Quantitative crisis analysis : identifying and defining imbalances

Dedicated to the study of the possibility of using quantitative analysis tools to determine mac-roeconomic imbalances as potential harbingers of the spread of the crisis. It is noted that in modern conditions of a rapid course of crisis situations, it is advisable to use nonlinear models, an example of which is nonparametric models based on the signaling approach, providing for the use of macro-indicators (indicators) characterizing the economy's resistance to crises. To predict the emergence of negative trends in the development of the economy in the future, the authors developed and pro-posed for use a regression model with performance indicators, which reflects the dependence of the probability of the onset of the period of «crisis» on a number of economic indicators and carried out its approbation for the Ukrainian economy.

The authors indicated the corrective measures of economic policy on the part of the macroeco-nomic regulation authorities in order to suspend the inertial development of the forecast situation
