Differentiation of Population Incomes in Innovative Regions of Russia

The differentiation of population incomes in Russian regions clustered based on the Russian regional innovation index is estimated in the paper. To estimate the existing inequality the Gini coefficients calculated in terms of population money incomes with regard to the purchasing power of the ruble in the regions are used. Some conclusions about changes in the differentiation of population incomes taking into account the innovation factor are made and some recommendations concerning the state policy are formulated.
