Innovation facilitators and sustainable development: a country comparative approach

National and international organizations have introduced policies aimed at sustainable development. These policies are designed to encourage sustainable forms of business to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda. Regional inequalities in sustainable development may be exacerbated by disparate levels of innovation. This paper analyzes the variations between clusters of countries according to the degree to which they have achieved the SDGs and their levels of innovation facilitators. Two types of analyses were employed. First, cluster analysis was used to examine changes in groups of regions with similar innovation characteristics between 2015 and 2020. Data for 122 countries were gathered from the World Bank, the SDG Index, and the Global Innovation Index. Second, multiple linear regression analysis was used to assess the power of the variables in the model to explain the level of sustainable development. The results reveal four clusters (low, medium, high, and very high innovative facilitators and sustainable development), as well as movements between those clusters from 2015 to 2020. The multiple linear regression analysis shows that the variables have explanatory power with respect to the dependent variable of sustainable development. This analysis also reveals different degrees of importance of the variables for each cluster. The findings highlight the need to consider the limitations of economic growth in terms of innovation facilitators to promote sustainable development. If policymakers recognize the limitations of economic growth and the physical ecosystem, degradation of the environment can be avoided, even when there is innovation. Global and individual social welfare can thus be ensured. This study offers valuable insights into how to achieve sustainable development through innovation facilitators by providing in-depth knowledge of the individual characteristics of innovation systems and considering the limitations of economic growth.

МЕХАНИЗМЫ РАЗВИТИЯ НАУЧНОЙ И ИННОВАЦИОННОЙ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТИ РЕГИОНОВ РОССИЙСКОЙ ФЕДЕРАЦИИ В УСЛОВИЯХ ПАНДЕМИИ

The article is devoted to the mechanisms of development of scientific and innovative activities of the territories of the Russian Federation in the context of a pandemic. As a result of the conducted review of literature, statistics, factology, the development of scientific and innovative activities in the regions of the Russian Federation in the context of a pandemic is analyzed. Comparative analysis of regional statistics made it possible to typologize them according to the quality of development of information resources of the economy. The article compares the foreign experience in the development of scientific and innovative activities and the methodology of the catch-up development model used in the USSR. All this made it possible to typologize territories for the development of scientific and innovative activities in the context of a pandemic.The study compares the successes of Russia in confronting the pandemic and the scenarios for the development of these successes in various models of the development of information resources of the economy in the form of knowledge, competencies, OIC, intangible assets. The purpose of the article: typologization of the territories of the Russian Federation according to the qualitative characteristics of innovative growth and the evolutionary development of information resources of the economy, the effectiveness of the measures used to combat the pandemic, in order to develop patterns and contradictions in the development of scientific and innovative activities in the regions of Russia. The research objectives are: Typology of the territories of the Russian Federation by the quality of innovative growth; Conclusions of the research: The USSR had extensive experience in the methodology for the development of scientific and innovative activities known as the "catch-up development model". Japan in the 50-80s, South Korea in the 80-2000s and today's China and their regions and territories successfully apply it and achieve significant success in the development of scientific and innovative activities. This leads to evolutionary changes in the countries themselves and their regions, they evolve each time the following groups, higher in terms of development. This methodology using open innovation methods can be perceived in Russia and its regions. For a more detailed demonstration, the article developed the patterns and contradictions of the existing model for the development of scientific and innovative activities in a pandemic. Which showed that the reached limits of economic growth in the 90-2000s by type, exclusively related to the investment model, as well as the introduced elements of the transitional type of the model to catch-up have their solution through the use of the open innovation method. This method makes it possible to deeply and thoroughly process foreign intangible assets in order to obtain, on their own technological basis, their own IP, the introduction of which and transformation into intangible assets takes place in TNCs and state corporations. Thus, the protection of the exclusive rights obtained by the method of open innovation is carried out by big business, which has all the necessary resources for this, especially in the countries of the global center and catching-up development.

The political economy of education and inequality: reflections on Piketty

ABSTRACTPiketty’s Capitalism in the twenty-first century provides a superb, detailed historical analysis of the evolution of income and wealth inequality. Piketty demonstrates vast and increasing inequality that he argues might possibly be tempered in the future by economic growth and educational expansion supplemented by government redistributive policies. However, Piketty has little understanding of the reproductive nature of education, the limits of economic growth, or the fundamental problems of capitalism. In this paper, I depart from a political economy perspective to examine the bankruptcy of the underlying neoclassical economic theory he relies upon. In particular, I discuss how Piketty mistakenly sees capitalism as, in large part, a meritocracy, and the implications for education.

Institutional Constraints Ensure Sustainable Economic Growth of Region

The article discusses the role of institutions in economic development, analyzed the current limitations of economic growth of the Russian regions.

Monetary and financial aspect of forecasting economic dynamics

This paper substantiates the author’s view on the role of money, finance and credit in the reproduction process. Using the example of specific historical stages, it is shown that the limits of economic growth arise as a result of exhaustion of resources financing development, and this can be resolved by the formation of methods and technologies that provide such financing. The assessment of the current situation in the sphere of development financing in Russia and worldwide is also presented.

Sustainability: a review of the debate and an extension

SUMMARY This paper argues that the current debate on sustainability is obscured by a number of misunderstandings. These relate, first, to the ongoing dispute between ecologists and economists holding different visions about the limits of economic growth and the carrying capacity of the Earth; and second, to the discrepancy between theoretical sustainability and practical sustainability. The paper concludes that the current vagueness surrounding sustainability may be reduced by reframing the debate. It demonstrates that the dispute between ecologists and economists can largely be considered as unproductive because the only sustainability concept supported by theory is that of ‘strong sustainability’. The paper argues further that the gap between theoretical and practical sustainability may be bridged by distinguishing three concepts which properly account for informational inadequacies and human preferences in the design of sustainability constraints. These are: the ‘sustainable EUS’ (Environmental Utilization Space), the ‘measured EUS’, and the ‘chosen EUS’.

Equality is a central concept in contemporary political theory. It cannot be avoided by those who search for principles of justice; it is closely related to any attempt to revitalize the liberal commitment to individual liberty; and it inevitably intrudes into discussions of the nature and limits of economic growth in both developed and developing societies. Controversy occurs when different approaches to equality confront one another or when other important concepts and their relationships to equality are understood differently. Francis Wilhoit describes the deep historical roots of the contemporary concern with equality. In The Quest for Equality in Freedom he contends that only desire of money and power are stronger human motives than the love of equality. He offers an historical survey of virtually all

Mineral resource supplies and the limits of economic growth

Abstract The status of the controversy concerning remaining supplies of mineral resources is examined. It is concluded that a serious shortage of a number of vital raw materials will become evident during the next few decades. Calculations are made to show that reserve and consumption data can vary within wide margins without significantly affecting this conclusion. The reasons for the impending crisis are examined and suggested solutions assessed.

Economische politiek en verbeeldingskracht naar een zesde fase in het proces van economische groei

The M.I.T. report for the ‘Club of Rome’ tries to indicate the limits of economic growth. The thesis submitted by the report requires us to reconsider the concept of economic growth that we have been handling during the last decades. Galbraith's thesis on the Affluent Society makes a reconsideration of the concept of growth more acceptable. What is necessary is not really slowing down growth but modifying the structure of the growth process. All this requires a clear picture of the society that we prefer: an ‘enlightened utopia.’ The modification of the structure will cause such discontinuities in the growth process as to add a sixth stage to the five stages of economic growth that have been suggested by Rostow.
