ANALYSIS OF THE DYNAMICS OF PERFORMANCE INDICATORS OF REGIONAL ECONOMIC GROWTH

Abstract

The search for ways and resources for the economic development of Russian territories necessitates the assessment of its results, expressed in economic growth indicators. In this regard, an urgent scientific and practical problem is both the definition of indicators that best reflect the economic growth of territorial formation, and the development of methods for analyzing their dynamics. The article studies approaches and methods of analyzing the dynamics of economic growth. Special attention is paid to the analysis of one of the key indicators of socio-economic development – the gross regional product (GRP), as the main indicator of the development of the regions of Russia. The features that need to be taken into account when analyzing the dynamics of GRP are highlighted, such as the requirement of comparability of cost estimates of the indicator over time. In addition, the analytical capabilities of GRP as a macroeconomic indicator for expanding the possibilities of analyzing the dynamics of economic growth are investigated. Proposals have been developed for the methodological development of one of these areas – the analysis of shock resistance of economic growth of territorial formation. It is proposed to identify the types of regions by the level and nature of shock resistance. Calculations and allocation of types of shock resistance by Russian regions for the period of recent years have been carried out. The most typical type of reaction of the regional economy to the impact of crises is highlighted. These developments can be useful for use in the field of strategic planning of regional development, as well as as an improvement and complement to existing methods of statistical analysis of economic growth.
