Abstract

Agglomeration effects are an essential element of business decision-making on the location of projects, but in the eastern territories of Russia their significance and influence are questioned. The southern industrial belt of Siberia, including the Omsk, Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Kemerovo, Altai and part of the Krasnoyarsk region, has a combination of development characteristics that can contribute to the manifestation of agglomeration forces. The aim of the study was to obtain quantitative estimates of the impact of the agglomeration effects on the development of the region. The study was based on information about enterprises presented in the SPARK-Interfax database for the period 2019–2020. The analysis methods included maps representing the spatial distribution of the average for the municipalities level of output and profit of the enterprises, as well as an econometric analysis of the influence of the factor of remoteness from the regional capital on the performance of the firm. Regression estimates for individual regions confirmed the importance of agglomeration effects either for revenue or for the profitability of enterprises. Average estimates for enterprises of the entire South Siberian macro-region showed a significant contribution of the agglomeration effects to both output and profit, reducing the distance to the regional center by 2 times increases revenue by 1.6%, and profits by about 5.1%. Confirmation of the significance the of agglomeration forces and their positive impact on the economic and financial characteristics of business in the regions of southern Siberia are the arguments in favor of initiating and implementing public and private infrastructure projects that might improve the transport network and reduce barriers for the interaction of enterprises and population

西伯利亚南部地区集聚效应的意义评价

集聚效应是企业对项目选址决策的重要因素，但在俄罗斯东部地区，集聚效应的重要性和影响受到质疑。包括鄂木斯克、新西伯利亚、托木斯克、克麦罗沃、阿尔泰和克拉斯诺亚尔斯克部分地区在内的西伯利亚南部产业带，具有组合发展特征，有利于集聚力量的显现。研究的目的是定量估计集聚效应对该地区发展的影响。该研究基于SPARK-Interfax数据库中2019-2020年期间的企业信息。分析方法包括绘制城市产出和企业利润平均水平的空间分布图，以及对远离区域资本对企业绩效影响的计量经济学分析。对个别地区的回归估计证实了集聚效应对企业收入或盈利能力的重要性。对整个南西伯利亚宏观区域企业的平均估算表明，集聚效应对产出和利润都有显著贡献，到区域中心的距离缩短2倍，收入增加1.6%，利润增加约5.1%。确认集聚力量的重要性及其对南西伯利亚地区商业的经济和金融特征的积极影响是支持启动和实施公共和私人基础设施项目的论据，这些项目可能会改善交通网络，减少企业和人口互动的障碍

期刊介绍： Networks and Spatial Economics (NETS) is devoted to the mathematical and numerical study of economic activities facilitated by human infrastructure, broadly defined to include technologies pertinent to information, telecommunications, the Internet, transportation, energy storage and transmission, and water resources. Because the spatial organization of infrastructure most generally takes the form of networks, the journal encourages submissions that employ a network perspective. However, non-network continuum models are also recognized as an important tradition that has provided great insight into spatial economic phenomena; consequently, the journal welcomes with equal enthusiasm submissions based on continuum models. The journal welcomes the full spectrum of high quality work in networks and spatial economics including theoretical studies, case studies and algorithmic investigations, as well as manuscripts that combine these aspects. Although not devoted exclusively to theoretical studies, the journal is "theory-friendly". That is, well thought out theoretical analyses of important network and spatial economic problems will be considered without bias even if they do not include case studies or numerical examples.
