The economic objective of typologization of regions of RF is determined by the need in division of different Subjects of the Federation into homogenous groups in the course of a conducting of cross-regional comparisons or the research into economic processes at the regional level. Hence, the nature of the present project is both independent and, to a certain extent complementary.
