“…There is an assumption that the latest technologies should reduce the impact of the geographical location of business entities on the results of their economic activity [5], but regions located closer to large cities are becoming leaders in economic development" [6,7]. Geographical features of regions continue to have a significant impact on the ability of economic entities to introduce innovations [8].…”

As the main hypothesis, it is suggested that the existing unevenness in the number of precision farming elements used in agriculture in the subjects of the Russian Federation is related to regional characteristics and specific features of the agricultural sector of the regional economy. The purpose of the study is to identify the geographical features of the regions that are most preferable for the use of precision farming technology in agricultural production. Mathematical modeling uses data from 20 subjects of the Russian Federation on the dynamics of the introduction and use of precision farming elements and the characteristics of these regions for 14 different indicators that can in one way or another affect the introduction of these technologies. Multiple correlation was obtained using 5 characteristics of regions (the correlation coefficient was r=0.89±0.1). At the same time, two indicators (the change in the level of registered unemployment and the amount of subsidies per 1 ha of agricultural land) were inversely dependent on the result of the introduction of precision farming elements. The selected indicators determined the intensity of introduction of precision farming elements in the regions by almost 80% (the coefficient of determination was D=0.798). The identification of these features and the construction of an appropriate model allows to predict the most preferred regions for the use of precision farming elements in agricultural production based on the generalization of existing experience.

“…One of the main challenges these firms are facing is the lack of knowledge about doing business abroad and the lack of special capacities, such as innovations and others (Neparko & Frolova, 2019). These problems are addressed to a greater extent to domestic firms and are less critical for internationally operated ones, since they have better access to knowledge due to global experience and networks (Davidson et al, 2018). There is a low level of participation in innovation activities of domestic Russian firms (about 20-30%); whereas, large international companies demonstrate a relatively high level (about 75%).…”

“…There is a low level of participation in innovation activities of domestic Russian firms (about 20-30%); whereas, large international companies demonstrate a relatively high level (about 75%). 19 Thus, sanctioned Russian domestic firms show less initiative in introducing innovative capacities than international ones: the larger the company, the more it is inclined to innovate (Davidson et al, 2018).…”

The aim of this paper is to reveal the effects of sanctions at the firm level, with the special attention to cooperation and innovation activity of sanctioned firms. Specifically, the differences between domestic and international companies in their ability to adapt to the sanctions in terms of their cooperation with partners and capability to innovate are discussed. The study argues that firms operating in international markets tend to prioritize product innovation and entering new markets to overcome negative consequences of sanctions. In addition, they are more likely to improve their products and to find new markets to compensate for losses and fill their unused capacities. An important finding having both managerial and political value is that operating in the international market may not necessarily provide an advantage in terms of new partners in the local market but rather facilitate the search for new foreign markets. Inviting the government to provide assistance for Russian domestic and international firms on an equal basis, we admit that with varying degrees of control and interest in national firms, the Russian government can help sanctioned companies in different ways, regardless the scale of their internationalization. The study contributes to the literature on the impact of economic sanctions at the firm-level and in the context of the domestic market of the sanctioned country.

“…Along with development of high tech industries, innovations in various industries are important for diversification of the economy. Among the factors crucial for the firm level innovations in the Russian regions are institutions and human capital; foreign direct investment and the already existing regional innovative output; besides, both competitive environment and state subsidies proved to stimulate innovations; the results vary across regions (Davidson et al, 2018).…”

International economic relations are important for the countries' economic growth, especially in the modern world of global value chains and rapid technological development. Russia is known for its comparative advantage in natural resources and for its intentions to diversify the economy. Indeed, specialization in natural resources is not associated with sustainable economic growth. We analyze Russia's specialization in trade over the period 2009-2018 including the year 2014 when economic and financial sanctions were introduced. We follow the dynamics of Russia's comparative advantages in different categories of goods in trade with all world countries, BRICS countries and Eurasian Economic Union over these years. Our aim is to shed more light on the current specialization of Russia in order to understand the possibilities of diversifying the economy. We analyze short term consequences of difficulties in international relations that Russia faces, and provide an insight into the long run development of trade. We conclude that Russia currently has a prevailing comparative advantage in material-intensive industries and needs to develop innovations in order to diversify its economy and obtain a comparative advantage in the other categories of goods, including high-tech sector. The results can be useful for development of economic policy.
