DEVELOPMENT MODELING OF THE REGIONAL ECONOMY IN THE INDUSTRY 4.0 CONDITIONS

Abstract

The development of the Russian economy should take into account the implementation of the Industry 4.0 concept. This concept does not have clear assessment parameters. Estimating such parameters is problematic. The development of high-tech industries is one of the main objectives of the implementation of Industry 4.0. Prediction of economic development in modern conditions is possible on the basis of mathematical modeling methods. The difference in technological stage of the domestic economy determines the feasibility of a regional approach. Agent-based modeling is the optimal approach to solving this problem. This approach allows simulating the activities of agents. The simulated environment sets the conditions for the agents to function. A gravitational model proposed to assess the economic system functioning environment. The proposed gravitational model allows us to assess the relationship between regions on the basis of high-tech trade. The approbation carried in the Sverdlovsk region conditions. As a result of the study established, the development of the Sverdlovsk region high-tech environment, covering the main industrial regions of The Urals, Volga and Siberian federal districts, and the Central Region. Purpose: Construction of the spatial development an assessing model of high-tech environment in the agent-oriented model of territories economic development in the Industry 4.0 conditions. Methodology: methods of system, structural and logical analysis, tools of gravitational modeling. Results: The proposed gravitational model allowed us to assess the interregional interrelations of Sverdlovsk region on the basis of high-tech trade. Practical implications: The results can be useful for assessing the environment of the economic system in the context of Industry 4.0 in the agent-oriented approach.
