Typology of Russian Regions Based on Inflationary Development Characteristics and Their Impact on Real Monetary Incomes of the Population

The aim of the study is to typologize regions depending on the impact of their inflationary development patterns on the real monetary incomes of the population and to develop recommendations for the transformation of real economic growth into an increase in living standards in Russian regions. The main objectives of the study are to assess the degree of impact of the inflationary development of the regions on the real economic growth of the country and, on this basis, to determine priority measures to ensure the positive dynamics of monetary incomes of the population. The study was based on comparative and retrospective analysis methods, which used gross regional product (GRP) indicators as the sum of gross value added for 2016-2022 in the economic sectors of 82 regions of the Russian Federation in current and constant (2016) prices. The quality of Russian regions' GRP growth was characterized according to its inflationary degree, which allowed identifying regions with exceptionally inflationary development. The Russian regions were ranked according to the specific values of GRP inflationary growth (per capita). The regions that play a significant role in the inflationary development of Russia have been identified. These regions are characterized by the most pronounced inflationary characteristics of GRP dynamics and high specific values of GRP inflationary growth (per capita). It is shown that as a result of the impact of inflationary factors, these regions do not guarantee an increase in real monetary incomes of the population adequate to the real growth of GRP. In this regard, recommendations were proposed for the transformation of real economic growth into an improvement in the standard of living in the regions of the Russian Federation.
