Economic and mathematical methods noware widely used and are an important direction in improving the analysis of the activities of economic entities, as well as their divisions. This can be achieved by reducing the timeframe for the study, the deep characterization of factors, and also by replacing complex calculations with simpler ones. In addition, in the process multidimensional tasks are set and solved, which can not be performed by traditional methods or manually.
Mathematical methods of economic analysis require:
1) systematic approaches in the study of the economic activities of enterprises, as well as the accounting of all interrelated areas in various areas of the organization;
2) to develop a complex of economic and mathematical models that reflect the characteristics of the tasks and processes in quantitative terms;
3) improve the system of presenting information about the economic activity of the enterprise;
4) the availability of automated systems that are responsible for processing, storing and transmitting the data necessary for applying the methods;
5) the organization of specially trained personnel, which will consist of mathematicians, programmers, economists, operators, etc.
The task can be formulatedappropriately and solved using economic and mathematical methods. Also widespread is statistics. Its methods are used in the case when the analyzed indicators change in a random order. Statistical methods help to solve problems for which the forecast is necessary.
The use of mathematics in economics is dueincreasing the efficiency of the analysis of the enterprise activity due to the fact that the expansion of the studied factors is used and the rationale of the decisions made. Also, the choice of the best options for the use of resources and the identification of reserves to improve the efficiency of production and the development of labor.
Economic and mathematical methods can be divided into 4 groups:
1) accurate optimization;
2) approximate;
3) exact not optimization;
4) approximate.
The use of these methods for analyzing activitiesIt helps companies to get a clear idea of the object under study, to quantitatively describe and characterize its external relations and internal structure. Economic and mathematical methods are used primarily in modeling. The sample that is finally obtained is a model of the object of study. The control subject creates it with the display of the characteristics: properties, interrelations, structural and functional parameters of the object, etc.
Unfortunately, in the economic and mathematicalmodeling situation may arise when the object under study has a complex structure. As a result, it is difficult to create a sample that will cover all the features of the system under study. An example is the economy of the economic entity as a whole.
