Developing the Regional Knowledge Economy Index: a Case of Russian Regions
Journal of the Knowledge Economy, 2019Co-Authors: Evgeny V. Popov, Dmitry M. KochetkovAbstract:The Knowledge Economy has come a long way before becoming one of the fundamental concepts in scientific and political discourse. The World Bank and the OECD analyze the level of development of the Knowledge Economy at the global level. However, the transformation of the Economy at the regional level is also very important, largely because of the general tendency towards regionalization. This issue is particularly acute for emerging and post-communist countries (including Russia), which are in the process of transition to a market Economy. Grounding on the World Bank’s Knowledge Economy Index indicators, the authors developed the Russian Regional Knowledge Economy Index (Russian RKEI). The authors allocated the leading and lagging groups of regions regarding the Knowledge Economy development as well as the fastest-growing regions. The authors identified critical success factors in the modernization of regional economic systems. Besides, the authors marked the negative trend in the development of the Knowledge Economy in more than half of Russian regions. On the one hand, this is due to the economic crisis and a reduction in investment; on the other hand, institutional problems continue to restrain economic development. The results can be used in further theoretical and applied studies for both Russia and other transition economies.

The Knowledge Economy: Key to sustainable development?
Structural Change and Economic Dynamics, 2019Co-Authors: Lukas Rezny, James Buchanan White, Petra MaresovaAbstract:Abstract A perfect storm of resource depletion and environmental degradation looms as the world’s biggest economies are plagued by low or even negative growth rates. The Knowledge Economy is often presented as a way of a radical societal transformation to achieve both higher and sustainable economic growth, and as a way out of the predicament of increasing resource scarcity and climate disruption. This paper explores the relationship between the Knowledge Economy index and consecutive economic growth rates along with various indicators of resource consumption to determine the relative success of this supposedly unique mode of economic development. Our findings show the failure of advanced Knowledge economies to grow in the post-2008 period. We have not found any evidence of higher resource efficiency of advanced Knowledge economies when their resource consumption is assessed using the material footprint. Through comparison of coal and oil consumption with changes in Knowledge Economy rankings from 1995 to 2012, we found no regular pattern of diminishing reliance on these increasingly scarce and expensive natural resources by successfully developing Knowledge economies.
