Methodological approaches to analyzing the structure of the economy at the regional level

Abstract

On the basis of qualitative analysis of the structural components of the regional economy, the authors propose the best options for using the methodology for their quantitative evaluation. The results of substantive assessment of the structure of the economy are the following: firstly, determining the behavior of structural changes; secondly, identifying the structural imbalance; thirdly, developing the strategy for structural policy. Structural features necessary for the creation of structural policy are defined in this article. A set of variables, based on the dynamics of which, it is possible to form the policy of structural transformation at the macro - and mesoeconomic levels is proposed to be implemented. Applying econometric modeling to correlate indices of economic development with the rate of structural changes is suggested. This approach can be applied by state statistical bodies and regional ministries, dealing with economic issues.
