Abstract

Using the example of Kemerovo Oblast, the research provides a quantitative assessment of how the innovative development of individual economic sectors affect the competitive position of a region. We mark out five factors which adequately characterize the state of the region referring to its attractiveness for people's lives and business development. The article conducts a comparative analysis of competitiveness levels in five regions of the Siberian Federal District. It also determines the indicators for the innovative development of the Kuzbass coal industry, which, when met, help to raise the competitive advantages of the region's economy. We put forward a proposal that a new development paradigm in Kemerovo Oblast should be based on the innovative development of the coal industry.
