Models and Types of the Russian Federation Regional Policy for Import Substitution and Export Support

Abstract

Abstract The subject of the research is the regional industrial policy of import substitution and export support in constituent entities of the Russia. The hypothesis of the research is as follows: poor performance of the regional industrial policy implementation in 2014-2018 in the Russia is associated with the parallel implementation of the two policies types: import substitution and export support. The goal of the research is to develop theoretical and methodological approaches to the implementation of the regional industrial policy of import substitution and export support. To achieve the goal, the following methods were used: the world economic literature and the best foreign practices analysis, comparative and historical analysis of the legislation of the Russia, correlation analysis of import substitution policy results and export support results in constituent entities of the Russia. As a result of the study, the models and types of regional industrial policy of import substitution and export support were classified, and the types of export-oriented import substitution policy were introduced. As a result of approbation of the scientific results, gaps between the declared and implemented models and types of industrial policy in the regions of Russia were revealed. The conclusion was drawn about the imperfection of the strategic management system of the industrial policy in the constituent entities of the Russia, and recommendations for such system optimization were given. The results obtained may be used by executive authorities of the Russia constituent entities in the development of regional state programs in the field of industrial policy.
