O.I. Laiko has made a significant contribution to the scientific support and study of the aspects and priorities of the development of the national economy and the economy of the Ukrainian Black Sea coast. In particular, he developed the theoretical and methodological foundations for studying and regulating the processes of economic development of regional economic systems, using the example of the Ukrainian Black Sea coast; he defined the theoretical principles and mechanisms of the investment and innovation support of the region’s economic development on the basis of intensifying cooperation in the inter-territorial and inter-sectoral dimensions under the conditions of local self-government reform. He formed theoretical-methodological and methodical approaches to assessing and regulating the movement of financial capital and investment in the national economy and in strategic commodity markets. O.I. Laiko took an active part in developing and improving a number of draft laws and regional programmes and strategies for the socio-economic, investment and innovation development of the Odesa region. He works actively on issues of intensifying investment activity at the national, regional and international levels, promoting the development of strategic commodity markets, attracting investment and preventing the outflow of capital from the national economy abroad. O.I. Laiko’s scientific work is also devoted to the issues of forming and reproducing added value in the national economy, developing measures to increase the social productivity of entrepreneurial activity in Ukraine, forming theoretical-methodological and methodical tools for regulating the development of territorial-economic regional economic systems, and stimulating the innovative development of the economy under the influence of globalisation processes and crisis phenomena, taking into account the challenges and prospects of implementing reforms in Ukraine and building a model of sustainable development. The researcher’s scientific interests also include issues of tax regulation of economic development at the national, regional and basic levels, budgetary and financial policy, the formation of modern accounting-analytical and management systems at enterprises, and approaches to the mathematical modelling of economic processes.
