Abstract
In 2015 UN established 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as priorities for further development for 193 member countries. SDGs include 169 targets, which cover all issues of sustainability. Governments require specific researches to elaborate adequate strategies considering current parameters of social and economic development of countries. Eastern Partnership countries and the Russian Federation are classified as countries in transition with not really powerful economies. Therefore it’s very important to increase the efficiency of expenditures through enhancing institutions. This study attempts to research dependencies between changes in quality of institutions and SDGs performance for countries in transition. Panel data regression with offered Composite Index of Sustainable development Goals as dependent variable defines significance of links and can be used to define priorities in national policies.
Keywords: the Sustainable Development Goals, Eastern Partnership countries, composite index SDGs, institutions.
JEL Classification: Q01, Q56.
