Abstract: Globalization of the economy encourages the escalation of innovation activity; development of the interfirm collaboration and chain organizational structures; functional integration and cooperation within the firms alongside state and private laboratories, universities; as well as transformation of the business models. The authors examine the theoretical-conceptual basis of the regional innovation system under the conditions of the so-called “glocalization” of the economy. The evolution of network approach in the research of foreign authors is presented. The subject of hits work is the establishment and development of regional approach towards the examination of innovation processes. The article demonstrates the factors that substantiated the transition from the dominant over many years in theory and practice innovation activity of the concept of national innovation system to the concept of innovation systems of the regions. The network approach towards establishment of the innovation systems of the regions is rationalized. The authors form an original perspective of the premises of development of the theory of regional innovation systems, as well as substantiate the advantaged of examination of the innovation processes at the regional level.

Abstract: The object of this research is the regional tourist flow. In this article it means tourist flows of various sizes, density and intensity, directed to the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, total number of which is 85. The subject field of this research consists in optimization of regional tourist flows. Special attention is dedicated to the realization of this task through economic and mathematical modeling for the processes of formation and development of tourist flows. It is assumed that these flows can be specifically optimized by increasing their size, redistribution of tourists between segments of a flow, creation of its new segments and restriction of the flow growth in emergence of such fairly new phenomenon as overtourism. The conducted research allowed concluding that the tourist flows in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation differ in size and structure. Most of them have formed without the due scientific and economic justification or optimal connection to the existing tourist-recreational resources. As a result, the regional targeted programs of tourism development are not being implemented to the fullest extent. The novelty of this research consists in substantiation of the need for optimization of the structure of regional tourist flow on the basis of complex approach, as well as suggestion of the economic-mathematical model for such optimization.

Abstract: The article considers the organization of strategic planning for the development of infrastructure systems in the economic space of the region. The subject of the study is the processes of strategic planning of infrastructure systems in the region. The purpose of the article is to study the features of strategic planning for the development of electric power infrastructure systems in the economic space of the region. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was the theory of spatial development, strategic planning, infrastructure systems and methods for assessing their impact on the socio-economic development of territories. The properties of infrastructure systems as an object of strategic planning are determined. From the position of the institutional approach, the features of the formation of the strategy for the development of infrastructure systems in the region, the multilevel nature of the planning subjects are revealed. The authors analyzed the organization of strategic planning of spatial infrastructure systems in the management of regional development on the example of the electric power industry. The institutional environment for the development of electric power infrastructure in the Russian Federation is considered on the basis of an analysis of the timing and frequency of preparation of strategic documents, consistency of development goals. Strategic risks of not implementing strategic planning documents have been identified. On the example of the Sverdlovsk region, the balance of strategic investment and socio-economic planning for the development of territories and electric power infrastructure is analyzed. The actual tasks of strategic planning for the development of infrastructure systems are identified, which consist in ensuring connectivity, synchronicity of territorial development plans with infrastructure development, consistency of planning processes, implementation of regional and corporate sector development strategies.

Abstract: This article is dedicated to examination of the questions of interinfluence of digital and traditional economy in the regions of the Russian Federation. On the one hand, digital economy stimulates the development of traditional economy; while on the other hand, digitalization requires acquisition of equipment, digital communication services, software, and recruitment of qualified personnel. The interaction of digital and traditional economies differs in the regions with commodity sector, industrial regions, mixed economy regions, metropolitan areas, and territories with low population density. The growing importance of digital economy in the overall development of the regions and the country requires comprehensive examination of digitalization processes with regards to both, economy and society. The scientific novelty consists in the use of big data for tracing correlations between the available indicators of development of digital economy and various aspects of traditional economy established in the Russian region. Based on the database of the Unified Interdepartmental Information Statistical System, the author constructed scatter diagrams, calculated correlation coefficients and trend lines to determine the interdependence of these indicators. The article examined the link between the number of personal computers in the region, level of public access to the Internet, GRP, cost of labor, and users of satellite communication systems. The author determines the instances of positive and negative interinfluence, and discusses the probable causes their different vector.

Abstract: Economic zoning is an important instrument of regional policy; however, its impact upon solution of the territorial issues of macroregions that are built on other (noneconomic) grounds remains quite ambiguous. This research is dedicated to verification of the hypothesis on possibility of reducing the discrepancy between the parameters of territorial development as a result of their unification into a macroregion, which is formed primarily on the administrative principles. Research methodology leans on assessment of the parameter variations of interterritorial disparities in retrospect; methodological toolset includes the calculation of coefficients that characterize the degree of heterogeneity of cumulative data (coefficients of variation, asymmetry, and excess). The article uses the example of the Ural Federal District. The conducted analysis reveals that the scale of intraterritorial disparities typical for the district at the stage of its formation has not decreased over time; moreover, the difference between the parameters of the development of individual regions has increased. It is proven that the unification of territorial systems solely through administrative transformations does not mitigate the problems of excessive asymmetry of their development; and connectedness of the regions that proceeds from such transformations is often nominal. The acquired conclusions offer a critical insight into the instruments for managing socioeconomic processes in the territories of different levels, and can be taken into account in implementation of the regional policy.

Abstract: Currently, the development of urban agglomerations is recognized as one of the key prerequisites for accelerating the economic growth of large-scale economic systems. The study is devoted to the conceptual foundations of this process. The author considers the logic of the organization and development of agglomerations; identifies the features of the functioning of agglomerations in modern conditions; studies the principles that should underlie their development. The work is based on the use of data from the Federal State Statistics Service, and its methodological base includes general scientific methods of theoretical and empirical cognition. It is shown that a significant aspect of the functioning of the agglomeration is the close relationship between its elements. The importance of this aspect is also proved by the results of the analysis of the functioning of the Yekaterinburg urban agglomeration, which is characterized by the redistribution of functionality between its constituent municipalities. The suburbs increase their importance as a place to live in and work, while the central parts of the agglomeration retain the role of a service center. As a result of the study methodological principles of agglomerations development are formulated: a differentiated approach to determining landmarks, mechanisms and institutions of transformation processes, institutionalization of the object, the systemic nature of space transformation, the absence of barriers of interaction between elements, the availability of a resource basis for development. The results obtained can be used in the activities of public authorities that determine and implement regional policy.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the development of the concept and methodological approaches towards formulation of the theory of reputation economy applicable to the regional economic systems. This suggests not only formulation and substantiation of theoretical foundations, but also securing theory with practical recommendations based not so much on the methods of qualitative analysis, as on the methods of quantitative modeling of the studied processes using a wide variety of mathematical models. The object of this research is the Republic of Tatarstan. Special attention is given to the formalized assessments of the impact of reputation capital of the theory upon the parameters of its investment activity. The developed methodological approaches form the foundation for its further improvement and may enhance a dialogue on the indicated problematic – assessment of the impact of the reputation of theory upon investment processes. The scientific novelty of this research consists in the formulated conceptual approach of quantitative assessment of reputation capital of the region, as well as towards the development of the theory of reputation economy applicable to the regional economic systems. The research results determine the quarterly values of integral indexes of reputation capital of the Republic of Tatarstan over the period from 2013 to 2017, which formed the basis for structuring the econometric models of its influence upon the parameters of investment activity of the territory.

Abstract: The object of the research is the differentiation of Russia's populated regions depending on their cost of living which structure has become simpler compared to the Soviet era. Today corporate entities do not take into account locality pays or northern wage rise for arduous working conditions that used to be applicable before. This leads to certain gaps in planning objective causes of the growing cost of living in Arctic and hard-to-read areas. Consequently, there is a need in better methods of analysing factors that increase the cost of living not only in the Russian Federation regions but also in administrative districts with different natural environment and climatic areas. The researchers have applied the engineering-economical method of calculating zoning parameters depending on the duration and heat introduction in different regions during the heating season as well as the economic-geographic method of region's zoning. The scientific novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the authors apply the engineering-economical method for calculating zoning parameters depending on the duration and heat introduction in different regions during the heating season as well as the economic-geographic method for region's objective and clear zoning. The results of the research can be used in the process of providing a legislative framework of detailed zoning of the Russian Federation regions.

Abstract: The subject of the research reflected in this article is climate change, which causes serious problems in the development of agriculture in the world. This is especially true in countries where the place and role of agriculture in the economy are decisive. Russia also belongs to them. Changes in solar activity combined with large-scale transformations of agricultural holdings lead to rapid changes in the sectoral structure of agricultural enterprises and agriculture at the national level. The article reveals the features and current state of the agro-industrial complex of Russia on the example of the southern regions, which are considered the most favorable for agriculture. The main conclusions of the study are the identified future trends in the development of agriculture in the southern regions of Russia, taking into account changes in climatic conditions, namely: 1) the beginning of a gradual change in the production focus of individual regions towards completely new crops for climate-altered natural conditions of agricultural lands; 2) the consequence of global warming for agriculture is a reduction in agricultural production due to a decrease in crop yields and livestock productivity, but this is not a negative factor, since the expansion of soil fertility (geography of favorable conditions for agriculture) will allow to optimize yields with a higher economic effect (to cultivate land where the early there was a climatic opportunity for this, to use the most fertile areas for growing new valuable crops).

Abstract: The subject of the research is the theory and practice of assessing the level of transport accessibility of the territories of the northern regions. The existing generally accepted methods for assessing transport accessibility are considered, which do not fully take into account the features of the transport system available in the regions of the North - the widespread use of temporary roads (winter roads). The article proposes a methodological toolkit for assessing the level of transport accessibility for the northern regions, consisting of the calculation of three main indicators that affect the rise in the cost of transport costs for the delivery of goods to hard-to-reach areas. The proposed methodological tools take into account the complexity and multilink of deliveries, the seasonality of the functioning of transport systems and the possibility of changing transport schemes. The novelty of the study lies in the development of the author's methodology for assessing the transport accessibility of the territories of the northern regions, taking into account the system of indicators that reflect the features of the formation and functioning of transport systems. The developed methodology makes it possible to obtain a coefficient that is proposed to be used as the main indicator when planning financial measures to support local economic systems.The author proposes to apply this methodology in the distribution of regulatory measures, including: budget loans and regional subsidies aimed at covering transportation costs within the framework of the "northern delivery" of goods. When developing this methodology, the main condition was met, under which the price of delivery is not taken into account, which makes it possible to use the result of the assessment in planning the volume of financial support and not depend on fluctuations in prices for transport services.

Abstract: The authors propose a new approach to the formation of the optimum structure of arable land as the most valuable land resources for agricultural activities. It is noted that in recent years the structure of sown areas of agricultural enterprises does not provide a sustainable economic impact and maintainence of soil fertility. It is revealed that enhanced on the basis of optimization calculations according to the criterion of "max profit" structure of arable land can not form a positive humus balance in soils of arable lands. On the other hand, cropping patterns, optimized according to the criterion "max humus", leads to a significant reduction in the level of profitability of agricultural production. Methodological basis of work was the principles of adaptive land-use and systematic approach. Specific research methods were used: system analysis, modeling, optimal compromise programming. It is shown that a variant of the structure of arable land defined simultaneously by two criteria of optimality, provides a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly land management in agricultural organizations. The study of this experience deserves great attention in present conditions the creation and implementation of farming systems and agricultural technologies of new generation for the purpose of conservation and reproduction of soil fertility, efficient use of natural resources potential of agricultural landscapes.

Abstract: The isolated lifestyle of the indigenous monitories of the North along with the minimized outside interaction becomes a hampering factor in development of secluded territories within any country. In majority of countries with historical presence of indigenous people have unresolved issues pertaining to preservation of ethnic peculiarities of the indigenous lifestyle, including problems in the area of financial and social support. In the life on the territory of the ancestral habitat and preservation of ethnic customs, peoples of the North possess certain sources of material aid. Financial aid is given to them in forms of subsidies, grants, and one-time payments. In the course of this research, the authors studied the legislative bills, articles and monographs of foreign and Russian researchers, and volumes of statistical data pertaining to the instrument of support of the indigenous peoples of Russia and other territories. The research allowed determining the fact that in the group of countries in question the mechanism for support and preservation of the cultural heritage of the indigenous peoples of the North are very relative and carry attributes of formalism, which testifies to lack of effort spent on tackling this issue. There is a need for global transformation of the existent instruments of social support for the indigenous minorities of the North, which should have been enhanced by the experience of other states in the area of support and stimulation of the life of the indigenous peoples. The scientific approach towards the study of the livelihood of the indigenous minorities of the North allowed formulating new and efficient instruments for social support.

Abstract: Analysis of the factors influencing the dynamics of the products delivered to a region (on the example Yakutia) is the priority objective of the government in the context of socioeconomic development of the territory. An attempt is made to determine the correlation of the region’s capacity of energy, road network, transport and communications infrastructure, agglomeration factors, labor and capital with the output in the Northern region. Due to the costliness of factors in the North, it is always a matter of choice between the development of social infrastructure and rotational system. In the course of the analysis, the author applies the indexes of labor, capital, agglomeration and infrastructure capacity, as well as the volume of shipped products in accordance with the regional statistical data over the period from 2006 to 2016, operational data of sectoral ministries, results of 2002 and 2010 national censuses. The author applies the method of indexes of the factors cited for comparability to the dimensionless numbers from 0 to 10. The scientific novelty lies in the original combination of the analysis techniques of the impact of factors upon the volumes of shipped products. The author attempts to consider the effect of fluctuation of the ruble’s exchange rate upon the regional turnover distributing products at world prices. A profound retrospective and comparable data set allowed acquiring the most realistic results.

Abstract: The object of study is the national debt at the regional level. The subject of research is a model of public debt management in the region. Particular attention is paid to both theoretical and practical basics of public debt management at the regional level in the light of economic science terminological apparatus for the study questions the current socio-economic realities, as well as existing international experience (Germany, France). And studied the structure of the list of debt of regional authorities in the context of the hierarchy of territorial-administrative units. During research following methods were used in the abstract-logical method of classification, analysis of the actual documentation, empirical techniques used structural-functional analysis, and such methods of collecting and analyzing information.The study concluded that each country has its own legal structure of the list of debt of regional authorities. The most important factor is the structure of the hierarchy of territorial administrative units within the state - whether carried out by local management entities exclusively through the higher regions, which in turn are subject to the central government of the country or the local authorities directly subordinate to the central government. In Germany, local education do not even have the constitutional guarantees of its existence and are subject to State Governments are responsible to the central federal government. Fundamentally different device is France, where all four levels of administrative and territorial authorities have no subordinate relations between them, and managed directly by the central administration of the country.

Abstract: This article presents the methodological approach towards improvement of the mechanism of state regulation of the local housing market. In the current conditions, the effectiveness of management is affected not only by the level of strategic substantiation of the policy, but also budget restrictions, which the territorial authorities can allocate for the development of housing market of the territories. Improvement of the mechanism of state regulation of the local market is possible by optimizing the mechanism’s structure through selection an optimal combination of instruments capable to ensure maximum effect from implementation. The author applies simplex approach for acquiring optimal structure of allocation of budget means in accordance with the factors of effective allocation, defined by the situation in the local housing market. This article presents the results of testing of such method on the example of the subject of the Russian Federation with budget constraints – the Republic of Buryatia. In accordance with the obtained result, the author makes recommendation on reallocation of budgetary funding of the regulatory instruments of the local housing market that allow improving the efficiency of housing policy.

Abstract: At the current stage of social development, diversification of regional development is one of the central tasks for improving its socioeconomic efficiency. Therefore, it seems relevant to find “growth points” of regional development in both economic and social aspects. The ethno-economic segment plays an important role in the system of regional economy with regards to formation of strategies for optimization of the regulatory impact upon the process of regional development. The development of ethnic economy may positively affect self-organization of the regional economy, increase rationalization in the use of ethnic, natural and other resources. The research uses the example of Krasnodar Krai as a polyethnic region with ethnic resources that can be used to augment competitiveness of the region. The goal of this article is to analyze the importance of ethnic resource in the development of Krasnodar Krai as a polyethnic region, as well as work out the organizational-economic mechanism for managing ethnic cluster in order to use the recreational, natural, and cultural-historical potential of the ethnoses of Krasnodar Krai most efficiently. The scientific novelty consists in the development of organizational-economic mechanism for managing ethnic cluster in economic space of the region, which has an effective managerial impact upon the subjects of ethno-economic activity of the region. The article employs the methods of monographic analysis and systemic analysis. In the course of research, the authors determined the characteristics of ethnic cluster as an economic category; revealed that multi-sectoral orientation of functionality of ethnic cluster in Krasnodar Krai indicates the need for the development of organizational-economic management mechanism; characterized the activity of the subjects of regulation of ethnic cluster considering the management hierarchy; worked out the organizational-economic mechanism for managing ethnic cluster.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the main scientific approaches and problems towards formation of economic clusters in Russia considering the regional specificity. The goal of this work consists in the need for scientific analysis on the basis of the conducted grant research of the practical peculiarities of creation and implementation of cluster method in the development of regional economy. The results are valuable for the financial and legal specialists involved in promotion of innovative approaches to the development of production areas. The highlighted in the work recommendations may be used as the framework for future federal and regional programs aimed at optimization of the development of core vectors of national economy. The project is oriented towards identification of the role of cluster method in the economy of the country. Using the data acquired as a result of determining the role of cluster method in economic spheres, the author reveals the development trends of the industrial and agricultural regions from the perspective of achieving financial goals of economic development. The need is substantiated for using the unified platform for interaction between the economic entities interested in the joint financially significant activity, which allow introducing incentives for entrepreneurial and business forms of cooperation aimed at solution of the important economic objectives. This would allow making adjustment for ensuring growth of the socially significant indexes that stimulate positive dynamics of the expansion of financial sectors of territorial development.

Abstract: The subject of the research is the risks that exist on the labor market in the Arctic districts of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The author of the article examines such objective risk-contributing factors of the developing economy and social labor sphere of the Arctic Region as hazardous environmental conditions, vast territory, strong dependence of the population on the state policy aimed at industrial and economic development of the North, instability and disparity in the regional employment pattern, underdevelopment of the engineering, social and transport infrastructure. Special attention is paid to the analysis of unemployment risks, low wages, informal employment, labor migration and professional risks. The author also analyzes how the population perceives these risks on the labor market. The labor market risks are analyzed by the author based on the statistical data, results of the survey conducted in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) regarding the employment and unemployment issues, and results of the expert survey that involved leadership and labor protection specialists of the enterprises and organisations in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The main conclusion of the research is that current risks and constraints on the labor market in the Arctic districts of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) are only growing under the conditions of the financial crisis which requires serious governmental decisions to preserve and keep labor forces in the Far North, to create favorable conditions and increase the life quality of the local population. Based on the analysis of survey results, the author defines particular features of the perception of labor market risks by the population of the Arctic districts of Yakutia.

Abstract: Differences between the territories in economic-geographical situation, socioeconomic development, and political conditions of economic activity, the accumulated knowledgebase and competences, generate nonuniformity of the innovation space, where each region is unique and has its own innovative trajectory of innovative development trajectory. The subject of this research is the the process of formation and development of the regional innovation system (RIS) of Primorsky Region. The hypothesis is advanced that the RIS of Primorsky Region has certain peculiarities substantiated by the impact of economic-geographical location, which are reflected in engraining the specificity of marine management in localized innovation processes. The object of this research is the Kaliningrad Oblast located on the coast of the Baltic Sea. The article covers the period from 1945 to 1990, which allowed determining the peculiarities of the three stages of the life cycle of RIS (origin, development, and maturity), as well as assessing the influence of the factor of coastal location upon them. The author examines the qualitative and statistical data that characterize the five components of RIS: human resources, infrastructure, research and development, innovation environment, and framework conditions. The novelty of this work lies in application of comprehensive approach towards studying life cycle of RIS in its structural complexity in different time periods, as well as in consideration of coastal specificity of the economy. It is demonstrated that the RIS of Kaliningrad Oblast of the Soviet period specialized in marine management, formed as a result of concerted efforts of the government.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the organizational-economic mechanism of managing regional property as a combination of means and methods of achieving goals of the managing system regarding the collectivity of managed objects and subjects, based on the objective economic laws and social processes in the set institutional conditions. The indicated mechanisms are studied from the perspective of their transformation and mutual influence. Special attention is given to such modern organizational-economic mechanism of managing regional property as distributed use of the elements of the regional property complex. It is substantiated that distributed use as a promising organization-economic mechanism of managing regional property allows achieving an economic effect by transition towards network forms of organization of the economic space. Assessment of the economic effect, which is based on imitation modeling of the change in net result of economic activity of the subjects from various regions, in increasing volume of production as a result of implementation of measures on stimulation of the internal demand by the regional authorities, demonstrates that application of distributed use as a mechanism of managing regional property ensures increase in net result of economic activity by an average of 4.4%, while expanding investments into the main capital with set parameters dilutes the net result by an average 0.9%. The regions can also gain additional economic effects from increase in revenue and economy on the costs of proprietors transferred into distributed use of production capacities.

Abstract: This research explores the factors contributing to losses in traditional nature management of the communities of indigenous minorities of the North. The object of this research is the territory of negative impact upon environment in designated activity of industrial companies and its impact upon natural habitat, traditional livelihood, as well as economy and industry of the indigenous minorities. The authors examine the methodical approaches towards assessment of losses in reindeer herding, economic parameters contributing to losses and decrease in revenue for the local communities due to industrial development of their territories. The research is based on the practice of conducting scientific research on assessment of negative impact upon natural habitat of the indigenous minorities of the North in the territory of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). Advancement of the proposed approach towards assessment of losses in private reindeer herding is based on the working methodical approaches towards economic assessment of biodiversity and designated industry in the territories of traditional nature management of the indigenous minorities of the North, Siberia, and Far East of the Russian Federation. The advantage of this method consists in simplification of accounting of the gross revenue from the perspective of agriculture. The studied approaches towards accounting of losses in reindeer herding alongside the industrial companies in the territories of traditional nature management are based on the resource approach with indirect calculation of losses.

Abstract: The subject of the study is approaches to conducting a comparative assessment of the activities of senior officials and executive authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation. The object of the study is the regions (subjects of the Russian Federation). The author analyzes the main approaches to conducting such a comparative assessment, including those used in the Government Methodology for evaluating the activities of senior officials and executive authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation. Based on the identified shortcomings of existing approaches, the author suggests a new approach to conducting a comparative assessment of the activities of senior officials and executive authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation, based on the use of a minimum set of objective indicators characterizing the level and quality of life of the population of the subjects of the Russian Federation. The author's approach is based on the comparison of the level and quality of life of the population of the subjects of the Russian Federation as the main results of the activities of senior officials and executive authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation. To assess the standard of living of the population of the region, it is proposed to use the indicator "the size of the real per capita income of the population", and to assess the quality of life of the population - the indicator "life expectancy at birth". For a visual comparison of regions in statics and dynamics, it is proposed to track the place and trajectory of the image of the region in the space of two coordinates corresponding to the level and quality of life of the population of the region. To differentiate regions in accordance with the results achieved, it is proposed to use a quantitative measure of the distance between the indifference curves in the specified coordinate space. Thus, the proposed approach has a number of advantages, and can be used both by the executive authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation and by researchers to conduct a comparative assessment and choose ways to improve the level and quality of life of the population of the regions.

Abstract: Analysis of regions' business activity is an important research issue that hasn't been solved and still requires a certain commonly accepted approach. The other issue which is also important both practically and theoretically is the selection of methods aimed at identifying the influence of regions' business activity on development indicators of certain economic sectors. Solution of these issues is the aim of the present research. The object of the research is region's business activity (based on the example of the Republic of Tatarstan) and its influence on the development of regional economic systems. The subject of the research involves methods of defining and modeling business activity of the region as well as assessing its impact on development indicators of separate types of economic activity. The author examines such aspects of the topic as identification of factors that develop parameters of regional economic systems' business activity, and analysis of intraregional particularities that define the change in index pathways of business activity that express changes in expectations of economic agents. The author pays special attention to the issues of economic and mathematical modelling to assess the impact of cyclically generated trends of region's business activity on development pathways of certain industries in a region. The research method used by the author is based on using tools of the cross-correlation analysis of the main systematically important factors influencing the process of assessing region's business activity as well as the tools of the statistical analysis and other special methods promoting determination and search for interrelations between the studied statistical ranks. The novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the author develops a conceptual approach to identifying parameters of business activity based on modelling expectations of economic agents and using methods of the cross-correlation analysis. The author's contribution to the topic is that he has developed methodical approaches to determining and describing interrelations of separate types of economic activity of the region with the parameters of business activity formed at the regional level.

Abstract: The UK's withdrawal from the European Union in 2020, as well as the 2016 referendum, had a significant impact on the functioning of many economic mechanisms and even on the lives of people in the European Union and the United Kingdom. The tightened scope of work after the 2020 pandemic has only worsened the state of many enterprises. Consumers faced heavy taxes on imported goods and services, as well as restrictions on movement between countries. The article presents a detailed analysis of the consequences of Brexit for different parties of the negotiations, as well as illuminates the situation in 2021. As you know, everything has become even more complicated with the pandemic. In recent years, it has become increasingly difficult to reach a reasonable compromise on how to get out of this crisis: the UK economy is shaken by shortages of medical equipment, hospitals, and resources to save enterprises from COVID-19, while the introduction of new taxes on trade with the European Union is becoming more complicated due to Brexit.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the correlation between criteria of allocation of state subsidies to regional budgets and the dynamics of interregional inequality by budgetary capacity, measured on the basis of indicator proposed by the author. The object of this research is 83 constituents of the Russian Federation. The timeframe of the research includes the period from 2012 to 2014. Special attention is given to one of the key tasks of the state budgetary policy with regards to equalizing the constituents of the Russian Federation in budgetary capacity. As the means for solution of this task, the author considers the federal budget allocations to regional budgets for the corresponding purposes. The peculiarities of the technique of spatial allocation of state subsidies include: application of indicator proposed by the author that allows measuring budgetary capacity of the constituents of the Russian Federation; modification of the criteria of spatial allocation of state subsidies contained in methodology of allocation of funds for equalizing the constituents of the Russian Federation in budgetary capacity approved by the government of the Russian Federation. The scientific novelty consists in the development and testing of an alternative to official methodological approach towards allocation of federal subsidies for equalizing the Russian regions in budgetary capacity, which imposes fewer requirements on the size of the initial data sets, as well as features the more “transparent” and less complex algorithm of calculation procedures.

Abstract: Increase in domestic tourist flow to domestic resorts in the summer season 2015 – 2016 accentuates the attention of tourism specialists in the issue of analyzing the existing potential of the recreational territories of Russia for the spatial development of domestic tourism. A topical issue is the classification of recreational areas of the country, the formation of databases of recreational areas with the definition of their specialization, available and potentially possible types of tourism, the creation of new tourist products on their basis. The subject of the research is the relations that develop between the managing subjects of tourist activity at different levels of management regarding the definition of the tourist potential of the recreational territories of the Russian Federation, their classification for the purpose of regulating tourism flows of inland and inbound tourism. The authors of the article give a brief overview of typologies and classifications of recreational areas of domestic research centers, the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), the diversity of which emphasizes the need to select common criteria. In this study, for their analysis, the methods of theoretical analysis, comparison and classification, the abstract-logical method were used.The article gives a working version of the definition of "tourist-recreational complex" (TRC), taking into account its inclusion in the system of market relations, a variant of the classification of recreational areas is proposed based on the example of Sochi (Adler district). The main classification criterion is to consider the localization and features of recreational resources tied to a territory that has its borders within the existing administrative-territorial division, taking into account the demand and needs of the tourist. Classification of recreational areas with the definition of tourist zones and most importantly their specialization are necessary both for the purposes of managing the development of tourism, and for orienting the tourist in the available tourist offer. The scope of application of the research results is the theory and practice of tourism, and the sphere of information communications in tourism.

Abstract: The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is viewed as an important partner in the area of economic cooperation by such countries as Russia, United States, Japan, China, and the European Union. For India, this regions is extremely important for gaining access to new market channels, as well as establishment of geopolitical influence over neighboring countries. However, the association actively cooperates with China, which causes certain competition for leadership in the region and heightens India’s interests towards the countries of Southeast Asia. The subject of this research is the economic aspects of bilateral relations between India and ASEAN in the 1990’s. Studying the development of economic cooperation between India and ASEAN in the 1990’s is highly relevant, as the relationship between the countries is the key element of foreign policy and major vector of India’s Look East policy. The scientific interest is substantiated by the ability to analyze factor that influences the bilateral relations, as well as determine potential obstacles in their development. India’s approach to ASEAN is also motivated by the political interests. It is evident that due to the rich resource base alongside scientific and technological potential, the countries of Southeast Asia appear to be strategically important for India. Besides the resource objectives, the alignment with ASEAN opened an opportunity to access the new markets, namely East Asia and Pacific Rim.

Abstract: The search for the factors that launch the mechanisms of economic dynamics remain polemical and generate contradictions between various economic schools and directions. This is caused by the differences in fundamental approaches, as well as by conjunctural transformations that initiate new forms and instruments for activation of economic growth in modern reality. The debates and works dedicated to the contribution of nonmaterial factors to the dynamics of the key macroeconomic indicators of regional systems are particularly acute. In this regard, it is an essential methodological aspect in studying the regional development is the application of approaches that are based on the principles of reputation economics, which covers the reproduction processes through the prism of reputation capital. Considering the relevance of this problem, the author carries out comprehensive analysis of the impact of the reputation capital of the region (classified as intangible assets) upon the growth of business activity of the economic agents. Leaning on the methods of building the system of recursive equations, the key patterns of the impact of reputation upon activation of economic activity in the region are determined. Substantiation is given to the main vectors of implementation of government regional policy through the prism of the theory of reputation economy. The article offers an interpretation, which discloses the priorities and peculiarities of regional development in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, as well as the specific features of strategic territorial management.

Abstract: The article reveals the socio-economic problems and challenges of the development of the Republic of Buryatia under current conditions. The object of the article is the Republic of Buryatia, which is characterized by complex conditions of social and economic development among the regions of Russia. The subject of the study includes social and economic problems and social reference points of the Republic of Buryatia residents. The purpose of the work is to reveal the impact of economic problems, manifested during the crisis, on the social expectations of the population of the republic. Analyzing the production structure and living standards of the population, the authors have used the data for 2015-2016 provided by the Territorial Body of the Federal State Statistics Service for the Republic of Buryatia. The main trends of migration and employment of the population, changes in incomes both in the whole republic and among rural population are given. Particular attention is paid to subjective social orientations of the republic residents under the conditions of the crisis: attitudes toward work, ideas about "good life", immediate plans and long-term aspirations. The authors have used such research methods as economic statistical analysis and sociological survey (formalized interview) on the problems of social integration and disintegration (the number of respondents was 300). The current socio-economic situation in the region indicates a tense situation on the labor market, especially in rural areas. Low incomes of the population put work at the forefront as the main source of livelihood, and the social orientations and immediate plans of the inhabitants of the region are mainly associated with ensuring financial independence and prosperity, while values related to the family and the spiritual world are inferior to the former. The results of the research allow to determine the most acute social and economic problems of the region which can be used to forecast the development of Buryatia, and also to search for growth points for strategic planning.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the theory and practice of assessing transport accessibility of the territories of northern regions, where the absence of all-season overland communications render impossible their comparison and analysis. The common type of communications in northern regions are winter/ice roads, which are not usually included in analysis of infrastructure and transportation accessibility of a territory. Inclusion of the variable of seasonal communications is substantiated by the absences of alternatives in northern regions. The tools for assessing transport accessibility of the territory are developed using the integral index method, which allows determining the differentiation of variables of weighted average time and monetary costs on freight transportation. Such method based on the cost and time assessment of the transportation-logistical expenses allows accounting for changes in the transport complex, related to development of transportation network in the region, reflected on all stages of the logistical process. The developed methodological toolset is based on the classic methods of assessment of regional transportation system, while at the same time presents novelty, as it includes the presence of seasonal types of transportation communications in northern regions of the country and their logistical component, allowing to fully assess the peculiarities of transportation systems in the northern regions. The conducted analysis of the variables of the territorial structure of transportation network of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) revealed heterogeneity in transport accessibility of municipal regions of the Sakha Republic. Results of the analysis of the level of differentiation of transport accessibility of municipalities through methods demonstrated a heterogenic differentiation, influenced by the vastness of the territories, low density of population, as well as sparseness of settlements of the Artic regions among number of other factors.

Abstract: The subject of this research is determination of the peculiarities of assessing spatial characteristics of the development of socioeconomic systems of different scales. Special attention is given to the author’s approach towards assessment of economic space, which can become the basis for universal methodology suitable for comprehensive characteristics of spatial specificity of the economic phenomena and processes. The methodological framework of this research is comprised of the general scientific methods of theoretical and empirical cognition (scientific abstraction, analysis, and synthesis), as well as special methods of comparative analysis (Theil index and Hall-Tideman index). As a result of generalization, systematization and critical reevaluation of the methods of assessing the characteristics of economic space presented in the scientific literature, the author offers an original approach. It is based on the analysis of such spatial characteristics as asset security, homogeneity, and coherence. The peculiarity of this approach lies in consideration of the parameters of localization of objects, as well as the specificity of socioeconomic conditions established in the territory. Testing of the author’s approach allowed comparing the spatial characteristics of the development of foodservice industry in the regions of Middle Ural. It is revealed that Sverdlovsk Oblast outstrips Perm Krai in the level of foodservice industry (although its regional space is more heterogeneous), and the Perm Krai is characterized with a higher concentration of food services. It is proven that the proposed approach towards assessing the economic space can underlie the applied in practice methodological toolset; and thus, is promising for implementation in managing spatial transformations of the country and its separate territorial units.

Abstract: This article explores the problems of state support of the development of multi-cluster formations on the bases of mechanisms of production integration within the frameworks of joint projects of industrial clusters. The goal of this research consists in analysis of the dependence of the size of federal subsidy for implementation of joint cluster projects upon the achieved and planned indicators of cluster development within realization of the project, as well as determination of the correlation between cluster development factors. Analysis is conducted on 38 industrial clusters across regions of Russia. The work presents results of the study of interdependence of state subsidization of joint projects in terms of the Russian industrial clusters and indicators of cluster development. The author determines the innovation-technology vector of state support of joint projects of the participating industrial clusters; as well as underlines lack of strong link between the indicators of cluster development and the amount of federal subsidy for realization of joint projects, excluding the indicator of “quantity of conversions in the technological cluster chain”. The conclusion is made on the absence of strong link between the size of federal subsidy and the indicators of realization of joint projects within the framework of industrial clusters.

Abstract: The object of the research is the state and regional authorities. The subject of the research is the organisational and managing mechanisms that define efficiency of administration in terms of the project-based approach. The need to raise efficiency of state management at all levels of governance is becoming a crucial factor of Russian society's modernization. Defined as the process of transferring management functions and powers from central authorities to regional and local ones, devolution in its turn creates the need to look for efficient mechanisms of implementing socio-economic programs at the regional level. The research methods used by the authors include the analytical method, observation, comparison and description of social processes to study efficiency criteria of state authorities when using the project-based approach as well as the influence thereof on the social and economic development of the society. Adoption of project-based management methods is becoming an important instrument of the state policy aimed at sustainable development of territories. The isuses of institutional and procedural implementation of decentralization processes and granting necessary powers, functions and resources to regional and local authorities are growing especially important. The scientific novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the project-based approach to state management reveals new opportunities to modernize stage governance and offers a new system for evaluating the management mechanism efficiency at state and local authorities.

Abstract: The subject of this research consists in the examination of the theoretical methodological aspects of financial management of the territories with consideration of peculiarities of various stages of their lifecycle. In the current conditions of majority of the subjects of the Russian Federation, especially municipal formations, being in the state of low level financial independence preventing them from reaching strategic priorities of the socioeconomic development without the support of the upper channels, there is a growing relevance in improvements to the system of financial management of various levels of territorial formations. One of the promising vectors in increasing the quality of financial management, which is currently largely neglected, is the consideration of the gradual development of the territories. The work defines the concepts of “territorial lifecycle” and “territorial financial management”, as well as determines the correlation between them and their peculiarities, intrinsic to the lifecycle in the context of territorial development. The author systematizes the approaches to the efficiency of the state (municipal) financial management, which allows concluding that there is an insufficient consideration of the stages of the territorial lifecycle.

Abstract: The subject of the study is the economic relations of the regions of the Russian Federation within the framework of foreign trade relations with non-CIS countries. The regions of the Volga Federal District of Russia are the object of research. The authors consider in detail such aspects of the topic as structural parameters of supplies of goods from abroad to the regions of the Volga Federal District; justification of their critical level in the context of the studied commodity groups and country differentiation; development of proposals aimed at the formation of selective and adaptive measures for the implementation of the import substitution policy to regional peculiarities. Particular attention is paid to the issues of substantiating the doctrine of the need for a selective regional strategy for the implementation of import substitution policy under sanctions pressure, which provides for the need to abandon frontal measures of state support in the sphere of emerging perturbations of external inter-cooperative relations. The main conclusion of the study is the need to implement a selective strategy for adapting the national economy to the localization of imports of goods and services based on the identification of regional features of import dependence in the context of key commodity groups. A special contribution of the authors to the study of the topic is the identification of possible threats to the sustainable development of regional economic systems in the context of sanctions, taking into account the structural analysis of import supplies from unfriendly countries. Based on the review, systematization and analysis of data from the Federal Customs Service, the key parameters of critical imports for the regions of the Volga Federal District are identified and the concept of implementing an adaptive import substitution policy is proposed.

Abstract: The object of this research is the potential of innovative development of Volga Region. The subject of this research is assessment of the processes of innovative transformation of economic systems of Volga Region. Special attention is given to the analysis of peculiarities of spatial distribution of the potential for the development of innovative economy in the context of cluster policy. The author examines the dynamics of cluster formation in the Russian Federation and Volga Federal District, as well as the level of institutional development of the clusters formed in the Volga Region. Based on the previous research, the geographical zones of Volga Region are classified by the author into macroregions, districts, and interregional clusters; on each level of the proposed multilevel model can be determined the leading region and lagging regions. For assessing the innovative transformation of economic systems of Volga Region, the author developed the methodology for comprehensive analysis of innovative development potential of the regions. The outcome Index of innovative development potential of the region (IRIDP) is formed on the basis of four subindexes: index of economic potential of innovative development (IEP-1); index of human resource potential of innovative development (IHRP-2); index of financial potential of innovative development (IFP-3); index of scientific and technological potential of innovative development (ISTP-4). In the course of analysis of the processes of clusterization of the economy of Volga Region, the author determined a significant differentiation of economic space from the perspective of institutionalization of clusters. Nonuniformity of distribution of the clusters by regions, as well as differences in the level of their development, are substantiated by the objective economic-geographical prerequisites and by the performance regional authorities within the framework of federal cluster development projects. The formulated conclusions can serve as the foundation for the formation of spatial contours and vectors of a new stage of clusterization of the economy of Volga Region; its implementation of should consider the complementary nature of innovative and cluster activity of the regions.

Abstract: The article of research is totality of the phenomena and processes, characterizing the production of milk in agricultural organizations.Agricultural organizations of the burial Mound area come forward a research object.In the article opinions of some authors are analysed through question of determination of factors influencing on efficiency of production of milk and dairies, an author is present classification of factors influencing on the whole on efficiency of production of milk of agricultural organizations of the burial Mound area.By means of method of groupment and cross-correlation-regressive analysis the basic factor of production of milk is educed in agricultural organizations in the conditions of the burial Mound area. research methods and corresponding to them receptions are economic and statistical, calculation-structural, cross-correlation-regressive, method of groupment etc.As a result of undertaken a study it is set that on efficiency of production of goods, in particular, milk, totality of factors has influence, such as internal and external. Thus an actual value acquires presently co-operation and diversification of production. the conducted analysis showed that in agricultural organizations of the burial Mound area diversification of production is poorly developed and consequently, high prime price of milk, that negatively influences on efficiency of his production.
