Finance Theory

Introduction. Financial science in Ukraine is still characterized by a state-centered approach to analyzing fiscal processes. It remains the theory of government finance, while in the West, in the course of scientific divergence, the theory of public finance has emerged, which derives their determinism from individual interests and needs. Purpose is to study the historical aspects of the theory of public finance in the process of evolutionary divergence of financial sciences. Methods. The methods of comparison, logical analysis and historical method of scientific knowledge are used in the work. Results. The process of historical divergence of financial science has been investigated, which has outlined some areas that explore public finance, corporate finance and personal finance. It is revealed that the origins of public financial management belong to the antique period, and the final awareness of the publicity of finances is laid since the establishment of constitutionalism in European countries. It is proved that the term “finance” at the time of its origin is used to describe the payment system, where the boundaries between the king's personal finances, public funds, government and bank credit are erased. It is shown that at the turn of the XIX–XX centuries, Western economic thought followed the divergence of financial science in three independent directions. It is found that the concept of “public finance” was only introduced into the scientific community at the end of the 19th century, and the use of the term “finance” is fixed in the area of corporate finance. It is established that the foundations of scientific study of financial phenomena based on deductive method and abstract approach are laid by the classical school of political economy. It is proved that the analysis of taxes and public expenditures in relation, through the prism of individual interests and subjective value, made a methodological revolution and became the last step towards the formation of the modern theory of public finance. Conclusions. The priority of domestic financial thought is its transition from the theory of government finance to the theory of public finance in the context of integration into the conceptual paradigm of Western financial science.

Finance Theory

The method of the public finance theory is understood as a set of the following components: initial positions and worldviews; specific research methods; and the ways to verify the results. The initial assumptions and worldviews of the Western public finance theory, modern Ukrainian public finance theory and its Soviet predecessor are compared. The difference of approaches within these theories concerning worldview is revealed, namely: their conceptual and philosophical basis (materialism / idealism); traditions of using the historical method; the role of the base and superstructure in financial science; focus on value / utility in studies dealing with the nature of fiscal phenomena; differences in interpreting the basic unit of analysis (individual, group, or class); the organic / mechanistic concepts of state used; explanation of the nature of the interaction between the basic units of analysis; attitude to the positive / normative approach. The methodological orientation of the Western financial thought on methodological individualism; that of the Soviet state finance theory on methodological holism, and the lack of precision in these issues of Ukraine’s modern financial science are mentioned. The author refers to the negative trend in assessing fiscal phenomena in Ukraine from the standpoint of state-centrism and the interests and needs of the state, which arises precisely on the basis of the holistic methodological attitudes and the predominance of the organic view of the state. It is shown that modern domestic financial science is still in transition. Due to its worldview, it is a theory of state finance (financial resources of the state), while the Western science is a theory of public finance (public funds, belonging to the society as a whole). The paper outlines the guidelines for further transforming the methodological foundations of financial science in Ukraine.

The present article undertakes a critical review of the new book of Jean Tirole, the winner of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Economics, “The theory of cor- porate finance”, which has recently been published in Russian. The book makes a real contribution to the profession by summarizing the whole field of corporate finance and bringing together a big body of research developed over the last thirty years. By simplifying modeling, using unified analytical apparatus, undertaking reinterpretation of many previously received results, and structuring the material in original way Tirole achieves a necessary unity and simplicity in exposition of extremely heterogeneous theoretical and empirical material. The book integrates the new institutional economic theory into classical corporate finance theory and by doing so contributes to making a new type of textbook, which is quite on time and is likely to become essential reading for all graduate students in corporate finance and microeconomics and for everyone interested in these disciplines.

Abstract. The article describes the approaches to defining the essence of understanding «public finance» and «public finance management» in the context of administrative and financial decentralization. A study on the current state of economic development of Ukraine is carried and the public financial management system is analyzed. The dynamics of the ratio of revenues and expenditures of the State and local budgets is shown and the national and subnational levels in the financing of public expenditures are described. The sequence of achieving a new level of welfare of the population is presented and the ways of state influence on local economic development are outlined. The content of the state’s activity on financial resources management and public importance of finances is given. Particular attention is paid to the financial capacity of UTC and the existing positive developments within the decentralization reform in Ukraine. The need to improve the management of public finances was emphasized, as it was evidenced by the size of the budget deficit. The division of budget expenditures by functional classification between the national and subnational levels is presented and the decline of financial independence of subnational budgets is witnessed. An assessment of the level of confidence in financial asset management services of territorial communities based on the calculation of the relevant index is made, and the relationship between the selected indicators (the monetary expenditures of the population; deposits of individuals in investment funds; population savings; volume of capital investments; volume of investments in Ukraine; assets of investment funds) and the level of public confidence in the management of UTC financial assets is researched.  Keywords: financial management, public finance, financial capacity of territorial communities, financial assets.

The Rule Of Law

Entrepreneurship is the main bearer of economic activity, which is why the company is central to public life, and moreover, the entrepreneur is recognised as the soul of the company. However, some entrepreneurs, unaware of the rule of law and responsibility, take risks in areas such as corporate finance, financial management, trade and product quality, which leads to an increase in crime among entrepreneurs, which to some extent limits the development of market economies. Entrepreneurial crime as a negative social phenomenon reveals institutional weaknesses in the functioning, management, control and other links of enterprises. In order to overcome previous risks, improvement of the concept, mechanism, organisation and methods of legal risk management should be organically combined with the production and management of the enterprise in order to form a system of prevention and effective prevention of entrepreneurial crime.

AbstractIn Germany, the current situation of local government finance is still worrying. Up to now, all political attempts to reform the German local tax system fundamentally led to no satisfying result. For this reason, new reform initiatives gain particular attention in scientific and political discussion. Against this background, the paper examines the proposal for reform of the existing local tax system presented by Stiftung Marktwirtschaft. By highlighting public finance characteristics of economically reasonable local government finances as well as public choice characteristics of a politically successful reform, it will be shown that within some small but important modifications the proposal of Stiftung Marktwirtschaft is in a position to solve local government finance problems in a durable manner. This result is consecuted by an empirical simulation of the fiscal effects for all German local authorities. The fiscal simulation demonstrates that more then ninety percent of German cities and municipalities will gain from a political implementation of the proposal for reform.
