Динамичное развитие интеграционных процессов в мировой экономике определяет актуальность вопросов оценки эффективности международной экономической интеграции, рассмотрению механизма формирования совокупного эффекта. В настоящее время не сформировались методические подходы, позволяющие комплексно оценить эффективность экономической интеграции стран, в то время как теоретически обоснованы многообразные эффекты, представляющие последствия развития интеграционных процессов. Изучения эффектов международной экономической интеграции и их количественная оценка являются актуальными теоретическими и практически значимыми вопросами. Проведённый анализ соответствует содержанию современного этапа исследований международной экономической интеграции. Цель исследования – обобщающая оценка эффективности международной экономической интеграции на основе выводов теоретического анализа эффектов интеграции. В соответствии с данной целью рассмотрены следующие исследовательские вопросы: систематизация видов эффектов, формируемых интеграцией; анализ возможности количественной оценки прямых интеграционных эффектов; условия достижения положительного эффекта от участия страны в интеграции; рассмотрение состава показателей, используемых в качестве индикаторов эффективности интеграции; обобщающая оценка эффективности интеграции на основе показателей экономической динамики по ряду интеграционных объединений; обоснование перспективных направлений аналитических исследований на основе тенденций развития интеграционных процессов. Методы исследования: для проведения исследования были использованы, позволяющие реализовать количественного подход к оценке эффективности международной интеграции. Методологическую основу составляет систематизация интеграционных эффектов, которые обоснованы теоретически, и взаимосвязь между которыми определяет возможность применения метода обобщающих показателей для оценки эффективности международной экономической интеграции. Практические вопросы анализа эффективности интеграции рассматривались на основе показателей, которые соответствуют целям макроэкономического развития стран и целям экономической интеграции: темпы роста ВВП на душу населения; сравнительный анализ динамики ВВП и экспорта; динамика экспортной квоты. Использовались методы сравнительного анализа, ретроспективного анализа, обобщающих показателей, статистическая методология. Метод обобщающих показателей теоретически обоснован и обеспечен доступной информационной базой. Результаты исследования определили вывод о целесообразности оценки эффективности международной экономической интеграции на нескольких уровнях, в зависимости от этого целесообразно применение, как разных оценочных критериев, так и методов оценки. Выполнена оценка эффективности на уровне интеграционного объединения, а также сравнительный анализ по наиболее значимым интеграционным объединениям мира. В целом выполненные расчёты характеризуют положительный эффект интеграции по показателям экономической динамики. Однако оценка эффективности как фактора экономического роста по интеграционным объединениям существенно различается. Для оценки эффективности международной экономической интеграции в настоящих условиях необходимы дополнительные исследования, связанные с анализом влияния интеграционных процессов на мировую экономику в целом, а также для оценки экономических последствий расширения интеграционных процессов в новых форматах.

The dynamic development of integration processes in the global economy determines the relevance of assessing the effectiveness of international economic integration and examines the mechanisms of cumulative effect formation. Currently, there are no methodological approaches for a comprehensive assessment of countries economic integration effectiveness. However, there are theoretical issues representing the consequences of integration processes development. The research concerns with the effects of international economic integration and their quantitative assessment. The conducted analysis corresponds to the current stage of research. The purpose of the research is to provide a general assessment of international economic integration effectiveness based on the theoretical analysis of integration effects. This research considers the following aspects: systematisation of the types of effects generated by integration; analysis of quantitatively assessing direct integration effects; conditions for achieving a positive effect from a country's participation in integration; indicators of integration effectiveness; a general assessment of integration effectiveness based on indicators of economic dynamics for a number of integration associations; substantiation of promising areas of analytical research based on trends in the development of integration processes. The methodological basis is a systematisation of theoretically substantiated integration effects. However, the interrelationships between them determine the feasibility of using the method of summary indicators to assess the effectiveness of international economic integration. The research considers the practical aspects of analysing integration effectiveness. It aligns with national macroeconomic development goals and economic integration objectives: GDP per capita growth rates, comparative analysis of GDP and export dynamics, export quota dynamics. The basic research methods involve comparative analysis, retrospective analysis, summary indicators, and statistical methodology. The method of summary indicators has a theoretically substantiation and supported by an accessible information base. It is necessary to assess the effectiveness of international economic integration at several levels, assessment criteria, and methods. We performed a comparative analysis of the world's most significant integration associations. As a result, integration has a positive effect based on economic dynamics indicators. However, assessments of effectiveness as a factor in economic growth vary significantly across integration associations. Therefore, to assess the effectiveness of international economic integration there is a need in the additional research on the impact of integration processes on the global economy.
