Abstract
The paper presents an empirical typology of the regions of the Russian Federation
(RF). Based on indicators defining the socio-economic situation of all 89 regions
(federation subjects) of the RF, the paper allows for a type-wise characterisation of
regions identified according to their outstanding economy-related problems. Using
a procedure for region's ordering within multidimensional space (region's ranking)
in relation to the base year 1992 and within year-to-year series (1993,1994) a
clustering of all RF regions according to their principal type and problem character
is obtained. The resulting typification provides a methodological and procedural
basis for monitoring the socio-economic situation in the regions of the RF, can be
helpful in preparing scientific foundations of a comprehensive trageted government
program and presents an element for further studies on regional development in
the Russian Federation.
