DIAGNOSTICS OF TERRITORIAL DIFFERENTIATION OF REGIONS OF THE CENTRAL FEDERAL DISTRICT
In social and economic measurement of development of territorial subjects of the Russian Federation there are basic changes now. The role of scientific search and receiving almost significant research results on measurement of a territorial inequality increases in these conditions. The dominating tendency territorial and first of all, economic and social development of the 2000s is strengthening of interregional disproportions. Characteristic for this period is possible to consider asymmetric type of regional development. Most of subjects are subsidized. One of the purposes of economic policy of the state and authorities on places in these conditions is alignment of essential disproportions in development of territories. Interregional alignment must smooth excessive differentiation in them. At the same time, the managing practice change connected with development of the competitive market relations demands new approaches to management of social and economic development which, first of all, has to base on technologies of research, diagnosing and programming. Market mechanisms are not capable in all cases to warn and overcome serious territorial distinctions in a standard of living of the population, efficiency of regional economy. In this case local authorities appear before need, creating all conditions for growth and development of branches of economy, progressive structural shifts, at the same time from social and economic and political requirements to maintain a certain uniformity of territorial economic and social space and to define trajectories of their development. In this regard discussion of methods and approaches of measurement of territorial disproportions of territories represents both scientific, and practical interest as a result allows to create a rational perspective trajectory of regional development.
