| Summary: | The aim of the article is to develop and justify a methodological approach for determining the influence of factors on competitiveness of a territory. The analysis and systematization of the theoretical principles of existing approaches to assessing competitiveness of a territory as well as determination of the factors affecting its increase confirm the presence of three key groups of influence factors: economic, social and environmental ones. The article justifies the timeliness of developing a methodological approach for determining the influence of factors on competitiveness of territories as an important component of analytical support for the mechanism to form a policy of balanced economic development of territories. The application of the proposed approach includes the implementation of certain successive stages: determining the level of competitiveness of the territory (using taxonomic analysis); identifying the influence factors and integrating them into groups (using factor analysis); revealing the relationship between the level of competitiveness of the territory and influence factors (with the help of multiple correlation and regression analysis). It is found that the application of the proposed approach will allow not only to identify factors that negatively or positively affect competitiveness of regions but to forecast the level of economic development of the territories as well. Prospects for further research in this direction include modeling scenarios of balanced economic development of territories, which will allow to identify promising areas of increasing competitiveness, determine the effectiveness of using the own resources of the territory and objectively evaluate the performance of bodies. |
