Abstract

There are empirical studies carried out on both national and regional levels, dealing with regulation in Russian forest complex. The present paper studies the results of evaluations of effects from these regulative actions. The author proposes to single out the recipients of those effects in the regional forest complex: the state on federal and regional levels, forest companies and employees, which allows determining the agents that receive benefits or suffer losses, which affects the results of regulative actions. This approach was tested on the evaluation of regulative actions on the development of wood processing industry in the Far Eastern forest complex. For each group of recipients, a set of indicators was developed. These indicators allowed to reflect the effects of regulations. Their dynamics was later analyzed in the framework of realization of strategic tasks of development of wood processing industry in the region. The state was affected differently on regional and federal levels: the increase of taxes in the region and no benefit for the federal budget. The forest companies increased the volumes of product and productivity. At the same time, the number of companies decreased, due to the fact that the state support was mostly directed at larger companies. There was increase in employee numbers and the level of wages. The study also shows that the skewed state support of the wood processing industry led to the imbalance between logging industry and wood processing industry. This is especially important for the Far Eastern Federal District where logging despite limiting customs policies remains the leading source of income in forest complex and whose development trends radically differ from those in wood processing. The conclusion is that the application of regulation tools has to take into account every sub-industry of the forest complex
