Cambodia's economy has sustained high average annual growth rates, making it one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. However, like other countries in the world, it has not been able to withstand the crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Even with relatively good results in containing the spread of COVID-19, the pandemic has had a serious impact, shaking all the achievements attained. This article analyses the main factors that led to the economic downturn, as well as government measures to sustain the economy, and provides estimates and prospects for recovery.

The article attempts to econometric modeling of the influence of a complex of factors on the volume and dynamics of the economies of the member States of the European Union, taking into account their differentiation. The main results of the author's research are as follows. First, the fundamental coincidence of trends in the EU GDP dynamics with global trends and the presence of a strong negative impact on this dynamics of the global crisis of the late 2000s have been established. Secondly, it is once again confirmed that there is a significant differentiation between the founding States of the EU and the countries that joined it after 1990, expressed in a significant excess of macroeconomic indicators of the first group of countries of similar indicators of the second group. Thirdly, the difference between the combinations of factors influencing economic development in the two groups of EU countries is revealed, which once again testifies to the bloc nature of the EU structure.

The article deals with the logical and theoretical structure of K. Marx's «Capital». In the «Theories of Surplus Value», there is the ascent from the concrete to the abstract in the history of economic thought. This ascent allowed to define the goods as a starting point for the political economy of the capitalist mode of production. But there is no direct way to the economic theory of Marx, whose subject is not the products labour activity, but the material production relations arising during these activities. While researching the goods, Marx uses the «power of abstraction», which allows separating «economic matter» from the «naturally tangible» material basis: use value, concrete labour, etc. An integral system of economic categories is based on the synthesis of natural historical thinking phenomena discovered by Aristotle; Hegel's understanding of purposive activity; specific goals of social production, which are realized in property relations. K. Marx introduces into scientific knowledge the notion of economic progress as a change of social formations. He considers the significance of different models of the division of labour for determining the concept of value. In A. Smith's model, the value is determined a posteriori, after market evaluation of the products or services produced. A unit of measurement is not working time in itself, but economic information on the effectiveness of its use, i.e. money. In the model of K. Marx, the value is determined a priori, in the form of labour costs in the physiological sense. Given a choice, the labour expended receives a marginal evaluation in the form of alternative costs (loss of profits). The meaning of the «absolute, universal law of capitalist accumulation» is identified as a causa finalis, which determines the value of the commodity labour, variable capital, surplus value. I conclude that the development of the dialectics of the topic and the focus of an economic study allows using the method of rational eclecticism if the corresponding material is subject to a subsequent dialectical-materialistic interpretation. © 2018 Economy of Region.

Based on the latest data, paper investigates the dynamics of global climate change and its impact on economic growth in the long-term. The notion of climate risk is considered. The main directions of climate risk management policies are analyzed aimed, first, at reducing anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions through technological innovation and structural economic shifts; secondly, at adaptation of population, territories and economic complexes to the irreparable effects of climate change. The problem of taking into account the phenomenon of climate change in the state economic policy is put in the context of the most urgent tasks of intensification of long-term socio-economic development and parrying strategic challenges to the development of Russia.

Labor is one of the production factors in the Economics and in the International Trade Theory. According to the theoreticians Labor was condisdered immobile in the international trade, and therefore labor-rich countries had a comparative advantage in manufacturing and trading the labor-intensive products. After the Versailles Treaty in 1919, ILO has been established and developed the Principles of Rights at Work in 1998, which was the first step to protection of labor rights [3]. In the Declaration of Fundamental middle of the 20th Century, industrialized countries with the Labor deficiency started inviting the workers from less developed countries. This approach opened the migration of the workers from less developed and developing countries to industrialized countries. Although the Migration stem from the economic, political, social and cultural reasons from the archaic centuries, today's migration based on similar reasons creates positive impacts on the economic development and international trade. The immigrants earn higher wages with the new jobs at the host countries, even they develop further investment projects in the host countries and the original countries. With the help of Migration both countries' people reach up to a higher level of welfare, and the Balance of Payment deficits of both countries are being improved. The impact of migration is not only economic, but also world peace and friendship among the peoples are being improved, too.Key words: migration, immigrants, migrants, migrant remmittances, international trade, economic development, balance of payments, production factors.

On the basis of the synthesis of the ordoliberal concept of economic policy and the methodology of wave front analysis of social processes, the role of rent income in economic development is examined using the statistical method. The first prerequisite was the division of entrepreneurial activity into profit seeking and rent seeking and the differences in their impact on the welfare of society. As a second prerequisite, a provision was made that rent-seeking behavior of economic agents is caused by the institutional system of the state. The article presents the results of a research of the relationship between the size of rental income and the level of economic development according to data from 166 countries for the period from 1997 to 2017, and the relationship between indicators of the quality of the institutional system and the level of rental income (share of rent in GDP) according to data from 161 countries for 2017. It is concluded that there is an average level of negative relationship between such indicators of the quality of the institutional system as "Voice and Accountability", "Government Effectiveness", "Regulatory Quality" and the share of rent in GDP. It was also stated that there are no sufficient grounds to assert that at the present stage, the absence of rent income or low level of such an income hinders economic development. ; На основе синтеза ордолиберальной концепции политики хозяйственного порядка и методологии волнофронтального анализа социальных процессов с применением экономико-статистического метода исследована роль рентных доходов в экономическом развитии. В качестве первой предпосылки принималось деление предпринимательской деятельности на поиск прибыли (profit seeking) и поиск ренты (rent seeking) и отличия в их воздействии на благосостояние общества. В качестве второй предпосылки принято положение об обусловленности рентоориентированного поведения экономических агентов институциональной системой государства. Изложены результаты исследования взаимосвязи величины рентных доходов и ...
