Analysis of the impact of innovative technologies on the sustainability of regional economic systems
Abstract. The work is based on the assumption that innovative development is inextricably linked to the development of regional economic systems, which is expressed in terms of the subjects of the federation by a number of statistical indicators, among which the most important is the GRP expressed per capita, as well as its dynamics, since innovative development is not a static phenomenon and may not lead to immediate results in this year. It would be reasonable to evaluate not only the actual value of GRP in statics, but also its accumulated change over a long period. However, despite the apparent logic of this hypothesis, it has found only partial confirmation. Regression analysis of regional indicators revealed a correlation only between unemployment rates and the innovative development of organizations in the subjects of the federation, as well as the dependence of socio-economic development indicators on the use of advanced production technologies. We attribute this to a large number of factors affecting economic performance and the fact that innovative development among them is far from decisive. However, the presence of more innovatively developed enterprises is obviously a competitive advantage of regional economic systems, which is reflected in higher quality indicators of regression models related to the impact of innovations on the unemployment rate.

Highlights:
- innovative development is not only an end in itself of public-private planning, but should serve the goals of economic growth and well-being, which is reflected in individual socio-economic indicators and their correlation with innovations in the economy;
- the most important characteristics of innovative development are innovative expenditures, which lead to an increase in the number of advanced production technologies used, the effect of them in the form of innovative products, and, of course, innovative people, without whom scientific and technological progress is unthinkable;
- we assume the existence of a correlation between the parameters of innovative activity, its result in the form of innovative products, and the number of personnel engaged in innovative research activities.
