Factor Analysis of Fixed Capital Investments: Regional Aspect

Abstract

This paper aims to develop a multifactor model of the impact of attracting investment in the fixed capital of a region. To this end, the authors conducted a factor analysis of regional investment attractiveness. Correlation and regression analysis served as the methodological basis for determining the qualitative dependencies of regional fixed capital investments. Testing of the examined model allowed the authors to identify dependencies between controlled variables (factors that can be influenced at the regional level) and the resulting indicator (investment in the fixed capital of a region) for the Russian federal subjects. The significance of the model lies in the possibility of developing practical measures (focused on specific conditions of territorial functioning) to improve regional investment policies.
