Type: article
Abstract: The article proposes an alternative method for determining the competitive specialization of the country’s regions based on localization coefficients. The considered methodology makes it possible to establish promising types of economic activities that show their contribution to the competitiveness of the region. The result of the application of the methodology is to determine the types of competitive specialization of the country’s regions. In addition, the methodology makes it possible to generate statistical aggregates of competing regions for the dominant types of economic activity in the structure of the region’s economy. The approach under consideration has been tested on Rosstat statistics on the gross value added of the country’s regions and their sectoral GRP structure for 2021. According to the calculated localization coefficients, regions with competitive specialization in different types of economic activity have been identified. Using the example of the Amur Region, a statistical set of competing regions has been formed.
