Comparative estimates of innovation potential of the regions of the Russian federation

Abstract

This paper examines briefly methods estimating the innovation potential of the RF regions and presents the results of their comparison. The significance of the research of innovation potential is based, on one hand, on the ever increasing role of innovation and education assets of the Russian territories and, on the other, on essential shifts that have occurred in knowledge differentiation due to changes in technologies and in their use.

Macroeconomic assessment of the regional labor markets in the European part of the Russian Arctic

“…Manpower resources of the Euro pean part of the Arctic decreased by 546700 people (Table 1). 3 During that time, the largest relative reduc tion took place in the Murmansk region, i.e., by 15400 people, or 22.5%, while the smallest one occurred in the Arkhangelsk region, i.e., by 148500 people, or 16.7%. In Nenets Autonomous District, an increase occurred in the size of the manpower resources by 6600 people.…”

“…The policy of train ing employed population is equally important, as well as training and retraining the unemployed population to meet the needs of the economy in the manpower resources of necessary qualifications. Nevertheless, the resulting estimates provide guidance in determin ing the needs of the regions in the additional man power resources in the framework of the policy aimed at increasing labor force mobility [2,3]. Estimates of the number of vacancies can also serve as guidelines in implementing measures of creating highly productive working places at the federal and regional levels [15].…”

Applying of system models in the progress of formation and implementation of programs for innovative development of regions

“…Analysis of the research of Russian and foreign scientists on the problems of region innovative development (RID) made it possible to draw a conclusion about the established approaches to the management of RID, as well as conclusions about the institutional component for the formation of an appropriate innovation policy, support (including state), regulation of innovative processes (Alekseev, 2009;Bakhtizin and Akinfeeva, 2010;Doloreux and Parto, 2005;Kitsios and Kamariotou, 2018;Krugman, 1994;Kuznetsov, 2008;Lau and Lo, 2015;McGregor and Pouw, 2017;Medvedev, 2016;Mensch, 2006;Minaev et al, 2008;Polukeeva, 2014;Wahyudin and Hasibuan, 2015;Webster, 2002;Verganti, 2008;Polenske, 2007;Shash, 2014).…”

Analysis of Innovation Potential of Northern Russian Regions

“…За рубежом подобные исследования прово-дятся более 30 лет, в России они получили широкое распространение в последнее десятилетие [1]. Из наиболее известных зарубежных методик такого типа можно назвать методику Всемирного экономи-ческого форума для оценки конкуренто-способности 2 ; мониторинг Комиссии евро-пейских сообществ, включающий в себя более десяти различных инструментов 3 ; методику Организации экономического Анализ инновационного потенциала северных регионов России сотрудничества и развития 4 ; методику Аме-риканского научного фонда 5 ; Глобальный индекс инноваций 6 и др.…”
