Regional development and quality of economic growth
The paper considers the issues of the spatial development of Russia and a tendency of focusing the economic development in few regions. Analysis of how the capital and labor intensities of GDP change in regions is given in the second part of the article. The third part explores the institutional changes caused by further centralization of governance taking place in Russia, particularly the issue of the necessity the federal and regional authorities to exercise mutual control over each other. The conclusion is that the federal center has failed yet to build an effective system of control at the regional level over the spending of budgetary resources.
