Author(s):  
D. A. Izotov

In the long term, the regions of the Russian Far East traded more intensively with the domestic market than with foreign countries. The low values of trade intensity the Russian Far Eastern regions with NEA countries was compensated by low transport costs. This circumstance determined the export orientation of the Russian Far East in favor of nearby large foreign markets.

Based on complied statistical data, the scale of trade of the Russia’s Far Eastern regions with the local, macro-regional, domestic and foreign markets is determined. The assessment of the trade intensity in the Russia’s Far Eastern regions was carried out by comparing the results obtained within the framework of log-linear and multiplicative forms of gravity model. The estimation shows a deviation in the trade intensity of the Russia’s Far Eastern regions in favor of the national market as compared to the foreign one. Comparisons of the obtained values showed that the loglinear form, relative to the multiplicative one, significantly overestimated the impact of transportation costs on trade and the contiguity; while at the same time underestimating the values of intensity for trade interaction of Russian Far East with the domestic and foreign markets. The estimates obtained using multiplicative form, suggest a suppression of the comparative intensity of trade of the Russia’s Far Eastern regions with the macro-regional, domestic and foreign markets in dynamics, which can be explained not only by the costs of such interactions but also, by the concentration of trade relations within the Russia’s Far Eastern regions as a result of trade deviation in favor of the local markets.

ntroduction. The socio-economic development of the Russian Far East is one of the most important strategic directions of Russia, corresponding to the national interests and development vector. For this vector to be transmitted to the regional and sectoral level, it needs strategic opportunities, relevant in the context of multiple trends and limited resource base. Energy security includes reliable energy consumption and efficiency. It ensures the socio-economic progress of developing economies and emerging-market countries. The Russian Far East has accumulated enough scientific, technical, industrial, and production potential to use gas industry as a long-term driver of socio-economic development. The research objective was to analyze and systematize the main interest groups focused on the development of gas industry in the Russian Far East. Study objects and methods. The study was based on the theory of strategy and the methodology of strategizing developed by Professor V.L. Kvint, as well as on authentic methods of industrial strategizing. Results and discussion. The article introduces a concept scheme that illustrates the relationship between regional and sectoral gas strategies of the Russian Far East, as well as their place in the general system of strategies. The author systematized the main national, social, regional, industrial, corporate, and international interests. The analysis confirmed the long-term interest of the gas industry in the Far Eastern Federal District at each of these levels. Conclusion. In the Russian Far East, gas industry will establish strong vertical and horizontal relationships in the system of strategies, thus producing a multiplicative effect on the socio-economic development of the whole Far Eastern Federal District and its regions.

Object of research: resource potential, coastal and industrial fishing in the Primorye subzone. The purpose of the work is to assess the state of stock and fishing in the Primorye subzone. Result: According to long-term averaged data (2000-2018), more than 200 thousand tons of aquatic biological resources are undercought annually in the Primorye subzone. Today, the coast of the Primorye subzone is the most populated and infrastructural developed in the Russian Far East. The paper analyzes the state of living resources and fisheries. The reason for the low development is mainly the imperfection of management, as a result of which coastal fishing does not receive proper attention and development.

The article presents an analysis of migration processes (interregional, with the CIS countries and far abroad) that determine the dynamics of demographic development of the Far Eastern Federal District in 2018-2019. (within the new borders of the macroregion, taking into account the Republic of Buryatia and the Trans-Baikal Krai). The analysis of statistical data reveals the peculiarities of the current migration situation in the macroregion, and shows the risks in the long-term formation of the demographic potential of the Russian Far East. Based on the data obtained, proposals are formulated to attract and consolidate the population of the macroregion.

Recently, the Russian Far East has been receiving close attention from the government of the Russian Federation. Accelerated economic development of the Far Eastern regions requires trade intensification with foreign and domestic markets, which implies a reduction of various barriers. The study aims to assess the external and internal trade barriers of the Russian Far East using a consistent dataset and relevant econometric model for estimations. The assessment of trade barriers, expressed as values of the relative trade intensity and transport costs in the framework of modern gravity models, confirmed the trade bias of the Russian Far East in favour of the domestic market in the long term. High values of relative transport costs were offset by a high relative trade intensity between the Russian Far East and the domestic market. The conducted analysis shows that the reduction of external trade barriers between the Russian Far East and foreign markets can significantly increase their turnover. The obtained estimates revealed a trend of linking the regions of the Russian Far East to the domestic market due to the barrier reduction in the form of transport costs. This study can be further developed, as the presented methodology for qualitative assessment of internal and external barriers can be applied to analyse the costs of trade in commodity markets, to decompose export and import barriers, as well as to determine the potential for expanding regional trade with foreign countries.

Subject. The article addresses the tax liabilities of taxpayers registered in the subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District, which should be paid to the consolidated budget of the Russian Federation, as well as the factors of the said debt growth. Objectives. Our aim is to assess the level of tax debt of regions of the Russian Far East and identify the correlation between the factors and the amount of tax debt. Methods. The study rests on methods of analysis, generalization, grouping, systematization, and the correlation and regression analysis. Results. We analyzed the level of tax debt for the entire Far Eastern Federal District and by region, identified factors affecting the growth of tax debt therein. The paper assesses the structure of tax debt by type of taxes and activity of debtors. The unveiled factors may help control changes in the size of tax debt in the Russian Far East and develop effective measures to improve the debt collection. Conclusions. The study shows that there is an increase in the tax debt in the regions of the Russian Far East, in the VAT in particular. The factor analysis revealed that the volume of sales of wholesale enterprises, investment in fixed capital, the consumer price index have the largest impact on the amount of tax debt.

The present paper analyses migration policy measures implemented in the Russian Far East, namely, State Programme to Assist the Voluntary Resettlement of Compatriots Living Abroad to the Russian Federation, the Far-Eastern Hectare Programme, establishment of Priority Development Areas (PDAs) and territories with a special regime of economic activity. The synthetic control method was applied to quantitatively assess how the adopted measures affect the migration outflow from regions of the Far Eastern Federal District. According to this method and relevant statistics, constituent entities of the Far Eastern Federal District were compared with control regions of the Siberian Federal District, where these policy tools have not been introduced. Comparable areas had similar socio-economic development trends and migration flows in the period preceding the implementation of the state programmes. To analyse the impact of migration policy changes in 2011–2018, the difference between outflow values of the Far Eastern and synthetic control regions was calculated. The results showed that the average estimated values are negative and significantly different from zero. This indicates a positive effect of new migration mitigation measures on reducing the outflow from the Russian Far East. Future research will separately assess the effectiveness of each migration policy tool implemented in the Far Eastern Federal District.
