Innovative Capacity

Purpose Innovation plays a pivotal role in a national economy and in the research and development of science and technology. Because the elements, capability and development direction of innovation in various countries are dissimilar, national innovative capacity also varies by country. However, previous studies have predominantly measured national innovative capacity through empirical studies by using a single index of innovation output, ignoring that the forms of innovation are heterogeneous across countries and failing to examine the influence exerted by various innovation models on economic development. Thus, the purpose of this study is to fill this gap by using scientific driving force and technological driving force to present the influence of national innovative capacities on economic development. Design/methodology/approach This study used regression models to test the influence of different national innovative capacities (i.e. scientific and technological driving forces) on economic development and stability. Findings Using the data of 60 countries, this study determined that both scientific and technological driving forces influenced economic development; specifically, scientific driving force affected economic development through technological driving force. Moreover, both research paper quality and patent quality positively influenced economic stability, but patent quality was the mediator. Originality/value This study examined scientific output from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives to determine their influence on economic growth and particularly on economic stability, which lacks dedicated studies. This study strives to bridge this gap in the literature by asserting, from the concept of economic resilience, that high-quality science and technology can strengthen the stability of a country’s economy.

This paper presents the conclusion of the Financial university expert group on the socio-economic development forecast for the Russian Federation in 2019–2024 (developed by the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia). The forecast has been evaluated according to the task set in the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation on May 7, 2018 No. 204 “On National Goals and Strategic Objectives of the Russian Federation through to 2024”, regarding achievement breakthroughs in science and technology and socioeconomic development in the Russian Federation. Special attention has been paid to the analysis of forecasted rates and projected sources of economic growth and prospects for social development. According to the analysis, it has been concluded that the proposed forecast indicators are not adequate to the task of “achievement breakthroughs in science and technology and socioeconomic development in the Russian Federation”, provided by the Decree of the President of Russia of May 7, 2018, No. 204.

Surveying And Mapping

With the continuous development of the entire economy, society, and science and technology, the entire earth surveying and mapping technology is also constantly upgrading and developing. With the deepening of digitization, the development of digital surveying and mapping technology has gradually strengthened. Geographical surveying and mapping work plays an important role in the socio-economic development of the entire country and region. The essence and connotation of digital surveying and mapping technology is to serve geographic space and digital technology, and gradually develop to all aspects and deeper disciplines. In the surveying and mapping work, it is necessary to gradually improve the management of the entire digital surveying and mapping technology, continuously improve the service capabilities, and develop the entire surveying and mapping technology to a higher level.

Subject/topic of the research is background and prospects for the transformation of political institutions during the development of the sharing economy and network information technologies. Object of the research is the transformation of political institutions during the development of the sharing economy and network information technologies. The aim of the paper is to analyze the concepts of social economy and the economy of shared access in the context of the transformation of political institutions at the present stage of socio-economic development. Methods. The following general scientific research methods were used in the work: method of induction, deduction, analysis and synthesis, comparison and generalization, as well as structural and graphical methods for visualizing the results obtained. Results. The paper discusses the concept of sharing economy. The four driving forces of the development of the sharing economy at the present stage are characterized. The postulates of the concept of modern sharing are revealed. Russia does not stand aloof from global trends, and the sharing economy is gradually penetrating into Russian society, becoming an effective tool for the national socio-economic development in times of crises. However, the development of domestic sharing has its own specific features that somehow affect the functioning of the sharing economy in Russia. Therefore, the authors carried out a SWOT analysis of the domestic sharing economy. It allowed identifying some opportunities, prospects, barriers, and threats to its development

The Impact

The authors, taking into account the existing developments, reveal the scientific relevance of the topic, which consists in verifying the existing concepts of regional growth driving forces in relation to regions with an industrial or industrial-agrarian economy. The authors describe the practical relevance of the study, which, according to the authors, consists in identifying the reasons inherent in the agro-industrial regions as a whole for their lag in socio-economic development. For the first time, the question of studying the territorial and industrial structure and, in particular, one of its key elements-agro — industrial regions in the context of the formation and development of integration and cooperation processes is raised. The article considers the most important aspect of the problem — the impact of integration on the development of agro-industrial regions, the possibility of the latter to enter the integration union on an equal partnership basis. The authors explain their position on this issue in a reasoned manner. The article proposes a classification of agro-industrial regions of Russia by the size of the integration potential. The classification is based on two criteria: the level of socio-economic development and the degree of the region periphery. At the end of the article, the main priority directions and tasks of the long-term development of the topic under consideration are listed.

Transformation Processes

This article is devoted to the analysis of the impact of digital transformation processes on the socio-economic development of the country. To study the driving forces of development of the economy of the Russian Federation, a three-factor Cobb-Douglas function was constructed that was modified considering the factor of influence of digitalization on the GDP. Modern trends in the field of competition between cheap, but low-skilled labor, and expensive highly qualified labor, determine the need for analytical studies in the field of changing the existing factors of labor in the process of digital transformation. A special role in construction of a model that reflects the influence of various factors of changes within the framework of the sixth technology revolution is given to assessing the significance of the parameters under study in recent times. Wherein, special attention is focused on the need for further study of time lags reflecting the maximum return on use of labor, capital and digital resources.
