MODELING THE IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT AND IMPORTS ON EMPLOYMENT IN RUSSIA

The aim of the paper is to assess the impact of technological development and international trade on the level and structure of employment in Russian regions for the period of 2005-2019. The structure of employment is measured in terms of education level, sectoral specialization, and gender of the employed population. The contribution of the work to the scientific literature is expressed in three aspects. First, we empirically estimate the relationship between imports and employment structure. Second, we attempt to econometrically identify the impact of technological development on several indicators of regional employment. Third, we consider the joint impact of technological development and international trade in the estimated models on employment due to the complementarity of these factors. Based on a systemic generalized method of moments we reveal that technological development has: 1) a positive effect on the share of the employed specializing in mining industry, in the activities of hotels and public catering; 2) a negative impact on the share of the employed with secondary vocational and secondary general education, in agriculture, logistics, health care sectors. In terms of demographic indicators, a similar negative impact of technological development on the employment rate of women and men was obtained. At the same time, with growing total imports in the regions the threat of job losses for the employed with secondary vocational and secondary general education, the urban population, as well as those specializing in healthcare sector increases. Expenditures on fundamental research through the innovative development of regions are a factor in job creation. Technological development and foreign economic openness of the region are associated with greater adaptation of the employed population to competition in international trade and technological development.

Correlation between Scientific and Technological Achievements of Universities and Regional Innovation System in Ensuring Sustainable Economic Development at the Meso Level

The transformation of scientific and technological achievements of universities is of great importance for regional economic development and the development of scientific and technological innovation. Based on three aspects — the input of innovative resources, the output of scientific and technological achievements and the transformation of scientific and technological achievements — this study selected 13 indicators, such as scientific and technical expenditures, the number of scientific and technical personnel, the results of publication activities, intellectual activity, patents, contracts and income from the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, to build an indicator system for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements of colleges and universities; at the same time 7 indicators were selected, such as the number of scientific and technological personnel, funding, the number of patents and scientific and technological business-incubators, to build a regional system for assessing scientific and technical potential, a system for assessing regional scientific and technical innovation potential. Based on the factor analysis method, the transformation scores of scientific and technological achievements of universities and regional scientific and technological innovations in each region of China in 2019–2021 were calculated; secondly, using the Coupling coordination degree model, the degree of relationship and coordination between the university system of transformation of scientific and technological achievements and the regional scientific and technological innovation system in different regions of China was calculated. The study showed that the level of scientific and technological achievements is uneven and not high; points of innovative development of Chinese regions have been identified. Thus, the transformation of scientific and technological achievements of universities is a necessary path for the scientific, technological and economic development of regions, when it is necessary to combine the needs of regional development, take measures to strengthen support for scientific and technological personnel, create platforms for sharing resources, and improve policies in the field of intellectual property in order to promote the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements, promote regional scientific and technological innovations and develop regional industry.

Моделирование перспектив инновационного развития регионов Центрального федерального округа РФ

The article contains an attempt to expand the list of indicators for a discriminant model designed to predict the level of innovative development of regions. Data from the regions of the Central Federal District became the basis for selecting factors and building a model. This time, indicators were chosen that characterize activities that logically precede innovation, namely, research and development. As a result, calculations yielded coefficients for the model and the numerical value of the criterion for assessing the level of innovative development of regions.

Assessment of Innovative Development of Regions in the Context of Structural Transformation of the Economy

Today, the development of economic systems is taking place in an era of transformations that lead to the formation of new economic models. Russia is no exception here. The main impetus for the transformation processes in our country’s economy was the anti-Russian sanctions directly related to political events from the United States, Canada, European and other countries. All this poses threats to Russia’s political, economic and social security. Therefore, in modern realities caused by sanctions pressure, the key strategic task of overcoming crisis phenomena and shocks is the formation of a new industrialization based on domestic innovations. It is important to assess the innovative potential of the regions in order to further develop management decisions. The authors proposed and tested a methodological approach to assessing the level of innovative development of the subjects of the Russian Federation. The algorithm of this approach includes sampling official statistical data, determining localization coefficients, averaging and evaluating their dynamics. It was determined that in the period 2011-2022, less than a third of Russian regions improved their economic efficiency and innovation localization indicators. The leading regions of innovative development have a high level of localization of the studied characteristics. Regions characterized by low localization coefficients are traditionally lagging behind and have low indicators of economic, including innovative development. The problems of innovative development of regions under the influence of transformational processes are very multidimensional, therefore, in the limited space of this article, only an assessment of innovative development based on the author’s methodological approach is given.

Assessment of investments in education impact on the Russian regional economic stability

The study assesses the public and private investment in education impact on the economic stability level in the Russian regions. The paper is based on the hypothesis of the key role of educational infrastructure development in the sustainable regional economy formation. The direct correlation between the population’s educational level and the dynamics of gross regional product, investment activity and territorial innovative development has been analyzed. The influence degree of investments in the highly qualified personnel training on the unemployment reduction, growth of average per capita income of citizens, knowledge-intensive economy sectors development has been assessed. The study is based on the analysis of the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation data, review of regional budgets for 2020–2022 and expert surveys among economists and educational workers. The correlation and regression analysis methods were applied to determine the relationship between the investment in education volume and regional economic stability indicators. The preliminary study results indicate a significant investment in education impact on the regional economic stability. In particular, the regions with higher investments in the educational sphere have lower unemployment rates, higher average income per capita and higher level of enterprises’ innovative activity.

The impact of air pollution on regional innovation: empirical evidence based on 267 cities in China.

Based on the spatially correlated effects of air pollution on regional innovation, theoretical hypotheses are proposed, and this paper employs a spatial Durbin model to conduct empirical tests using panel data from 267 Chinese cities from 2003 to 2019, and investigates the mediating effect of human capital. Research has shown that (1) air pollution significantly reduces regional innovation output and has a negative spatial spillover effect significantly in the short term; (2) in the process of regional innovation impacted by air pollution, human capital acts as a mediator role; and (3) analysis of heterogeneity reveals that, from the regional perspective, air pollution has significantly damaged regional innovation in eastern and middle cities, but not significantly influences western cities, and in terms of innovation types, there is a stronger detrimental effect on invention patents exerted by air pollution compared to non-innovation patents. The study's findings provide theoretical and empirical evidence to strengthenenvironmental governance, enhance regional innovation and promote the coordinated development of regional innovation.

Regional Innovation and Sustainable Development Interplay: Analyzing the Spatial Externalities of Domestic Demand in the New Development Paradigm

Building a great modern socialist country in all respects requires enhancing innovation capacity and establishing a new development pattern, especially in the context of sustainable development. This paper begins by analyzing the theoretical relationship between innovation and the spatial externality of domestic demand, constructing a theoretical model, and then empirically testing this model using provincial panel data from 2012 to 2020 through the Spatial Durbin model. The study underscores the importance of innovation in promoting sustainable economic growth, highlighting how it expands domestic demand through both supply and demand sides and positively affects the domestic demand in surrounding areas through spatial spillover effects. The empirical results reveal that innovation significantly boosts the level of domestic demand in the region and its environs, with the spatial spillover effect of domestic demand constituting 66.92% of the total effect. This underscores the relevance of spatial externality in sustainable economic planning. Innovation mainly stimulates domestic demand through consumption, aligning with sustainable consumption patterns, while exerting a moderate inhibitory effect on investment demand. The spatial externality of investment demand appears less significant. Overall, innovation drives the spatial externality of China’s domestic demand and significantly contributes to establishing a new development pattern of “dual circulation”, primarily focusing on the domestic cycle, within a framework of sustainable development. The paper concludes with policy recommendations that align innovation strategies with sustainable development goals.

This assessment characterizes to greater extent investments in development and depends on both the costs of innovation and the value of GRP.

Innovative Development of Russian Regions: Assessment and Dynamics in the Context of Sustainable Development

Innovative development of regions is a key factor that determines the level of competitiveness of the economies of all countries in the world. This article uses statistical tools to assess the level of innovative development of the regions of the Russian Federation. The purpose of the work is to assess the innovative development of the subjects of Russia for the period 2010–2020. Objectives of the study: (1) to study the main parameters of innovative development of the subjects of the Russian Federation; (2) to conduct a typology of Russian regions by the level of innovative development on the basis of cluster analysis. The selected time interval (2010–2020) was a period of increasing turbulent flows of development of socio-economic processes at the global, national and regional levels. Cluster analysis was used to identify spatial and functional features of innovative development of Russian regions. The obtained analytical calculations confirm a high degree of differentiation between the Russian regions by all key indicators of innovative development. The results of grouping regions on the basis of cluster analysis showed that there are four clusters based on the sum of normalized indicators, reflecting different levels of innovative development in Russian regions. The analysis revealed that most of the regions belong to the groups with moderate and low levels of innovative development. The regions of the Central and Volga Federal Districts have the highest level of innovative development, while the regions located in the north of the European part of Russia, the North Caucasus, the south of eastern Siberia and the Far East, as well as “new” regions, have a low level. The results of the study can be implemented by regional authorities for systematic monitoring of the level of innovative development of regions, making managerial decisions and developing mechanisms to ensure innovation activity in the regions.

Main results of the 20-year innovative development of the Russian regions

The key objective of the study is a retrospective statistical indicators’ analysis of innovative development of Russian regions over the past decades. As part of the search for solutions to overcome the “technological impasse” and to reduce dependence on foreign technologies and raw materials export orientation, it is advisable to rely on the implementation of the innovative potential of all regions of the country due to the limited technological and scientific capabilities of individual existing leading regions. It is necessary to accelerate the transition from the current export-raw materials model of economic development to resource-innovative, assuming harmonious development, considering the innovative potential realization of the entire country territory. To fulfill the tasks set in the study, an assessment of innovative progress in Russia on a territorial basis using mathematical and statistical methods was carried out. In the course of the work, it was found that among the regions of the country there is a high degree of difference in the level of innovative financing and, as a consequence, in the pace of innovative development. There are several main leaders on which the main scientific activity and the production of high-tech products are based. Most of the regions show a significant lag, which is primarily due to the high concentration of innovation activity in only a few key points of the country.

РАЗВИТИЕ ИНДУСТРИАЛЬНЫХ РЕГИОНОВ: ДИФФЕРЕНЦИАЦИЯ ТЕХНОЛОГИЧНОСТИ И ИННОВАЦИОННОСТИ В УСЛОВИЯХ ВНЕШНЕЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОЙ НЕСТАБИЛЬНОСТИ

The development of regional industry, structural changes, industry diversification, and the transition to a new industrial level in modern conditions are limited by the strict conditions of external investment, trade, and financial sanctions. The paper aims to analyze changes in the technological effectiveness and innovativeness of regional industry, identifying trends that contribute to economic dynamics in conditions of external uncertainty and economic instability. The objectives of the study include the development and testing of a system of indicators for a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of industrial and innovative development of regions with different levels of technological structure (the ratio between high/medium/low technology sectors; aggregated – HT, HMT, LMT- and LT-sectors), allowing for comparative studies of regional parameters contributing to the development of the industry in the regime of external restrictions. Research methods include comparative analysis, economic and statistical methods, the use of correlation analysis, etc. The research hypothesis of the study is to substantiate different formats for the development of industrial regions, distinguished by the differentiation of the technological structure of industry, the complementarity of the economic advantages of technological sectors, which allows the region in the conditions of external destabilization to ensure the effectiveness of industrial development and innovative dynamics. As a result of the study, it was revealed that industrial regions have different technological structures and are developing at different rates; the technological competencies of the LMT sector ensure sustainable industrial dynamics in all analyzed regions, and the HT, HMT sectors ensure the preservation of innovative intensity of development. The technological and logical advantages of industries and the combination of technologically heterogeneous sectors are one of the factors that allow the region, under conditions of external restrictions, to simultaneously ensure both effectiveness and promotion of industrial and innovative development. The proposed conclusions and analytics can be used in developing regional industrial policies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

Innovative and technological development of the regions during the period of economic instability

Currently, the world economy has entered a period of unsteady development, characterized by the aggravation of problems that cannot be solved within the framework of existing equipment, technologies, management methods, etc. These problems are caused by the completion of the 5th technological order and the birth of the 6th, as well as the beginning of the 4th Industrial Revolution. The existing world experience convincingly proves that during periods of economic transformations caused by changes in technological structures, innovative development in the direction of innovative advance is a priority. The countries that have embarked on the path of advanced innovative development are the leaders of economic growth, ensuring the economic well-being and high quality of life of their peoples. For the enterprises of the domestic industry, which retains a significant innovative potential, the strategy of advanced innovation is virtually no alternative. The article examines the state of innovation and technological development of Russian regions during the period of economic instability. Attention is paid to the peculiarities of innovative growth of regions. Based on statistical data, the analysis of the main indicators reflecting the innovative activity of enterprises in the country’s industry is carried out. The main regional problems hindering innovative development are identified and a number of priority measures necessary for decision-making in the field of innovation promotion are proposed.

ФАКТОРНАЯ МОДЕЛЬ ИННОВАЦИОННОГО РАЗВИТИЯ РЕГИОНОВ РЕСПУБЛИКИ КАЗАХСТАН

The article formulates a system of criteria for selecting factors of innovative development of regions for the Republic of Kazakhstan. Taking into account the specifics of the economy of Kazakhstan, the article highlights the factors of innovative development of its regions. It considers the indicators that improve the regional cluster in the Internet environment. These indicators are factors of innovative development of the region. Based on mathematical modeling, the research shows the relationship of these factors with the volume of production of innovative products. Due to the significant internal correlation between independent variables, the author carried out the normalization of volume and cost indicators of innovative development of regions, which makes it possible to cover a larger set of parameters under consideration, establish a causal relationship between the parameters under consideration, and based on this determine the directions of innovative development of regions. It was found that only large enterprises have sufficient funds to develop and create competitive massproduced products. In Kazakhstan, the number of large enterprises capable of producing innovative products is limited, and their funds for the development and creation of innovative products are also limited. Therefore, in order to increase the volume of innovative products, Kazakhstan's large innovative enterprises need to cooperate with similar foreign enterprises, primarily Russian and Belarusian ones.

Institutional environment of innovative development of Russian regions – Theoretical treatment, empirical analysis

Subject. This article discusses the relationship between innovation, economic processes and the institutional environment, as well as the motivation to consume and save. Objectives. The article aims to identify the vectors of influence of the parameters of the institutional environment on the innovative development of regions. Methods. For the study, we used the methods of logical, cluster, correlation and regression, and comparative analyses. Results. Calculations of the propensity to save and the propensity to immobilize savings show the absence of functions that describe their dynamics with sufficient reliability. During the analyzed period, the scalar and vector values of the indicator changed in a wide range, which is an unfavorable factor for the innovative development of the region. The institutional component of the economic behavior of producers of goods and services has a pronounced innovation orientation, in contrast to the consumer sector. Conclusions. The contradiction between the institutional and economic vectors of innovative development in the region is explained by the unstable dynamics of institutional indicators reflecting the behavior of consumers in the areas of consumption, savings, and investment. This circumstance requires the State's influence on the institutional parameters of the regional environment.

Adaptive innovation model design: Integrating agile and open innovation in regional areas innovation

Regional innovation should be adaptive because it involves uncertainties and risks, and the context of each region is critical to the success of innovation processes. However, regional areas often face unique challenges that require tailored approaches to innovation. The focus of innovation is evolving and needs to prioritize sustainability. Consequently, adaptable innovation approaches are essential to ensure the sustainability of addressing the challenges and opportunities that arise within each regional context. Thus, the paper aims to answer three research questions: 1) How are agile and open innovation concepts described within the context of regional innovation? 2) Are the concepts of agile and open innovation compatible for integration into an adaptive model in the development of regional innovation? and 3) What patterns or commonalities emerge in the comparison between theories identified for adaptive regional innovation? This research study adopts a conceptual synthesis approach to integrate the existing knowledge. It draws on two innovation concepts: agile innovation, which offers agility and open innovation to enrich collaboration in development. Our work makes a significant contribution by proposing an adaptive innovation model for regional innovation development that explains the integration of agile and open innovation. The adaptive innovation model defines essential activities such as innovation focus areas, idea management, concept development, implementation, and evaluation, which are all part of the innovation emphasis areas. It also identifies the quadruple helix as key players in this model. This methodology can be used by regional governments and policy makers to encourage regional innovation towards sustainability and resilience.
