Annotation: The article describes the economic and social factors of the emergence of rental income and traces the historical processes that contributed to the forming of the system of redistribution of rental income to the public sector of the economy. The article describes how the forming of the institution of the state contributed to the fact that the rental income began to be systematically extracted by economic agents. The definitions given by different authors to the concept of “social sector” are presented, the lack of consistency of existing definitions is found. It is also revealed that the defining characteristics of the social sector are, first, its focus on the creation and distribution of public goods, and second, that different ways of redistributing income received in other sectors of the economy dominate among the methods of financing the public sector. Special attention is paid to the role of patronage and charity institutions in the system of rent redistribution, which is assessed as important, and the degree of integration of this institution into the system is recognized as insufficient for nowadays. The results of the study are applicable in developing areas for reforming the mechanisms of strategic partnership between the state and private economic agents owning rent.

Annotation: The article postulates the interaction of developing economic systems with the biosphere, deviating from established norms. It is this that actualizes the search for the best solutions to this interaction. Therefore, the optimization of the interaction of achieving an acceptable compromise between the efficiency of economic systems and the safety of the biosphere based on genetic algorithms is proposed. As a scientific and methodical approach, continuous mechanisms of multimodal genetic optimization of economic systems are predetermined.

Annotation: A number of states are already on the verge of exhausting the available possibilities for intra-basin and interbasin transfers of part of the river flow and rational water management of the territory. This forces us to start studying and developing water sharing projects based on interzonal (interstate) territorial transfers of part of the river flow. The analysis of the dynamics and forecasts of water consumption clearly indicate that the coming century will be characterized for humanity by the search for solutions to the problem of water resources, and will become for the world community a period of solving the problems of mutually beneficial sharing of water resources between states on the basis of large-scale territorial redistribution of water resources.

Annotation: The article describes the general characteristics of the world oil market, identifies the largest centers of international oil trade. The geographical structure of the world oil market has been studied and the leading countries have been identified in terms of production and consumption of oil. The balance of supply and demand has been determined. The analysis of economic indicators of the world oil market, such as the geographical structure and dynamics of the physical volumes of proven oil reserves, the geographical structure and dynamics of oil production for 2016–2020, was carried out. Since oil is the most traded commodity on the world market, the article describes the structure of world oil exports in 2016–2020, and also examines the dynamics of the value of international oil trade in 2016–2020. Based on the study, the authors proposed trends in the world oil market in the context of the participating countries.

Annotation: The subject of the study is the directions of digitalization in the European region. The mechanism of publicprivate partnership (PPP) as digitalization tool is also considered in the article. The purpose of the study is the investigation of digitalization areas and the development of digital technologies in the European Union (EU), including their role in the issues of the green economy creation. The research also systemizes forms of PPPs and their role in provision of sufficient digital technological independence of the European Union. The study is based on a comprehensive approach to the consideration of socio-economic problems of regional development of the EU, including a systematic comparative analysis, economic and statistical method. Experience of useful samples of public-private partnerships aimed at regional technological independence is herewith analyzed . As a result of the conducted research, the structure of the planned digital transformation of the region is determined, its main goals and objectives are highlighted, the forms of public-private partnerships designed to promote further digitalization in the EU are characterized, the role of planned innovations in the further socio-economic development of the region is studied. The study focuses on the aspects of integrated digitalization relevant to the Russian Federation and its potential partners and the corresponding PPP mechanisms.
