The Main Factors of Production of the Fifth and Sixth Techno-Economic Paradigms in Modern Russia

The purpose of this study was to obtain estimates of the spread of the new techno-economic paradigm in the Russian economy and the identification of factors of production of new paradigms. We used econometric estimates of the productivity of technical and economic paradigms. It is possible to determine the contribution of the new — the fifth and sixth paradigms in per capita GDP of Russia. In today’s economy a significant part of Russian per capita income — Not less than 220–240 thousand rubles, provided by the fifth and sixth paradigms. The main factors determining the contribution to 84% of new paradigms in per capita GDP, are new technologies and human capital. New technologies are implemented through the use of new fixed assets.
