Abstract

The significant role of knowledge in ensuring productivity, competitiveness and technological sovereignty places renewed emphasis on the concept of the knowledge economy. The purpose of the article is to develop a methodological approach to assessing the three components of the knowledge economy in the regions based on integral latent variables. The values of knowledge economy indicators obtained by the authors based on minimax normalization formed the basis of three integral latent variables for 85 Russian regions in 2022: knowledge workers, R&D, and innovativeness. To analyze the concentration of the knowledge economy, the Gini and Herfindahl-Hirschman coefficients were used. The findings about the uneven concentration of knowledge economy indicators in Russian regions were demonstrated by cartograms of integral latent variables. In conclusion, practical recommendations are presented for overcoming the technological gap by integrating resources related to the development of the innovation sphere and eliminating a number of barriers.
