Economic Development Incentive Strategies in the National Economy

The paper offers a concept of how the Russian economic space could be structuralized on the base of building contrast clusters of the national economic agents. We describe the major drivers of economic activity in clusters and also present the procedures of how to arrange an estimator of driver matrix for clusters and techniques to arrange the consolidated indices of drivers which integrate partial estimates of their activities in different clusters as well as consolidated indices of drivers which integrate partial estimates of different drivers. We offer and assess by consolidated indices the theoretical incentive strategies for economic activity (strategy of public paternalism, market romanticism, pan-regionalism, and perfect universalism). The variants of such strategies are presented to assess the impacts of echeloned incentives towards economic activity. The variant of the technique is applied to analyze the investment activity in RF regions. Our analysis of investment processes made by such techniques shows that the concepts of ‘pure market’– a lack of the governmental intervention and effective regional competences – dominate in Russia
