The spatial dimension in the development of transport infrastructure in Russian regions
Abstract
The development of transport infrastructure is a key factor for the economic growth of the whole country and its individual territories. The objectives for the development of transport infrastructure in the regions are determined by the importance of the indicators that have been achieved and are planned, which reflect the transport availability and accessibility of the country’s territories. This article focuses on the development of methodological approaches to assessing the transport availability and accessibility of the territory of the Russian Federation from the perspective of its constituent entities and federal districts based on non-linear coefficients. The authors explain the results of the calculations of the regional dimension in the development of transport infrastructure in Russia based on the Engel and Holz coefficients. The results of the study can be used in further econometric assessments of the influence of various factors on the overall socio-economic development of the regions.
