| description | Social needs and instruments for their satisfaction — public goods — have
been studied. Attention is drawn to the fact that social needs are composed
of individual and collective needs of economic entities. They are interrelated
and complementary. An important difference between individual and collective
needs is in their personification (individualization) and divisibility. Proper
consideration has been paid to concepts related to the needs of society —
the public interest (as a form of social needs), public goods (all the goods,
services that can satisfy social needs). For studying social needs and benefits
in this work there was taken one of the most popular of their classification,
which lies in their division into primary and secondary ones. Emphasis
is placed on importance of its use in determining the priority of financing
public goods. The focus is on the approach to calculating the cost of public
goods. It is regarded as one of the stages in satisfying social needs (along
with planning and analysis of the degree for their satisfaction). An approach
to determining the structure of financing the total volume of public goods, calculating minimum admissible and desired volume of financing has been
presented. The current interest in the European experience prompted the
authors to analyze the cost and structure of financing public goods in France,
the available statistical base allowing it to be implemented. The determined
dependence between the indicators enabled conducting calculations of the
desired volumes of financing the public needs per person according to three
scenarios: optimistic, satisfactory and critical relevant to phases of the economic
cycle. This simulation is aimed at being used in management decisionmaking,
development of social and economic policy, etc. There have been
noted serious shortcomings related to the lack of quality and reliable statistical
information on Ukraine, which hamper the calculation and consideration
