Practical implementation of Data Envelopment Analysis technology to assess the innovative sustainability of resource-type regions

Abstract

The article is devoted to the modification of the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method to conduct a comparative assessment of the innovative sustainability of resource-type regions. The theoretical basis for the study was the results of the analysis of accumulated foreign experience and current Russian practice on the assessment of sustainable innovative development at the federal and regional levels. Based on the approaches studied, taking into account the identified advantages and disadvantages, the authors proposed a modification of the DEA method, which allows to evaluate the effectiveness of innovative development of regions from a position of sustainability, with subsequent interpretation of the assessment results and identification of factors that have a negative impact. The results of the study can be used by regional and federal government bodies to monitor risks and threats in the innovation sphere of the regions of the Russian Federation, as well as to adjust existing regulatory, strategic documents and improve mechanisms to stimulate innovation in resource-type regions.

Sustainable development of antler reindeer husbandry production in Russia

“…The cost of processing 10 kg of meat on average, depending on the adopted technology, is 12533.6 rubles, provided that the maral meat is not purchased, but its own is used. When calculating, it was found that in LLC "Rus", animals for meat from 50 to 55 heads were culled annually, on average, 6480 kg of meat was received from them [23][24][25].…”

“…Processing of tails is done manually -this is a laborious and rather lengthy process. Processing of maral tails usually consists in drying the tails using a vacuum dryer [19][20][21][22][23].…”

Empirical Assessment of the Efficiency of Sustainable Innovative Development of the Resource-based Regions

“…Для целей данного исследования предлагается использовать понятие «инновационная устойчивость региона» (Ruiga, Stupina, Kovzunova, Chayka, Shkradyuk, 2019). Для определения соответствующей системы показателей и методов количественной оценки эффективности инновационного развития регионов с позиции устойчивости целесообразно взять за основу методологию оценки эффективности инновационной деятельности на федеральном и субфедеральном уровнях.…”

“…Обобщая преимущества и недостатки научных подходов к оценке инновационного развития и идентификации угроз в иннова-ционной сфере (следуя теории экономической безопасности), наиболее обоснованной с точки зрения практической реализации, по мнению автора, представляется методика на основе формирования интегрального индекса в рамках двух проекций (Ruiga, Stupina, Kovzunova, Chayka, Shkradyuk, 2019): 1) инновационный потенциал региона; 2) результаты инновационной деятельности региона (эффективность инновационного развития). Интегральные индексы (или показатели) формируются с учетом частных показателей, которые предварительно подвергаются простому нормированию на величину расхождения между их фактическими и пороговыми значениями.…”
