In the context of the economic growth slowdown and the continued deepening of the Russian regions' social and economic differentiation there is the problem of spatial development. The study of innovation factors' impact on the social and economic development attains a particular interest in this context. In the article the econometric model of the innovation factors' impact on the social and economic development of the Russian regions is constructed. The results of the analysis indicate the imbalance of the regions' innovative development, which is determined by the absence of significant impact of indicators that characterize the process of instilling innovations. The innovative development analysis of the Tyumen region as a natural resources intensive use region indicates the relative lag behind not only the leading regions, but also behind the mean values. The necessity of institutional changes in order to stimulate the business' innovative development and in the first place the oil and gas sector's innovative development is based. Arctic projects have significant potential in this direction.
The official approach to the definition of poverty is analyzed and its main problems are shown based on the case study of Russian Arctic regions. In order to identify a comprehensive picture of poverty in the regions, indicators that characterize this phenomenon from monetary viewpoint are compared. The paper proves the need to classify a range of strategies to reduce poverty in the Russian Arctic zone regions. The findings reveal that a sensible poverty reduction strategy should focus both on the quantity of growth (that is, on the achievement of a high growth rate) and on the quality of growth (that is, on who benefits from that growth). We calculated the growth-inequality trade-off indices under the assumption that the per capita income follows a two-parameter lognormal distribution. We used the interpolation method as an analytical tool, supposing the selection of an empirical distribution curve for the given income ranges by the OLS method and the calculation of the necessary values of the
The article describes the actual methodological issues of the economic mesosystem modernization based mainly on the region with the raw specialization and the oil and gas industries focus. The theoretical and statistical analysis of social and economic regional development during the last years is maintained. The unsolved problems in this area are identified, and anti crisis measures are suggested. The peculiarity of social-economical development of Tyumen region as the oil and gas exploration region and the directions of increasing the competitiveness of mesoeconomical system are determined. Suggested approaches can be applied for reforming the system of the regional governing, developing regional and social policies.
