ACTUAL PROBLEMS DEVELOPMENT OF ECONOMICS 

324-335 302
Abstract

Aim. The presented study aims to verify the author’s analytical model for assessing the development of the innovation ecosystem of a large enterprise.

Tasks. The author describes the problems of assessing the level of development of innovative ecosystems; considers the relationship between the indicators of ecosystem dynamics (characterizing the stakeholders of the ecosystem) and the growth rate of production of innovative goods; reveals the specific features of ecosystem management, particularly with regard to interaction with ecosystem stakeholders as a factor in the ecosystem’s development.

Methods. The theoretical and methodological basis of this study includes scientific publications on ecosystem genesis and assessment of the development of socio-economic ecosystems. Regression analysis is used to calculate the degree of connectivity between the previously selected indicators affecting the dynamics of production of innovative goods. The informational basis of the study consists of indicators of financial and economic activity of a large industrial enterprise in the Sverdlovsk region as well as indicators characterizing interaction with its stakeholders.

Results. Development indicators of the innovation ecosystem of a large enterprise are calculated for 2013-2019 based on its stakeholder decomposition. Factors that are closely linked to the potential aggregate indicator of innovation ecosystem development are identified, and ways to make their analysis less complicated are outlined.
Conclusions. Testing of the analytical model for assessing the development of the innovation ecosystem of a high-tech enterprise has revealed the irreducibility of the integral indicator of innovation ecosystem development to the production of new goods. The importance of developing an ecosystem management technology is substantiated.

Abstract

Aim. Through the example of Indonesia, the presented study aims to determine the special features of the formation of the national model of green economy at the level of strategic planning and government support for green investment.

Tasks. The author analyzes a wide range of national strategies in different fields, the role of green economy in the strategic planning of the country’s long-term development, and the tools of government support for green investment used by the national government for the implementation of strategic plans.

Methods. This study uses a combination of basic scientific methods of cognition, such as synthesis and analysis.

Results. Special features of the integration of the principles of green economy in strategic planning are determined. The government’s tools of private fundraising are identified, which are highly demanded by investors and are recommended for use in the Russian Federation.

Conclusions. Strategic planning in Indonesia is characterized by the close alignment of strategic priorities with the challenges and opportunities for the country’s sustainable environmental and economic development, while goals and objectives of strategic plans are associated with financial resources. Government support is primarily aimed at solving the problem of private fundraising in strategically important green sectors of the economy. Certain tools of government support for green investment are recommended for use in Russia considering their attractiveness and investor demand.

DIGITAL ECONOMICS 

345-354 371
Abstract

Aim. The presented study aims to determine the prerequisites and directions for the transformation of government regulation and support for business structures in the context of the digitalization of the economy and to propose approaches for assessing its implementation and specific tools that could help to solve problems of economic development.

Tasks. The authors analyze government support for the business sector of the economy and identify its features at different stages of development; describe tools used for the management and support of business structures, identifying problems and opportunities for their successful application at the regional level to achieve sustainable economic growth in Russia.

Methods. This study uses analysis and synthesis in comparative statics and in a dynamic context as well as historical, systems, and ex-ante approaches.

Results. The study confirms that government regulation and support for entrepreneurship in the context of the digitalization of the economy should be considered within the framework of an integrated approach based on a dynamic analysis of indicators at the macro- and microlevel, which would make it possible to analyze the most vulnerable aspects of government support for business structures and to develop a roadmap of actions to be taken.

Conclusions. The authors substantiate the necessity of using infrastructure tools in the management of entrepreneurial development in Russia to eliminate the constantly emerging and existing imbalances between the needs of digital development and lagging government influence. Adjustments that need to be made in monitoring, forecasting, planning, and control are identified. These adjustments would make it possible to implement the scenario approach to management, mitigating external and internal risks in the global market of goods and services.

STATE ECONOMIC POLICY 

361-367 425
Abstract

Aim. The presented study aims to identify the most effective tools for increasing the openness and transparency of public-private partnership projects for the purpose of developing recommendations to improve the efficiency of public-private partnership project management in the Russian Federation.

Tasks. The authors analyze the international experience of ensuring the accountability of public-private partnership projects and using modern tools to improve the collection, disclosure, and use of data and information on public-private partnerships of international organizations; identify the most effective models for assessing the financial risks of public-private partnerships; determine directions for improving the efficiency of public-private partnership project management in the Russian Federation.

Methods. This study uses general scientific methods, such as analysis, generalization, and classification. Analysis of foreign practices and tools is used to identify major tools and directions for increasing the openness and transparency of public-private partnership projects in Russia.

Results. When examining international experience, the authors emphasize international approaches to risk management in public-private partnership projects, consider conditional budget obligations, which are assumed by public partners in public-private partnership projects along with direct obligations, the volumes and terms of payments for which are probabilistic and scenario-based. International principles and standards in the field of public-private partnerships of various organizations of the UN system, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and the World Bank Group are examined and analyzed. The analysis of innovative tools for improving the collection, disclosure, and use of data and information on public-private partnerships of international organizations (UN, IMF, OECD, World Bank Group) makes it obvious that special attention is paid to the openness of public-private partnership projects and to the public awareness of its relative costs, benefits, and risks in particular. International organizations believe that governments should develop and include in the implementation of public-private partnerships a consultation process commensurate with the scale of the project, taking into account the common public interests and opinions of stakeholders. This process should have a broad basis, facilitate dialogue, rely on public access to information and the needs of users.

Conclusions. The relevance of developing effective tools for ensuring the openness (transparency) and accountability of public-private partnership projects is apparent. In this context, transparency implies not only the openness of information, but also adequate opportunities for parliamentary control and public consultations. Systems should be established at all levels of government to ensure regular collection of relevant data and institutional responsibility for their analysis, dissemination, and examination. Such data should be disclosed to the public in an accessible form and in a timely manner. This ensures the government's confidence in public finance management and increases the confidence of businesses and the population in the market. Financial transparency improves the efficiency of financial decisions and holds governments accountable for their financial performance and for the management and use of public resources.

By examining theoretical foundations and evolution of the policy of supporting the innovation activity of economic entities, this study aims to develop proposals that would create conditions for the transition towards economic development based on innovative incentives within the framework of this policy.

Tasks. The authors determine the essence and content of innovative development policy and the periodization of its implementation stages; analyze and compare leading approaches to the interpretation of the concept of innovative development policy; identify factors that determine the choice of policy and its specific aspects.

Methods. This study is based on conceptual ideas about a policy stimulating economic development and uses the systems approach, comparative analysis, historical method, as well as groupings, generalizations, and analytical tools that are adequate for the purpose of the study.

Results. In view of the need to create conditions for the intensification of innovative development and the transition towards innovation-driven economic development, the essence and content of a policy in the field of innovative development are presented, prioritizing incentives in the activities of economic entities. A periodization of policy stages is provided, covering the period from the 1950s to the present day. Leading approaches to understanding the essence of the policy of supporting innovative development are analyzed and compared, allowing the authors to define them as a theoretical and methodological basis for the formation of an appropriate national policy in the field of economic development. Conditions that determine the choice of policy and its specific aspects are determined, reflecting continuous changes in the external and internal innovation environment.

Conclusions. The effectiveness of the national policy of stimulating innovation activity for the purposes of dynamic economic development depends on its objectives, the state of the innovation environment, and the ratio between general and targeted support measures for innovative industries and companies. This is tied to the conditions for the transition to economic development based on innovative incentives within the framework of the implemented policy.

Abstract

Aim. The presented study aims to propose and describe a methodology for assessing the quality of regional governance by identifying criteria and measurable indicators.

Tasks. Regional governance quality assessment makes it possible to solve a number of problems, such as planning the level of management quality, monitoring the quality indicators of regional governance as a system and as a process, and developing reference documentation for regional governance quality assessment.

Methods. Regional governance quality assessment is one of the most urgent problems to be solved in social and economic systems. To develop a set of assessment criteria, this study uses a systems approach to the classification of terms and definitions used in this subject area.

Results. The authors present the results of their analysis of scientific literature on regional governance assessment factors and propose a systems approach to the classification and further assessment of these factors based on criteria, metrics, and assessment elements.

Conclusions. The results of the study substantiate the importance of studying regional development factors to be able to ensure the efficiency of government activities. Developing this system can be considered a priority task for the formation of efficient regional governance. It would make it possible to further automate the assessment of certain factors with allowance for the applicability of individual assessment criteria to specific regions and the stages of the life cycle of sociological research.
