THE POSITIVE EXTERNALITIES OF INDUSTRIAL CLUSTERS: APPROACHES TO EVALUATION AND REGULATION

Abstract

The paper shows that research that benefits lead to the emergence of positive externalities significantly affect the implementation of other economic activities, not directly related to industrial clusters. However, there remain open questions of state regulation with the purpose of maximizing positive externalities, and they require further investigation, since a significant part of the research focused mainly on addressing the opportunities to improve the economic performance of the cluster. The present paper systematizes the positive externalities of industrial clusters, as well as the directions of development of tools of state regulation of the real sector of the economy.
