PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF ATU GAGAUZIA, REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA: EXPERT APPROACH (RESULTS OF RESEARCH)

Abstract

In this article, I consider a new approach that can be used to build regional economic policy. The current situation of economic development makes new demands on the process of determining priorities in development, which later becomes key elements in decision-making at the state and regional levels. It is important to apply different methods and techniques for collecting and processing information. In 2019, a study was carried out to estimate the opinion of the expert community (50 people) about the problems and priorities of economic development in a particular region, an example of which was the autonomous-territorial unit Gagauzia (Gagauz Yeri) of the Republic of Moldova. Based on the results obtained, the author presented the results of the study and developed recommendations for the application of the expert approach in the future, when regional authorities develop strategic decisions and elaborate the documents at the regional level.
