Abstract

The most powerful potential of Russia's natural resources is only partially realized, and determining the reasons for the insufficient efficiency of its use is a current research topic. The exploitation of mineral resources that bring mining rent (primarily oil and gas) gives rise to the so-called “paradox of plenty” (PP), which in some cases manifests itself as a significant slowdown in economic development. The purpose of the article is to clarify the signs, degree and forms of PP manifestation and related problems (“resource curse”, “oil curse”, etc.) in the Russian economy. Since the causes of these phenomena are usually associated with rent extraction and peculiarities of the institutional structure of the economy, the works of leading economists who support the theories of “rent-oriented behavior” and the role of public institutions in the process of the PP emergence were critically analyzed. To determine the signs and degree of PP manifestation and related problems, an analysis of determining the shares of oil and gas in the structure of exports, revenues from their sale in the federal budget, and oil and gas products in the structure of GDP, was made. It is concluded that there are no sufficient grounds for ascertaining clear signs of a “rent-oriented” Russian economy and a “resource curse”; important counteracting factors that refute the unambiguous conclusions about the high degree of PP impact on the Russian economy were identified. The author's interpretation of the role of public institutions, the factors of formation and forms of PP manifestation, the specifics of differential mining rent and its role in the formation of PP are proposed; options for solving problems generated by PP – directions for improving the tax system in the field of oil and gas, etc.; substantiation of the need to develop a strategic state program for diversifying the sectoral structure of the Russian economy; directions for adjusting economic policy in the field of oil and gas industry development, etc.

采矿租金对自然潜力利用效率的影响:充裕悖论及其俄罗斯特点
俄罗斯自然资源最强大的潜力只得到了部分实现,确定其利用效率不足的原因是当前的研究课题。矿产资源的开采带来了采矿租金(主要是石油和天然气),导致了所谓的“充足悖论”(PP),在某些情况下,这表现为经济发展的显著放缓。本文旨在阐明俄罗斯经济中PP表现的迹象、程度和形式以及相关问题(“资源诅咒”、“石油诅咒”等)。由于这些现象的原因通常与租金提取和经济制度结构的特殊性有关,因此对支持“租金导向行为”理论的主要经济学家的著作和公共机构在PP出现过程中的作用进行了批判性分析。为了确定PP表现的迹象和程度以及相关问题,分析了确定石油和天然气在出口结构中的份额,其销售收入在联邦预算中的份额以及石油和天然气产品在GDP结构中的份额。结论是,没有足够的理由确定“租金导向”的俄罗斯经济和“资源诅咒”的明显迹象;确定了重要的抵消因素,反驳了关于PP对俄罗斯经济的高度影响的明确结论。对公共机构的作用、ppp的形成因素和表现形式、差异矿租的具体特征及其在ppp形成中的作用进行了解读;解决PP产生的问题的方案-改善石油和天然气领域税收制度的方向等;确认有必要制定国家战略计划,使俄罗斯经济部门结构多样化;在油气产业发展等领域的经济政策调整方向。
