Abstract
Taking into account the current economic agenda, returning to a path of sustainable growth is a fundamentally relevant issue. One of the key drivers may be increased labor productivity. However, regional differences in the dynamics of scientific and technological potential may hinder the achievement of this goal. The article provides a comparative analysis of the dynamics of labor productivity and the models of technological development demonstrated by Russian regions for the period 2010–2020. To take into account regional heterogeneity, the country’s regions were grouped into four groups according to two dimensions – the level oflabor productivity and the level of scientific and technological development. It was found that the growth of labor productivity in different groups of regions was accompanied by different combinations of capital-labor dynamics, changes in innovative and absorptive abilities, and production efficiency. The results of the study also indicate the priorities of regional scientific, technical and industrial policy: 1) support for the growth of capital-labor ratio in developed and developing regions; 2) for developing regions with high scientific and technical potential – priority areas of support should be related to increasing innovative capabilities, and for low ones – with stimulating increased production efficiency.
