Economic Assessment of Federal Scientific Programs

Аннотация

An important aspect of ensuring national security is state regulation of industry through federal institutes. In view of the scale of the threats to Russia’s national security, the constraints on federal resources, and the critical state of industrial enterprises, it is important to review the strategy and tools of state regulation. In particular, a change in orientation is required, with a focus on novel and nontraditional organizational and economic programs and with cross-financing of defense and civilian projects. However, that is associated with changes not only in the procedures for assessing the effectiveness of such programs but also in the concept of effectiveness itself. Accordingly, it is necessary to deal with a set of concepts and characteristics of effectiveness and also to develop basic procedures for the assessment of effectiveness. That reduces to assessing the expected results of an innovative project and the effectiveness of its implementation. A method for generating such predictive estimates is proposed.
