Research of intellectual potential of Russian regions and assessment of their resilence

The implementation of the modernization agenda requires an increase in competencies and the intellectualization of the economy in conditions of increasing uncertainty in the management situation and systemic risks. The purpose of our research was to analyze the spatial distribution of the intellectual potential of Russian regions and their resilience. At the heart of resilience we consider the following competencies: the ability to train personnel of the highest scientific qualifications (HSQ) and to create and promote innovations. The study of the structure of relations in the educational and innovative sphere was carried out using factor analysis. It was aimed at studying the patterns of changes in the dispersion of economic indicators and assessing the dimension of variables by analyzing correlation matrices and identifying latent factors. The differentiation of regions according to the degree of residency of social systems is presented too. It is based on the balance of the influence of latent factors. It was concluded that it is necessary to pay attention to the development of national scientific schools (that train personnel of HSQ) and to stimulate the development of the entire system of knowledge reproduction, not only in the center, but also in the periphery. Moreover, it is important to coordinate the efforts of all interacting players and systematically approach the existing institutional matrix. This matrix is a system of strategic regulators of the subject of the Russian Federation (strategy, territorial planning scheme, state programs, etc.) in a single portfolio “strategy→ state programs→ budget”.
