Title

The issues of increasing the effectiveness of teaching comparative economics


Abstract

In the conditions of intensive globalization processes, the problem of international comparisons of countries' development increases. The usual methods of comparisons based on macroeconomic indicators today do not reflect the real reality, so it becomes important in the teaching of economic Sciences to give students a methodology for comparing the economic development of countries on the basis of numerous rating studies. In recent years, the development of rating comparisons has become one of the priorities of many international economic organizations. These rankings make it possible to significantly supplement and specialize international comparisons, to teach students the perfect techniques that allow them to quickly engage in international projects and research, to do business.
