Introduction. In the modern world, the problem of innovative development of the regions is particularly urgent. Regional economic entities now need to spend more and more efforts to carry out scientific activities, conduct research and development in order to be competitive and confidently cope with the instability of the economic and political situation in the country.

The importance of the study is due to the need to develop innovative and investment activities in all economic entities of the Russian Federation, to create a favorable innovation and investment climate, to increase the competitiveness of regional economic entities and their attractiveness for both Russian and foreign investors.

The subject of research in this article are the economic entities of the Northwestern Federal District, one of the most developed and attractive regions in terms of innovation. Economic entities of the region are not chosen by chance, since statistical information on them will be regarded in this work as a set of innovative activities of enterprises operating in that territory.

Purpose of the study. The purpose of this work is to assess the innovative potential of the economic entities in the Northwestern Federal District and to build a forecast of their innovative activity for the coming years, as well as to develop recommendations for improving the efficiency of innovation and investment activities of the entire Northwestern Federal District.

To achieve this goal, it is necessary to carry out an analysis of innovation and investment activities of the region as a whole, based on the chosen methodology, to assess its development potential on the basis of an analysis of the activities of economic entities in the region and to build a forecast of the volume of innovative goods, works and services for the coming years.

Speaking about industrial manufacturers, in particular, it should be noted that they are primarily focused on long-term, sustainable development of their enterprises, on the growth of production volumes based on innovations, on increasing their investments in R&D [7,

14]. Unfortunately, it should be noted that in 2014 the share of organizations in the regions under investigation implementing technological, organizational, marketing innovations declined compared to the period of 2011—2013. In 2011, 10.4 % of enterprises carried out innovative activities, while in 2014 only 9.4 % did so. At the same time, innovations in R&D are growing from year to year: 29.8 % of innovative enterprises made investments specifically in research and development in 2011, while in 2014 they amounted to 33.3 % [3]. Since 2015, the process has slowed down due to the next wave of crisis. The sanctions imposed by the West have also had their negative effect.

The Northwestern Federal District includes 10 federal subjects: the Republic of Komi, the Republic of Karelia, Arkhangelsk, Vologda, Kaliningrad, Leningrad, Murmansk, Novgorod, Pskov regions and the city of St. Petersburg. Until 2012 the Northwestern Federal District increased the number of advanced production technologies in general, but almost all of them (more than 76 %) were created only in one entity, the city of St. Petersburg [15]. In recent years, there has been a trend towards slower growth in investment in capital assets. More than 37 % of the region's investments are concentrated in the same economic entity, St. Petersburg. Besides that, 15.28 % is concentrated in the Komi Republic and 13.2 % in the Leningrad Region. Actually, these subjects concentrate the greatest amount of investment [15]. In the Northwestern Federal District, attracted funds are the prevalent sources of investment financing. Only two subjects of the region: Pskov and Leningrad regions invest at their own expense. The unstable economic and political situation in the country had an impact on the inflow of foreign direct investment in the Northwestern Federal District, which was reflected in the negative balance of payments in the investment section [15].

According to statistical data, the greatest percentage of innovations is concentrated in technologies [15]. Most technological innovations are carried out in the production of electrical equipment, electronic and optical equipment (27 % in 2014), production of coke and petroleum products (23 %) and chemical production (21.4 %).

Research methodology. In order to evaluate the investment and innovation activity of the subjects of the studied region, various methods for evaluating the innovation activity of the subjects of the regions were analyzed, both devised by various authors and proposed by scientific centers and institutes. In particular, the methodology of the HSE, Financial University, AIIR, NISP, CRS «Northwestern», Erokhina [6], Pogodina [12], Bystritsky [4], Dubinin [5]. Each of the studied methods has both advantages and disadvantages in comparison with others. Some of the techniques analyze the factors that influence the development of innovative activity, others focus on the results.

As a result, from our point of view, the method of integrated rating analysis developed by Dubinin is the most appropriate one for evaluating the innovation activity of the region's subjects. The resulting indicator is «The volume of innovative goods, works and services», because it reflects the final result of innovation activities of enterprises, as well as the effectiveness of public policy. The main advantage of this method is that all key indicators that affect the innovative activity of functioning entities are considered in the analysis, and the influence of each indicator on innovation activity is taken into account. Through the study, we have decided to supplement this methodology with several other indicators that are relevant for the present time period:

— the costs of technical innovation;

— the share of the faculty in the total number of employed workers in the region;

— used advanced production technologies;

— use of the Internet at enterprises and organizations;

— the share of organizations engaged in research and development, for the region as a whole.

Results. As a result of the calculations, a correlation coefficient was obtained, which characterizes the degree of connection between the characteristic factors and the result factor (Tab. 2).

The next stage of the analysis is the grouping of indicators (Tab. 3) and the definition of an intermediate integral estimate. At the final stage of the analysis, a comprehensive assessment of the region's innovation activity (Tab. 4) is shown.

As it can be seen from the results of the study, St. Petersburg is the undoubted leader in terms of innovation activity: the value of the integral indicator is 0.8378, which exceeds the value of the indicator throughout the Northwestern Federal District. Quite good indicators also have been obtained in the Kaliningrad Oblast (0.7412). Murmansk and Vologda regions and the Republic of Komi have an average level of innovative activity. Novgorod and Pskov regions have the lowest indicators.

Further, the innovative potential of the region's subjects is directly assessed and the forecast is calculated for 10 years. To determine the innovative potential of the Northwestern Federal District, a methodology based on the calculation of an integrated indicator evaluating the innovation potential in terms of its formation can be used [10].

As a result of the calculations, it turned out that St. Petersburg has the highest value of the innovation capacity assessment indicator; in addition, for the entire study period it has been growing from 2.050 to 2.156 conventional units. The Vologda, Pskov and Arkhangelsk regions have the lowest estimates of the innovative potential. Despite the lowest value of the indicator, the Pskov Oblast showed a significant increase by 0.263 conventional units (Tab. 5)

1 Extremely low Less than 1.0 Vologda Oblast, Pskov Oblast, Arkhangelsk Oblast, Leningrad Oblast, Republic of Karelia, Novgorod Oblast

2 Low From 1.0 to 1.3 Republic of Komi, Kaliningrad Oblast, Murmansk Oblast

3 Average From 1.3 to 1.6 —

4 High More than 1.6 Saint Petersburg

Using the results obtained, it is possible to identify 4 groups of regions according to the level of innovative potential (Tab. 6): extremely low, low, medium and high. It is worth noting that most of the subjects of the Northwestern Federal District have a low level of innovative potential at the moment, which once again indicates the need to introduce incentive measures from the state.

To build a forecast, it is possible to use the regression analysis method (1):

y = -415163 - 0.068x1 - 0.081x2 - 0.973x4 -- 2194x5 + 7864x7 + 4696x8 - 3351884x9 +

+ 362876xn + 403225826x14 + 6.959x15 +

where y — the volume of innovative goods and services, million rubles;

x1 is the export of technology and technical services, mln;

x1 is the import of technology and technical services, mln;

x4 is the GRP per capita of the region, rubles;

x5 is the number of personal computers per 100 workers in the region, in units;

x8 are the R&D expenditures per 10 thousand workers in the region, mln;

x9 is the number of scientific organizations per 10,000 workers in the region;

x11 is the number of created objects of intellectual property per 10,000 workers in the region's economy;.

x14 is the share of organizations engaged in research and development in the total number of enterprises in the region;

x15 are the advanced production technologies used, units;

x18 are the costs for technological innovation, mln;

e is the random deviation. To fulfill the forecast, 3 development options were calculated: with the maintenance of current trends (Tab. 7), with the improvement of the values of factors (Tab. 8), with a decrease in the values of factors (Tab. 9). Provided that the same growth rates are maintained over the next ten years, we obtain the following values for the volume of innovative goods, works and services.

Option 1. Maintaining current trends in the development of the Northwestern Federal District

Option 2. Positive growth of independent factors In the second case, where the growth of all indicators included in the regression model was taken into account, the volume of innovative goods and services was systematically increasing from year to year at a much higher rate than in the first variant (Tab. 8)

In the third case, a pessimistic option was calculated, where the growth rates of all indicators were negative. It turned out that even a slight decrease in the parameters included in the linear regression equation leads to a significant decrease in the volume of innovative goods, works and services (Tab. 6).

2019 296788.2 2025 228753.7

2020 285299.9

Thus, the obtained linear model has a high degree of reliability and allows to predict the volume of innovative goods, works and services produced in the Northwestern Federal District with a minimum deviation. The considered variants of the forecast confirm the necessity of constant monitoring of the innovation situation in the region, since even a small decrease in the parameters leads to a significant decrease in the resultant factor.

Conclusions. Based on the results obtained, the following conclusions were drawn:

1. The Northwestern Federal District as a whole has a high rate of current innovation activity. However, the majority of economical entities (Pskov, Novgorod, Arkhangelsk regions and the Republic of Karelia) is characterized by a low level of innovative activity. The main innovative economic actors in the region are the city of St. Petersburg and the Kaliningrad Oblast. The method of assessment includes an analysis of various spheres of economic activity, which

allows to use the results of the analysis in the development of measures to stimulate innovation and investment activity in economic entities.

2. St. Petersburg has the greatest value of the innovation potential evaluation index, which can be explained not only by the high level of development in all spheres of the economy, but also by its favorable economic and geographical position. At the same time, many NWFD entities are characterized by a low level of innovative potential of subjects. Therefore, in order to stimulate innovative activity necessary in the subjects of the federation it is necessary to:

— improve the technological equipment of the economic entities (increase in investments in fixed assets);

— strengthen the financial and economic status of the subjects by attracting major investors and business angels; facilitate tax and customs privileges);

— improve the efficiency of information and communications technologies subjects, through the provision of subsidies for the development of ICT, as well as the formation of the state order for production and implementation of IT-technologies.

3. The forecast of innovative products, works and services produced in all subjects in the Northwestern Federal District in 2015—2025 has been made in this paper. The data show how strongly the resulting factor depends on the variables of the equation: a slight reduction in the growth rate of variables leads to a significant reduction in the volume of innovative products in the region.

In view of the above, it must be also mentioned that the measures of state stimulation of innovation activity can and should significantly improve the innovation and investment activities in the economic subjects of the federation, which ultimately has a positive effect on increasing the innovation potential of the entire Northwestern Federal District, and on increasing the volume of the much-needed innovative products.
