Methodological Problems of Assessing the Standard and Quality of Life in the Context of Harmonizing Socio-Economic Development

DOI: 10.33917/es-1.205.2026.68-75

At the current stage of socio-economic development, it is becoming increasingly evident that assessing the quality and standard of living plays a key role in the process of forming public policy aimed at improving the population well-being. At the same time, the multitude of existing methodological approaches to such assessment, differing both in the composition of indicators applied and in the methods of their aggregation, indicates the absence of universal standards and generally accepted system of indicators.

Unified System for Monitoring Pricing Processes: Implementation in the Development Strategy of State Regulation and Performance Assessment

DOI: 10.33917/es-5.197.2024.80-89

The article proposes approaches to implementing a system of monitoring pricing processes in the strategy of state regulation and to assessing the effectiveness of such monitoring system. The author synthesizes the key functional blocks of a unified system for monitoring pricing processes and, on their basis, develops appropriate approaches. Such approaches, containing information about some participants in the system, legal acts that will require changes, as well as quantitative and qualitative indicators for assessing performance, demonstrate the potential and scale of a unified system for monitoring pricing processes.
