Abstract

The authors analyze the problems and prospects of the socio-economic, scientific, and technological development of Siberia and the directions of strengthening positions in the world and Russian space. The primary development problems of Siberia and the Siberian Federal District (further-SFD) are identified, taking into account modern challenges and threats. The authors used Data Envelopment Analysis to define the technical efficiency of the social, environmental investments, and energy consumption level. It is shown that the recovery of the Siberian economy as a whole and the SFD regions, particularly, should be based on a significant increase in investment activity at all levels: macro-regional, regional, and municipal. Need to develop the focus on “embedding” Siberia in new international initiatives, high-tech niches of the Russian and world economies, as well as on a system of priority measures that should be taken at the national, interregional, and regional levels.

Abbreviations

GRP :

Gross Regional Product (GDP)-a comprehensive measure of the economies of counties, metropolitan statistical areas, and some other local areas. Ural-Kuznetsk Industrial Complex (UKIC)—a steel and iron-producing complex consisting of 15 metallurgical plants located in the Urals and Siberia, 7 coal mines, 5 coke chemical enterprises, 14 non-ferrous metallurgy enterprises and 27 power plants. Siberian Federal District (SFD)—the territory of the SFD represents 25.47% of Russia's territory. The population is 17009.2 thousand people (on the 1st January 2021). The district's share accounts for 9.6% of Russia's GDP. The district includes ten subjects, including three republics (Altai, Tyva, Khakassia), two territories (Altai, Krasnoyarsk), and five regions (Irkutsk, Kemerovo, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Tomsk). The total area is 4361.8 thousand square kilometers (25.5% of the Russian Federation's territory). Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)—is a performance measurement technique that can evaluate the relative efficiency of management processes.
