Abstract
The article proposes, when forming innovative ratings of Russian regions, to proceed from the following basic requirement: the rating should reflect the effectiveness of efforts to accelerate economic growth by improving technologies, methods of management and human capital. It is shown that the rating of innovative regions of Russia Associations of Innovative Regions of Russia (AIRR) is a significant factor in the regression describing the rates of economic growth of regions, but its structure is not optimal. Of the four sub-indices of the rating of innovative regions of Russia AIRR, only two are significant, and the optimal combination is not their sum, as in the original formula, but the quotient, which characterizes the cost-effectiveness of innovative activities. The paper discusses the feasibility of using regression analysis in the formation of innovative ratings. From a practical point of view, the results obtained make it possible to form an additional source of information support for the assessment by federal and regional authorities of various options for projects to accelerate economic growth through innovative activity. The proposed methodology based on the use of econometric analysis can be applied to other ratings. This approach will improve the quality of ratings as tools for making economic decisions.
