The sociological analysis of the Kursk region stock market state: raising a problem
A developed stock market promotes the capital accumulation for investment in production and social spheres, economic restructuring, the positive development dynamics of social structure, opportunities for every citizen to own and freely dispose of securities. The results of economic studies suggest indirectly that the stock market should be developing successfully in the Kursk region - because there are favorable economic conditions. However, while the region's economy needs financial resources and the population has these resources, the investing process in the economy through the stock market instruments in the Kursk region has not developing yet. The author shows that the key to solving this problem lies in the sociological area. For sociology can investigate the economic phenomena as a form of social action that takes into account the influence of various social factors (motivation, irrationality, relations features, cultural and historical tradition, the role of the authorities, etc.) on the development of both Russian and regional stock market. But for now the majority of Russian sociological studies considered the stock market simplistic no more than a platform for the exchange speculations. The article provides a detailed description of the primary and secondary stock market, described securities floating on the stock market. The article presents the data characterizing the current stock market state: the number of private investors, the territorial deployment of issuers listed on the Moscow stock exchange, the state of collective investment. A special attention is given to the Kursk region stock market elements, including quantitative and qualitative indicators characterizing the development of this socio-economic region institution. The author's analysis results lead to the conclusion that the regional stock market is in its nascent state. To determine the explicit and latent causes, the author planned the further research of the Kursk region stock market.
