Abstract
The paper focuses on regional economic integration provided by interregional railway freight. The analysis reveals two realized models of spatial integration: “all-with-all” and “hauberk”. A set of indicators for regional integration evaluation is proposed and verified with statistical data. The ranking of regions by their integration performance is presented. It discovers a macro-region of higher integration impact that consists of 5 neighboring regions of the Ural and Volga federal districts. Special government support is suggested for macro-regions of this kind.
