ANALYSIS OF THE COMPETITIVENESS OF THE CONSTRUCTION COMPLEX OF THE NORTHERN REGIONS

Abstract

The dynamism of the economic development of regions largely depends on the competitiveness of their industries. One of the main drivers of the economy is the construction complex, ensuring the competitiveness of which is the main task of public administration bodies. This requires tools for monitoring the main indicators of the construction industry that form competitive advantages. The purpose of the study is to find new mechanisms for assessing the competitiveness of the construction complex of the regions and identifying weaknesses in the development of the industry. The study used the methodology of logical, historical, statistical and comparative analysis, methods of expert assessments, economic modeling, methods of assessing the reliability of qualitative and quantitative statistical indicators. The main hypothesis of the study was the assumption that due to rising cost factors and difficult climatic conditions, the northern regions have a low level of competitiveness of the construction complex. Summary of the main material. The article provides a brief overview of methodological approaches to the study of the competitiveness of the region and its construction complex. The author's approach to calculating the integral indicator of competitiveness is presented. Based on the results obtained, the classification of the northern regions according to the level of competitiveness of the construction industry was carried out. The research hypothesis was confirmed. The main indicators forming the integral index of competitiveness are analyzed. The practical significance of the work lies in the application by the executive authorities of the results of the study in the preparation of medium-and long-term programs for the socio-economic development of the regions. Conclusions and prospects for further research. The low competitiveness of the northern regions is affected by the low growth rates of the employed, the number of high-performance jobs and the volume of work performed. The further perspective of the research is to refine the methodology for assessing the competitiveness of the construction complex in the region in order to determine the weighting coefficients when calculating the generalizing integral indicator and analyze it for all subjects of the Russian Federation.
