Interregional interaction in the industrial sector of the economy: assessment methods and intensification factors

Summary/Abstract: This article presents the results of a study of interregional interaction in the industrial sector of the economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The authors propose a methodical approach to assessing the interaction of regions through the cargo traffics of industrial goods. The most important parameters reflecting the intensity of interregional interaction are determined, and an index is proposed, on the basis of which it is possible to control both the level of interregional interaction in general and each parameter separately. The substantiation of the factors influencing the level and intensity of interregional economic interaction is given. Based on a comparative analysis of the structures of regional economic systems and cargo traffics of industrial goods in Kazakhstan, it was revealed that the highest intensity of interaction is observed between regions with a similar economic structure. At the same time, such indicators as the value of the gross regional product and the level of economic diversification do not significantly affect either the volume of interaction or the number of connections.
