- Abstract:
- The chapter examines the systemic imbalances of Russia's national innovation system (NIS) in the context of ensuring technological sovereignty. Based on an analysis of time series data for 2000–2024 using cointegration analysis and vector autoregressions, it is established that the NIS operates asymmetrically: there is no statistically significant impact of the created infrastructure on the generation of intellectual property, nor is there feedback – patents do not stimulate the immediate creation of new institutions. The only sustainable driver of inventive activity is high-level human capital – researchers with advanced degrees. Expanding staff numbers is the main trigger for the bureaucratic growth in the number of legal entities in the R&D sector. The scientific novelty lies in the econometric substantiation of the concept of “institutional lag,” demonstrating the absence of cointegration between scientific outputs and infrastructure; quantitatively differentiating the determinant factors of the two NIS circuits (elite quality vs. physical labor volume); and showing the ineffectiveness of relative budget indicators for forecasting micro-shocks in the innovation process. The conclusion is drawn that a paradigm shift in governance is necessary: a transition from directive construction of research institutes to targeted support for degree-holding research teams and the creation of flexible legal mechanisms.
