ASSESSMENT OF CLUSTER POLICY PERSPECTIVES IN THE REGIONS OF RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Creation of clusters and the development of the system of state support of entrepreneurship in agricultural-industrial complex require the selection of prospective territories with necessary resources for such type of cooperation, where it can prove its effectiveness. The analysis of economic theory and international experience in clusters’ creation showed the important role of the state support of agricultural-industrial business. Two models of the state policy of clusters’ creation can be specified. The first one is liberal policy, based on the market approach to the clusters’ creation. The state-driven approach is based on the leading role of state in clusters’ creation process. The most characteristic feature for the regions of Russian Federation is the combination of these two models. This combination provides both development of the local entrepreneurial activity and the achievement of the state’s strategic interests in the sphere of regions’ development. The selection of territories, perspective for the creation of agro-industrial clusters, is based on the calculation of location quotients, labour resources and the analysis of changes in employment levels. Matrix methods are also used to assess the potential of cluster-development programs in the context of regions and spheres of economic activity. Using the data of the State Statistical Agency and analytical k-means algorithm of Deductor sof t ware, the region s with sim i lar char acter istics were revealed. A s a par ameter for grouping, the location quotients of agricultural sector and processing industry were used together with employment level and its dynamics. The Central Federal District (CFD) was used to demonstrate the method. Such an approach allowed highlighting groups of regions within the CFD, which have the most favourable conditions for cluster creation thus helping to decrease uncertainty in cluster development programs in the regions of Russian Federation.
