Компании сектора информационных технологий (ИТ‑компании) являют­ся разработчиками и каналами трансфера новых технологий, источниками цифровых решений для широкого круга экономических агентов. Величина сектора информационных технологий в России и его вклад в экономику пока отстают от уровня стран-лидеров. В последние годы число создавае­мых ИТ‑компаний сокращается, а число ликвидированных компаний растет. Бизнес-демография ИТ‑компаний демонстрирует значительную региональ­ную дифференциацию и более чем двукратный межрегиональный разрыв по показателям создания и ликвидации предприятий. В работе исследуется связь демографии российских ИТ‑компаний с региональными характеристиками в 2010—2020 гг. с использованием регрессионного анализа (метода Ареллано—Бонда). Полученные результаты показали: общее перемещение предпринимательской активности в направлении с востока на запад и рост концентрации ИТ‑компаний в столичных центрах; устойчивые различия между западными и восточными территориями России; значимость регио­нальных характеристик институциональной среды, качества человеческого капитала и среды обитания. Результаты исследования имеют значение для разработки направлений и мер поддержки развития цифровой экономики.

Information technology (IT) companies design and disseminate new technologies, sources of digital solutions for a wide range of economic agents. The size of the IT sector in Russia and its contribution to the national economy still lag behind the level of the leading countries. In recent years, the number of estab­lished IT companies has been declining, while the number of liquidated com­panies has been growing. The business demographics of IT companies represent exceptional regional differentiation, more than a twofold interregional gap on the birth and death rates. The paper explores the relationship between the demog­raphy of Russian IT companies from 2010 to 2020 with the help of regression analysis (Arellano—Bond method). The results showed a general shift of activity in the direction from east to west and an increase in the concentration of IT companies in metropolitan centers; stable differences between the western and eastern territories of Russia; the significance of regional institutional environment and habitat. The results of the study are important for decision making to support the development of the digital economy in Russian regions.
