The subject of the research is spatially non-uniform innovative activity, carried out at the regional level (meso level) within the macroregion of the South of the USA, analyzed and assessed on the basis of the qualitative measures (indicators and integrated index) of the level of innovative capacity and innovative activity of the regional innovative systems which gained development and statistical accounting of the results of the stated activity within specific states. The identified combinations, high correlation dependence and interconnection of indicators of innovative potential and innovative activity of regional innovation systems of the states of the South of the USA, made it possible to substantiate a number of trends in the development of these systems, to assess the peculiarities of spatial integration and, at the same time, the different-level differentiation of these systems, reflecting heterogeneity and unevenness. development of innovation activity on the «center-peripheral» type. The final typology of regional innovation systems of the states of the South of the USA, based on the logarithmically normal distribution of the indices of innovation activity and the integral indicator of the level of innovative potential of the average values for the period 2015–2019, results in a qualitative spatial diversity of these systems, determined by the joint influence of both economic phenomena on the deepening heterogeneity and differentiation of the latter.

The subject of this study is the spatially heterogeneous innovation activity carried out at the regional(meso) level of the United States, analyzed and evaluated on the basis of qualitative indicators (indicators and integral indicator) of the level of innovation potential and innovation activity of regional innovation systems that have received development and statistical accounting of the results of these activities in within specific states. The identified combinations, high correlation dependence and interconnection of indicators of the innovative potential and innovative activity of regional innovation systems of the US states, made it possible to substantiate a number of trends in the development of these systems, to assess the features of spatial integration and, at the same time, the different-level differentiation of these systems, reflecting the heterogeneity and uneven development innovation activity on the “center- peripheral” principle. The final typology of regional innovation systems of the US states, based on the logarithmically normal distribution of the indices of innovation activity and the integral indicator of the level of innovative potential of the average values for the period 2015–2019, results in a qualitative spatial diversity of these systems, determined by the joint influence of both economic phenomena on the deepening of heterogeneity and differentiation of the latter.

Purpose: The paper deals with the assessment and analysis of regional innovation systems. It is noted that the quantitative criterion of innovation effectiveness as the degree of influence of resources spent on obtaining the target result is practically not used in the analysis of the development of regional economic systems. Methodology: The issues of quantitative measurement of the effectiveness, performance, and sustainability of the regional innovation system development are considered. According to the methodology proposed by the authors based on an assessment of the materiality and sustainability of statistical relationships between factor and result indicators of innovation activity, a multidimensional statistical analysis concerning the development of the Russian Federation regions by the level of innovative activity was carried out. Result: The principle of division of the space formed by innovative activity features according to their functional significance in the system is formulated. A method of identifying sustainable relationships between elements of a regional innovation system within the process approach concept has been tested. Special groups of factors that have a statistically significant effect on innovation activity are identified. Methods for calculating effectiveness and performance indexes in categories of statistical variation are proposed. The differentiation of regions by the innovative development determinants is revealed. The conclusions about the feasibility of applying the presented methodology for a reliable assessment of the effectiveness of regional innovation system development are made. Applications: This research can be used for universities, teachers, and students. Novelty/Originality: In this research, the model of A system approach to assessing the effectiveness of regional innovation systems in the concept of statistical sustainability is presented in a comprehensive and complete manner.

Currently, there is a tendency to evaluate the innovation system at the national level. Qualitative inter-country comparison requires quantitative and qualitative assessment of the factors influencing the innovation activity of the region. The purpose of this work was to justify quantitatively the impact of science and business on the innovation activity of the region. International patent applications are selected as an indicator reflecting the result of innovation activity in the region. Statistical hypothesis testing is carried out in this paper. The dependence between the results of innovation activity and innovation space of the region is confirmed by the methods of econometric modeling. The innovation space of the region is described in the work as a set of potential links between business and organizations that create new knowledge. The study used the official statistics of the regions of such countries as Russia, Switzerland, USA, China and Japan. Estimates of parameters of national and regional innovation systems of the Russian Federation, Switzerland, the USA, China and Japan are received by methods of econometric modeling. It is shown that the assessment of elasticity and technical efficiency of the innovation space of the region indicate the development of the innovation system. In the considered time range it is established that the Pareto-optimality property is possessed by the parameters of innovation systems of Japan, China and Switzerland. Estimates of the technical efficiency of the innovation space for a total of 190 regions according to 2012, a comparative analysis of the countries on the basis of the estimates. The paper provides a rationale for the use of parametric descriptions of national and regional innovation systems. This description can be used for cross-country comparison of the impact of science and business on the results of innovation activity, clustering of national innovation systems.

The subject of the research is the key stages, specifics and branches of the digital economy; foreign experience in the development of the digital economy and the utilization of the digital economy models and trends in the USA and China; technological platforms in Russia used in medicine, biotechnologies, data communication and aerospace technologies. The purpose of the research was to identify problems associated with insufficient upgrading of technological platforms as evidenced by the decreasing share of organizations implementing technological innovations in various activities. Based on the analysis, the factors contributing to the development of regional innovation systems have been identified and assessed in the context of the Russian federal districts. It is concluded that the insufficient development of the national innovation system is largely due to the poor coordination of regional innovation systems, the lack of interlinks and the underdeveloped technological base.

Canada's Regional Innovation Systems: The Science-based Industries, Jorge Niosi, Montreal & Kingston: McGill-Queen's University Press, 2005, pp. x, 171.Encouraging innovation in order to promote the growth of productivity and higher real incomes continues to be a centrepiece of economic policy in Canada. Canada's relatively poor performance in innovation and productivity growth compared to the United States remains a vexing problem in the minds of Canadian policymakers and academics. Notwithstanding much study of the issue, as well as policy initiatives designed to address the innovation and productivity gaps, it seems fair to say that we know much less than we should about the causes of and remedies for those gaps. In this respect, Jorge Niosi adds valuable information about how innovation activity has evolved over time in Canada. In particular, Niosi provides detailed discussions of the emergence and evolution in Canada of what has been called regional innovation systems (RIS). In the course of the discussions, he also offers some valuable policy insights with respect to promoting the growth of RIS.
