Abstract

The article presents a review of approaches to assessing the business climate for innovation. Composite indexes are considered the main tool for comprehensive monitoring of a wide range of external environment factors that determine the favorability of the business climate for innovation. The paper discusses the opportunities and limitations of analyzing the innovation climate using international rankings; and formulates the main requirements for such projects for targeted use to analyze national innovation systems and improve state regulation of innovation. The paper identifies and analyzes 16 international projects that indirectly or directly provide an aggregated country-level assessment of the conditions and (or) results of innovation activities. It is shown that the approaches of indexes developers to determine the innovation climate often have no theoretical justification, and only some of the projects are characterized by publicly verifiable methodology, sustainability of assessments and transparency of initial data. The Global Innovation Index, which satisfies most of the formulated criteria, stands out in this row. Based on the Global Innovation Index example, the empirical part of the article uses its longitudinal data for 2017-2021 to identify strengths and weaknesses of the national innovation system of Russia, taking into account benchmarking of development dynamics across a wide range of countries covered by the harmonized observation. The obtained results reflect the analytical potential of international innovation rankings, as well as allow identifying factors which may contribute to or hinder the achievement of the global innovation leadership and formulating policy recommendations.

全球综合指数能告诉我们俄罗斯的创新环境吗

本文介绍了评估创新商业环境的方法。综合指数被认为是综合监测各种外部环境因素的主要工具，这些因素决定了商业环境对创新的有利程度。本文讨论了利用国际排名分析创新环境的机遇和局限性;并制定有针对性地利用这类项目的主要要求，分析国家创新体系，完善国家对创新的监管。本文确定并分析了16个国际项目，这些项目间接或直接地提供了对创新活动的条件和(或)结果的综合国家一级评估。研究表明，指标制定者确定创新气候的方法往往缺乏理论依据，只有部分项目具有可公开验证的方法、评估的可持续性和初始数据的透明度。全球创新指数满足了大部分制定的标准，在这一排中脱颖而出。本文的实证部分以全球创新指数为例，利用其2017-2021年的纵向数据来识别俄罗斯国家创新体系的优势和劣势，同时考虑到协调观察所涵盖的广泛国家的发展动态基准。所得结果反映了国际创新排名的分析潜力，并允许识别可能有助于或阻碍实现全球创新领先地位的因素，并制定政策建议。
