High priority activities for the region key for the GRP formation are identified. The sectors of economic complex lagging behind the given development trend are revealed economically and mathematically. The most precise ways of optimization and coordination of investment resources in the territories are justified. Scientific novelty. The designed development indices on the updated basis allow for identifying the investment-innovation reserves in the regions and to optimally use them. Practical importance. The proposed assessment and calculation mechanisms can be an effective control and management tool for the federal, regional and municipal authorities in the development and implementation of investment programs in the period of national innovative modernization, as well as in research activities of consulting companies and institutions of social and economic development.

Purpose. To develop a set of indicators for assessing the modernization potential of territories. Мethods. Correlation-regression, clustering structural, structural-logical methods of analysis have been applied. Results. A series of relative indicators has been formed to assess the modernization potential of territories interpreting the effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of innovation processes, variability of the analyzed indicators within a Federal district, as well as specific parameters of human capital. Scientific novelty. The developed indicators on the updated basis allow for identifying innovative reserve in Federal districts and for differentiating application approaches. Practical importance. The proposed assessment patterns can be used as an effective control and management tool for federal, regional and municipal authorities in the development and implementation of regional innovation programs, and also in research activities of consulting organizations and social and economic development institutions.

Purpose. Development of the system of economic-mathematical indices of for calculation of efficiency of small business territories functioning. Identification of the key problems preventing the development of business in the regions and determination of actions of small business stimulation in particular regions of the Federal district.

Application of the regression and cluster analyses, method of analogies and graphical interpretation of the received results allow achieving the objective set in the research. Results and sphere of application. On the basis of official statistics the authors formulated suggestions on efficiency appraisal of small business of the Federal district and determination of reserves for further development of business and innovative sectors on that basis. The determined on that basis problem regions included into that district can be a kind of base for activation of efforts on stimulating small business on part of regional and federal power bodies.

The authors proposed a system of interconnected indices which allow evaluating a level and trends small business development in a particular level of industry on the background of All-Russian results on a renewed theoretical basis.

Purpose. Identification of problem and the most promising economic activities in the region based on a comparison of their quantitative indicators with the average for the district, as well as with those on the statistical cluster to which the region. Methods. Achieve its goals in the study allows the use of data-matching method, cluster analysis and calculation of the indicator integral development of agricultural activities on the internal and external functioning parameters. Results. Based on official statistics a proposal for performance evaluation of agricultural activities in the Central Federal District and on this basis the definition of investment prospects were offered. Identified problem areas in the development of agriculture can be a serious obstacle to the functioning of the economy of innovation territories, as well as regional authorities regarded as springboards to concentrate financial and legal efforts. Scientific novelty. The proposed procedure for evaluating the study of indicators of agricultural development can reasonably prioritize one or another sector of agriculture in the region for investors support.

Article is devoted to definition of prospects and problems in implementation of modernization of the country, to the analysis of indicators of development of scientific and technical achievements of territories for the long period. Globalization of modern economic processes and need for providing a standard of living of the developed countries impose new requirements to functioning of domestic economy on the basis of dynamic development of large-scale innovations.
