RESOURCE CONSUMPTION OF INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION IN RUSSIA AS COMPARED TO FOREIGN ANALOGUES
Abstract
The transition to sustainable development model includes the qualitative improvement of production on the basis of resource-saving technologies. The parameters of specific resource consumption of industrial production allow estimating the efficiency of different economies and making appropriate decisions. Calculation of resource consumption for individual countries with the purpose of their further comparison is rather difficult because the physical indicators are incompatible as they are measured in different units. A universal method is necessary which should be based on reliable calculations. The suggested model deals with the problem by applying the elements of the qualimetry and the PATTERN method. Correlation of the specific resource consumption of principal industrial facilities and the general level of economic development of each country made it possible to identify the contrasting types of countries, i.e. high-tech countries with low specific resource consumption, resource-efficient highly-developed countries through to the poorly-developed countries with the highest specific resource consumption. The suggested method of the estimation of industrial resource consumption could become applicable for the comparative evaluation of the efficiency of different economies.
