Identification of concentration points of finance and investment resources in the regions

Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to assess the sufficiency of the financial and investment resources of the territory to increase its potential, and the possibility of the overflow of this resource to neighboring socio-economic systems. The study substantiates the need to identify the resource potential of the regions in order to determine opportunities for their development and reduce dependence on external economic and political influence. In the paper, in particular, the sufficiency of financial and investment resources of the central federal district is determined, which include the production factor “capital”, including investments in fixed assets, costs for research and development and technological innovations. The research method is based on the normalization, correlation and factor analysis of the initial data, and consists in calculating the accumulation norms and coefficients of significance of the selected resources. The results of identifying concentration points can be applied in the future to assess the prospects for economic development of the regions of the central federal district. The results of research can be useful to federal and regional executive authorities for the formulation and adjustment of the planned development strategy.
