The scientific novelty of the work lies is the methodology for determining the flexibility of innovative component of the manufacturing industry in the region. The relevance of the research is determined by the need for a paradigm shift to the analysis of horizontal integration of regions, including in terms of innovation. Such integration will create prerequisites for an active flow of knowledge and the spread of innovations. The main properties of the territorial innovation system are formulated, including openness, innovation orientation, structural flexibility, and internal connectivity. The requirements for the functions and regional parameters in such a system are justified, and the advantages of large regions-subjects of the Russian Federation as innovative cores are emphasized.The main research methods, in addition to structural and spatial analysis and synthesis, were the calculation of structural coefficients in the economy and scientific and applied sphere for the Volga-Ural macro-region (Orenburg, Penza, Saratov, Samara and Ulyanovsk regions and the Republic of Bashkortostan). In particular, we use the Ryabtsev index, the coefficient of specialization (per capita production), and the coefficient of the use of advanced production technologies. The article analyzes structural shifts in innovative production in the manufacturing industries of these regions in the period 2010– 2019. This tool allows us to study the degree of manufacturing flexibility of the RF subjects of the Volga-Ural macro-region and the dynamics of their innovative development (ascending or descending) as well as the degree of its co-directionality.The analysis shows heterogeneity of the macro-region in economic and innovative terms. The regions that differ most from others in the structure of the innovation industry are identified (Bashkortostan and the Orenburg region). It is shown that the most positive dynamics is typical of Bashkortostan whereas a number of other regions face innovation degradation. The article considers the prospects of Ulyanovsk and Samara regions as generators of knowledge and innovation in the macro-region.The results of the study can be used in business (identifying the region with the most flexible economic structure as an innovative attractive one) and in state spatial planning (determining the composition of macro-regions). Such research is relevant for any macro-regions in the country.","PeriodicalId":156080,"journal":{"name":"World of Economics and Management","volume":"546 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129044823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research focuses on regional and international monetary relations and is aimed at creating hedging mechanisms of financial risks and decreasing volatility of exchange rates to stabilize both balance of trade and current-account balance. The paper investigates the approaches to diversify currency risks of the countries subject to various sanctions and accompanied by the COVID-19 crisis by means of an increasing use of national currencies in cross-border transactions within the regions. The objective of the research is to develop recommendations for Asian and Russian fiscal and monetary policy authorities and central banks in the form of analytical materials that would systemize the operations of the national currencies’ offshore markets. The practical significance of the paper is the opportunities provided by an increasing use of the leading Asian and Russian currencies to incentivize the bypass channels of incoming capital, evading international sanctions and overcoming the COVID-19 crisis. The theoretical relevance of the study is to enrich the toolkit of offshore national forwards for stabilizing exchange rate policy in the context of the COVID-19 crisis. The findings and conclusions bring new insights into the role of offshore markets which allow the sanctioned countries to solve their current problems and overcome the COVID-19 crisis based on the growing pluralism of the world monetary system.","PeriodicalId":156080,"journal":{"name":"World of Economics and Management","volume":"605 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131917268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While little research has been done on the relationship between health capital, health care costs and economic growth, there is no generally accepted model in economic theory supported by empirical tests for individual countries and regions that would explain the relationship between these variables. This study aims to address this gap and quantifying the impact of health capital and health care costs on the regional economic growth in 2013–2018 within the economic growth model with endogenous technological progress. The authors constructed two specifications of the Arellano-Bond model for the dependent variable GRP per capita growth rate. The simulation results have made it possible to conclude that the accumulation of health capital leads to increased economic growth in the Russian regions. Simultaneously, an increase in government spending on health care at a fixed level of health capital did not result in an increase in GRP per capita growth rate in 2013–2018, which a number of factors can explain, i.e. general focus of public health expenditure on maintaining a favorable epidemiological situation and infrastructure of industries not directly related to individual health as well as possible insufficient level of human capital accumulation in the regions. Further research will focus on assessing the impact of health capital and health care costs in an extended model to include the level of human capital.","PeriodicalId":156080,"journal":{"name":"World of Economics and Management","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124544031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike spillovers measuring financial R&D flows, knowledge spillover measures structural similarities presented in patents, articles and other quantized units. Being the results of the reactions on the emergence of technological tasks and absorbing new technologies themselves, patents reflect real industrial picture of distribution of new technologies in any particular area. Implementation of selforganizing neural maps unveiled strong self-organized structural patterns distributed across the Russian Federation which were undetectable by means of conventional spatial econometric methods. Furthermore, neural maps exposed serious drawbacks of the Russian knowledge flow system, which is a drastic lack of flow in several high tech areas such as biotechnology. Self-organization indicator can be applied for evaluation of Megascience projects or other programs on both regional and federal levels. The structure of regional technologies based on 24 technological areas is studied and mapped on neural model, thereby it has been hypothesized that self-organization has an effect on qualitative processes of technological development. The study presents validation model of this hypothesis based on Kohonen’s self-organizing maps. Enhancement of this model on the further spatial studies is shown. Knowledge self-organization variable is developed to indicate technology integration and emergence.

Today, the issues of integrated assessment of NGOs resources and identification of institutional barriers to development seems rather relevant. The article studies these aspects using activity-structural approach based on peer review results (N = 46). The subject of peer review is represented by resources that form the potential of organization’s development in achieving institutional purposes. The interviews of the experts – the heads of non-profit sociallyoriented public organizations from seven municipalities of Kuzbass – were analyzed through the use of interpretive method. As a result, it has been revealed that being financially and materially unsecured and, at the same time, suffering from shortage of professional managers with motivation for public good and the market, the majority of NGOs don’t have significant potential for social development of singleindustry towns in Kuzbass region. Thus, financial, material, personnel, and communication resources are insufficient to ensure high-quality social services to various categories of the population. Interaction with local authorities, businesses, and non-profit organizations has not been institutionalized in the system of social partnership. Institutional obstacles that have a negative impact on the development of the non-profit sector have been identified. The result of the expert survey was specification of urgent support areas for non-profit organizations as well as the development of practical solutions for effective implementation of support measures at municipal levels.","PeriodicalId":156080,"journal":{"name":"World of Economics and Management","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114852889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To do this, we compare the results of the activities of the Russian mutual funds of real estate with analogues existing in the United States (REITs). We show that such mutual funds of real estate take an important place in the Russian financial system. But the average annual profitability of the closed-end investment fund of real estate in Russia was 6.14 % during 2013–2017, which did not exceed inflation (7.73 %) and the yield on bank deposits (7.86 %). The USA’s REITs profitability over the same period was 9.9 %, which is several times higher than inflation (1.32 %) and deposit profitability (0.6 %), which explains the popularity of this collective investment instrument among the population in the United States. The assets of the mutual funds of real estate in Russia are many times less than the analogues in the USA. The advantage of REITs is that their shares are freely traded on the stock exchange. For the purchase or sale of shares of the closed-end investment fund of real estate, you need to catch the moment of the beginning of the formation or termination of the fund's activity, respectively, and shares are rarely circulating on the exchange. For the period 2015–2017 inflation in Russia drops significantly, reaching 2.51 % in 2017. Together with it, the rates on deposits gradually decrease. If this trend continues, investment in the closed-end investment fund of real estate will become more attractive.

Application of the approach is demonstrated on a group of promising local objects in Paleozoic deposits located in the South of Western Siberia. The conditions for effective development of the objects under consideration are obtained, the probability of their achievement is estimated, and a list of recommendations on the order of search drilling is formulated.
