Spatial inequalities in Russia: dynamic and sectorial analysis
by Evgeniya Kolomak
International Journal of Economic Policy in Emerging Economies (IJEPEE), Vol. 6, No. 4, 2013

Abstract: We study the dynamics of inter-regional economic disparities for a number of development characteristics, test the hypothesis of the new economic geography and connect the results with the prediction of the bell curve describing spatial concentration over time. Empirical analysis shows that the spatial concentration of economic activity continues in Russia and that the rate of inter-regional divergence is rather high. The factors that affect spatial concentration and regional disparities in Russia are population density, size and accessibility of markets, as well as the level of diversification.
