Analysis of Indicators Characterizing Export Competitiveness of Goods and Their Interrelations Identification

Abstract

The urgency of the problem under study is due to the influence of the export support
system on the competitiveness of the national economy. One of the elements of the
export support system is a regulatory legal framework containing requirements for
both the conditions of state support for exports and the procedure and technique for
export competitiveness assessing. The regulatory legal framework for export support
in the Russian Federation is formed by strategic planning documents and legislative
acts, which are characterized by the lack of proper coordination between them. The
foregoing will not allow conducting an effective state policy in the field of export and
objectively assessing the export competitiveness of Russian goods. In this regard, the
purpose of the article is to identify the relationship between indicators of export
competitiveness based on the analysis of strategic planning documents and strategies
of key actors in the development of export relations. The leading methods of cognition
that underlie the study of this problem are analysis, synthesis and induction, which
allow identifying the relationship between the applied indicators of export
competitiveness and justifying proposals for their harmonization. The main results of
the article are proposals for expanding the number of indicators of export
competitiveness, aligning the target values of these indicators and amending the
regulatory legal framework. The materials of the article can be useful for assessing the
products’ export competitiveness and will allow determining further directions to
improve the state policy in the development of Russian exports and increase the
attractiveness of the national economy in world markets.
