Industrial Policy: Evolution of Scientific Approaches, Russian Specifics and the Impact on Enterprises' Competitiveness

The study aims at identifying types and specifics of Russia's industrial policy as well as its impact on competitiveness of the Russian enterprises. The paper presents the findings of terminological analysis and systematization of the types of the state industrial policy. The novelty of the study is that it attempts to reveal the effects of the industrial policy on the Russian enterprises. The author concludes that the state economic intervention increases competitiveness of businesses only if parameters of an enterprise correspond to objectives of an industrial policy. This statement directly contradicts the stereotype that industrial policy is always a kind of a protective shield for domestic business. Having analyzed the evolution of the scientific approaches to industrial policy the author arrives to the conclusion that currently the state's role in economic relations is strengthening significantly across the world. The policy of the state capitalism is also peculiar to the Russian economic system. Based on the comparison of the declared and the real industrial policy in Russia a number of discrepancies were discovered. Particularly, the declared proactive policy turns out to be the active one and is limited to the system of catch-up measures.

Introduction

n recent decades, the world market has witnessed a re-design of sectoral structure, which resulted in redistribution of existing resources and expansion of the resource base to support innovations in industry [14. P. 2]. This fact is due to both changing macroeconomic situation and altering rules of the game in markets. At this, institutional (rather than market) mechanism of coordination tends to increasingly determine the development of individual sectors and territories.

In such context, the discussion about the role of the state in maintaining sustainable competitive advantages for enterprises and sustaining economic growth in general is becoming more and more intense. With global competition mechanisms and methods getting more complex, the methods and approaches to governing national sectoral markets are getting more sophisticated as well.

It seems that the problem of selecting an industrial policy toolkit and its influence on o long-term competitiveness of businesses is a non-trivial scientific matter obviously requiring >r an effective solution ^

The main goal of the present study is to assess the state of the Russian industrial policy and _§ elaborate on its impact on the competiveness of domestic business. The goal implies fulfilling 2 the four key tasks: ©

1) to detail the theoretical foundation and types of industrial policy;

2) to study possible effects of the industrial policy on the Russian enterprises;

3) to examine scientific approaches to industrial policy and their evolution in economic practice worldwide;

4) to systematize directions and find out the common vector of the industrial policy in Russia.

Determinants and evolution of the content of industrial policy

Contradictory understanding of the necessity and ways of carrying out industrial policy dictates the need to detail the theoretical foundation of this concept. Terminological analysis demonstrates that depending on the research objectives, semantic emphasis can shift substantially [3], and the concept "industrial policy" (or sectoral policy) may be regarded as:

• sustaining economic growth by the state [9];

• developing measures aimed at enhancing competitiveness and expanding opportunities for domestic companies and industries as well as stimulating changes in the structure of the national economy [4. P. 6];

• the state's attempt to encourage the inflow of resources in particular sectors that it considers important for future economic growth [23];

• directing efforts to particular sectors, firms and improvement of business environment or improvement of the structure of economic activities by sectors, technologies to achieve such results that are considered by the state as efficient for economy as a whole [1; 19; 32; 38];

• a set of state measures on fostering or preventing certain structural shifts [33] and creation of unequal conditions for functioning of enterprises in different sectors (or for different enterprises in one sector) [5];

• a tool of ensuring political stability (balance and accountability of the main groups of interests) through redistribution of incomes in economy and control over the sources of rent [13].

Such dissimilar treatments of the concept "industrial policy" lead in practice to the differences in its content and tools. To understand the whole set of measures, which can be taken while adopting industrial policy, it is reasonable to explore all its possible classifications (table 1). Such typology will later allow determining the Russian specifics of industrial policy.

Adoption of industrial policy of this or that type anyway causes redistribution of production factors into priority economic sectors, what lessens chances for other sectors' development. This is the reason why the examples of pursuing mixed types of industrial policy are so rare. For the same reason, in practice it is impossible to achieve Pareto efficiency1 of industrial policy, instead, what can we speak about, is more likely to be target efficiency2 or result orientation. Industrial policy can be assessed in the following three directions:

1) performance monitoring;

2) cost-benefit evaluations;

3) impact evaluations (the impact on a market generally and its participants).

At this, while analyzing the results of industrial policy at macro-level it is necessary to take into account the possibility of the next effects:

1) substitution effect, when improvement of the situation in some economic spheres leads to or is the result of worsening situation in others;

2) creaming effect, when strong companies react to government support, which is not crucial for them [31];

1 A situation is Pareto efficient if it is not possible to make one better off without making another worse off.

2 Target efficiency is an indicator reflecting a degree of reaching the goals set by the subject exerting impact (in this case - the state).

5. Level of competition in industry Policy in relation to competing industries Regulation of the activities of the companies operating in competitive environment - Securing property rights. - Ensuring compliance with legal and financial requirements to corporate reporting. - Introducing competition and anti-trust regulation. - Eliminating market failures. - Guaranteeing safety of products and services for consumers [35]

6. Orientation Internally oriented Support of the domestic demand and import substitution due to the development of national production - Protectionist policy. - Maintaining a low rate of national currency. - Stimulating the production of goods to substitute foreign analogues

Export-oriented Promotion of the development of export industries, the production of which is competitive in international market - Establishing tax and customs privileges. - Providing loans on easy terms. - Keeping national currency weak. - Taking measures to create favourable conditions for the development of export-oriented and related industries. - Improving export infrastructure. - Simplifying customs regimes

Innovation-oriented Boost for innovation activities and introduction of new technologies, including resource-saving ones - Increasing the concertation of markets (in conditions of low concentration there are no incentives for innovations because of long payback period and risks)

7. Mechanism of influencing the market Vertical (traditional) Orientation towards particular (priority) sectors and complexes of industries and creation of redistributive, inclusive institutions (the term is from [17]) - Direct state subsidies or state investments into the development of priority sectors and industries. - Stimulating large businesses. - Creating mechanisms for redistributing rent in favour of the state

Horizontal (new) Creation of extractive institutions (the term is from [17]) targeted at general economic growth - Changing rules of the game in particular markets. - Creating "open access institutions" [8]. - Encouraging small and medium enterprise

8. Type of interference into market mechanisms [11] Authentic Restricting of the use of the property by its owner - Nationalization

Bilateral Forced sharing between the state and a market subject - Taxation

Trilateral Permitting (prohibiting) exchange between subjects - Licensing. - Monopolistic privileges

9. Benefits (rent) Process-focused The effect of the policy emerges in the process of its formation and implementation - Antitrust regulation. - Instruments of budgetary policy and disbursement of funds allocated from the budget. - Formation of the government procurement

Result-focused The effect is the immediate result of the policy - Improvement of national institutional environment. - Maintenance of safety of goods and services for consumers

3) the effect of deadweight losses, when industrial policy corresponds to the natural vector of economic development, what makes government expenditure senseless [29].

The main problem of carrying out industrial policy is poorly predictable results, especially at micro-level, because in real economy there are always many uncontrolled factors. This fact conditions the dual nature of the impact of government regulation on competitiveness of individual enterprises (Fig.). Basically, the cumulative effect of industrial policy on an enterprise can be interpreted using the next formula (1):

E = |Y Ep -Y E |x K , (1)

where E is cumulative effect of industrial policy on an individual enterprise;

Y Ep is a sum of positive effects resulting from industrial policy;

Y En is a sum of negative effects resulting from industrial policy.

K is adjustment coefficient, determining the degree of correspondence of an enterprise to the vector of industrial policy. The coefficient depends on legal and economic characteristics of an enterprise K1, level of dynamic capabilities of an enterprise K2 and possibilities of an enterprise to employ alternative strategies of development K3. Kc is determined applying the formula (2):

K = K1 x K2 x K3. (2)

Factors behind enterprise competitiveness as a result of industrial policy impact

Transformation of industrial policy: theoretical discussion and international practice

Adoption of industrial policy implies that the state interferes into functioning of economic system. However, economic theories in various periods suggested polar opposite viewpoints on the necessity of the state regulation of markets.

The ideas of A. Smith (1723-1790) about "invisible hand of the market" predetermined the formation of the classical economic theory. The basis and the subject field of this theory developed in the works of A. Marshall (1842-1924) and P. Samuelson (1915-2009), rest on the principles of free market trade and equilibrium between supply and demand. Industrial policy is considered to be unjustified interference of the state into economy that distorts market (price) mechanisms and hampers optimal distribution of resources. According to this viewpoint, the state through "artificial" management of the market is not able to identify real growth areas, that is why priorities assigned to sectors and industries by it will just decrease Pareto economic efficiency.

Yet such theoretical construction is rather abstract. Moreover, it is widely known that in practice there are no markets with perfect competition, whereas markets that formally should end in "fiasco" (the term is from [18]), keep on functioning. Economic reality periodically demonstrates market failures and long-term functioning of inefficient markets, what is impossible to explain within the frames of the classical economic analysis.

In the economic history, the Great Depression in the USA exemplifies one of the most notorious large-scale market "fiascoes", as a response to which the Keynesian economics was developed. Being the founder of the system of the state regulation of the economy, J. M. Keynes (1883-1946) suggested and quite successfully applied in practice concrete financial, fiscal and other instruments of general economic and industrial policy.

In the 1970s, both Keynesian economics and socialism1 faced fierce criticism from the representatives of the Austrian school, the most famous of whom were M. Rothbard (1926-1995) and F. Hayek (1899-1992). They regarded the state's interference into market relations exclusively as "intervention" [11. P. 18; 16. P. 130]. In F. Hayek's opinion, the market is a complex transfer mechanism, which allows making the best use of information. The state's actions distort market information signals, and thus reduce its efficiency [16].

Further development of economic theories concerning state regulation of market was reflected in the works of neoinstitutionalists. Institutional approach to understanding the essence of market does not only allow fixing the presence or absence of connections (exchanges) between market participants, but also explaining the nature and reasons behind these exchanges. Strictly speaking, markets can be called such only conditionally, because they function due to institutional, rather than market mechanisms of coordination. Even prices, which, according to neoclassical economists, are the results of the "invisible hand of the market", in many cases are regulated by formal and informal institutions [2]. Institutional regulation of markets is especially important for the transition economies [36].

Various authors are still expressing diverging views on the issue of market regulation (see, for instance [6. P. 104]). At the same time, economic history illustrates how important industrial policy is for developed [20] and developing [22] countries. For instance, a proactive industrial policy, which targeted priority industries and stimulated technology transfer, has significantly contributed to the rapid growth of the newly industrialized countries of the East Asia [38].

The new structural economics proposed by J. Lin [25-28] was how economic theory responded to the new reality. Within this approach based on the experience of the Asian countries, the state is believed to be capable of not only creating favourable basic conditions for business, but directly subsidizing individual sectors [37].

1 Both to a certain degree may be qualified as planned economies.

Along with the long-standing debates on the role of the state, the instruments and methods of industrial policy remain a highly contentious issue as well. The conception of the new, or horizontal, industrial policy developed in the works of D. Rodrik [34], suggests that the drawbacks of industrial policy are connected not with the fact of the state's interference, but with the way it is effected. And here the emphasis is shifted to the "failures of the state" rather than market failures. Basically, the new horizontal policy differs from the conventional conception in two aspects:

first, it is oriented towards the creation of general institutional conditions for economic activities rather than the support of individual sectors and/or companies; second, it relies on the country's competitive advantages.

The state may induce structural changes based on specific assets of the economy, which generate an advantage for some sectors competing in world markets. This is a fundamental distinction, because in the middle of the last century adherents of industrial policy often presumed that the state may build any needed structure of the economy through active stimulation of, for example, import substitution [5. P. 154-155].

Almost at once the new structural economics was confronted with opponents of the concept of state capitalism. A number of studies [24; 30; 39] point to a fact that in the BRICS markets the state assumes a more prominent role than in traditional market economy. Such active interference, frequently ending in micromanagement, as well as a dual role of the state as a market regulator and its participant, leads to that it stops guaranteeing compliance with the rules and becomes just another factor of instability. Moreover, excessive investment and relative abundance of resources created purposefully in state-backed companies reduces incentives for improving management efficiency in such companies and distorts the action of market mechanisms.

The table 2 summarizes the aforementioned and presents a systematization of the stages of industrial policy transformation in the world economic practice in the 20th and the early 21th centuries.

1 Washington Consensus is a set of liberal economic strategies, which in the late 1980s became a conceptual platform for opponents of the state's direct interference into economy and was widely used a theoretical basis for recommendations of international financial organizations involved into market reforms in most countries with transition economies [5. P. 155].

It can be noted that an obvious trend in developed countries' industrial policy is an increasing number of forms and methods of the state's interference into economy. Simultaneously, the emphasis is shifted from direct market regulation to "soft" stimulation measures of exerting impact and establishing favourable conditions based on extractive institutions.

Russian specifics of industrial policy

In Russia, as B. V. Kuznetsov and Yu. V. Simachev point to [5. P. 155], the debates about industrial policy have been traditionally fierce due to instability in both politics and economic policy, and predominantly rent-oriented behaviour of market participants.

It is important to understand (here we completely agree with Ya. P. Silin, Ye. G. Animitsa and N. V. Novikova [12. P. 17]) that Russia has always been characterized by the policy of catch-up modernization, when the state carries out an accelerated industrialization, relying on its own resources without large foreign investments.

According to Yu. Simachev [13], there can be identified five stages of the national industrial policy in Russia's recent economic history (table 3).

The relative failure of the liberal economic market reforms in Russia, which refused to pursue an active industrial policy in the late 21th century, phenomenal successes of the BRIC countries, first and foremost, of China, growing macroeconomic risks from Russia's dependence on raw materials, have all together triggered a wave of searching for efficient methods of state interference in the second half of the 2000s.

One of the principal tasks of industrial policy was to complete the formation of a full-fledged corporate sector in all segments of the economy and start establishing companies of a new type capable of competing with world leading producers [4. P. 7]. The main approach applied in this period was the creation of the state corporations and development institutions. State corporations were partly considered as a tool for consolidation of the state assets (and in some cases of renationalization of privately owned assets) in a spectrum of a strategically important sectors, and partly as a way to circumvent existing regulations limiting direct government participation in the financing of production activities of enterprises.

A new round of industrial policy was marked by the enactment of the Federal Law no. 488 "On industrial policy in the Russian Federation" on December 31, 2014. The articles 3 and 4 of the law set priorities, presented in table 4.

Table 3

20002003 Development of market institutions and structural reforms Soft regulation policy (types of taxes, prices of natural monopolies, exchange rate) Recovery growth, limited budgetary funds Individual approach.

The main tools suggested by the Federal Law no. 488 for implementation of industrial policy include:

• financial support in the form of loans, grants, equity contributions, leasing;

• subsidies on a competitive basis to fund research and development, engineering works, create and modernize industrial infrastructure with the use of the best available technologies as well as acquire new production capabilities;

• placement of tasks for various works within the government defence order;

• stimulation of innovation activities in economic entities with the state participation;

• boost for innovative products' demand through setting standards in government procurement.

The analysis of the correspondence between the goals of Russia's modern industrial policy and its particular types and tools shows that the vectors of its development are contradictory and divergent. Principally, the current stage of industrial policy is characterized by:

1) strengthening socioeconomic and political prerequisites and motives for its implementation;

Table 4

Types of industrial policy in Russia

Directions for industrial policy according to the Federal Law no. 488 Type of industrial policy (based on table 1)

1. Forming high-tech, competitive industry that will support the national economy transition from export-oriented, raw materials-based type of development to innovative type of development - Stimulating; - proactive; - total; - innovation-oriented; - result-focused

2. Ensuring national defence and security - Selective; - proactive

3. Ensuring employment - Stimulating; - passive; - process-focused; - vertical

4. Creating competitive conditions for activities in industry compared to the conditions for the same activities existing in the territories of foreign countries - Stimulating; - active; - total; - result-focused; - horizontal; - internally oriented

5. Increasing economic output with high added value and supporting export of such products - Export-oriented; - selective; - active; - process-focused

6. Supporting modernization in industry, particularly, of fixed assets; ensuring technological independence of the national economy - Innovation-oriented; - process-focused; - horizontal

2) latent character of its implementation, when declared priorities diverge from the real ones;

3) formal orientation towards introduction of proactive, preventive measures of regulation (design of the development strategies for industries and complexes of them) with the aim of a long-term benefit for the whole economy;

4) actual short-term orientation and inconsistency of the programs carried out accompanied by the absence of clear systems of control and efficiency assessment of the measures taken;

5) selectivity, which is expressed in prioritization and reallocation of resources, rights and control powers between sectors, presence of winners and losers;

6) principal orientation towards the support of the industries working for the domestic market through fueling domestic demand;

7) predominantly direct participation of the state in redistribution of rent, including through the tools of the state property consolidation, public-private partnership and rena-tionalization;

8) individual approach during interaction and a considerable superiority of traditional groups in lobbying their interests;

9) strong orientation of groups of interests towards receiving rent from the process of the policy implementation rather than from its results;

10) unfavourable conditions for pursuing both vertical and horizontal industrial policies because of the low quality of institutional environment; parallel implementation of the measures on improvement of the framework and sectoral conditions of operation1.

1 In developed countries, there was a gradual construction of the general institutional environment, and after that - of the individual elements of industrial policy.

At the same time, the adoption of the Federal Law no. 488 has led to some structural shifts concerning the general vector of the Russian economy development. Prior to that, the strategic goal was considered to be the need to form a postindustrial economy in Russia [15. P. 13].

By contrast, the law "On industrial policy" provided a powerful impetus to the economy reindustrialization, or the new industrialization, which is understood as a synchronized process of creation of new high-tech sectors of economy, efficient innovative renewal of its traditional sectors with concurrent, aligned, qualitative, and consistent changes between economic-technological and socio-institutional spheres [10. P. 46]. In his paper, O. S. Sukharev stresses that reindustrialization is an economic policy representing a wider set of measures than standard alternatives of industrial policy, aiming at the planned restoration (creation, change) of industrial and technological base of economic system [14. P. 9].

Yet new industrialization is frequently treated as drastic changes of the technological and production base of society, creation of new enterprises and economic sectors. A significantly lesser portion of attention is paid to modernization of traditional industries that form the economic foundation of industrial regions [15. P. 15]. We believe that primarily, reindustrializa-tion should concern old industrial regions, because they are "territories with high dependence on one or more specialized industries, inflexible institutional structure and often outdated production" [7. P. 8].

It seems reasonable that the greatest attention should be devoted to the policy affecting the state of traditional industries. This proposition can be justified by the following arguments:

1) such vector of development does not contradict the conception of the new structural economics, according to which while increasing an object's competitiveness it is necessary to improve strengths rather than minimize weaknesses;

2) exclusive focus on high-tech sector of economy will cause substantial regional differentiation in budget revenues;

3) high level of competition in traditional economic sectors opens up a possibility of inflow of capital into new, high-tech industries.

Conclusion

Terminological structuring of definitions, types, and mechanisms of industrial policy enables us to draw a number of important conclusions.

1. The state's interference into economy is a factor behind business competitiveness only if the field of activities, size, resources and a number of other parameters of an enterprise correspond to the objectives of industrial policy. This statement dissents from a stereotyped opinion that industrial policy is a kind of a protective shield for domestic business. Moreover, such approach does not aim to support the efficiency of market mechanisms, it is more likely to distort their action, what can result in failures of both the market and the state.

2. It can be stated that in Russia there is a dichotomy between the declared (proactive, horizontal, total) and the implemented (active, vertical, selective) industrial policies. This fact is explained by a spectrum of reasons, among which there are objective (for instance, the necessity of the parallel construction of general institutional environment and particular development institutions) and subjective ones (designing policy "from top down", which leads to inability to adequately assess the needs, and, what is more essential, the possibilities of businesses).

3. Selectivity of industrial policy was destined to produce a multiplicative effect, which should have sustained general economic growth. What happens de facto is the development of inclusive institutions that target redistribution of rent in favour of large players, including the state itself.

Промышленная политика: эволюция научных подходов, российская специфика и влияние на конкурентоспособность предприятий

С. В. Орехова

Исследование направлено на выявление типов и специфики российской промышленной политики, а также ее влияния на конкурентоспособность отечественных предприятий. Проведен терминологический анализ и предложена систематизация типов государственной промышленной политики. Новизна исследования заключается в том, что предпринята попытка выявления эффектов деятельности предприятия от результатов проведения промышленной политики. Сделан вывод, что вмешательство государства в экономику является фактором повышения конкурентоспособности бизнеса только в том случае, когда параметры предприятия соответствуют целям промышленной политики. Данное утверждение расходится со стереотипными представлениями о том, что промышленная политика всегда является своеобразным защитным барьером для отечественного бизнеса. В результате анализа эволюции подходов к проведению промышленной политики автор делает вывод: на мировой арене наблюдается существенное усиление роли государства в экономических отношениях. Политика государственного капитализма является также «визитной карточкой» российской экономической системы. Сопоставление декларируемой и реальной промышленной политики в России выявило целый ряд расхождений. Декларируемая проактивная (упреждающая) политика на практике является активной и сводится к системе «догоняющих» мер.

Ключевые слова: промышленная политика; устойчивое развитие; инструменты промышленной политики; конкурентные преимущества; реиндустриализация.
