The paper presents the results of food security research in the Russia Federation. Providing food security and country's independence becomes the core of keeping the national sovereignty under conditions of globalization and integration processes development. It determined the research relevance. The purpose of the research is the development of a new methodological approach to monitoring of food security as one of most important components of an efficient protection system of the latter. Integrative reproduction approach to monitoring of country's food security meeting stability criteria, economic and social ecological efficiency, competitive ability and safety is suggested. The composition of indicators arranged in four groups is developed within the framework of such approach in order to carry out all-round monitoring of Russian Federation's food security: agroindustrial complex production capacity and its efficient use; food accessibility; food affordability; food quality and level. The assessment of Russian Federation's agriculture facilities, agricultural products output dynamics, agricultural raw materials and provisions export and import, level of staple foods consumption by the population and Russians' diet is given based on indicative analysis. The main threats to Russia's food security are revealed (productive powers deindustrialization; low level of investment to the agricultural sector; labour force reduction; increase in dependence on imported foodstuff; population's low income level and living standards, etc.) Recommendations regarding Russian Federation's food security level increase are given (carrying out augmented technologic modernization, establishing a brand new enterprise network, development of associations and cooperatives, increase in government control combined with agricultural producers' business activity, development of market forms of cooperation and integration).
The article presents the results of study of the impact of the macro environment on investment activities in the Russian Federation for the period 1990-2014. The constructed economic and mathematical models, confirming quite substantial relationship between the dynamics of gross investments in fixed capital and the dynamics of gross profit as a potential source of financial investment in most of sectors of the Russian economy, indicate the need for a qualitative improvement of the macro environment in order to stimulate investment activity in the country during the passage to a new industrial development. The conclusion is that the neo-industrial investments (science-based, high-technology and innovative) act as a key condition for sustainable overcoming of the deindustrialization of production forces, as well as for the passing of the Russian economy to a new development paradigm. The article also makes recommendations regarding the creation of a favorable macro environment for investment activity of economic entities when
The article justifies the mission of environmental investment in the context of the neo-industrial paradigm of modern development. This approach considers socio-economic development in its organic connection with the environment (the green lifestyle). Environmental investment involves solving the complex growth dilemma of the economy by reducing the negative impacts of the latter on the environment and introducing positive social changes. The authors determined the role of this process in the neo-industrial aspect of economic growth. The goal of this research is to prove the hypothesis of the interinfluence between environmental investment and economic growth. The authors built a multi-factor regression model to analyze the data, which showed a statistically significant relationship between environmental investment and Russia's GDP growth during 2000-2017. This led to the conclusion that the tightening of environmental policies in Russia is accompanied by not a decrease but an increase in the real GDP. On the basis of tree clustering and kmeans clustering, the authors classified the regions of Russia and found that the high level of air pollution is not always accompanied by an increase in investment in environmental protection and three atypical clusters were identified. Moreover, the authors identified the main factors hindering environmental investment in the modern Russian economy, as well as determined the main conditions for its enhancement, which will increase the country's potential for economic growth in the long run, considering its neo-industrial accumulation. Keywords: growth dilemma; neo-industrial paradigm of modern development; environmental investment; green (circular) economy; neoindustrial type of economic growth Reference to this paper should be made as follows:
This study aims to econometrically assess multidimensional poverty in Russia with regard to the quantitative and qualitative parameters of the population’s life-sustaining activities. Russia’s partial integrated poverty indices were constructed based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative parameters characterizing the possibilities of satisfying needs in the main spheres/sectors of human values. The indicators that affect the poverty level in the country were determined using linear regression models. The available time lag in the regression models enabled us to make a short-term forecast of changes in the poverty level in Russia. The proposed approach to assessing the national poverty level considers monetary indicators related to the level of income of the population, the affordability of services necessary to meet human needs, and the presence of opportunity costs, which imply sacrificing a person's free time to ensure the material wellbeing necessary for life
