ՀՀ տարածքային անհամաչափության գնահատում և վերլուծություն / Assessment and Analysis of the RA Territorial Disparity

Abstract

In the paper, through the authors’ calculations of the gross regional output at basic prices, the disproportionate development of the RA territory in 2008-2020 was analysed and assessed according to the regions of the Republic of Armenia and the city of Yerevan. As a result the patterns and features of the territorial disparity were revealed, as well as the specialization of the regions was evaluated according to the economic activity degree and the existence of a regression relationship between the increase (decrease) and economic growth (decline) of the RA territorial development variation coefficient in 2008-2020 was revealed through the econometric model. As a result of the analysis of the indicators characterizing the territorial asymmetry, a high level of asymmetry was recorded both between the city of Yerevan and the regions, as well as between the regions, which was due to the degree of specialization of individual regions according to the types of activities and the share of these types of activities in the RA economy.
