Resilience of Russian Regions to Economic Shocks

Abstract— In article the issues of resilience of regions to crisis shocks and methods of their assessment are considered. Indicators of GRP dynamics during the crisis period were used as a resilience criterion. A grouping of regions depending on the response to the economic crisis is presented, regions resistant to the crises of 2009 and 2015 are identified. To assess the contribution to the regional dynamics of the consequences of national, structural and regional shocks, the method of structural shifts was used. It is shown that the regional component is a significant factor determining the resilience of the region. The contribution of regional factors to resilience was quantified on the basis of regression analysis.
