Substantiation of structural changes priorities in the Saratov region agro-food complex	Introduction. Modern challenges and threats to the development of the Russian agro-food complex determine the search for new growth sources of the complex, the strengthening of orientation towards the formation of a balanced functional and sectoral structure. The relevance of the regional aspect of research and substantiation of structural changes in the agro-food complex is associated with a deep socio-economic, natural-climatic and socio-cultural differentiation of the country’s regions. Theoretical analysis. Changing the role of regions in solving food security problems and providing the population with quality food is a global trend. The rupture of global food chains as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the sanctions confrontation strengthens the influence of local producers on the food market, suggests the need to form a multilevel agro-food complex of the country. Structural changes in the agro-food complex of Russia have their own characteristics associated with the heterogeneity of its spatial development. Empirical analysis. The accelerated growth of the agricultural sector of Saratov region economy due to the concentration on the production of a limited group of agricultural products (cereals and oilseeds, sugar) has been revealed. The regional food market segments, which have a surplus and shortage of products, are determined. It is substantiated that current trends extrapolation in the development of the regional agro-food complex preserves its unbalanced structure and further growth in the share of raw materials and primary processing products, while reducing the share of deep processing products. Results. Adaptation to new risks and threats is associated with an increasing trend towards the localization of production and supply of agricultural products and food. The priority areas for the development of the regional food system should be the diversification of agro-food production, local food chains formation with deep processing of agricultural raw materials, and the intensification of interregional exchange.

Factors of Social Services Markets’ Restructuring in the Information Economy in Russia	Introduction. A modern economy, based on digital technologies and new consumption patterns, is restructuring not only traditional areas of business, but also markets that were not previously influenced by private capital. First of all, this applies to markets related to education and medical care. Theoretical analysis. The understanding of the modern theory of structural changes in the economic sector is based on the concept of structural shifts (qualitative changes) between the three main sectors (primary, secondary and tertiary) (J. Kruger, C. Clark, S. Kuznets), due to the uneven dynamics of their development (O. Yu. Krasilnikov). Theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of structural changes in modern economics are based on their assessment not as a consequence, but as one of the sources of economic growth (J. Lin). Based on the analysis of structural changes, conditions and tasks for an active structural policy are determined. Empirical analysis. The factors influencing the change in the structure of markets in the fields of medicine and education are decomposed. An analysis of the educational and medical services markets’ restructuring is carried out in the following areas: changing the nature of demand through new consumption patterns; the study of statistical information on the financial and physical volumes of the medical and educational services’ markets; determination of the state budgetary policy impact in the social sphere; assessment of disruptive innovations’ impact. Results. Among the most significant factors influencing the economic structure of the medical and educational sectors, there are such as changes in customer preferences and consumption patterns, market for relevant services’ restructuring and the emergence of new internal market niches, state policy that directly or indirectly affects the redistribution of financial flows within industries and the increased importance of modern digital technology application in the production of services.

The Relationship between Structural Changes and Economic Development of Russia	Introduction. This article investigates the relationship between changes in the structure of Russia’s economy and economic development at the stage of the postindustrial society formation. The purpose of this scientific article is to study the mechanism of interaction of structural changes and economic dynamics with their qualitative and quantitative sides. Theoretical analysis. The author explores the impact of major production factors (technological progress, capital and labor) on structural shifts between the pre-industrial, industrial and post-industrial sectors of the economy. The next step is to examine the impact of shifts between these sectors on overall economic dynamics. To achieve stable growth of the national economy on the basis of the extension of the post-industrial way of production it is necessary to involve progressive determinants of technological progress: innovations in production technologies, highly skilled human capital. These provisions are analyzed on the basis of the closed system of the national economy taking into account the influence of external economic factors, depending on world energy prices. Results. The made a conclusion about the necessity of forming a new model of Russia’s economy macroeconomic development through diversification of its structure, priority investment into innovative industries and sectors, implementing of major infrastructure projects	IZVESTIYA OF SARATOV UNIVERSITY.
