PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS OF FUNCTIONING OF TERRITORIES OF ADVANCED SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN RUSSIA

Abstract

The article discusses the issue of the effectiveness of the use of one of the territorial development tools. Territories of Advanced Social and Economic Development (TASED) are a way to support local and attract new companies to certain Russian regions, to increase the activity of their business environment. The study is relevant due to the presence of eighty-nine operating TASED on the territory of the Russian Federation. At the same time, many officials and well-known economists have a question about the advisability of creating such territories. The issue of ineffectiveness of the TASED functioning is constantly raised by the executive authorities, however, at present, the criteria for inefficiency or low efficiency of these territories are not established by legislation. The article identifies a number of problems of the TASED institute, in particular, the low occupancy rate of the TASED is associated with the lack of communal infrastructure in the territories with this status, as well as with low entrepreneurial activity in the corresponding region. In addition, restrictions on the permitted types of activities of the TASED residents also do not help to attract investors. Despite the difficulties, many companies, choosing between the possibility of locating production in large urban agglomerations or single-industry towns, often choose the latter due to the lower amount of taxes and insurance premiums for employees. At the same time, in general, the situation with the functioning of the TASED institute remains unfinished. The article presents proposals for improving the work of various government levels overseeing the TASED activities. To accelerate the TASED development, the state should focus not on the number of successful TASED, but on the quality of new and the work of lagging territories. Increased attention to areas requiring development and adjustment of management mechanisms for TASED will allow this institution to reach a higher level of development and compete with special economic zones (SEZ).
