Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of spatial inequality of regions caused
by centripetal or centrifugal forces because of agglomeration effects and
interaction costs. It corresponds with the main idea of new economic
geography. A differentiated approach to regional development strategizing is
proposed in the study as a tool for reducing the level of spatial imbalance.
Herein the use of technological arbitrage (catching-up) strategy is proposed
for peripheral regions by strengthening interregional interaction. In the
paper, two hypotheses are investigated: (1) The economic growth of
territories, caused by industry diversification, positive externalities from
Research and Development, the quality of human capital, which are typical of
the ?center? type of regions and (2) The formation of a unified
macroeconomic space is possible due to strategies of technological arbitrage
(catchingup strategy) for peripheral regions. Its implementation is possible
through innovation, industrial-technological, and trade-technological
complementarity development of peripheral regions with the central regions.
The research methods are: panel regression with fixed effects, Data
Envelopment Analysis method, and Malmquist Productivity Index, paired
interregional complementarity indices. The study focuses on 10 regions of
Siberian Federal District in the Russia, which differ in scale, structure,
and level of innovative economic development. The study results confirm the
possibility of reducing the level of spatial inequality using catching-up
strategies and innovation complementarity of the regions. These strategies
proved only for technical efficiency leading regions with high index of
complementarity. In regions with a low complementarity index and different
industry profile, large-scale interregional cooperation has not been
confirmed.
