Industrial Parks in Russia: Conceptual Development of Projects

Abstract

In this article a theoretical framework is presented addressing the questions of efficiency of industrialThe structural nature of economic growth determines the irregular character of economic development. This trend is particularly obvious on the macrolevel when comparing growth rates of specific countries and groups of countries whose accelerated growth was to a great extent determined by historical factors. A perfect example could be Eastern Asian countries with growth rates exceeding the worldwide average in the second half of the XXth century (Fig. 1).However, such situation is observed not only on the macrolevel, but also on the regional and municipal levels. A good example of economic activity concentration is Japan. In 1990 Japan accounted for 72 % of the GDP and 67 % of industrial production of Eastern Asia, occupying only 3.5 % of the whole territory with 7.9 % of the total population. However, inside Japan itself most economic activity fell on the following five prefectures: Tokyo and Kanagawa, Aichi, Osaka and Hyogo. Although their territory makes up only 5.2 % of the whole territory of Japan with 33 % of the population, these prefectures produce 40 % of the Japanese GDP. Thus, these regions, constituting only 0.18 % of the whole area of Eastern Asia, accounted for 29 % of the regional GDP in 1990. [1] The reasons for such disproportional economic development; the factors involved; and the external effects caused by such disproportions are studied by regional economics and in particular by agglomeration theory.The key reason for high concentration of economic activity in specific areas lies in the positive external effects, which foster industrial efficiency in these regions. There are two main types of external effects: the localization effect, which reflects the positive effects revealed by the growth of economic

Economic Impact of Industrial Segment in the Selected Country

“…With reference to development, individual applied government policies were investigated with consequent author's findings and conclusions. Russian industrial parks represented goal in another work that assembled [22]. Economic productiveness, progress and prospects were reflected.…”

Institutional effects in development of regional innovational infrastructure

“…Very often the prototype of industrial park is considered to be special economic areas which appeared after the Federal law dated July 22, 2005, No. 116-FZ "Regarding special economic areas in the RF" in 2006 (Sandler and Kuznetsov, 2015), while the existing standard has been developed since 2010 (Overview of the Russian industrial parks, 2015).…”

Revitalization of Depressed Industrial Areas Based on Ecological Industrial Parks

“…The construction of the industrial park began in 1968, and in 1974 the production of the first resident was launched. Table 3 gives a brief characterization of the individual projects and the creation of industrial parks on the territory of the Russian Federation [14][15][16][17][18].…”
