Abstract

The problem was raised of the public entrepreneurship role as a factor affecting the development of the regions. The urgency of the research is due to the fact that the issue of state participation in the national and regional economies remains controversial in economic science. This is especially important for the countries with emerging markets. For Ukraine the importance of the research is peculiar because another wave of privatization is expected.

The author offered her method of analysis that complements the existing approaches to evaluating the effectiveness of the institutional phenomenon, in particular, the use of the methods for comparative analysis of the concentration of state business in the world countries and Ukraine, and assessment of state entrepreneurship functional load in specific regions. The empirical analysis is made, and the functions of public entrepreneurship formed for ensuring the regional development. The conclusion is made on the appearance of economic, social, environmental and political risks when making unreasonable decisions about the prospects for public entrepreneurship, and suggestions are substantiated for the selection of the criterial base for institutional changes in entrepreneurship development all through the regions.
