Исследователи ИСИЭЗ выявили препоны в трансфере технологий в аграрном секторе страны

Ведущие научные сотрудники Лаборатории экономики инноваций ИСИЭЗ НИУ ВШЭ Томас Тернер и Станислав Заиченко записали видео, в котором представили результаты совместной работы, вышедшей недавно в научном журнале «Science and Public Policy». Исследуя проблемы трансфера технологий в аграрном секторе России, авторы, в частности, попытались ответить на вопрос, может ли государственное финансирование решить проблемы с вовлечением бизнеса?

Аннотация к статье (на английском):

The Russian government plans to lift the country’s agriculture and food productions and aims to become the biggest global supplier of healthy, high-quality, and ecologically ‘clean’ foods. Although innovative activities in the field have been rising over the last decade, the intensity still remains far below both other Russian economic activities as well as other competitor nations. Policymakers focus on Russia’s Research and Technology Organisations (RTOs) as a channel to transfer new technologies to agricultural and food producers. As demand for new technologies is low, public funds are invested into RTOs to increase the quality of their basic research activities. Instead of converting these additional funds into better technology transfer, agricultural RTOs specialise in government-funded basic research and reduce further their role as applied research organisations. Thereby, RTOs do not seek to increase their competitive position but instead maximise their benefits from public support. This article questions the leverage effect that public support measures have for technology transfer activities in the present case, and suggests that a more holistic approach including both supply and demand is needed.
