Analysis of the Regional Disparities in Russia through STATIS Methodology
Scienze Regionali. 2022. Vol. 21. No. 2. P. 169-198.
Russia is one of the most important nations in the world, with 145 million inhabitants and 85 regions. The process of structural change in its economic transition has been influenced by its size, distance to markets, climate, natural resource endowments and allocation of industries, producing strong regional differentials. In this paper, we analyse the differences among regions and their dynamics from 2007-2013. For this purpose, we apply a dynamic multivariate method, named STATIS, in order to identify the main socio-economic characteristics of the regions, to find homogeneous clusters, and to examine their temporal dynamics.

Generally, environmental innovation (clean) has a lower return than non-environmental one (dirty) in the short run, because of higher compliance costs for regulations. However, the positive effects of policy-induced clean innovations on productivity will be observed in ...

The fundamental idea underpinning spatial econometric models of economic growth is as follows: regional growth is determined not only by social, economic, geographic traits of a region but also by spillovers from other regions, most importantly adjacent ones. If one region starts booming, it can left neighbors unaffected (neutral mechanism), spur their growth (cooperation mechanism) ...
