Manufacturing export of Russian Regions: looking for the Most Dynamic Markets and industries
https://doi.org/10.32609/0042-8736-2015-10-132-150
Abstract
This article presents the analysis of product and destination variety of exports in Russian regions in 2002-2010. In particular, it considers those geographical markets and product groups that are most often revealed in the export structure. The analysis allows to identify five clusters of manufacturing industries which products are intensively exported by Russian regions. Accordingly, these industries may become the basis of non-primary export expansion in the Russian economy. Based on the analysis presented in the paper, the authors propose a new approach to regional groupings in Russia that synthesizes the characteristics of regions associated with the type of socio-economic development and qualitative characteristics of the export dynamics.
