Assessment of the Impact of New Technologies and Human Capital on the Contribution of New Technological Modes to the Economy of the Regions of the Siberian Federal District of the Russian Federation

Abstract

The article presents the results of the analysis of the impact of new technologies and human capital on the contribution of new technological modes in the economy of the Siberian Federal District. Econometric estimates of the impact of new technologies and human capital on the contribution of new technological modes in per capita GRP in the Siberian Federal District`s regions of the Russian Federation were obtained. Elasticity coefficients of the contribution of new modes in per capita GRP due to new technologies evaluated with the capital labor ratio with fixed assets and the use of human capital evaluated with the share of employees having higher education were estimated. The use of new technologies is the most effective in Irkutsk region, Tomsk region, Novosibirsk region, Omsk region and Krasnoyarsk territory. The use of new technologies is inefficient in Trans-Baikal territory, Republic of Buryatia and Republic of Altai. The use of human capital is the most effective in Tomsk region, Irkutsk region and Krasnoyarsk territory. The use of human capital is inefficient in Republic of Buryatia, Republic of Tuva, Republic of Altai, Altai Territory and Trans-Baikal territory. The value of elasticity coefficients determines the necessity of increasing investments in the region either in fixed assets or to increase the share of employees having higher education.
