Practical implementation of Data Envelopment Analysis technology to assess the innovative sustainability of resourcetype regions

摘要

The article is devoted to the modification of the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method to conduct a comparative assessment of the innovative sustainability of resource-type regions. The theoretical basis for the study was the results of the analysis of accumulated foreign experience and current Russian practice on the assessment of sustainable innovative development at the federal and regional levels. Based on the approaches studied, taking into account the identified advantages and disadvantages, the authors proposed a modification of the DEA method, which allows to evaluate the effectiveness of innovative development of regions from a position of sustainability, with subsequent interpretation of the assessment results and identification of factors that have a negative impact. The results of the study can be used by regional and federal government bodies to monitor risks and threats in the innovation sphere of the regions of the Russian Federation, as well as to adjust existing regulatory, strategic documents and improve mechanisms to stimulate innovation in resource-type regions.
