Eastern vector of the Russia energy policy: evaluation of the effects based on spatial shift-share analysis

The authors consider the changes in the fuel and energy complex of the Russian Far East occurred under the influence of the Eastern vector in the energy policy. Based on the employment and GVA regional complex data, the authors carry out a traditional and spatial shift-share analysis for the period of 2012-2019. The extractive industries of the fuel and energy complex in the Far East are distinguished by positive competitive effects. It is shown that the most important factor in the formation of competitive effects are gains/losses in interregional competition, and not spatial externalities.
