Analysis of the economic security of regions taking into account the indicators of innovative development

The article considers some current scientific approaches to assessing regional economic security and notes the lack of an innovative component in them. However, innovative factors are necessary, since one of the main directions in the field of economic security is innovative development. The purpose of the research is to develop and test a modified methodological approach to the formation of indicators for assessing regional economic security, taking into account innovative factors. The authors generated extremely modified approach to assessing the economic security of the region, taking into account such principles as: task orientation, comprehensiveness, comparability, sufficiency, information security, applicability in practice. The authors developed an algorithm for studying the economic security of the region, formed a system for assessing the economic security of the region taking into account innovative factors, and calculated threshold values and evaluated a sample of regions according to the described methodology. As a result, it is concluded that the regions are diverse in terms of economic security and actually correspond to the conditional division in terms of socio-economic and innovative development. The most vulnerable for the majority of the subjects of the Russian Federation considered was the innovation component, the threshold value of which should have been determined in the stability zone, but most of the regions did not pass. Thus, it is necessary to study this topic in detail, namely, to assess the functioning of the regional innovation infrastructure and its impact on the economic security of the region due to the fact that the creation of conditions provided by its activities is one of the main strategic directions for strengthening the economic security not only of the region, but also of the Russian Federation as a whole.
