Ukraine has been undergoing the prolonged crisis resulting in the array of socio-economic problems. The increasing integration and globalization of production processes have resulted in the erected artificial borders between countries, dividing them into rich and poor ones. To bridge the gap in the life standards between rich countries and Ukraine, the emulation strategy should be selected. The essence of the emulation strategy is in copying the methods of economic activities in the countries that are most acceptable for Ukraine; their measures, mechanisms and instruments of influence; legal acts and economic principles, with proper adaptation to the national environment.
The emulation strategy in Ukraine, as a means for addressing socio-economic problems, will be effective, once a comparative base is selected in a correct and substantiated manner. The comparison needs to be made by a set of qualitative and quantitative indicators. Bearing in mind the Ukraine’s location, demography component, historic specifics and mental attitude of its residents, the countries selected for international comparative analysis are Belarus, Poland and France.
The quantitative comparison of the economic performance in Ukraine and the selected countries is made by per capita GDP in international dollars by current exchange rate and PPP; and the total index of physical volume of GDP. The qualitative comparison is made by the criteria: institutional framework for the economy operation, or type of regulation; technologies, technological patterns or the science & technology advancement; endogenous and exogenous orientation of national macrosystems; type of consumption; product of consumption: intermediary (“raw materials and semi-finished products” or “means of production”) or finished (“products and services”).
The study shows that when the quality components are ignored, this will not only go contrary to the interpretation of the economic development from dialectics perspective, but also suppress the quantitative components, because economic development is a process of balanced qualitative and quantitative change. 24 types of the economic development of national macrosystems were statistically substantiated and identified over years of previous studies; the most developed ones have the type varying in the range of 20-24. It means that Ukraine, with 1 type of the economic development, needs to have it changed for 20-24.
