantitative tools for creating the mathematical models of functioning different economic facilities abounds the opportunity for better understanding and acquaintance of the surrounding reality. A lot of thinkers identify even universality of the particular branch of knowledge with the extent of its ‘mathematization’. Applying mathematical methods so called quantitative provide great and not to overestimate services not only in the science research of technique, physics, astronomy, biology and medicine, but also – within the qualitative methods- in the field of social science in the sphere of the control of the quality of production or in the process of service management or decision making. Complex nature of the social and economic phenomena requires making the usage of the most modern means and the ubiquitous computerization significantly confirms the usefulness of these methods. Progressing ‘mathematization’ and computerization of the science forces creating and applying quantitative (mathematical) models including economic science. The model of operating of studied system was considered in two variants. I. when the process of the product delivery to the store represents inclusively the subsystem of production and the subsystem of the transportation – it could be then said that the level of filling the store up is controlled by the aggregated process of the delivery of the product.
when the process of the product delivery to the store takes into account explicate both the production process and also the operating of transportation subsystem, so it is then the structural process of the product delivery. Both in the aggregated and structural version, the analyses of the functioning of the system was made in three variants of the store filling: intermediate state of the store filling; zero state of the store filling that is lower barrier; the state of full storage of the store, that is the upper barrier. The result of my analyses are two proprietary probabilistic models of system operation which are presented through the system of differential equations both in the aggregated and structural variant. Probabilistic models of functioning of the system in both variants presented throughout the probabilistic model also enable determining sizing prognosis which are characteristic for the functioning of this system. These prognoses are transferred to the unit of the management system and they provide the premises to the streamline of its functioning.
These tools create the basics of theoretical and methodological constructed computer programmes of the informative systems of decision-making support.

GIRAUD, YANN B. "THE CHANGING PLACE OF VISUAL REPRESENTATION IN ECONOMICS: PAUL SAMUELSON BETWEEN PRINCIPLE AND STRATEGY, 1941–1955." Journal of the History of Economic Thought 32, no. 2 (February 16, 2010): 175–97. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s1053837210000143.
Full textAbstract:
In this paper, we show that Paul Samuelson (1915–2009), renowned as one of the main advocates of the mathematization of economics, has also contributed to the change of the place of visual representation in the discipline. In his early works (e.g. Foundations of Economic Analysis published in 1947), he rejected diagrammatic analysis as a relevant tool of theorizing but used diagrams extensively, both as a pedagogic tool in his introductory textbook Economics (1948) and as a way of clarifying his theory of public expenditure (1954-5). We show that Samuelson’s reluctance to use diagrams in his early works can be explained by his training at Chicago and Harvard and his rejecting Marshall’s economics, whereas his adoption of visual language in Economics was a product of the peculiar context affecting American mass-education after WWII. A methodological debate which opposed him to Kenneth Boulding in 1948 led him to reconsider the place of visual representation in order to clarify conceptual controversies during subsequent debates on mathematical economics. Therefore, it can be said that the prominent place of visual language in the diffusion of economic ideas was stabilized in the mid-1950s, as mathematical language became the prevailing tool of economic theorizing. From this, we conclude that the idea that algebra simply upstaged geometry in the making of economic analysis must be qualified.

Full textAbstract:
The interdisciplinary project to unite the field of mathematics with the social and biological sciences marks the work of Vito Volterra, one of Italy’s most prominent mathematicians of the twentieth century. This paper explores the connections between Volterra’s 1901 inaugural address at the Accademia dei Lincei in Rome and the work of two of his contemporaries, Léon Walras and Irving Fisher. All three thinkers were ardent advocates of the mathematical turn in economic thinking. This paper argues, however, that it is the previously unexplored relationship between Volterra and Fisher that sheds the most light on the way in which mechanical physics contributed to the project of mathematization within economics more generally. Furthermore, it explores the way in which mathematical inquiry postulated a new and coherent abstraction of the economy, at the same time that it gave epistemological authority to the economist.

Full textAbstract:
The issue of the article is to acquaint researchers with new methods of studying geopolitics on a strict quantitative scientifically grounded basis. The relevance of this topic is confirmed by the general growth of interest in geopolitical topics in scientific publications, but for the most part these publications are characterized by speculative argumentation and a superficial vision of geographic space. The review article intends to systematize modern theoretical knowledge about geopolitics, to present domestic methodological developments in this area. In the 1990 s, there was a search for conceptual schemes for a quantitative or qualitative analysis of geopolitical relations and acquaintance with foreign trends in geopolitics and methods of argumentation. Since the 2000 s in the latest methodology of geopolitics, 4 generalized directions are distinguished: geopolitics in geographical interpretation, which considers geopolitical processes through the prism of objective spatial data, and uses the geographic scientific base and theories of domestic economic and theoretical geography in the argument, the second is the geo-economic branch, which is based on the achievements of economic science in the mathematization of scientific knowledge, the third is critical geopolitics, which implies a quantitative and qualitative analysis of political discourse, geopolitical images and ideas about the place of a country (region) in the world, the fourth is geopolitical mathematical modeling. In general, the identified areas are not opposed to each other, but have pronounced accents and their own pool of studies, recognized as «classical», included in the foundation of scientific constructions, and there is also an interpenetration and unification of methods for quantitative analysis of geopolitical studies. The article is addressed in order to consolidate knowledge about geopolitics, to interpenetrate the developed methods in this area and stimulate interdisciplinary approaches.

Full textAbstract:
With the rise of the concept of “culture”, numerous attempts were made to integrate it into state policy, but failed. “Culture” then required a clear and unambiguous definition. A new effort, known as the “debate about cultural and creative industries”, was undertaken in a new historical context at the beginning of this century. This article tries to clarify the main arguments and positions in these recent debates, and to analyze the attempt of a new operationalization of culture by means of economic discourse in the critical perspective. This attempt was carried out under the new academic slogan of “creative industries”, with which politicians, international and national functionaries, as well as representatives of the academic community pinned their hopes on the invention of a new model of economic growth. One of the principal theses of the article is that this kind of operationalization is not realistic because “creativity”, like “culture”, is not amenable to any mathematization, commodification, or unambiguous interpretation. The policy of “creative industries” is considered through a tendency to a total commercialization of cultural production and its global standardization. The article analyzes different national models of its implementation, as well as the results. One of the most important outcomes of this policy is a growing distrust of the “archaic” forms of cultural knowledge that have been formed in and by national states: the statistical approach as well as its instruments are inappropriate and inadequate as state-of-the-art when the corporate sector almost completely defines rules and standards of a cultural production. This raises the question of whether the state needs a holistic view of culture and the exercising of control functions in this sector of production. In this perspective, the article raises the problem of whether the policy of creative industries is adequate and appropriate for the Russian Federation.

The work of K. 'Vela' Velupillai has illuminated the debate on the mathematization of economics by providing a broader view of the universe of mathematics and its possible applications in economics. The theoretical and policy consequences from the peculiar mode of mathematization in economics is another important theme in Vela work. Alternative modes of mathematization are offered with a call for an "Algorithmic Economics" in the future.

Full textAbstract:
Building of predictive model starts and finishes the forecasting of service sector. Natural sciences operate mainly with theoretical models, which are based on the existing common factors of the surrounding world with a high level of formalization and enormous potential of measurements through computer technology and software products specifically designed for such purposes. High level of mathematization of economic research and commitment to formalization of the processes and phenomena are the reason of it. Therefore, predictive model appears as a system of tables, graphs, rules, and so forth, and is a set of measurable indicators that fully reflect the structure and nature of the research subject. Forecast in this case is transforming certain specific values of the indicators of specified model in the changed indicators of search and normative models. Development of the service sector (transport, economic, information, communication, management, trade, scientific) and gradual freedom from harmful heavy industries in the territory of the city are the trend of the last decades. This is a natural development process of the metropolis; there are enough plants in the city polluting the environment. Predictive model of service sector is the object of this study formalized in such a way as to make possible to quantitative estimate of analytical and prognostic properties. Predictive model is developed by the example of land passenger transport of Moscow. Road passenger transport in Moscow is one of the most important services for both the population and the economy of the city as a whole. Therefore it is necessary for the further development of this service to carry out continuous prediction of the future to preserve the positive trends and to prevent crisis situations. Development of a predictive model of land passenger transport is a process involving certain stages. The results of each stage of the predictive model development will require the collection of statistical information about the status of land passenger transport in Moscow, the definition of specific functioning processes of the city’s transportation system.

Full textAbstract:
Our aim in this article is to put into practice, in the field of social sciences, the principles that Husserl displayed in his book from 1936, "The crisis of European sciences and transcendental phenomenology”. In that seminal work, Husserl reflected on the mathematization of nature and produced an historical meditation on the essence of geometry. Here we will try to extend the reach of Husserlian postulates in order to deal with economics and, more specifically, with the theory of money. We think that, in certain social sciences, and in particular in those with a clear mathematical penchant like economics, the use of formalization often helps to cover an uncritical use of phenomenologically ungrounded idealizations. This fact ultimately results in a massive concealment of the true sense of some of its principal phenomenanamely, money. It is worth mentioning that this concern does not have its roots only in phenomenology, for even academic monetary theory openly acknowledges that we lack an understanding of the meaning of money which could help us clarify and prevent financial crisis and economic collapses. Crisis, in short, are not the result of a deep understanding of the concept of money; on the contrary, they highlight the fact that we don’t really know what money is. Thus, our goal here is to illustrate the possibilities offered by the phenomenological method in its application to the question of money. It is in this sense that the research taking place here can be understood as a “phenomenological critique of monetary theory”.En el presente artículo se pretende llevar a cabo una aplicación de los principios que Husserl lleva a cabo en su obra de 1936, “La crisis de las ciencias europeas y la fenomenología transcendental”, a las ciencias sociales; concretamente, al concepto de dinero. En su obra de 1936, Husserl puso el énfasis en la matematización de la naturaleza, centrándose sobre todo en la meditación histórica sobre la geometría. Pero en el caso de algunas ciencias sociales, como la economía, la utilización libre de construcciones idealizadoras fenomenológicamente infundadas, como en el caso del dinero, está teniendo como resultado un enorme encubrimiento de sentido del fenómeno monetario. Esto no es vivido tan solo desde la feno-menología: desde la propia teoría monetaria se reconoce que estamos faltos de una comprensión del sentido del dinero que nos ayude a clarificar y prevenir de manera suficiente las crisis financieras. Estas crisis no son fruto de que hayamos comprendido demasiado bien el concepto de dinero, sino de que todavía estamos faltos de una comprensión profunda del sentido del dinero. Aquí pretendemos ilustrar las posibilidades que el método fenomenológico ofrece, aplicado al caso del dinero. En este sentido, pueden considerarse las investigaciones que tienen lugar aquí como “crítica fenomenológica de la teoría monetaria”.

At the current stage of social and economic development of Ukraine, the processes of globalization, integration and informatization of society raise qualitatively new challenges in the field of higher education. Ukraine has recently been focusing on European countries, which consider the tourism sector as a priority area for their economic development. This area of investment is very attractive, creates new jobs and is characterized by a high level of efficiency. Therefore, the socio-economic success of the country as a whole depends on the professional training of future tourists. The basis for the development of specialist-tourist skills is mathematical disciplines, including the discipline "Higher and Applied Mathematics". There is an intensive process of mathematization of knowledge, involving mathematical apparatus in the study of natural sciences, humanities, economics and social sciences, which in turn forms a certain level of mathematical culture of students of universities. The purpose of teaching the course "Higher and Applied Mathematics" is to provide students with basic knowledge of mathematics, which enable them to further master the professional disciplines based on mathematical concepts. In this case, considerable attention should be paid to the formation of practical skills, the ability to apply mathematical methods when solving the tasks of professional activity. One of the tools for improving the quality of mathematical education for students-tourists is to update the content of courses that are read in the context of the future profession and modern socio-economic order. When considering a particular material, the idea of its connection with the future profession should be put on the foreground. In this regard, the course "Higher and Applied Mathematics" for students-tourists VNAU contains several critical sections covering all the main areas of application of mathematical methods in the tourism sector. Teaching is carried out in accordance with the typical curriculum for higher education institutions in the discipline "Higher and Applied Mathematics" for the specialty "Tourism", developed by the teachers of the Department of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Technologies, VNU taking into account the principle of professional orientation. Given the fact that for students the most important is the practical aspect of mathematics, the purpose of the course is to familiarize with the basic concepts and methods of studying modern mathematics necessary for further study of professional disciplines, as well as the formation of skills for the correct mathematical formulation of applied problems and the construction of simple mathematical models. The solution of many applications is due to cumbersome mathematical calculations, the need to visually present the results of calculations, check them, so it is advisable to use computer mathematical systems, in particular, Maccats, in practical classes in mathematics. Teachers of the Department of Mathematics of Physics and Computer Technologies are the ones who prefer it. To work with Mathcad, there are basic elementary skills in working with Windows applications, so you need to implement this environment from the first lessons when studying topics such as Linear Algebra, Differential and Integral Computing, Elements of Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics. The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the educational process greatly enhances the opportunities of both the teacher and the student's cognitive abilities. ICTs allow to visualize and dynamize the process of studying the discipline "Higher and Applied Mathematics", to personalize and direct the educational process for the comprehensive development of personality, to substantially increase the volume, sources of receipt and the nature of the information necessary for a person, the means of its processing. They can have a significant impact on the methodology of holding higher and applied mathematics classes, requiring the teacher to use electronic textbooks, lecture notes, practical work, the testing system for assessing student knowledge, and global sources of information. They also facilitate the organization of effective independent work in non-attendance time for students. It should be noted that to date there are quite a few tutorials, collections of tasks that contain applied tasks that can be considered at lectures and practical classes on higher and applied mathematics. Work on the creation of such methodological materials is conducted, in particular, at the Department of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Technologies. Thus, changing requirements for a specialist in the field of tourism, which is conditioned by modernity, requires a permanent rearrangement of the structural elements of its preparation. Fundamental disciplines to a large extent are applied, and therefore a qualitative assimilation of basic and basic concepts of mathematical disciplines will contribute to the competitiveness and qualitative training of the future specialist.

Full textAbstract:
The central theme of this session is the changing relationship between “orthodox” (i.e., mainstream, neoclassical) and “heterodox” economics, especially in the USA, during the past two or three decades. Economics is such a large and heterogeneous discipline that it cannot be characterized both briefly and accurately. Alongside the growth of formalization and mathematization, and the high degree of uniformity in the undergraduate and graduate curricula and in the leading textbooks, there are also within the subject a number of dissenting or deviant doctrinal schools, rival methodological approaches, and innovative developments designed to remedy its defects and/or overcome its limitations. Moreover, many of the outspoken criticisms of the status quo, proposed remedies, and innovations, originate with or are endorsed by prominent economists with impeccable professional credentials. Indeed, in some cases their contributions threaten the discipline's foundations and can, therefore, be considered a species of “orthodox subversion.”

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the research is the search for the strategic steps to win the competition among small construction and installation companies in the market conditions, where the factors of scale and differentiation do not work. In order to achieve the aim the following scientific principles are used: the principle of applied targeting, system, dynamics, and the methods of observation, modelling, formalization, analysis, synthesis, mathematization and generalization within specific scientific methodology. It is a major problem to create serious stable competitive advantages for winning in the competition for the small construction and installation company. Creation of competitive advantages is based on the definite economic correlates. Thus the question arises what to base them on. M. Porter determined U-like dependence between the market share of the company and the level of the returns on investments. [Porter, p.60]. It made it possible to make a principally important conclusion about two types of strategies that achieve significant success: 1) differentiation 2) leadership in prices and expenses. Thus, it’s necessary to analyze the company market from the point of view of: possibilities for differentiation; presence of the economies of scale, which help to decrease expenses and price of the product. The new (updated) BKG matrix helps to find ways to solve the problem of creating competitive advantages. BKG defines four competitive fields. Competitive field where small construction company operates is called “frustration”, and according to the recommendations of the modernized BKG matrix, the factor of scale does not work here and differentiation is not appropriate. Among the recommendations for this field the most efficient, in our opinion, is the proposition to use factors of production the sphere of the largest return and to control geographical markets. Actual expenditures of the company depend to a considerable extent on the term of work performance among other factors. Having conducted the research, we defined the correlation between the term of work performance and their actual cost value. The research was conducted based on calculations of estimated costs of construction works with the help of the program complex AVK-5, taking into consideration the character of dependence of the cost value components on the terms of work performance. These correlations are presented in chart and graphic form. After analyzing the graph it is possible to determine how the estimated cost value will change when changing the terms of work performance and define the zone of minimal cost of work performance which allows to build the strategy for tenders and negotiations on construction costs and terms. Optimum zone is the zone of minimal variable costs, corresponds to normative duration of work performance. Upon the analysis of the received correlations and possible tasks of the construction company while conducting tenders we can suggest the following strategies of tenders’ conduction to a construction company: a) In terms of strict restriction of the costs of project implementation from the building owner; b) In terms of the strict restriction of the terms of the project implementation by the building owner; c) In case, when the subject of negotiation during tender are both term and cost of work performance.

Abstract The European Enlightenment fostered a sense of progress through a delineation of universal human rights as well as through a reductionist mathematization of nature. Science, technology and religion became a form of cultural currency between Europe and Imperial China. The Jesuits bartered mathematics, geographic surveys and military technology to win religious permissions with Chinese emperors. Other Europeans were convinced ancient Chinese texts corresponded to the Old Testament. China sent to Europe a Confucian model of a social ethic that demonstrated non-Christian civic virtues. This article examines this exchange using the intercourse in science, technology and religion as the metric.

Full textAbstract:
As readily proven by the Credit Crunch and the consequent 2008 Global Financial Crisis, our perception of what law and regulation can achieve to forestall financial calamities and to protect the integrity of the system was seriously mistaken. Besides the misjudged risks generated by financial innovation as well as financial pathology and general incomprehension of finance as such, two further misconceptions are of interdisciplinary nature. On the one hand, the risk-type that was brought to the surface by the Credit Crunch was systemic risk; a risk of complexity and dimensions that was corollary only to the Great Depression erupting in 1929. From a legal perspective, this meant unprecedented interpenetration of various branches of law, from mortgage and corporate to securities law. The central piece in the puzzle – asset securitization – was a synergic product of these. The first conclusion the paper draws is that in the light of this there is a need for a new legal discipline – the law of finance – that would spread over all these branches of law (internal inter-disciplinarity). On the other hand, both the Credit Crunch as well as the subsequent developments on financial markets show that understanding finance and the risks inherent to it are not only becoming increasingly problematic (not only for lawyers) but that some of the risks are unidentifiable (“unknown unknowns”). Finance is inherently complex, yet further exacerbating factors are the growing presence of technology, mathematization of finance (and economics) and the possible synergic effects of various, often seemingly not linked, financial products. The second claim this paper makes consequently is that legal scholarship should face, comprehend and reckon with the roles other disciplines increasingly play in finance (external inter-disciplinarity) and the fundamentally altered nature of finance. Subscribing to the conclusion – on an abstract and theoretical level – that the looming crises should be perceived as multi-disciplinary phenomena that as such require multi-disciplinary panacea and more cooperation from the affected disciplines would be easy. In reality, however, little seems to have changed. Suffice to take a look at law school curricula to realize that actually few have recipes for such seemingly simple but practical questions as how to teach the law of finance, especially where consensus has not been reached even on whether teach it at all. Equally heavy dilemmas are already presented for regulators or judges when deciding on issues from the realms of finance law.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the analysis of the directions of transformation of scientific methods of economic cognition in the post-industrial period of social development. It has been determined that the objective social reason for the need for methodological changes in economics is the transition to the digital economy. The use of digital technologies in the economic sector creates a situation of virtualization of production, market and monetary relations. The answer of economics is to improve existing and search for new tools of economic knowledge. The following areas of transformation of economic research methods have been identified by the authors: at first, the rapid development of the mathematical apparatus necessary for the study of economic processes has caused a tendency to mathematize economic research. Second, mathematical modeling becomes the leader among the most used economic methods. Mathematical models in economic research are used extremely widely. They are used to find a specific solution to economic problem, and to conduct an experimental test of the chosen solution, and to forecast trends in the further development of a large economic system or a private enterprise. The third trend is digital technologies, which allow conducting analytical research, tracking any changes in the environment, timely and flexible response to market needs. An example is Data Mining technology, which is a set of different methods of searching and analyzing data to find new, non-trivial, practically useful and interpretable knowledge needed to make decisions in various spheres of human life. Finally, the latest trend is the borrowing of methodological tools from other sciences, both the exact and the humanities. Only under the condition of a multidimensional study of economic reality, it is possible to obtain adequate to reality knowledge. These trends reveal the mathematization of economic methods, the dominant role of modeling in economic cognition, digitalization of economic research and at the same time are the most obvious signs of the transformational state of science during the transition of society to post-industrial level.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the manifestations and causes of the paradigmatic crisis of the modern economic “mainstream”: the “monopolization” of economic theory and economic education by the neoclassical direction; Fragmentary nature of scientific research; The “fascination” of scientists with the problem of economic growth and ignoring other factors of social development. The emphasis is on the lack of interdisciplinary research, the “mathematization” of economic knowledge. It is noted that the role of mathematics in economic models is only instrumental, mathematically complex economic models make the world more incomprehensible than simplify, the connection with real life is lost. Unlike the «mainstream», technology and individual taste in the institutional economy are endogenous variables. Institutionalists focus on the boundaries in which the actual future can be predicted, in contrast to the prediction in the «model context»; Institutionalists approach the economy as an organic and evolving «whole», and not as a static mechanism; Other advantages of the institutional economy are: the use of methodological collectivism instead of methodological individualism; Study of the processes of adaptation and disequilibrium, a criticism of the «neoclassical search» for optimal and equilibrium solutions; Instead of technology, focus on ownership and transaction costs; Recognition of ideology as the determining factor in economic history, which contradicts the neoclassical vision of the world; The refutation of the Pareto optimality principle; Emphasis on economic and political power. The methodological orientation of the institutional economy and the possibility of practical application determine its potential for becoming a “new mainstream”.

В статье рассматриваются актуальные вопросы развития статистического образования в современной Российской Федерации. Предприняты попытки определить место и роль статистики в современном обществе, значение статистической информации для государственного управления, бизнеса и общества. Обращено внимание на отношение общества к статистике. Рассмотрены проблемы восприятия обществом статистической информации и статистической грамотности. Дана оценка современного статистического образования и подготовки специалистов для обеспечения потребностей государства и гражданского сообщества в самой разнообразной информации. Определено, в каком направлении развивается отечественное статистическое образование и каким оно должно быть в будущем, чтобы соответствовать существующим глобальным вызовам и запросам общества. Рассмотрен дискуссионный вопрос об истинном месте статистического образования. Для этого в статье уточнено место статистики среди других наук. Обращено внимание на взаимоотношение статистики и математики. В статье рассмотрена современная роль Федеральной службы государственной статистики и обоснована необходимость повышения статуса статистического ведомства. Поставлен вопрос о совершенствовании образования в условиях цифровизации экономики, создания цифровой аналитической платформы, которая предполагает интеграцию бухгалтерской, статистической и налоговой отчетности и использование административных источников данных для статистических целей. The article discusses current issues of the development of statistical education in modern Russia. Attempts have been made to determine the place and role of statistics in modern society, the importance of statistical information for public administration, business and society. Attention is drawn to the attitude of society towards statistics. So, often, there is a desire to expose and convict statisticians of distorting statistical information or in erroneous methods for determining various economic indicators, which leads to unsatisfactory results of economic development. The problems of public perception of statistical information and statistical literacy are considered. In connection with the above, an assessment is given of modern statistical education and training of specialists to meet the needs of the state and civil society in a wide variety of information. It is determined in which direction domestic statistical education is developing and what it should be in the future in order to meet the existing global challenges and demands of society. Statistical literacy should be reflected differently in educational programs. All specialists must correctly understand and be able to analyze information, and some must know how to “make” this information. Discussed issue of the true place of statistical education. To do this, the article specified the place of statistics among other sciences. Attention is drawn to the relationship between statistics and mathematics. It should be noted that for quite a long time, statistics found its refuge in the economy. Then statistics began to be regarded as a universal science, since its methods are applied not only in economics, but also in sociology, medicine, biology, and generally, anywhere, if it is necessary to analyze quantitative data. This led to the idea of transforming statistical education into one of the areas of mathematical training. In addition, abroad, much attention is paid to the construction of complex mathematical models and the need for total mathematization of any higher education (including economic). Meanwhile, experience in the selection committee shows that it is the economy that encourages applicants to enroll in the appropriate educational program and, thus, makes statistics attractive in their eyes. The article considers the current role of Rosstat and substantiates the need to increase the status of the statistical agency. The question is raised about improving education in the context of the digitalization of the economy, creating a digital analytical platform that involves the integration of accounting, statistical and tax reporting and the use of administrative data sources for statistical purposes
