“…Другой вариант -изучение Центрального федерального округа [30,47], иногда с разделением на субрегионы: Москва, Московская область и остальные регионы [11]. Такие границы, напротив, видятся авторами слишком широкими для исследования, так как последние научные работы показывают, что положительные эффекты на экономику и производительность вследствие действия агломерационных преимуществ для Московской агломерации не выходят за границы Московской области и её регионов-соседей [24].…”

Based on statistics from Rosstat, the Central Bank and other open source data, the article studies the spatial features of the economic and investment activity of the regions of the Moscow metropolitan area, which includes 10 constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The analysis revealed a significant dichotomy between the metropolitan territories – the capital region (including Moscow and the Moscow region) and the other 8 constituent entities – in terms of investment indicators and their dynamics. We identified a steady trend toward the centralization of economic and investment activity during the post-Soviet period, as a result of which by now Moscow and the Moscow region (Moscow Oblast) have concentrated 70% of the population, 86% of the gross regional product and investments in fixed assets as well as over 95% of foreign direct investment of the metropolitan area. From 2013 to 2021, the centralization of investment activity in Moscow and the Moscow region intensified, although the number of investment infrastructure facilities increased in all metropolitan regions over 8 years. Naturally, huge domestic and foreign investment flows are directed toward Moscow; however, the hierarchical-wave diffusion of investment distribution from larger centers to less significant ones, which is peculiar to metropolitan development, is unstable, primarily due to a series of economic shocks (starting from the crisis of 2008-2009 and ending with the COVID-19 pandemic) and is giving way to the ‘neighborhood effect’. Nevertheless, in view of the Moscow region’s saturation with investment infrastructure, as well as its expansion into other metropolitan regions, it can be concluded that as the investment climate in the country stabilizes, investment expansion toward the peripheral regions of the metropolitan area will increase, taking the form of classical hierarchical-wave diffusion.

“…Studies on new economic geography demonstrate that both size and concentration of economic activity significantly influence regional development (Jacobs, 1969;Fujita et al, 2001;Hanson, 2005;Zemtsov and Smelov, 2018;Lavrinenko et al, 2019). There is a greater supply of entrepreneurs in areas with a high demand for products.…”

In this paper we use an institutional approach and apply a regional perspective to explore how market potential, formal institutions, taxes, access to finance, regional policy instruments and digitization have affected small business activity in 83 Russian regions during 2008-2018. We use various regional data sources and official statistics to study the effects of the business environment in the regions and how it may affect entrepreneurship. Our results suggest, that Russia's business environment is important in explaining small business activity, however digitization and the role of market potential can be better controlled by entrepreneurs in terms of what skills to learn and where to locate their businesses. In addition, we discuss the effect of exogenous shocks and changes in the business environment , along with dynamics, challenges and perspectives of entrepreneurship in Russia.
