Оценка перспективных направлений заимствования технологий (на примере отрасли выращивания зерновых культур)

The article presents estimates of perspective sources for technology borrowing in cereal cultivation industry for Russian regions. Estimates are based on technological ranking which is derived from cereal yield model using Solow residual methodology. The model uses cross-section averaged 2005-2009 data on Russian regions. Independent significant variables are mineral fertilizers, climate, soil quality and share of spring crops. The article differs from existing works in analysis of cereal yield factors on all- Russian regions level, but not on concrete region case; for the first time technological ranking of Russian regions in cereal industry is derived.
