Abstract

ABSTRACT In this paper we use an institutional approach and apply a regional perspective to explore how market potential, formal institutions, taxes, access to finance, regional policy instruments, and digitalization have affected small business activity in 83 Russian regions during 2008–2018. We use various regional data sources and official statistics to study the effects of regional business environments on entrepreneurship. Our results suggest that Russia’s business environment, including policy measures in taxation, is important in explaining small business activity, however digital transformation and the role of market potential can be better controlled by entrepreneurs in terms of what skills to learn and where to locate their businesses. In addition, we discuss the effect of exogenous shocks and changes in the business environment, along with dynamics, challenges, and perspectives of entrepreneurship in Russia.

俄罗斯的小企业：机构、市场潜力、税收和数字化

摘要在本文中，我们使用制度方法并应用区域视角来探讨2008-2018年期间，市场潜力、正规机构、税收、融资渠道、区域政策工具和数字化如何影响俄罗斯83个地区的小企业活动。我们使用各种区域数据来源和官方统计数据来研究区域商业环境对创业的影响。我们的研究结果表明，俄罗斯的商业环境，包括税收方面的政策措施，在解释小企业活动方面很重要，但企业家可以更好地控制数字化转型和市场潜力的作用，学习什么技能，将企业定位在哪里。此外，我们还讨论了外部冲击和商业环境变化的影响，以及俄罗斯创业的动态、挑战和前景。

期刊介绍： Post-Communist Economies publishes key research and policy articles in the analysis of post-communist economies. The basic transformation in the past two decades through stabilisation, liberalisation and privatisation has been completed in virtually all of the former communist countries, but despite the dramatic changes that have taken place, the post-communist economies still form a clearly identifiable group, distinguished by the impact of the years of communist rule. Post-communist economies still present distinctive problems that make them a particular focus of research.
