Peculiarities of Applying the Public–private Partnership Technique in Exploration of Natural Resources

The paper examines the ways of how to apply the public–private partnership technique (PPP) in exploration of Siberian natural resources. We summarize the successful PPP projects carried out in populated regions in Russia and analyze possibilities to expand the method in order to create non-productive and infrastructural objects in mineral resources sector. The article shows main risks arising while exploring natural resources using the PPP technique. We conclude that it is necessary to preserve the uniqueness principle for a project in the sphere of mineral resources exploration, as well as the uniqueness principle when drafting the PPP documents. It is shown that due to violation of the basic PPP principles (such as competitiveness when choosing a partner, transparency in project implementation, accessibility of information on whether project implementation is efficient), it is impossible to improve the efficiency of government expenditure in mineral resources sector

Disparities in the Resource Economies of a Federative Type

The paper analyses how some experts assess the Russian economy considered as a resource economy, and how institutions of a resource economy influence the unequal efficiency of regional innovation processes. We show what the administrations of the RF subjects could do both for localization of development effects in the resource sector and attraction of investments from the stock market in the context of “a manually managed economy”, and what key tools they have to apply to perform a direct control and carry out negotiations.
