Regional Differentiation by Indicators of Environmental- Economic State and Development of Agriculture
The article covers the environmental-economic system (with reference to agricultural production) as an object of statistical research on the relationship between the natural environment and economic activity. In this regard, a brief set of indicators characterizing the state of the environment, agricultural production, as well as their interrelation has been developed and presented. At the same time, the environmentaleconomic system of agriculture in Russia is characterized by land and water resources.While studying the regional differentiation the author proposes considering the climatic factors. To this end, the developed system of indicators reflecting environmental-economic parameters of agriculture served as a basis of the study of the influence of climatic factors. Its results were compared with similar parameters without regard to the climatic factors. It is noted that without preliminary regional differentiation according to weather and climatic conditions, it is rather difficult not only to objectively analyze general patterns but also to identify crucial factors influencing managerial decision-making.
