How to assess an efficiency of regional innovation systems in Russia?

Several approaches for efficiency assessment of regional innovation systems in Russia were introduced in the paper. They were based on an index, data envelope (DEA) and stochastic frontier (SFA) analysis. An ability of a region to create new technologies in a given resources of human capital and R & D expenditures. We also offered a typology of regions based on cluster analysis of the results of an application of these approaches. Among the leaders are the largest metropolitan area, as well as engineering centers, where the necessary infrastructure for patenting was developed. The proposed method can be used for regional innovation policy goals

Keywords: regional innovation systems, Russian regions, patents, efficiency, DEA, SFA, index
