Regional Economic Systems and Intellectual Property in Agriculture

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: The aim of the study is to analyze primary statistics on the use of intellectual property in agriculture in modern Russia, as well as to identify the relationships between human capital, the supply of research labor, and the growth of intellectual capital in agriculture and its intensity relative to agricultural output. To conduct the study, a sample of 34 regions of the Russian Federation for the period from 2017 to 2024 was analyzed. By using count model estimation, it was demonstrated that both economic incentives and human capital have a significant impact on the use of breeding achievements in agriculture. However, this impact of economic incentives is valid only for the extensive expansion of the applied objects of intellectual property. The level of human capital in the region consistently stimulates the growth and intensity of innovation activity to the scale of the agricultural industry. At the same time, the increase in the cost of researcher labor has a negative effect on the number of breeding achievements used or their intensity in agricultural output. The authors hope that this paper will contribute to the literature examining complex, multifactorial influences on regional agricultural production.
