CONDITIONS OF FORMATION OF THE COMMUNICATION QUASI-RENT

 

The active conversion of the old system of economic relations and the creation and approval of a new, form the content of transformation processes in the Russian economy, which in a sense, as an integrated system combines various subsystems.  The system of rent relations, as an important subsystem in its structure, is performing a crucial role in the process of social reproduction. As part of the overall system of economic relations is linked with the economy of rare, often unique resources that can generate additional income in the form of rent. Occurring dramatic changes in the economic basis of social relations predetermined widespread objects of rental income, the complexity of modern rent relations and led to the rent level of systemic effects. Even in scientific community began to talk about the formation of "economic rent" [1], dictating the expansion of the various manifestations of rent-seeking agents and producing negative effects that can block the normal functioning of all spheres of modern society. In this case, there naturally arises the need to limit the negative effects of rent-seeking behavior through the establishment of appropriate mechanisms and institutions.

However, in our opinion, the assertion that the origin and assignment of rental income is the only source of negative economic shocks that destroy or distort the system of economic relations, is not justified. The matter is that any modern economic systems as a result of complication of structure of public reproduction face occurrence of new kinds of investment incomes, many of which bear in themselves function of a source of development and cause lifting of innovative activity in economic agents. Obviously, a research of rent relations requires consideration of new economic realities, understanding new phenomena and a full theoretical and methodological grounds. Systematic research involves the studying of the dynamics of the rental relationship, identifying their characteristics, the implementation of the contradictions, the rationale for the classification, mechanisms of formation, distribution and use of rental income in the economy. Rental income as an important component of market-oriented economy associated with the construction of various models. In this subsystem of rent relations has a direct impact on the dynamics of economic growth and macroeconomic proportions, but at the same time is under the direct or indirect effects of macroeconomic components and dynamics of economic growth in general.

Modern economy is characterized by the appearance of new types of annuities, created by a wide variety of rent-composing factors. Part of some types of annuities over time and changes in economic conditions, exhaust themselves and cease to exist, the appearance of other species leads to their proliferation and securing a long term rental in the structure of relations. In the modern classification of rental income can be quite a lengthy talk about the lineup of rents, arranged in depending on the resource rent. Species diversity of the rent is mainly determined by the difference in the sources of its occurrence. The formation of the rent can not be realized without rent-composing resource, endowed with exceptional property and giving the holder of the exclusive opportunity to share the rent as a disposition under the ownership and farming with its use. Formation of the rent is made as under the influence of environmental factors, and as a result of purposeful action. A condition of occurrence of a rent is differentiation of factors of manufacture and presence of entrance barriers in the process of cost creation. Dynamism of rent incomes is set by a market competition, and in the course of competitive struggle the rent of the manufacturer will be transformed to consumer profit. Process of distribution and rent assignment promotes growth of innovative activity and is very important for dynamical development of productive forces in the modern market economy. 

Pursuing the identification of essence and features of reproduction of the communication capital, we have some system bases to speak about allocation as a part of investment incomes of a communication quasi-rent. Occurrence of a communication quasi-rent is caused by interconditionality of processes of modernization of economic system and achievement by information-communication technologies of qualitatively new existential level of development. It, as special payment for use of unique properties of the limited resource, can be produced only by the communicative resource which is representing itself as the capital blessing. From our point of view, the social and economic potential of a communication quasi-rent can successfully add effects of use of base factors of manufacture. The rent of the capital blessings in the modern world becomes the main stimulus of scientific and technical progress and economic growth along with preservation of natural factors and development of the person. Eternal race behind superprofit forces manufacturers to introduce the most perfect cars, deducing from manufacture inefficient. High technologies bring in the additional income (rent) to those who creates them, since scientists, inventors, and finishing the businessmen using at the enterprises high technologies. The quasi-rent carries out important function from the point of view of technological progress as it stimulates innovative activity and use of more effective forms of the organization and production management. The communication quasi-rent is considered by us as the additional income over industry average profits, received at operation of communicative resources as a result of the organization of effective communication activity on the basis of innovations in information-communication field. In this case it is possible to speak about process of capitalization of the communication capital of the organizational system possessing the best communicative resources. Presence, expansion and maintenance of business ties of the organization offers the notable advantages transformed under certain institutional conditions in a communication quasi-rent. The size of a communication quasi-rent in structure occupies with received business system of profit takes a significant share. Formation of additional benefits from business interaction is carried out through integration with partners by means of the business ties opening access to the information, contacts, skills, abilities, organizational competences, resources, financial possibilities. As part of the communicative resources, rent resources are those internal and external communications, which can reduce the magnitude of transaction costs for participants in the value chain, thereby increasing the capital of each participant in the communication chain. Competitive advantages of organizational systems in modern Russian economy can be created by communicative resources, forming a basis for a sustainable development, overcomings of structural deformations, backlog liquidations on a market level of development.

The communication quasi-rent as the income of application of communicative resources represents a benefit from inclusion in industrial activity of the communicative resources created by organizational system which can't be got in the market and which therefore get properties of exclusiveness and a rarity. Ready-to-use communicative resources are not available on the market. Communicative resources of the organization are as though "an internal" product (result) of its communication activity. Consequently, the economic condition of the formation of communication quasi-rent is the difference in value and usefulness of public communication resources used by the different subjects of the market, they possess. Extremely interesting there is a possession question communicative resources. The communicative resource also as well as the communication capital is inseparable from the organization, therefore can't be withdrawn or moved at will of the proprietor of the organization. However, as the property complex belongs to its proprietor also the inalienable communicative resource belongs to the same proprietor who gets the opportunity and right to use the communicative organizational resources. Thus, feature of a communication quasi-rent is the specification of the property rights to communicative resources.

Any forms of a communication quasi-rent finally on a surface of economic events act in the form of additional profit of the organizational systems using more valuable or improved communicative resources.

Classification of a communication quasi-rent allows to designate its basic forms:

- The differential quasi-rent received at use of more effective resource;

- The exclusive quasi-rent caused by exclusive use of the limited resource;

- Local quasi-rent, which is formed within the private business processes;

- The joint quasi-rent formed in joint business processes.

The communication quasi-rent arises in bowels of the system of economic relations, forms as their natural result. Economic preconditions of formation of a communication quasi-rent are interaction and integration of activity of economic agents in the course of creation consumer values. Application of a communicative resource as the rent-composing factor can promote a gain of the total public income, and process of assignment of the created communicative quasi-rent is connected with its distribution between participants of an exchange.
