The Economic Structure Analysis at the Regional Level

Abstract

The economic structure of the Ivano-Frankivsk region was analyzed by types of economic activity for 5 years. The largest share is occupied by such activities as: processing industry, agriculture, forestry and fisheries, mining and quarrying, supply of electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning, construction, wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles. Other activities take from 1–5%, which is a small share and require appropriate measures for further development. Analysis of structural shifts in output by types of economic activity, which showed that the components with the “+” sign show an increase in the change in the share of the structural part, in particular, these are such types of management as: mining and processing industry, water supply; sewerage, waste management, real estate operations, public administration and defense; compulsory social insurance, information and telecommunications and others. The same components, with the “-” sign, respectively, show a decrease in the change in the share of one or another type of economic activity in the overall structure, in particular: agriculture, forestry and fisheries, construction, wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles, supply of electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning, transport, warehousing, postal and courier activities, health care and social assistance. To assess the intensity of structural shifts in the whole population, the linear and quadratic coefficients of absolute structural shifts were calculated. Which showed that there were changes in the structural relation of the share of output by types of economic activity of the region, in particular, in construction and processing industry. The use of statistical methods made it possible to investigate the state of the priority activities of the economy of the Ivano-Frankivsk region, the structure and identify trends in further development. However, the strategic task of the region is the effective use of the existing potential (resource, production, labor, material and technical, financial) to improve its socio-economic situation.
