Abstract

Economic complexity, according to the results of various studies at the country level, can be used as an indicator of economic development: more developed countries usually have a higher level of economic complexity. For Russian regions, the relationship between economic complexity, the level of innovative development and investment attractiveness is also revealed. This paper identifies the correlation between the complexity of export and the level of economic development for Russian regions and their separated more homogeneous groups. The results obtained by the author for regions of Russia contradict the rule identified for countries. For all Russian regions, there is a slight inverse correlation between the complexity of export and the value of per capita GRP. A slight positive correlation was found only for regions with a low export-to-GRP ratio and a high level of economic complexity. Such results are explained by the simple structure of Russian export, because of this the main recipients of export income are regions with a lower level of economic complexity — mainly oil and gas producing regions, as well as capitals that act as intermediaries.

俄罗斯不同类型地区经济复杂性与经济发展的相关性

经济复杂性，根据国家层面的各种研究结果，可以作为经济发展的一个指标:越发达的国家通常具有较高的经济复杂性水平。对于俄罗斯地区，经济复杂性、创新发展水平和投资吸引力之间的关系也得到了揭示。本文确定了出口复杂性与俄罗斯地区及其分离的更同质群体的经济发展水平之间的相关性。作者对俄罗斯各地区所得到的结果与对国家所确定的规则相矛盾。对俄罗斯所有地区来说，出口复杂性与人均国内生产总值之间存在轻微的负相关关系。只有出口占国内生产总值比率低、经济复杂程度高的地区才存在轻微的正相关。这样的结果可以用俄罗斯出口的简单结构来解释，因为出口收入的主要接受者是经济复杂程度较低的地区-主要是石油和天然气产区，以及充当中介的资本。

期刊介绍： Key Journal''s objectives: bring together economists of different schools of thought across the Russian Federation; strengthen ties between Academy institutes, educational establishments and economic research centers; improve the quality of Russian economic research and education; integrate economic science and education; speed up the integration of Russian economic science in the global mainstream of economic research. The Journal publishes both theoretical and empirical articles, devoted to all aspects of economic science, which are of interest for wide range of specialists. It welcomes high-quality interdisciplinary projects and economic studies employing methodologies from other sciences such as physics, psychology, political science, etc. Special attention is paid to analyses of processes occurring in the Russian economy. Decisions about publishing of articles are based on a double-blind review process. Exceptions are short notes in the section "Hot Topic", which is usually formed by special invitations and after considerations of the Editorial Board. The only criterion to publish is the quality of the work (original approach, significance and substance of findings, clear presentation style). No decision to publish or reject an article will be influenced by the author belonging to whatever public movement or putting forward ideas advocated by whatever political movement. The Journal comes out four times a year, each issue consisting of 12 to 15 press sheets. Now it is published only in Russian. The English translations of the Journal issues are posted on the Journal website as open access resources.
