Issues and Prospects for the Development of Krasnoyarsk Krai`s Innovation Capacity

В статье на основе модели производственной функции знаний проведен анализ инновационного потенциала Красноярского края. Показано, что инновационное развитие региона соответствует догоняющему типу, основано на заимствовании знаний и технологий, зависит от экономического роста и вложений в региональную инновационную систему. Инвестиции в основной капитал добывающих и первых переделов обрабатывающих производств лишают развития инновационно-ёмкие предприятия и приводят к сдерживанию инновационного развития. Прирост человеческого капитала и накопленных знаний в форме патентов не оказывает значимого влияния на инновационный потенциал Красноярского края. Результаты исследования показывают, что задача стимулирования инноваций в регионе не может быть решена без изменения основ промышленной политики и налаживания тесных кооперационных связей науки и промышленностиThe article analyses the Krasnoyarsk Krai`s innovation capacity using the production function of knowledge. It is shown that regional innovative development is catching-up and based on borrowed knowledge and technologies. Regional innovation capacity depends on economic growth and investment in the regional innovation system. Investments in the fixed capital of the mining and the first redistribution of manufacturing industries deprive the development of innovation-intensive enterprises and lead to the curbing of regional innovative development. The growth of human capital and accumulated knowledge in the form of patents does not have a significant impact on the innovative potential of the Krasnoyarsk Krai. The study results show that the task of stimulating innovation in the region cannot be solved without changing the industrial policy foundations and establishing close cooperative ties between science and industr

The effect of climate change on avian offspring production: A global meta-analysis

Climate change affects timing of reproduction in many bird species, but few studies have investigated its influence on annual reproductive output. Here, we assess changes in the annual production of young by female breeders in 201 populations of 104 bird species (N = 745,962 clutches) covering all continents between 1970 and 2019. Overall, average offspring production has declined in recent decades, but considerable differences were found among species and populations. A total of 56.7% of populations showed a declining trend in offspring production (significant in 17.4%), whereas 43.3% exhibited an increase (significant in 10.4%). The results show that climatic changes affect offspring production through compounded effects on ecological and life history traits of species. Migratory and larger-bodied species experienced reduced offspring production with increasing temperatures during the chick-rearing period, whereas smaller-bodied, sedentary species tended to produce more offspring. Likewise, multi-brooded species showed increased breeding success with increasing temperatures, whereas rising temperatures were unrelated to repro- ductive success in single-brooded species. Our study suggests that rapid declines in size of bird populations reported by many studies from different parts of the world are driven only to a small degree by changes in the production of young

The Concept of Information Asymmetry as a Theoretical Substantiation of the Phenomenon of Public Non-Financial Reporting

The global trend of widespread of public non-financial reporting makes the researchers face the task of finding its scientific basis. A unified theoretical and methodological basis of the concept of public non-financial reporting can be able to form the system of categories, laws, postulates and allow to implement effectively the processes of norm-setting, standardization and harmonization of public non-financial reporting with financial reporting. The purpose of the article is to provide the rationale for the choice of concept of information asymmetry as a fundamental theoretical basis to justify the phenomenon of public non-financial reporting. In the study the author applied the following research methods: analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, comparison, generalization, and a systems approach. The article provides the results of analysis of extension of public non-financial reporting and identification of the problems of its application in Russian firms. The author systematizes the theoretical concepts be able to explain a phenomenon of public non-financial reporting: concept of sustainable development, the stakeholder theory, the doctrine of fair contracts. The author also demonstrates that the concept of information asymmetry is unifying for all of them and can be used to explain the voluntary adoption of obligations for additional disclosure of non-financial measurers by business. There is a need for a further scientific discussion of ideas about the implementation of public non-financial reporting as a prescriptive institutional or voluntary signaling mechanism, problem of its standardization, the counteract unfair usage of non-financial reporting to strengthen the negative effects of information asymmetry and the reallocation of market goods

Industrial Policy: Barriers and Limitations for Innovation Activity Growth of Enterprises in the Conditions of Multi-dimensional Economy of Siberia

Промышленная политика должна обеспечивать достижение стратегической конкурентоспособности отраслей и регионов, а также их сбалансированный рост. Для оценки направлений промышленной политики в статье проведен анализ статистических показателей промышленности России и Красноярского края. Соотношение технологического импорта и экспорта показывает, что российская и региональная экономики относятся к экономикам догоняющего типа. Анализ распространенности технологических укладов иллюстрирует многоукладность российской и одноукдадность региональной экономики, которая основана на нефтедобыче и цветной металлургии. Это подтверждает гипотезу о специфическом механизме экономического развития, известном как «голландская болезнь». В работе доказано, что это обусловлено наследованием типа экономического развития советского периода. Анализ индикаторов инновационной активности предприятий различных технологических укладов показал рост инновационной активности в развивающемся пятом технологическом укладе и закрепление за предприятиями остальных технологических укладов роли производителей традиционной продукции. Выявлено отставание предприятий Сибири по уровню инновационной активности от российского и мирового уровня. В завершении определены приоритеты промышленной политики. Они состоят в поддержке инновационной активности предприятий пятого технологического уклада, а также в стимулировании производителей предыдущих технологических укладов к разработке собственных технологий и сокращению технологического импортаIndustrial policy should provide the achievement of strategic competitiveness of branches and regions, as well as their balanced growth. In the study we analyze statistical indicators in Russia and the Krasnoyarsk krai to estimate the direction of industrial policy. The ratio of technological imports and exports show that the Russian and regional economy are catching-up economies. Analysis of the prevalence of technological structures illustrates that Russian economy is multi-dimensional. Regional economy is mono-dimensional, which is based on oil production and non-ferrous metallurgy. This supports the hypothesis of a specific mechanism of economic development, known as the “Dutch disease”. We proved that this mechanism is due to the inheritance of the type of economic development of the Soviet period. Analysis of indicators of innovation activity of enterprises of different technological structures showed growth of innovative activity in the developing fifth technological structure and the consolidation of the other technological structures companies the role of producers of traditional products. We revealed that innovative activity of Siberian enterprises is lower than innovative activity of Russian and world-known companies. In conclusion we proposed the priorities of industrial policy. They consist in supporting innovation activity of the fifth technological structure enterprises, as well as stimulating the producers of previous technological structures to develop their own technologies and reduce the import proces
