MODERN APPROACHES TO STATE REGULATION OF INFRASTRUCTURE INDUSTRIES (ON THE EXAMPLE OF RAILWAY TRANSPORT)
The aim of the work was to study the features of state regulation of infrastructure support for the railway industry, identify country specifics in this area, as well as establish promising areas of public-private partnership. The analysis showed that differences in the methodology for regulating the infrastructure sphere lead to contradictory consequences: the same approaches are successfully implemented in some countries and are ineffective in others. It is noted that state regulation of infrastructure support for the railway sector in the Russian Federation is subject to the influence of a significant number of factors, including non-economic ones. It is established that the existing objective contradictions can be successfully compensated for the introduction and dissemination of elements of market interest of the subjects of infrastructure activities.
