Изучение распределения регионов России по уровню инновационной активности
The topic of investment activity of the regions not only does not lose its relevance over the last quarter of a century, but, on the contrary, becomes extremely important in the context of Russia's transition to digital technologies, which, in turn, needs significant financial injections into production and infrastructure. In this regard, the purpose of the study is to quantitatively measure and qualitatively interpret the differentiation of Russian regions in terms of the main indicators of investment activity. To achieve this goal, scientific methods such as tabular, graphical, descriptive statistics and the method of multidimensional groupings were used. The main results include the following: three stages of the development of investment activity in Russia have been identified - up to 1998, there is an increase, but the levels do not break through the 100% mark, then 1999-2008. growth and from 2009 to the present we have a decline (decrease) in investment; on the basis of cluster analysis, three groups of constituent entities of the Russian Federation are distinguished, which are characterized by different directions of investment and sources of investment. The results obtained will be useful to researchers, whose field of vision includes the issues of innovative activity of Russian regions and factors that have a significant impact on its variation. The direction of further research is seen in the allocation and quantitative measurement of the influence of socio-economic factors affecting investment activity in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
