Spatial externalities as a source of economic growth

On the base of the Russian data, we undertook an empirical testing of a model where the spatial externalities generated by regional growths are considered as a source for development of neighboring territories. As our results show, such externalities do affect the other regions' growth rates but the character of such influence in the western Russian regions differs from that in the eastern ones.
