Introduction. The article is of relevance due to the need to develop models of regional development within the diversity of socio-economic, natural and geographical conditions of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The purpose of the paper is to review the problems and risks standing in the way of the development and implementation of the up-to-date strategy of regional development as well as to identify the models of development of the constituent entities, based on an analysis of a certain system of factors. Materials and Methods. The methods of factor and systemic analysis of socio-economic, geographical and natural indicators were employed; content analysis was performed and an overview of the strengths and weaknesses of the country’s regions was given. Results. An analysis of socio-economic indicators and of the dynamics of the development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation has been performed as well as that of their natural and geographical conditions. A typology of regions has been developed, which includes eight classifications taking into account their strengths and weaknesses, geographical location and resources available. The reasons for the lack of an up-to-date model of development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the risks associated with the adoption of this strategy have been identified. Discussion and Conclusion. Due to the rather high difference between the regions in economic, social, natural and geographical conditions, it is necessary to take into account the identified features when devising a regional development strategy. This approach can make the best possible use of the competitive advantages of each of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation; it can help form a competent system of intra-regional relations and reduce the proportion of wrong decisions, measures and policies for regional development.

The article aims at determining the strategic priorities of Ukraine’s budget development policy while implementing the regional development strategy for the years 2021–2027. The strategic priorities of the budget policy on territorial development are substantiated in the context of, first, creating the regional development strategy and territorial development strategies for the years 2021-2027, and second, shifting the focus from spatially oriented measures, i.e. stimulating the development of problematic areas, to the policy of territorial development through activating untapped potential, the policy being aimed at increasing regional and national competitiveness, with special attention paid to innovation. The necessity to observe both the vertical and horizontal integration of the formation and realization of budget policy on territorial development, and the necessity to implement it, combining the problem-oriented and general approaches to directing the territorial development budgeting (territorial development budgeting is based on the following: competitive advantages of the functional types of the regions; development of problematic regions; regional development in the context of smart specialization; border areas development in the context of cross-border cooperation). A prospect for further research in this field is seen in making an attempt to form the budget policy on territorial development in Ukraine on the basis of defining strategic priorities for regional development and the development of different level territories, aimed at: reducing interregional and intra-regional asymmetries; ensuring universal improvement of the quality of life; transferring the territories to development based on sustainability, inclusiveness, innovation, and the maximization of using and building up the existing potential.

The growth of poverty and spatial asymmetry in the socio-economic development of territories contributes to the growth of social tension and the discontent of people living in these regions. The article presents a comparative analysis of regional strategies for seven constituent entities of the Russian Federation – the Vologda Region, Voronezh Region, Kostroma Region, Krasnoyarsk Territory, the Republic of Bashkortostan, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the Republic of Tatarstan, based and updated in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Law of the Russian Federation of June 28, 2014 No. 172-FZ «On strategic planning in the Russian Federation». Regions have significant differences in geographical location, raw materials, infrastructure, and income level. The presence in the regions not only of an invariant, but also of a selective list of directions and tasks was revealed. A tool is proposed to reduce the spatial socio-economic asymmetry of the regions of Russia, selected taking into account the experience of the subjects in implementing strategies to smooth out spatial inequality in socio-economic development: a scheme for the development and distribution of productive forces (Voronezh Region): a strategy for the development of economic zones and agglomerations (Republic of Tatarstan ); development strategy of municipal districts and urban districts (Voronezh Region, Republic of Tatarstan); public-private partnership projects (Voronezh Region, Krasnoyarsk Territory, Republic of Tatarstan); geographic information system (Voronezh Region, Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), Republic of Tatarstan). The proposed strategies will make it possible to increase the effectiveness of measures implemented by the authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

Subject. This article analyzes the imbalances in the social and economic development of the subjects of the Russian Federation, and examines the issues of forming a policy of equalization and development of competitive advantages. Objectives. Analyzing the intraregional imbalances in the development of the subjects of the Russian Federation, the article aims to identify the internal causes of development imbalances and the dysfunctional subsystems. Methods. For the study, I used the methods of logical and statistical analyses. Results. The article reveals certain disparities in the social and economic development of a number of Russian entities, where one of the areas of development dominates. The article proposes certain theoretical provisions of the system for studying the intraregional imbalances in regional development. Conclusions. Since the level of socio-economic development of Russia's regions is characterized by significant differentiation, in order to improve the effectiveness of regional development policies, an analysis of internal imbalances in the development of the country's subjects is needed.

The purpose of this article is to study on the example of the Strategy of Spatial Development of the Russian Federation Until 2025 adopted in February 2019 the opportunities and constraints, which inevitably accompany the approval of strategic planning priorities. The article shows that the system of priorities is a necessary planning tool, especially for the development of long-term strategic plans. In this sense these priorities of both sector and spatial characteristics act as a connecting link between desired trends of socio-economic development of the country and its regions and specific target indicators of the plans. The author shows that the formation of priorities inherent for the spatial vector of socio-economic strategizing is characterized by a number of particular features. These features include allocation of various “zones”, “territories”, individual regions or groups of regions with specific characteristics and special importance for the development of the country and for its economic security as special objects of the state policy of regional development. Such a prioritization allows to focus the policy of regional development and state resources allocated to it on the most important areas (objects) and, therefore, to achieve maximum effectiveness of this policy. However, the priority model of regional development policy is limited in its scope. The frame of its use cannot contradict to other important principles of this policy, the main of which is the need to maintain the common economic and legal space of the country. The article discusses the possibility of maintaining a balance of setting priorities and other principles of regional development policy in the Russian Federation.

In the 2000s, the socio-economic development strategies of almost all regions of the Russian Federation envisaged the formation and development of regional clusters (mostly innovative industrial ones). While the cluster policy had dirigiste nature: the list of potential clusters, the circle of participants, territorial and non-territorial boundaries, the expected effects of operation were determined by regional administrations. The same type of cluster development mechanisms and tools which do not take into account regional specifics and promising economic specializations have led to premature disillusionment in the cluster concept. Full-scale mature clusters can function successfully if their profile is consistent with the specifics of the region, including restrictive factors hindering economic activity (in the Baikal region this is the so-called "Baikal" factor). The article discusses the promising directions of clustering the economy of the Baikal region in the context of the cluster development of the subjects of the Russian Federation, substantiates the role of cluster policy in increasing the connectivity of the economic space of the country and its regions.

Subject. This article analyzes the changes in poverty of the population of the Russian Federation. Objectives. The article aims to identify macroeconomic variables that will have the most effective impact on reducing poverty in Russia. Methods. For the study, I used the methods of logical, comparative, and statistical analyses. Results. The article presents a list of macroeconomic variables that, according to Western scholars, can influence the incomes of the poorest stratum of society and the number of unemployed in the country. The regression analysis based on the selected variables reveals those ones that have a statistically significant impact on the financial situation of the Russian poor. Relevance. The results obtained can be used by the financial market mega-regulator to make anti-poverty decisions. In addition, the models built can be useful to the executive authorities at various levels for short-term forecasting of the number of unemployed and their income in drawing up regional development plans for the areas.

Subject. This article examines the set of economic relations and problems emerging within the spatial development of settlements and constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Objectives. The article aims to develop key indicators and methods for assessing transport accessibility, potential market capacity, taking into account socio-economic characteristics, geographical location and the level of connectivity of areas. Methods. For the study, we used the methods of economic, statistical analysis and synthesis, comparison, and the k-means method. Results. The article proposes a system of cost-benefit equations for economic agents, and criteria, and a methodology for assessing the Transport Accessibility Index. Based on the clustering of Russian subjects by k-means, the article describes four groups of regions by level of transport accessibility. Conclusions and Relevance. The practical use of the approach presented to assess the Transport Accessibility Index will help form the basis for management decisions aimed at improving efficiency in the planning of spatial development and assessing the socio-economic effects of the proposed measures. The developed Transport Accessibility Index should be used as part of the analysis and monitoring of the effectiveness of infrastructure expenditures affecting changes in the transport accessibility of settlements within individual regions (municipalities).

The paper considers the priorities of the state policy of the Russian Federation in the Arctic, from the point of view of the development of scientific research, identified by the main strategic documents of national policy and security in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. Measures for implementation of priorities in the development of scientific research in the Arctic can be divided into three main sections: 1. Scientific projects and expeditions in the Arctic; 2. International activities; 3. Coordination and implementation of integrated research in the Arctic. Note that currently the Ministry of education and science of the Russian Federation develops the Analytical Coordination Program “Comprehensive research of the Arctic and Antarctic”, in cooperation with the federal state bodies and Governance of the Subjects of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The mechanism of the Program will ensure coordination between state bodies for integrated scientific researches in the Arctic in the interests of economic and scientific development of the region, and the creation of the scientific, technical and technological reserve in order to ensure of national security in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation.

While the development of the country's national innovation system as a whole is very important and should be prioritized, its regional aspect is even more important. The specifics of the Russian Federation's transition to an innovation-based economy is in that that, at the present time, prioritized is the need to ensure the effective development of those economy sectors that underlie the country's specialization and may provide regional and national competitive advantages. To such sectors belong the chemical industry, machine-building and power energetics. We would like to note that initial innovation awareness indicators in the regions are comparable and do not differ greatly but the growth of activity can be observed only in some of the regions. The problem of large differentiation among the constituent entities of the Russian Federation by their level of economic development remains important and has to be dealt with.

The topic of quantitative research on informal employment has a consistently high relevance both in the Russian Federation and in other countries due to its high dependence on cyclicality and crisis stages in economic dynamics of countries with any level of economic development. Developing effective government policy measures to overcome the negative impact of informal employment requires special attention in theoretical and applied research to assessing the factors and conditions of informal employment in the Russian Federation including at the regional level. Such effects of informal employment as a shortfall in taxes, potential losses in production efficiency, and negative social consequences are a concern for the authorities of the federal and regional levels. Development of quantitative indicators to determine the level of informal employment in the regions, taking into account their specifics in the general spatial and economic system of Russia are necessary to overcome these negative effects. The article proposes and tests methods for solving the problem of assessing the impact of hierarchical relationships on macroeconomic factors at the regional level of informal employment in constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Majority of the works on the study of informal employment are based on basic statistical methods of spatial-dynamic analysis, as well as on the now «traditional» methods of cluster and correlation-regression analysis. Without diminishing the merits of these methods, it should be noted that they are somewhat limited in identifying hidden structural connections and interdependencies in such a complex multidimensional phenomenon as informal employment. In order to substantiate the possibility of overcoming these limitations, the article proposes indicators of regional statistics that directly and indirectly characterize informal employment and also presents the possibilities of using the «random forest» method to identify groups of constituent entities of the Russian Federation that have similar macroeconomic factors of informal employment. The novelty of this method in terms of research objectives is that it allows one to assess the impact of macroeconomic indicators of regional development on the level of informal employment, taking into account the implicit, not predetermined by the initial hypotheses, hierarchical relationships of factor indicators. Based on the generalization of the studies presented in the literature, as well as the authors’ statistical calculations using Rosstat data, the authors came to the conclusion about the high importance of macroeconomic parameters of regional development and systemic relationships of macroeconomic indicators in substantiating the differentiation of the informal level across the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
