Introduction. The study continues the approbation of the methodology of cluster identification, developed earlier by the authors and the study of regional industry specialization, within the framework of which the database “Clusters of Russian Regions” was developed. The relevance of the topic is the necessity of the methodology for complex clustering of regions in order to provide further recommendations for the development of industrial sectors. The purpose of the article is to develop and test the methodology for identifying clusters on the territory of Russia based on the synthesis of functional and spatial approaches. Materials and Methods. The analysis of intersectoral relations within the framework of the functional approach consisted in the application of the maximum method, which allows to trace the chain of consumption relative to the main suppliers and main consumers between industries based on the Russian “Input – Output” table of 2016. The spatial approach was implemented by calculating location quotients, determining z-scores, correlation coefficients analysis between clusters’ location quotients to establish regional and interregional links. Results. The results of the article have tested the methods proposed by the authors for the clustering process of regions. The results obtained after applying the methods revealed the localization of the cluster “Chemical Products” in the territories of certain regions of the Russian Federation and its existing significant functional and spatial relationship with the clusters: “Construction”, “Production Equipment” and others. Moreover, it has been determined that the chemical industry has different types of connections: both the functional connection (with the “Metallurgy” cluster) and the presence of spatial communication: interregional (“Construction”), regional (“Production equipment” and others). Therefore, it has been proved that an integrated approach is necessary to identify industrial clusters. Discussion and Conclusion. Considerations of previous studies on regional clustering and our obtained results on the cluster “Chemical products” have confirmed the need to use the complex methodology of regional clustering, which includes the synthesis of functional and spatial approaches, since both approaches separately have their limitations: functional connection does not mean the existence of spatial (analysis of clusters “Chemical products” and “Metallurgy” interconnection) and vice versa. This result will help to comprehensively solve the problem of the chemical industry development in Russia, due to the understanding of the competent placement of enterprises and taking into account the relationship with enterprises of various industries. The materials of the article can be useful both for scientists dealing with the problems of regional economic development, and for governmental bodies whose goals include making managerial decisions in the field of industrial development.

The article reveals the possibilities of using the Russian system of input-output tables and intersectoral models for analytical and forecasting purposes and substantiate managerial decisions in the fild of economic policy. It is shown how the input-output method’s capabilities were implemented at three stages of the development of intersectoral research in Russia, taking into account the specifis of the problems being solved and the development of the statistical base. The primary attention authors paid to the current stage of developing the method and its use directions. A characteristic is given of the constraints objectively inherent in this method and the input-output tables’ information system (IOT). The authors’ position regarding their signifiance is expressed. A new direction in using data from the IOT system is considered — the analysis of the fial product’s cost as accumulated value-added, which implies a full use of the analytical potential of modern input-output tables. Proposals are given for improving the intersectoral toolkit based on taking into account the links between production, the need for investment and the state of the production and technical base.
This research delves into the impact of World Trade Organization (WTO) membership on trade dynamics in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region, focusing on the potential augmentation or diversion of trade resulting from CIS countries’ WTO accession. The study context is grounded in the interplay between regionalism, represented by regional trade agreements and historical connections, and global integration facilitated by WTO membership. The study also scrutinizes the potentially complicating role of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) regional bloc, referencing the ‘Spaghetti Bowl’ phenomenon of overlapping trade agreements. The gravity model of trade serves as a conceptual foundation to understand the effects of WTO membership and regional trade agreements on trade costs. Empirical results suggest that WTO membership has not enhanced trade for the CIS. Instances of trade within the CIS region where there is only one WTO member have resulted in a positive trend, even though there is no robust evidence that it is due to WTO membership. The EAEU enhances trade and serves as a trading bloc within the region. This study highlights that while the WTO strives to foster trade liberalization and growth, its effects can be region-specific and complex, as demonstrated by the CIS region’s experience. The research also hints at the importance of intra-regional trade and unique regional factors as critical determinants of trade patterns, which can enhance broader trade expansion and economic development.
