Structural Complexity of Regional Economies and Its Impact on GRP

Four integral indices of structural complexity of regional economies are constructed. It is shown that structural the complexity of the regional economy affects the GRP. The estimates of the elasticity of the GRP are obtained using the integral index of structural complexity. The integral index of structural complexity of regional economies allows for a comprehensive assessment of the economic potential of territories, identifying the most promising industries, and identifying areas of diversification that contribute to strengthening the economic security of regions in the context of sanctions pressure. This creates the basis for the formation of sound spatial development strategies aimed at increasing economic complexity and sustainability regional economists .
