Abstract:

Purpose. Development of a methodology for identifying leaders of modern world development based on the ranking of applicants by key indicators that reflect the status and trends of their development.

Methodology. The development of a methodology for identifying world leaders is based on four criteria: the country’s economic potential; opportunities to influence other countries and the development of the world economy as a whole; efficiency of available potential use; the country’s innovation. The calculation of the Global Leadership Index is based on comparing the corresponding indicator for each country with the best indicator in the world and adjusting it by the weight factor. The sum of the results will be shown by the Global Leadership Index.

Finding. Based on the analysis, it is revealed that the undisputed economic leaders of the modern world are the US and the EU, which have virtually the same value of the Global Leadership Index. However, due to the monolithic character the United States position is more preferable. The role of leaders can also be claimed by China and Germany. Although China is still inferior to the US and the EU, the dynamics of its economic development and the magnitude of its impact on the world give reason to predict its approach to leaders. On the contrary, Russia and India can still only claim to be regional leaders, not world leaders.

Originality. The original methodology for calculating the Global Leadership Index, based on the country’s ranking of GDP, exports of goods and FDI in global indicators, as well as GDP per capita and Global Index, has been proposed.

Practical value. The results of the study can be used to identify trends in world leaders’ changes and to predict possible directions for exacerbation of contradictions on this basis.
