论文摘要
这项研究致力于评估乌克兰的区域经济差异，在该地区经济不平等是该国最近在其中期和长期发展中面临的关键问题，即使在短期内也是如此。我们分析了区域经济增长的决定因素，主要是工业和农业生产，人口，人力资本，生育能力，移民和地区政府支出。使用2004年至2020年的面板数据估计，对于乌克兰的27个地区，我们的结果表明，乌克兰地区之间的差距已经扩大了过去的二十年。自然资源分配，农业和工业生产，政府支出和移民可以解释差异。我们表明，地区政府支出高度集中在基辅，其他地区，尤其是西方地区的潜力，需要充分使用。此外，尽管具有历史和经济机会，但在过去的二十年中，东部地区的发展很少。在这些差异中，效率低下且不一致的区域政策发挥了至关重要的作用。
This research is devoted to assessing regional economic disparities in Ukraine, where regional economic inequality is a crucial issue the country faces in its medium and long-term development, recently, even in the short term. We analyze the determinants of regional economic growth, mainly industrial and agricultural productions, population, human capital, fertility, migration, and regional government expenditures. Using panel data estimations from 2004 to 2020 for 27 regions of Ukraine, our results show that the gaps between regions in Ukraine have widened last two decades. Natural resource distribution, agricultural and industrial productions, government spending, and migration can explain the disparities. We show that regional government spending is highly concentrated in Kyiv, and the potential of the other regions, especially the Western ones, needs to be used sufficiently. Moreover, despite its historical and economic opportunity, the East region performed little development during the last two decades. The inefficient and inconsistent regional policies played a crucial role in these disparities.
