Diagnosis of knowledge economy vector: a regional aspect

Abstract. The article presents the author’s perspective on the determinants of the knowledge economy development and suggests methodological tools to assess the levels of the knowledge economy development in terms of its components, which, unlike existing international rating methodologies, are based on statistical database research adapted to modern conditions and takes into account the national economy, allowing to define the vector of development and identify the depth of the economic transformation of separate regions. Proposed methodological approach is based on calculations of integrated indicators with entropy method and regions positioning in three-dimensional feature space by components: innovation, education and ICT. This study allows forming a territorial area, combining research, educational and informational potential of entrepreneurs with a specialization for activities, and also contributed to the separation of groups of regions that require greater attention from the government to improve their level of development.
