The problems of formation of an effective system of fiscal federalism in modern Russia are considered. For a number of objective and subjective reasons, inter-budgetary relations between the federal center and the regions are based on an obvious priority in favor of the interests of the federal center. This has an extremely negative effect on the socio-economic development of the country's regions. The article presents an overview of scientific studies devoted to determining the need to use fiscal federalism as a strategic factor ensuring the effective development of the country's regions. The system of fiscal federalism in the USA and Germany, its advantages and disadvantages is analyzed. The author notes that the experience of these countries confirms the need to use fiscal federalism in countries with a large territory and significant differences in the level of economic development between regions. Ensuring the competitiveness of the region and its transition to an innovative development model can become a reality only if the regions, firstly, have the necessary financial resources for this; secondly, if they are independent in making decisions on determining the direction of using these resources. When the system is conserved, when the region is strategically dependent on the opinion of the federal center, it is a dead-end option. The economic situation in the Udmurt Republic is analyzed, which is a typical example of an industrial region in the Urals. In the current century, three programs for the development of the regional economy have been adopted. However, the practical implementation of the programs ran into great difficulties, since Russian regions are unable to ensure the solution of current problems and development for the future due to the lack of the necessary financial resources. In these conditions, the formation of a modern effective system of fiscal federalism should be considered as a problem requiring a mandatory prompt solution. The socio-political situation in the country and the prospects for its development are determined by the state of affairs in the regions. Therefore, the development of fiscal federalism acts as a strategic condition for the development of the national economy as a whole.

Subject. The article discusses the role of tax capacity in the management of inter-budget relationships. Objectives. The article aims to build and develop a qualitatively new motivational model to encourage Russian constituents to increase their tax potential by ranking them in socio-economic development groups. Methods. For the study, I used the methods of comparative, vertical and horizontal analysis, and statistical groupings. Results. The article clarifies that the mechanism for providing financial or other support to regions with the best tax potential is not working well because the economically developed territories have a higher rate of tax capacity and will always be ahead of the less developed ones. However, that could not be a significant growth rate in the main macroeconomic indicators, since a certain level of development has already been achieved. Conclusions. The article reckons that it is necessary to rate the regions by group of social and economic development and identify leaders with the best tax potential value in each group. This can help to develop an effective system of budgetary allocation and stimulating the regions' tax potential development.

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 role of the state in economic development is one of the oldest topics in economics, yet controversies rage with similar passion and camps are divided on lines today broadly similar to the early writings. Though the authors of the papers in this symposium present different views, they all refuse to pose the question as a simple choice between the market mechanism and state intervention. Larry Westphal and Albert Fishlow evaluate the South Korean and the Latin American experience, respectively, in their essential complexity. Mrinal Datta-Chaudhuri draws upon a comparative study of the Indian and East Asian cases to bring out the contradictions and complementaries in the relationship between the state and the economy. Anne Krueger's paper reflects on how the comparative advantages and disadvantages of state action flow from its organizational and incentive characteristics.
