At the same time, empirical evidence on how infrastructure factors influence the effectiveness of regional innovation policy remains limited. This study aims to identify constraints in innovation policy through the quality of supporting infrastructure, taking regional heterogeneity into account. The sample includes only regions that are comparable in terms of development level and policy orientation. The methodological framework is based on infrastructure analysis, where policy effectiveness is linked to the quality of resource, research and educational, human capital, financial, and regulatory infrastructure. We analyse panel data (1,870 observations) using the partial least squares method. By integrating differentiated regional analysis with an infrastructure-based approach, the study provides a novel framework for assessing innovation policy effectiveness in Russia. The results indicate that the main infrastructure constraints are concentrated in the financial, resource, and research and educational domains. We identify several statistically significant negative relationships, including the relationship between the share of business funding in R&amp;D and technology exports, as well as between federal project funding and the share of innovative products based on Russian intellectual property. In resource infrastructure, machinery and equipment renewal appears to act as a constraining factor. In research and educational infrastructure, limitations include weak commercialization of research output and a long lag between publication activity and practical implementation. No statistically significant effect is found for human capital infrastructure. These findings can support regional authorities in Russia in adjusting innovation policy and prioritizing resource allocation. The main limitation of the study is its focus on linear relationships only.</p></abstract><abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Проблема низкой результативности инновационной деятельности при значительном ее потенциале остается актуальной для России, особенно в условиях сильной региональной дифференциации. В научной среде сохраняется дефицит эмпирических работ, доказывающих влияние инфраструктурных факторов на результативность инновационной политики регионов. Цель исследования — выявление ограничений инновационной политики через призму качества формируемого ею инфраструктурного обеспечения с учетом дифференциации развития. Последнее предполагает включение в выборку только сопоставимых регионов (по уровню развития и реализуемой политике). Методология опирается на инфраструктурный анализ: результативность политики связана с качеством такой инфраструктуры как ресурсная, научно-образовательная, кадровая, финансовая, нормативно-правовая. Обработка панельных данных (1870 наблюдений) проведена методом частичных наименьших квадратов, в итоге впервые в анализе инновационной политики осуществлена интеграция дифференцированного и инфраструктурного подходов, что позволило достичь поставленной цели исследования. Результаты показали, что ключевые инфраструктурные ограничения связаны с финансовой, ресурсной и научно-образовательной сферами. Выявлены статистически значимые негативные влияния, такие как отрицательная связь доли бизнеса в финансировании исследований и разработок с экспортом технологий, а также федерального финансирования проектов — с долей инновационной продукции на основе российских результатов интеллектуальной деятельности. В ресурсной инфраструктуре ограничивающим фактором выступает обновление машин и оборудования, а в научно-образовательной — низкая коммерциализация научных разработок, долгий переход от публикационной активности к внедрению разработок. Статистически значимое влияние кадровой инфраструктуры не выявлено. Полученные результаты могут быть использованы региональными органами власти для корректировки инновационной политики и концентрации ресурсов на приоритетных направлениях. Основное ограничение исследования связано с тестированием только линейных связей. Направление будущих исследований — углубленный анализ выявленных ограничений с применением бенчмаркинга с целью выявления ключевых причин несовершенств инновационной политики регионов выборки.</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>regional innovation policy</kwd><kwd>innovation policy bottlenecks</kwd><kwd>infrastructure constraints</kwd><kwd>partial least squares</kwd><kwd>PLS regression</kwd><kwd>benchmarking of regions</kwd><kwd>innovation policy performance</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>региональная инновационная политика</kwd><kwd>узкие места инновационной политики</kwd><kwd>инфраструктурные ограничения</kwd><kwd>частичный метод наименьших квадратов</kwd><kwd>PLS-регрессия</kwd><kwd>результативность инновационной политики</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body/><back><ack xml:lang="en"><p>This study was supported by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation, project No. 25-28-20407.</p></ack><ack xml:lang="ru"><p>Исследование выполнено за счет гранта Российского научного фонда No 25-28-20407.</p></ack><ref-list><ref id="en-ref1"><label>1</label><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Alatrista, A.
