Implementation of the federal regional policy based on a cluster of branch markets in the region

The new concept of long-term socio-economic development of the Russian Federationuntil 2020 offers a balanced territorial development of each region on the basis of competitiveness. Regional development is determinedby the already formed zones of rapid economic growth, with Tomsk region among them. Due to the differences in the socio-economic situationin the regions it is necessary to develop a single streamlined process of selection of competitive strategies for their development. Cluster is abasic category in the formation of strategies and competitive advantages of regions. Clustering is a tool for strategic interaction between industriesin the region. To determine the regional production clusters forming a system of regional industry analytics is required. Information is ameasure of order and stability of the economic system. Transformation of information is a critical component of both production and consumption.The region, effectively transforming the information, possesses a competitive advantage, creating more favourable conditions for investmentinflows in the form of financing orders, infusion of private domestic and foreign capital. Currently, the regions have not formed a systemof monitoring the competitive environment; and there is no system of indicators and criteria for its evaluation. The system of quantitative indicatorsof competitive industries according to the theory of industrial organization may include indicators of concentration of production and indicatorsof monopoly power based on a comparison of real markets with markets of perfect competition. It is very difficult to track the status ofthese indicators in the information gap. National statistics does not currently meet market requirements. There are information barriers betweenmarket participants. Regional branches of the database should be formed on the basis of integrated models of quality and competitiveness ofindividual enterprises and industrial complexes in general. A variant of this model can be complex technical and economic indices of initial rawmaterials and the finished product, including a set of chemical, mineralogical, technological, technical, environmental and economic indicators.In this case the main indicator of the efficiency and competitiveness of the industries should be the market price of goods and services producedat the world, Russian and regional levels. The existing regional dispersion of prices indicates fragmentation of regional markets, which restrictscompetition.
