The relevance of the study of the licensing procedure of educational activity is determined primarily by the need to improve the legislation on higher education within the scope of the Law of Ukraine "On Administrative Procedures". Normative acts regulating the licensing of educational activities are classified depending on the subject of regulation and are distinguished: 1) those regulating the static characteristics of licensing of educational activities; 2) those regulating the dynamic characteristics of educational activity licensing. It is substantiated that the procedure for licensing educational activity is a public procedure related to the exercise of the right to educational activity. The features characteristic of the educational activity licensing procedure as a type of administrative procedure are singled out, namely: it is carried out in the manner determined by the legislation on higher education; concerns public-legal relations regarding the provision of rights, freedoms or legitimate interests of individuals in the field of educational activity; is decided with the participation of an administrative body - an executive body, or rather the Ministry of Education and Science; as a result of the administrative procedure, the license is accepted as an administrative act, etc. It was concluded that according to the classification criteria, the licensing procedure of educational activity is a type of: 1) special partial; 2) law enforcement; 3) non-jurisdictional; 4) external; 5) declaratory administrative procedure. It has been established that a license is a decision of an individual nature, which is taken by an executive body authorized to perform the functions of public administration to resolve a specific case for the acquisition, change, termination or realization of rights and/or obligations in the field of education.

Politicians seeking reelection need voters to know what they have done for them. Thus, incentives may arise to spend more money where media coverage is higher.We present a simple model to explain the allocation of public spending across jurisdictions contingent on media activity. A politician seeking to maximize the probability of reelection will shift more money to jurisdictions where an extra dollar raises more votes because a larger share of the electorate is informed about his policy. The main prediction of the model is that media activity is higher in the core areas of media markets. This implies higher spending levels there and lower spending levels in remote jurisdictions. Empirical support for this prediction is found using United States data on county-level federal grant allocation, Designated Market Areas and the location of licensed television stations. ; peerReviewed

The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that the idea of establishing a free trade area and the single market of the European Union (hereinafter - the EU) between Ukraine and the EU countries in accordance with the Association Agreement with the EU and its Member States, as well as the strict fulfilment of obligations to ensure a zone of economic competition, aims at creating a competitive environment in which business entities enjoy equal competitive conditions and operate in accordance with the same generally accepted rules. The purpose of the study is to analyse various scientific approaches to understanding the administrative procedure, to define its features, and to determine the criteria for classifying the formation and development of administrative procedures in the field of economic activity. The methodological basis of the article is a set of methods and techniques of scientific cognition, both general scientific (logical, historical and legal, systemic analysis, etc.) and special (documentary analysis, comparative legal methods, etc.), which contributes to the achievement of the set goals, ensures a complete and comprehensive understanding of the research topic, scientific reliability and convincing results. The author identifies the characteristic features of administrative procedures: openness, focus on the realisation of public interests, consistent orderliness, normativity, discretion, etc. The criteria for classification of administrative procedures have also been the subject of debate, which eventually led to the development of a significant number of them. The author determines that the content of administrative procedures is the procedure for consideration and resolution of individual administrative cases by administrative authorities and local self-government bodies with a view to protecting the rights and legitimate interests, and also to fulfilling the statutory obligations of all subjects of legal relations. Based on the study, the author formulates conclusions and provides recommendations on the need to amend the Law of Ukraine "On Administrative Procedure" to regulate the mechanism of implementation of the principle of "tacit consent" in legal relations between public authorities and business entities. The introduction of the principle of tacit consent in practice should solve a number of problems in the area of issuing permits. The main ones are: reducing the real time spent by business entities on obtaining permits; limiting the opportunities for abuse by representatives of public authorities related to the delay in the timeframe for issuing pre-trial documents established by the current legislation; business entities avoid unjustified termination or suspension of business activities.
