ABSTRACT

It is proposed a research program related to studying of economic development of regions and country as a whole. It is suggested to build econometric models of influence of factors which are able to affect indicators characterizing the economic development. For this purpose it is proposed to use cross-sectional data of the Federal State Statistics Service of Russia by region .On the basis of obtained models it is possible to get partial regression equations. From these equations it has been obtained equations for partial coefficients of influence of studied factors by region. A use of described techniques has allowed estimate an influence of capital-labor ratio, human capital, new technologies and private property institution on labor efficiency in Russia. A higher education expansion influence on salary level in Russia has been estimated. Estimates of private property expansion influence on labor efficiency in the regions of Russia have been obtained. Using these estimates it is possible to accomplish a costeffectiveness analysis related to management of factors affecting the economic development of country regions.

KEYWORDS

econometric models, cross data, partial regression, elasticity coefficients by region

Исследованию экономического развития роста России посвящено огромное количество работ. Наряду с большим количеством работ, внесших существенный вклад в оценку и осмысление факторов экономического роста и развития страны, много работ в этой области построено без учета требований методологии экономической науки и демонстрирует «методофобию», которая в той или иной степени присуща многим экономистам во всем мире, как отмечает Марк Блауг [1]. Благодаря этому множество работ посвящено представлению ничем не подтвержденных теорий, а также предписаниям того, что должно быть и относится к «нормативной» экономике, которая не является наукой [2, 3].

Методология экономической науки предполагает понимание того, что наука состоит в наблюдении фактов, которые служат основой для выдвижения гипотез, но не теорий [1–3]. Гипотезы должны быть опровержимы, они могут претендовать на роль теорий только после того, как будут подтверждены практикой [1–3]. Гипотезы для их проверки на фактах должны быть представлены моделями, а результаты моделирования могли бы оцениваться эконометрическими методами [1,2]. Методология экономической науки предполагает и понимание того, что изучается человеческое поведение — реальность, которая носит двойственный материально-идеальный характер [2].

Использование моделей, даже самых современных, разумеется, не может быть гарантией создания теории, подтвержденной фактами, позволяющей достоверно предсказывать будущее. Эта проблема постоянно дискутируется экономистами [4–8]. Однако если можно выдвинуть непротиворечивые гипотезы, которые могут быть представлены моделями, и существует возможность проверить их на фактах, необходимо реализовать программу таких исследований, поскольку их результаты вносят вклад в позитивную экономическую науку и могут служить надежной основой для формирования экономической политики.
