Abstract:

The article is dedicated to the evolution of spatial concentration of the processing industry enterprises in the Russian Federation. The spatial concentration degree is appraised by Duranton-Overman method. In the article we discuss cross-country comparisons through the example of the modern Russian Federation, Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic in 1989 and a number of foreign countries. In the post-Soviet years, Russian industries underwent a considerable spatial contraction and a sharp increase of spatial concentration measures. At that, large cities are the centers of attraction of industrial employment. The initial (Soviet) structure of local economies is not a sufficient factor to explain the employment in industries in Russian cities at the present time.
