Structural and Dynamic Analysis of Foreign Direct Investments: Regional Aspect

Abstract

The paper considers the foreign direct investment (FDI) in the capital of Russian companies in the regional context. The subject of the research is the problem of collecting and unification of the information on attracted investment volumes for subsequent macroeconomic analysis. Within the framework of the study, the authors used such general scientific methods as systematization, induction and deduction, synthesis, as well as structuraldynamic and other types of analysis. The problems of attracting FDI in the economy and their uniform distribution across the regions of the Russian Federation currently remain relevant, and the structure of incoming FDI is highly deformed with a pronounced concentration of most of them in a limited range of regions with a strong geographic and sectoral uneven distribution. The results of the study, which have theoretical and applied significance, can be used for the investment attractiveness of Russian regions.
