Indicative Approach to Assessing the Potential for Capacity Growth in Branches of the Nonresource Sector of the Region

Abstract

The paper considers the problem of capacity growth of the economic system in the region due to accumulated or gross value added. The gross value added, as an indicator of the economic development of territories, is represented by the following sources of development: the salary fund for supporting labour potential, depreciation and profit, as means of ensuring reproduction in business. Assessing the region’s capacity potential is also carried out from the perspective of the potential of available resources accumulated by gross value added, with their subsequent transformation into the stock and labour capacity. Along with that, gross value added appears in two aspects: as a potential for resource development and as an economic effect of the subjects’ activities in the region, it allows using an indicative approach to modelling situations and making management decisions for its growth at various levels – from business to industry within macro-districts and municipalities. There is a logical chain of indicators, that moves from the investment potential formed and used to support resources to the results of using it in the form of GVA and capacity. The Krasnoyarsk Krai, consisting of 6 macrodistricts and 58 territories, is an object of the research. The subject of the research was the development of production systems in the territories with access to metrics assessing the transformation quality and efficiency. Their indicative form allows classifying territories and macro-districts by their use of available resources. In general, the research is analytical and is aimed at developing the regional policy to improve the technological structure of the economy, giving it greater stability in changing markets.
