https://doi.org/10.32609/0042-8736-2015-10-109-131
Abstract
The method for evaluating protectionism rate in regional public purchases is developed. It is tested with data for 2011-2013. The presented regional rankings of protectionism show that high-level protectionism covers a majority of regions accumulated steadily about 80% of total regional public purchases’ volume. The federal contract system is considered as an instrument of public regional policy that could contribute to the interregional trade and strengthen internal economic space. Main forms of allowable protectionism in regional public purchases are identified (regional list of protected products, territorial price preferences) and suggested to be legalized.
