This article considers the innovative component
of the economies of Sweden, Finland,
and the Noreth-western federal district
(NWFD) of the Russian Federation. The authors
present the results of a comparative
analysis of research and technological potential
of the regions and their administrativeterritorial
units in terms of innovative activity
development. For the first time, the index of
integral assessment of research and technological
potential of the NWFD has been calculated
in comparison to Sweden and Finland.
The NWFD is proved to lag behind Sweden
and Finland in terms of innovative development
indices; however, the NWFD shows an
increase in such indices in catches up in terms
of individual indices (mobile communication
density and Internet access availability). The
authors offer sketch maps showing similarities
in the character of territorial differentiation of
innovative processes in the NEFD, Sweden,
and Finland (which corresponds to the centreperiphery
model).... view less
