DEVELOPMENTAL INSTITUTIONS» SPECIFICTY IN SOME SIBERIAN REGIONS

The paper is devoted to the peculiarities of «developmental institutions» formation in the Siberian regions. The importance of the institutional environment and informal personalized ties that affect its formation is articulated. The research is carried out according to the methodological base of public choice theory, especially – economics of bureaucracy, and the concept of D. North. The functional roles which «developmental institutions» perform in the Siberian regions are disclosed, namely: «affiliate» of the regional administration under its full organizational, financial and administrative control; «independent agent», which expresses the interests of academic and university science and small innovative business; «subdivision» of federal innovative structure that promotes commercialization of innovations in the region; «conductor» of the big business interests that favours large-scale projects realization in the region. As a result, different combinations of the elements of institutional environment and informal personalized ties between subjects who are involved in the process of «developmental institutions» creation determine further «success» or «failure» of these organizationaleconomic structures.
