Questions of Application of the Methodology of Threshold Values for Determining the State of Socio-Economic Systems

One of the most problematic issues of security methodologies of social and economic systems is determination and use of threshold (extremely critical) values of the indicators chosen for assessment and the analysis of security status. In the article, the authors presented the critical analysis of opportunities of the modern approaches to the analysis of security using threshold values of indicators. We offered the methods of the system analysis what allow partially compensating these shortcomings for practical use on the basis of an integrated approach and accounting of nonlinear dynamics of the social and economic system. The authors selected three groups of indicators. For each of groups, there is a different approach to the interpretation of threshold values: functioning of the economy; social, economic, and socio-psychological state of society; strategic development. Also, we select seven methodological bases of determination of threshold values, on each of which the group of methods can be used. On the basis of the offered technique, it can be developed information technology for use in the state system of monitoring and assessment of a condition of economic security of Russia.
