Annotation: The article develops an approximate version of the model of institutional transformation in the sphere of repro- duction of innovations through public-private partnership (PPP). The growing need for the said transformation is substantiated, and the general outline is proposed and the organic integrity of the proposed institutional transformations in the sphere of development of relevant partnership relations between the state and business is characterized. The necessity of a qualitative update of the constitutional “rules about rules” for the forming of new institutions in the sphere of PPP, ensuring the expanded reproduction of cognitive and product innovations, is proven. The critical role of the power-ownership system in increasing the efficiency of PPP, based on civil society and the rule of law, is considered. The key role of the intellectual firm in the general structural model of the institutional mechanism of public-private partnership in the sphere of innovation creation and, in general, the development of innovative relations in the modern economy is verified. The institutions that ensure the creative focus of the new model of partnership relations between the state and private business in the context of increas- ing complexity are characterized.

Annotation: The article clarifies the interpretation and specifies the content of the technological paradigm as a structural and reproductive integrity. The ontology of the change of technological paradigms as the dynamics of the organic integrity of related industries is revealed. The moving boundaries of the specific weights of private and public participation in the sphere of expanded reproduction of technological innovations are considered, and attention is focused on the creation of new forms of interaction between the market and the state in the sphere of ensuring highly efficient technological transformation. Interdisciplinary aspects of the formation, development and change of socio-economic systems, as well as the corresponding technological paradigms, are characterized. A nanocog- nitive form of human capital is proposed, relevant to the hypothetical seventh technological paradigm based on the system of tacit knowledge with an unconditional creative orientation of economic development. It is shown that for the successful development of technological innovations, a relevant technology of economic-ideological, institutional, cognitive, organizational-managerial and other transformations is necessary. The new role of state entrepreneurship in solving the problems of highly effective technological transformation has been verified.

Annotation: The article offers a general description of the dynamic forms of artificial intelligence (AI) as an innovative factor in the systemic transformation of the modern economy. An assumption is made about the possible emergence of a conditional fourth stage of AI development (the stage of “digital cognitive plasma”), based on the superpowers of neural networks, in interaction with big knowledge, in the field of expanded reproduction of both the system of implicit and explicit knowledge. The contradictory consequences of the influence of artificial intelligence on the human capital of an economic entity are analyzed within the framework of the dichotomy “creativity – labor”. The conclusion is substantiated about the continuous reduction in the share of “live” creativity in the system of general forms of innovative relations, in favor of the “creativity” of AI technologies. The modern specificity is revealed and alternative consequences of the digital transformation of the human capital market are characterized in the context of the current stage of domestic socio-economic development. The negative effects of the influence of AI on the dynamics of demand for domestic human capital and the forms of its supply, caused by the features of the development of relevant regional, industry, monopoly and international economic relations, are shown. An interdisciplinary list of the main arguments for and against the use of artificial intelligence technologies in the modern economy is proposed.

Annotation: The article presents current measures to support small and medium-sized businesses in the Russian Federa- tion. Priority sectors of small and medium-sized businesses for the provision of investment loans in 2025–2030 are considered. Loans issued to small and medium-sized businesses in 2017–2023 are analyzed, as well as the dynamics of the volume of loans provided to small and medium-sized businesses. The impact of the 2022–2024 sanctions on the availability of long-term financing is considered. The study highlights short-term liquidity instru- ments that can become a starting point for future reforms, strengthening the country’s position as a developing entrepreneurial power. Factors that hinder the development of lending to small and medium-sized businesses are revealed, including regulatory restrictions, insufficient financial literacy, and the high cost of credit resources, and their causes and consequences are considered. The conclusion of the study presents the findings, recom- mendations, and prospects for the development of bank lending to small and medium-sized businesses in Russia.

Annotation: The article specifies theoretical and scientific-practical aspects of forming and development of contractual rela- tions in the modern domestic economy. A brief retrospective of key provisions characterizing the specifics of the functioning of incomplete contracts as the most important basis for market self-regulation and the dynamics of competitive interactions is offered. The “pure” contract in the form of the institutional G2G model operating in the Russian economy is characterized, which is a natural consequence of the traditional administrative distri- bution and a function of rent-oriented behavior of key economic entities. The negative socio-economic conse- quences of the domestic quasi-market, presented as a state-commercial symbiosis incapable of self-organization and self-regulation, and blocking the relationship of open and competitive access to scarce economic resources, are revealed. The need to develop an institutional mechanism designed to quickly form a system of contractual distribution that optimizes the interests of the state and representatives of the private sector of the economy is substantiated. The prospects for the forming of innovative forms of modern contractual relations in the domestic economy are considered. In this regard, the need for updating and further improving the offset contract system has been verified, especially in the area of expanded reproduction of technological innovations.
