Importance The article considers mechanisms to assess the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) on a number of significant indicators of economic and innovative development of regions.
Objectives The main objective of the research is to develop a technique and analyze correlations and dependencies between growth rates of informatization in regions and a number of their economic and innovation indicators.
Methods The paper offers an integrated indicator of economy informatization, which includes major indicators applied in international and Russian studies to analyze the development of information and communication technologies. We created econometric models to examine the efficiency of ICT application in regions of the Russian Federation.
Results Based on obtained statistical results, we established correlation dependencies testifying that the ICT development is an important factor, which has an impact on economic growth and innovative activity in regions.
Conclusions Innovative and rational application of ICT will become a basis of creating the integrated economic and information space, both in Russian regions, and in the country in general. Practical implementation of models for assessing the impact of informatization on the economy of regions enables to formulate priorities to choose factors that increase regions' competitive ability.
