The Impact of Scientific and Educational Potential on the Economic Development of the Russian Federation at Regional and National Level
The article covers the impact of 'scientific and educational potential' (SEP) on the Russian Federation's (RF) economic development at regional and national level. With respect to the latter, the critique suggests that the problem becomes particularly acute when dealing with the RF National Security Strategy (NSS). The commentary, in so doing, addresses Russia's major challenges in the framework of state aid, proposing innovative economic stimuli that prioritize the NSS interests. These stimuli would include activities in areas such as science, technology and engineering. At this stage, the paper indicates that unresolved issues still remain regarding the impact of state-directed SEP on the country's regional productivity. The report adds that thus far insufficient activity has been dedicated to the dynamics of domestic outlays on R&D. The blueprint, in the course of the discussion, has considered SEP's innovative effects on RF's economic growth, recommending that its scientific agenda undergo financial modifications as well as systemic reforms.
