“…It is also believed that the cult of productivity "caused great damage to nature and a lot of suffering to society" (Bevins, 2017). The authors argue that the disproportionatein comparison to other regionsproductivity growth of the relatively small area of the Riga region in Latvia was one of the reasons for the outflow of economic activity from (Boronenko, 2009;Selivanova-Fyodorova et al, 2019).…”

The main concepts of this study are productivity and efficiency, which are very relevant for Latvia and are reflected both in the latest scientific publications, dissertation researches and analytical reviews of the Latvian ministries and representatives of the European Commission in Latvia, as well as in expert reports published in the press. The objective of this article is empirical interpretation and search of the most corresponding to the terminological background method of measuring of the productivity and efficiency of regions, based on a specific example of the regions of Latvia. The results of the previous authors' research showed that the productivity of region is defined as it`s ability to create as many as possible goods or services per unit of time, while the efficiency is the pure economical term that takes into account the amount of the factors of production utilizied in the production process. Productivity / efficiency of a region is not only the sum of the productivity / efficiency of economical units functioning in this region, as contains a certain "delta"synergy effect (for factors of production), agglomeration effect (for enterprises) or concentration effect (for industries). Always economically backward Latvia's region (Latgale region) is not with the lowest productivity calculated by the GDP per 1 km 2 of a region's territoryby this indicator less successful in Latvia is Vidzeme region. But by the earnings index, calculated taking into account the sectoral structure of employment in a region, exactly the Latgale region as usually occupies the last place in Latvia, and the Riga regionthe first one. To calculate the efficiency of Latvia's regions, the authors relied on neoclassical growth models, which take into account the main classical factors of production -labor, land, capital. By the efficiency in Latvia the Riga region leads expectantly, almost 2 times exceeding the efficiency of Pieriga region, and more than 3 times,the efficiency of Latgale region. But lowest efficiency in Latvia is not in the Latgale region, but once more in Vidzeme region.

“…A universal one, which refers to scientific attitude, based on the results achieved by knowledge and upbringing. This notion can be defined in a much broader sense as the total of values and opinions about the environment and, in a narrower (more axiological) sense, as the state of knowledge, ideas and views of people about the role of the environment in the life of the society and as the knowledge about the instruments and means of managing, shaping and preserving the environment (Selivanova-Fyodorova, Komarova, Lonska, Mietule, 2019;Strong, 1996;Houston, Bradham, 2008).…”

One of important factors of attractiveness of a region is its natural environment, namely a set of natural elements which are of interest to a tourist. In terms of economy, it is a source of raw materials and energy, it ensures geographical space, business opportunities and a place to live and relax. The aim of the research included in this article is to indicate the possibility of using synthetic measurement to recognize spatial disparities of the natural environment on the basis of selected diagnostic features of 102 municipalities of the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship. The data presented in this article refer to 2009, 2012 and 2015 and come from the Local Data Bank. The following variables were selected: the total use of household water per one inhabitant, the distribution network per 100 km2 - water pipe system, the distribution network per 100 km2 – sewage system, woodland area, areas protected by law, protected monuments. The elements indicated refer to entities which function and operate in a territorial unit. The methods presented enable us to identify areas of human life (or human impact on the environment) of higher/lower efficiency (which depends on the level of synthetic measure) and, then, programme their support from public funds within the framework of the regional policy.

“…The problem of investment appeal assessment has a sufficient theoretical basis. Investment in conjunction with regional development issues is discussed in Doussard et al (2017), Mas-Verdu et al (2010), Takhumova et al (2018), Samygin et al (2017), Galanina et al (2017), Ohotina et al (2018), Baltgailis (2019), Tvaronavičienė (2019), Selivanova-Fyodorova et al (2019).…”

The study is aimed at assessing the impact of several indicators of investment appeal, namely, domestic research and development expenditure and the rate of employment, on the inflow of investment to a region. The Russian regions' data were used to run factorial analysis of variance of investment in fixed assets against the variance of R&D expenditure and rate of employment: factors' influence was estimated significant with a greater impact from domestic R&D expenditure on the capital expenditure. The study proves that investors, when making decisions about investing their funds, pay attention primarily to the extent of intellectual potential development in a region, rather than to labor availability. Consequently, the strong influence of this factor on the inflow of investment makes it possible to conclude that regions that have reached the greatest level of intellectual potential development have every reason to be the most attractive for investors.
