Natural Result

The potential of Yekaterinburg / Sverdlovsk made it possible to expect creation of a local center for the training of qualified economists in the 1920s and emergence of a special institution with specialists capable of analyzing regional economic problems at a high theoretical level. However, despite the obvious need for economists (practitioners and theorists) and for conducting economic research, this did not happen due to a number of ideological and political restrictions. Mistrust of old specialists, the adoption of Marxism political economy as an ideological dogma, the crisis of higher education, fear of possible party sedition in regional economic research centers led to a natural result - a lag in economic research, poor industrialization of the necessary personnel, and miscalculations in economic planning. Uralplan, UOLE, regional studies organizations engaged in regional economic research were destroyed, which slowed down the development of economic science in Sverdlovsk for several decades.

Spatial Structuring

The transition to a new social order is accompanied by changes in the methodology and functioning of socio-economic systems. The modern period of the development of scientific research is characterized by a variety of recommendations and opinions of scientists on the strategy and tactics of managing economic development. It is difficult to reach a consensus in choosing the most effective means of economic policy, taking into account the peculiarities of the current internal and external situation. For the functioning of the national economy of Russia, it is important to reach a consensus in the applied methods and instruments of state regulation of economy in the territorial context: macroregions, regions, municipalities. The necessary conditions for the successful implementation of state plans and programs are the coordination of the activities of economic entities, production cooperation, and the stability of economic ties. The development and implementation of effective measures are relevant to current scientific problems and are in the center of public attention. The aim of the research is to study the features of spatial structuring in accordance with regional policy and national strategic documents, to conduct a content analysis of the socio-economic situation of Russian territories of different ranks. The expected result is the preparation of recommendations for the development of certain aspects of regional economic research. On the basis of factual material on federal districts, the work examines the possibilities of the practical application of methods and tools of regional economic science to achieve high results in business practice. Using general scientific and applied methods, a conceptual vision of the necessary changes in the priorities of spatial development and the system of strategic planning documents is presented. Based on the objective process of digitalization, current trends have been identified and possible innovations in approaches to structuring space at the subnational level have been formulated, and possible directions of transformation in the management of regional socio-economic systems have been substantiated.

Theoretical Approaches

In economic science dominate orthodox economics (mainstream economics respectively neoclassical economics). Despite its numerous intellectual failures, orthodox economics continue to prevail in teaching at universities. A certain alternative to orthodox economics is heterodox economics, which consists of three groups of theoretical approaches, represented by the Left-wing heterodoxy and Neo-Austrian school (we include them together in the Old heterodoxy) and the New heterodoxy. The objective of this article is to define the differences between orthodox economics and heterodox economics, to find common features of individual heterodox approaches and identify substantial differences between them and also highlight the relevance of these heterodox approaches from the point of view of the challenges we are facing today. A common characteristic of heterodoxy is the rejection of orthodoxy, especially its research methods. Heterodox economists reject the axiom that individuals are always rational, the concept of ‘homo economicus’, the application of a formal-deductive approach, the use of mathematical methods in cases that are not appropriate for this, and access from a closed system position. Heterodoxy is a very diverse theoretical tradition, and there are differences not only between the Left-wing heterodoxy, Neo-Austrian school and New heterodoxy, but also within these heterodox groups. They differ on specific topics they deal with and proposed solutions to socio-economic problems.

Although macroeconomics as an independent economic science emerged only in the twen­tieth century, the first steps in developing the macroeconomic aspect of efficiency were taken several centuries earlier — beginning from the 16th — 17th centuries — at the pre-industrial stage of development of society. Due to the underdevelopment of the production sphere, the search for sources of growth in the efficiency of national economies at that time was mainly carried out from the most general economic positions — as an integral part of solving the main task of the economics of those eras — searching for ways and means of increasing the wealth of nations. At the same time, naturally, among the first were the climatic and foreign economic factors of increasing the efficiency of national economies. For example, factors related to identifying the advantages of various countries in a geographic location and the ability to solve their economic problems by using the most advantageous options for organizing and conducting foreign economic and trade relations. The transition of developed countries to new stages of development — industrial and postindustrial, as well as the selection by John M. Keynes of the new direction of economic research — macroeconomics, historically leads both to a deepening of the meaning of the very category of “macroeconomic efficiency” and to more detailed studies of factors affecting it.

The article is devoted to the 100th anniversary of the birth of Nikolay Prokofyevich Fedorenko, a graduate of M.V. Lomonosov MITHT, a participant of the Great Patriotic War, the head of MITHT department for chemical industry economy (1951-1962), since 1953 to 1958 - the deputy director of MITHT for studies. N.P. Fedorenko is Doctor of Economics, professor, academician of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, member of the presidium of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, academician-secretary of the Economy department of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, one of the main founders and the first director of the Central Economics and Mathematics Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (1963-1985).

Recent decades have witnessed an upsurge in multiple alternative approaches to unraveling major economic problems, together with the mainstream economic theory, which in this study has been considered an indicator of economic crisis. In this study, we attribute institutional stasis, as well as methodological heterogeneity of its two constituent sections, micro- and macroeconomics, to the primary drawbacks of neoclassical economic theory. Overcoming the crisis of economic science correlates with the creation of a general economic theory on the principles of “pure science,” with elucidated functions of various socioeconomic disciplines. If “pure economic theory” intends to form an intellectual layout of the economic system, then the “realistic sciences,” also including modern macroeconomics in this study, are tools for analyzing specific socioeconomic phenomena and processes. As people with consciousness and interests act in the society, this study postulates the existence of a certain zone of ambiguity, which cannot be entirely covered.

Unbalanced regional development is an inevitable trend in the development of all countries in the world. The rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology has created tools for the study of regional development issues. IoT has many advantages and thus owns a very wide range of applications. This paper makes use of geographic information system (GIS) technology, which can be viewed as one of the IoT sensing information. Changes in spatial regional economic differences and space and the evolution of the structure are particularly examined by processing spatial information such as maps, analyzing phenomena and events that exist on the earth, and exploiting Kriging and inverse distance weighting (IDW). The numerical results in this paper justify that the introduction of GIS technology to the study of economic diversity can upgrade regional economic research from a traditional qualitative and statistical level to a quantitative and spatial visualization level.
