RSA Russia Special Session: Regional and Urban Development in Russia and other CIS countries: Comparative Studies

Regions (and cities/metropolitan areas) of Russia and other big CIS countries vary significantly not only by their level of economic and social development, but also by rates of economic growth and by factor endowment. Empirical studies of regional/urban development patterns in Russia/CIS countries and analysis of factors, influencing development of different types of cities and regions, are in focus of this section. Such studies, obviously, should be based on economic theory and proved by empirical evidence. Comparative studies of Russian/CIS countries regions may be amended explicitly or implicitly by comparisons with regional diversity and development factors in other countries.
