Nowadays, the development of regions in the Russian Federation is determined by a multitude of competing factors that require comprehensive analysis. Of particular interest are territories that differ from the rest of the country due to their unique status. The object of the research is the regions that make up the Baikal natural territory. The subject of research is the analysis of key parameters and sustainability of territorial systems in the Russian Federation enjoying a special status. The purpose of research was to study various modes of sustainability of regional development using a set of objective statistical indicators. It is concluded that according to many significant socio-economic parameters the situation in the regions of the Baikal natural territory is deteriorating, which, in aggregate, leads to degradation of the regional development sustainability and creates prerequisites for further deterioration of the situation. The results obtained can be used by regional administrations as well as by federal bodies.

No breakthrough in the economic development of the Russian Federation could be achieved without the maximum utilisation of the inner regional potential. This implies high relevance of studies concerning the aspects of influence produced by internal and external factors on regional development, as well as analyses of the existing conditions at the macroeconomic level that support or hinder the engagement of inner regional reserves and opportunities in the regions' socioeconomic development. This would make the basis for a more comprehensive view of the regional system and its inherent properties, helping to identify ways to manage regional development. Objectives. Analysis and decomposition of developmental shifts in the Russian regions and their classification based on internal and external influences. Methods. The primary research method is the shift-share analysis method. The methods of logical and statistical analysis, particularly, correlation analysis, are also used. Results. The driver effects of shifts are calculated at the national, industry, and regional levels for 80 regions of the Russian Federation and the period comprising two time points, 2012 and 2017. The regional and industry effects are analysed by the types of economic activities. It is established that, firstly, the regional effect is negative for most regions and, secondly, the industry effect (in combination with the national effect) acts to smooth out the negative regional effect. Conclusions. A conclusion is made that positive shifts can be achieved both in strong and weak regional economies. Generally, the shifts in Russian regions are mostly influenced specifically by the internal regional conditions, which are mostly adverse, suggesting high importance of regional effects. The research highlights the significance of industry policies at the federal level, primarily in economic activities such as agriculture and manufacturing, and the need for improvement of regional policies implemented at the federal level to raise the number of self-developing regions.

The purpose of this study is to assess the resilience of the development of the Russian regions using the Mahalanobis distance methodology. I test a number of hypotheses about the relationship between resilient development and its level, rate, and the degrees of economic openness and sectoral diversification of the economy. The study relies on the data provided by the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation on 83 Russian regions from 2000 to 2017. The level of economic resilience was determined using five particular indicators per capita: the revenue of the consolidated budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the actual final consumption of households, the investments of firms in fixed assets, exports and imports. Bringing partial indicators of development to a single indicator was carried out by calculating the Mahalanobis distances, demonstrating the average normalized distance of the region to a particular center. The construction of temporal regressions of the Mahalanobis distances for each region made it possible to separate the stable trend of their development from the cyclical component. To assess the absolute and relative levels of the instability of regional development, I used the standard deviation of the residuals of these regressions and its ratio to the time-average Mahalanobis distance of each region. To test the hypotheses, I constructed multivariate regressions based on spatial samples of regions. As a result of the study, I obtain assessments of the level and rate of development, as well as the levels of absolute and relative stability, both for 5 particular indicators and for a composite indicator in all Russian regions. A positive and rather high correlation was found between the level of regional development and its absolute instability. Among the least stable, I found a number of dynamically developing mining regions of the Russian Federation, such as the Tyumen and Sakhalin regions, the Yamalo-Nenets and Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, but also the Kaluga region with a developed manufacturing industry. Some of the less developed regions of the European part of Russia with a fairly diversified economy (Chuvash Republic, Ulyanovsk, Penza and Kirov regions) turned out to be the most stable. The study confirmed the hypotheses about a positive relationship between the degree of development instability and its level and rate, as well as the degree of openness of the economy, and about the negative relationship between the instability and the level of sectoral diversification of the economy. The results of the study can be useful in managing the resilient development of Russian regions.

The subject of this research is the trends and peculiarities of investment cooperation between the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China. The object of this research is the economic cooperation of the two states. The relevance is substantiated by the fact that Russia-China economic cooperation is in priority among the politicians and researchers; due to its high importance for the two countries, it would expand gradually, but there are still multiple problems for deepening the relations and increasing complementarity. The foal of the article consists in examination of investment prospects of the Russian Federation in terms of economic cooperation with China, identification of the problems, and search of possible ways out of the situation. It is underlined that Russia-China economic relations are largely based on the traditional trade. Investments between the countries are limited, and joint projects lately remain incomplete. The author assumes that the significant internal modernizations are necessary in supply chains, which should be subsidized by Russia in order to retain sustainability of regional development. It is determined that there is strong potential for intensification of economic relations, fulfillment of which requires solution of multiple problems.

Objective: To analyze the patterns of morbidity with temporary incapacity for work in the Southern Federal District of the Russian Federation.Materials and Methods: The object of the study is a unified interagency analytics platform. The subject of the research is the indicators of morbidity with temporary incapacity for work of the working population of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation of the Southern Federal District over 2005–2019: “The number of cases of temporary incapacity for work per 100 employees”, “The number of days of temporary incapacity for work per 100 employees”. The descriptive statistics methods were applied.Results: The studied statistical indicators of temporary incapacity for work reveal a steady positive trend in the morbidity rate of the working population in all the constituent entities of the Southern Federal District. From 2014 to 2015, there was a significant reduction in the indicators of temporary incapacity for work in all the constituent entities of the district. The indicators in all the studied constituent entities simultaneously declined, this decline being more prominent than in the previous 10 years. The data of the federal statistical monitoring does not represent an overall set of cases and days of temporary incapacity for work.Summary: It is deemed essential to amend Order of The Russian Federal Service for Statistics No. 723. All individuals and legal entities involved in medical activities for the examination of temporary incapacity for work in the relevant region must provide reports in accordance with Form 16-VN to the competent authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

The subject of the paper is the assessment of regional debt sustainability in accordance to the Budget Code of the Russian Federation. The relevance of the study is due to the aggravation of the regional debt problems at the end of 2020 and the need to have an assessment system that allows to timely respond to a decrease in the level of regional debt sustainability. The novelty of the study consists in the analysis of the system of debt sustainability indicators and their threshold values using the methods of cluster analysis. The article aims to examine if the current assessment system allows to classify regions by the level of debt sustainability quite clearly. As a result of the study, it was shown that the used debt sustainability indicators partially duplicate each other, and the methods of their calculation and the established threshold values discriminate against subsidized regions. In addition, it was shown that the grouping of regions based on the current assessment system does clearly distinguish between regions with high and medium levels of debt sustainability. The conclusion of the study is that in order to improve the system for assessing debt sustainability, it is necessary to change the set of debt sustainability indicators and the procedure for calculating them, as well as to set appropriate new threshold values for the new set of indicators. The prospect of the study is to conduct a similar analysis based on data for 2020 and refine new thresholds for debt sustainability indicators.

The study verifies the compliance of sectorial specialization of Russian regions and the priorities of regional development presented in the form of cluster initiatives. The case of cluster policy shows that sectorial specialization of Russian regions, which was identified statistically, is often ignored when applying public support measures. The paper reports on the results of comparative analysis of the method for determining regions’ specialization industries used in the paper with the list of “economic specializations of Russian regions” mentioned in the “Strategy for spatial development of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025”. The paper suggests recommendations that ensure the multi-level coordination of policy makers’ actions and concentration of resources on the justified priorities of regional development.

Smart Specialization

The article examines the possibilities of the smart specialization strategy for the regions of the Russian Federation as a tool for the complementary development of territories based on knowledge and innovation. The analysis of the application of the smart specialization strategy is carried out on the basis of the author’s indicators that have the following functional and target value: the goal setting of the subjects of the Russian Federation, the methodological tools for managing the development of the subject of the Russian Federation, the potential for the implementation of the smart specialization strategy. As an object of research, the documents of strategic planning of the subjects of the Russian Federation until 2020-2030 are considered. It is concluded that the current nature of the socio-economic and innovation policy reflected in the documents of the strategic planning of the regions of the Russian Federation does not fully correspond to the principles of the smart specialization strategy, but there is a certain methodological continuity of approaches, which gives grounds to draw conclusions about the possibility of using this methodology.
