The impact of sectoral polarization shifts on economic growth in the regional aspect

Abstract

Economic science has been studying polarization features in the socio-economic development of territories for a long time. However, the current state of economic, political, social and other processes contributes to the strengthening of the gap in key economic indicators in the global space, subjects and industries provoking a strong asymmetry of socio-economic development of the regions of Russia. The purpose of the research is to study trends in the manifestation of polarization shifts and explain spatial heterogeneity in order to form conceptual approaches to the qualitative achievement of equilibrium in a single economic space. The objectives of the study are closely related to the study of the emerging imbalance in the strategic development programs of the subjects, the level and sources of financial flows, the distribution of labor resources, the level of the social situation and other important areas of economic activity of the territories. To conduct research, we compiled approaches to the analysis of indicators of socio-economic development, changing methods and approaches to the formation of key indicators, identified concentration zones in the intersubject space of the leading complexes of the country's economy. Fundamental research and scientific methods confirm the manifestation of the phenomenon of increasing spatial polarization characteristic of developing countries, in view of the active search and use of competitive advantages to stimulate the economic development of their territories. The domestic economy, traditionally characterized by a high level of spatial polarization, has faced a significant increase in this phenomenon in recent decades. The result of the research is the formation of a new concept for the development of tools and mechanisms for smoothing the socio-economic disunity of the territory, acting as a target for the systemic development of the economic space. New mechanisms should be incorporated into the roadmaps of strategic development of territories. We have studied not only the specifics of transformational processes leading to polarizing shifts in the sectoral and regional economies, but also identified the priority tasks of leveling asymmetric manifestations of socio-economic development. At the same time, current trends in the distribution of accents in the study of classical indicators of the analysis of socio-economic development of regions were formed and trends reflecting the current state of the world economic system were proposed for study.
