Abstract

The purpose of this article is to develop the tools for assessment of the background for interregional economic cooperation. Analysis of the effective interregional intractability has been carried out by the authors of the article by means of economic and statistical method, on materials of the Siberian Federal District, which includes 12 regions. For the comparative characteristics of the regions the quantified, recognized by national statistics specific indicator have been chosen: population concentration index per 1 sq. km. of territory, gross regional product per capita, number of students, receiving higher education, per 10,000 persons of the population, the average per capita income. Based on the analysis of specified indicators, the authors have developed the structure of regional integrative relations, which determines the qualitative characteristics and quantitative indicators of the interregional economic cooperation areas. The spheres, outlined by the authors, make it possible to ensure a unified approach to the organization of interregional interplay processes. Quantitative indicators can be obtained from official statistical data, as well as official websites of establishments, organizations, regional and interregional structures, providing corresponding services, or calculated with their use. Proposed by the authors qualitative characteristics and quantitative indicators secure a systematic approach to the study of interregional economic cooperation processes, which allows us to regard them as tools, used for the creation and effective executive decision-making at the regional and national levels
