Sources of value added municipalities of the Murmansk region

The purpose of this article is to develop a methodological approach to assessing the gross value added of municipalities based on the System of National Accounts (SNA), as well as testing the approach using the example of the Murmansk region. The paper summarizes Russian and foreign experience in methodological approaches to determining value added at the level of municipalities. The authors have proposed a methodological approach to calculating the gross value added of territories based on the use of regional GRP income generation tables and their correlation with the data on the accrued wages of all municipalities of the subject of the Russian Federation according to a special method, by types of economic activity. Using the example of the Murmansk region, the authors carried out calculations of the GVA of territories for 2013-2016. Using the data obtained, the territories were grouped into several groups based on the leading structure of added value. Based on the results of this work, conclusions are drawn: on the existing territorial model of the monocentricity of the development of territorial entities of the region; the significant dependence of most municipalities on one industry (type of activity), which determines sharp changes in the value added of a number of territories; significant impact on the formation of the GVA of the region of types of activities, the financing of which is determined by budget sources.
