METHODOLOGY FOR ESTIMATING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE RUSSIAN ARCTIC SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE TAKING INTO ACCOUNT REGIONAL SPECIFICITIES

Abstract. The article substantiates the need to take into account regional specifics to assess the effectiveness of the implementation of measures of the preferential regime of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation. The relevance of the study is determined by the need for a comprehensive assessment of the trends and results of applying this regime in the existing conditions. The purpose of the study is to develop a methodology for assessing the effectiveness of the preferential regime of the Russian Arctic. The proposed methodology is based on the use of a system of indicators that allow characterizing various aspects of the effectiveness of the preferential regime, rating methods and the formation of integral indicators aimed at identifying regional features, and correlation analysis (Spearman's rank correlation coefficient). The latter allows us to conclude that the processes within the regional economies are complex and co-directional, which determine the obtained effectiveness assessments. General rating assessments of the results of applying the preferential regime in the Arctic territories of Russia have been formed. The first place in the rating in terms of the intensity of its implementation is occupied by the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, the second place is shared by the Arctic territories of the Republic of Karelia and the Arkhangelsk Region, and the third place is taken by the Murmansk Region. The Nenets and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrugs close the rating. The position in the consolidated rating does not reflect the general level of economic development of the Arctic regions, but speaks of the contribution of processes mediated by the preferential regime of the Russian Arctic. The analysis of the correlation between the developed indicators made it possible to establish the complex nature of the impact of the preferential regime on economic processes in the Arctic regions. The study of co-direction based on integral indicators made it possible to establish that there is a spatial mismatch due to the difference in the relationships between the indicators under consideration in different regions. Scientific novelty lies in the development and testing of the above-described methodology, as well as the identification of regional specifics of the implementation of the preferential regime. The practical significance of the work lies in additional argumentation of the need for systemic monitoring of the regional specifics of the implementation of preferential regime measures, which can become the basis for the development of additional local measures aimed at improving efficiency.
