Indicators for assessing the effectiveness of budget support of the innovation process in the region
Various methods of budget support of the innovation process by the regional authorities are reviewed, starting with the first stages of initiation of innovation to the final stage of consumption of innovative product. Felt necessary to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of budget support at each stage of the process, the most relevant are assessments of budget efficiency on the end results, namely concerning the results, which are crosscutting for all the people of the region. Based on the analysis of the international and Russian ratings of innovative development of regions formed a scorecard to evaluate the effectiveness of budget support, reflecting the most important changes taking place within innovation active enterprises, in the market environment and in society at large. The intermediate result indicators are: at the stage of knowledge generation - the number of articles in leading journals, the number of applications for patents; at the stage of technology transfer - the number of innovative projects, the number of prototypes of the innovative product, the number of innovative enterprises; at the stage go-to-market - the number of enterprises started selling an innovative product, the number of enterprises having introduced innovations in series. Indicators of the final result are the tax amounts paid to the regional budget by innovation-active companies, the average wage and the number of jobs in these enterprises. The method based on statistics of Stevens-Burkley, that allow to recalculate the intermediate result indicators to indicators of the final result, taking into account the uncertainty, is worked out.
