The impact of economic crime on attracting investment in the regions of the Russian Far East

Economic crime is a factor influencing investment attraction. To identify the relationship between economic crime and investment, the Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated. It showed that a linear relationship is observed only in some regions of the Far Eastern Federal District. The lack of a linear relationship between economic crime and investment is probably due to the presence of sharp spikes in crime or investment. This leads to a distortion of the picture, and can also speak of some unaccounted factor, which makes it difficult to make an objective assessment.
