Quantitative Assessment of the Socioeconomic Potential of Advanced Development Territories of Regions of the Far Eastern Federal District

Abstract

— The article provides a quantitative assessment of the socioeconomic potential of the territories of advanced development (TAD) of the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD). The key indicators of the TAD of the Far Eastern Federal District are considered, their contribution to the dynamics of investments in fixed assets and employment of the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District is determined, groups of regions of the Far Eastern Federal District are identified according to the degree of influence of the TAD on the parameters of social, economic and investment development, the industry specialization of the TAD is analyzed, the contribution of the TAD to investment and employment is assessed in the economy of the Far Eastern Federal District until 2024.

Tools For Strategic Development Of The Far East

“…Currently, 22 TADs have been created on the territory of the Far Eastern Federal District (hereinafter referred to as the Far Eastern Federal District), when in 2016 there were only 14 of them. It is worth noting that in comparison with 2016, the number of residents of the TAD increased almost 5 times (from 111 residents to 532), the number of new jobs planned to be created -4.2 times (from 22,256 jobs to 94,031) (Pankratov et al, 2021). However, these indicators do not allow us to fully assess the effectiveness of the tool used in the Far East, since this growth is partly due to the accession of two subjects, the Republic of Buryatia and the Trans-Baikal Territory.…”

Assessment of the Impacts of Climate Change on the Russian Arctic Economy (including the Energy Industry)

“…Within the context of the problems and development directions of the Russian economy, the issues that were considered in the framework of the study were characterized by particular relevance, since the current climate change in the Arctic is occurring up to several times faster than that across the whole planet, according to various estimates. Another equally significant reason is the strategic importance of the Arctic territories for the economy of the Russian Federation [46]. Taking into account modern economic realities and positioning, the AZRF territories could provide an additional source of economic growth that has not yet been fully implemented, for which it is necessary to develop and implement an effective system of measures that are aimed at maximizing the positive economic effects of climate change and minimizing the predicted risks, costs and damage.…”
