Abstract

The paper describes the results of quantitative analysis of institutional conditions in Russian federal districts. The research methodology relies on a set of indicators applied to evaluate the cultural, legal, business, innovation, and investment-related aspects of institutional environment. The methodological framework also includes a system of criteria (spatial and temporal), which is used to study the indicators and calculate their mean values, dynamic indicators and variability. The parameters were normalized to allow for a more accurate comparison of Russian regions. The findings are presented in the form of tables and a cluster dendrogram, which shows the distribution of Russian federal districts according to different characteristics of their institutional environment. Russian federal districts can be roughly divided into two groups: those with more or less balanced institutional conditions and those with anomalously high or low indicator values. It was found that in some regional socio-economic systems the institutional conditions were favourable for innovation and development although not all the constituent territories enjoyed equal access to these resources, which is supported by the evidence — the regional variability level was high in the corresponding indicators. The methodology and results may be used by research organizations in their analytical work; by education institutions for student training in the sphere of mass data processing; and by the relevant departments of regional and local administrations to design, adjust, and monitor strategic programs for socio-economic development. The proposed methodology, including the set of indicators used, can be adjusted and perfected for other research objectives.
