The article is devoted to assessing the relationship between productivity as the most important source of sustainable economic development, and various factors that can explain this productivity. The method of productivity estimation used in the paper takes into account that income is created using not only living labour, but also capital stock. In contrast to previous studies, the paper uses the productivity index that meets the transitivity criterion, which allows for geographical comparisons. To assess the benefits of economic-geographical location (EGL), a new centrality measure is presented that reflects the network nature of territorial connections and allows us to switch to accounting for not only points but also areal objects, particularly the subjects of the Russian Federation. Using the new centrality measure, it is shown that EGL explains the differences in productivity between the regions – the subjects of the Russian Federation in 2010–2016 better than other factors. At the same time, it follows from the estimated model that various properties of the labour force described by the concepts of human capital, and the institutional environment are significantly less related to the observed productivity of regions. To demonstrate the superiority of economic-geographical approaches to explaining productivity, we used relatively new for economic geography methods of machine learning.

Subject. This article examines the set of economic relations and problems emerging within the spatial development of settlements and constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Objectives. The article aims to develop key indicators and methods for assessing transport accessibility, potential market capacity, taking into account socio-economic characteristics, geographical location and the level of connectivity of areas. Methods. For the study, we used the methods of economic, statistical analysis and synthesis, comparison, and the k-means method. Results. The article proposes a system of cost-benefit equations for economic agents, and criteria, and a methodology for assessing the Transport Accessibility Index. Based on the clustering of Russian subjects by k-means, the article describes four groups of regions by level of transport accessibility. Conclusions and Relevance. The practical use of the approach presented to assess the Transport Accessibility Index will help form the basis for management decisions aimed at improving efficiency in the planning of spatial development and assessing the socio-economic effects of the proposed measures. The developed Transport Accessibility Index should be used as part of the analysis and monitoring of the effectiveness of infrastructure expenditures affecting changes in the transport accessibility of settlements within individual regions (municipalities).

The presented study examines the current state of the digital transformation of management, economy, and social sphere. The authors analyze the fundamental features of the digitalization of management, economy, and social sphere, namely: the mechanism of transformation of a considerable part of social and business interactions within the information and telecommunications space; development of remote forms of employment and transmission of information; active commercialization and use of digital currency and smart contracts; development of digital management.Aim. The study aims to substantiate the theoretical and methodological provisions on the current state of management, economy, and social sphere, and to develop practical recommendations on the improvement of the digital transformation of management, economy, and social sphere.Tasks. As part of the realization of the set aim, the authors solve the problems of examining the legal and regulatory framework of formation and development of the digital transformation of management, economy, and social sphere; analyzing the content of the digital transformation of management, economy, and social sphere in modern Russia; identifying the problems of the digital transformation of management, economy, and social sphere, and prospects for its development.Methods. The methodological basis of the study comprises the fundamental provisions of the modern economic theory, theories of public and municipal administration and those describing the functioning of the social sphere. The information basis of this study includes the laws and regulations of the Russian Federation, statistics of public institutions and science centers on the implementation of newinformation technologies, materials of national programs for the digitalization of the economy and social sphere.Results. The authors substantiate that at the current stage of development of management, economy, and social sphere, information and computer technology has a decisive impact on the technological and institutional environment within the society.Conclusions. Examination of indicators associated with the transformation of digital technology in management, economy, and social sphere makes it possible to conclude that the Russian Federation as a whole is making good progress in the digitalization of the examined sphere. However, by independently integrating into a digital reference system, Russia faces a key problem in the field of management. Digital technologies will not work without establishing relations between economic actors and their management in general. Without this synchronization, they cannot develop properly.

Research background: A series of changes towards the greater openness to the influx of foreign labour force made in recent years in the Russian Federation prompts for analysis of immigration to this country as adopted solutions in the field of the migration policy affect other regions of destination (e.g. EU). Liberalisation of access of migrants to the Russian labour market is a part of a wider problem: competition (on an international scale) for an influx of foreign labour force. In this context, it is worth examining how the crisis which affected the Russian economy influenced the scale of immigration to Russia from the main sending countries, i.e. the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Purpose of the article: The aim of the article is to show the impact of the crisis which affected the Russian economy in recent years on the scale of immigration from the CIS countries to Russia. The main hypothesis is as follows: the factor explaining immigration from the CIS countries to Russia is the difference in the level of income measured by GDP per capita (PPP) between the sending state and the country of destination. Such studies have not been undertaken so far and, due to the role of factors inherent in the concept of post-imperial migration, it becomes relevant to examine whether the factors shaping migration (including the differences in the level of income) recognised in the neoclassical theory of migration are important in explaining the flows in this area. Methods: In order to check the relationship between immigration and the economic crisis in Russia, the analysis of correlation and regression was used. Findings & Value added: It has been shown that despite the decline in GDP in Russia, immigration from the CIS countries to Russia is not decreasing. Therefore, it is a dependence different from the assumptions of the neoclassical economy according to which the reduction of differences in the level of income between the sending state and the country of destination reduces the scale of international migrations. As it has been shown, the scale of migration to Russia may not be explained by the difference in the level of GDP per capita in all CIS countries and, inter alia, political factors, conflicts or naturalisation processes become more important in shaping the scale of migration to Russia.

Abstract. The purpose of the research was to assess the duration of the length of productive life of Simmental cows. Methods. The research was carried out on Simmental cows bred in 14 regions of the Russian Federation, the total livestock was 8 832 heads. The calculation of the heritability coefficients and correlation (genetic and paratypic) was carried out by using the programs RENUMF90 and REMLF90. Results. A fairly strong relationship was established between the duration of a productive life (months) and the age of culling (lactations) r = +0.795, the length of productive life (months) and lifetime productivity within the range of +0.669…+0.714. However, the relationship between the age of culling (lactations) and lifetime productivity is moderate, from +0.261 to +0.316. A moderate negative relationship was obtained between the age of culling (lactations) and milk yield per first lactation from –0.472 to –0.486. The average relationship was found between milk yield per first lactation and lifetime productivity from +0.567 to +0.588. Cows of the Altai Territory (3.08 lactations or 61.6 months), the Republic of Mordovia (3.38 lactations or 62.4 months) and the Lipetsk region (3.40 lactations or 65.7 months) were distinguished by low age of culling. While the greatest length of productive life was noted in animals and Bryansk (5.48 lactations or 86.9 months) and Irkutsk regions (4.57 lactations or 77.1 months). Bryansk (23 630 kg of milk), Tyumen (18 156 kg) and Irkutsk (17 751 kg) regions occupied the leading positions in lifetime productivity of cows in the sample, while the outsiders were the regions of traditional cattle breeding - Altai Territory (12658 kg of milk), the Republic of Bashkiria (12 482 kg). Scientific novelty. For the population Simmental cattle of the Russian Federation, for the first time, an assessment of selection and genetic parameters of lifelong productivity and length of productive life of Simmental cows was carried out, depending on the breeding region.

The paper analyzes and systematizes the basic catego-ries related with threats to the economic security of the Russian Federation, and establishes the relationship of their components in accordance with Federal regulatory legal documents. It provides an overview of the ap-proaches contained in the works of different authors in relation to the formation of the composition of threats to the economic security of the state and the assess-ment of their relevance. As a result, it is concluded that it is necessary to improve existing methods for as-sessing economic security threats for the national economy. The author’s method of calculating an inte-gral indicator for assessing threats to the economic security of the Russian Federation, based on a system of indicators grouped into clusters, is proposed. The initial approbation of the methodology was carried out on the basis of the author’s estimates of threshold val-ues and significance levels of indicators of economic security threats.
