The article proposes new methods of measurement of differences between of RF regions economic development level. Currently, indicators are used for comparison such as mean, median and mode. And the choice of three options is carried out not on formal criteria, but on the basis of general reasoning. The authors propose to build a system of comparisons on the basis of Bregman divergences. They are already beginning to be used when comparing regions by biologists. These measures have not yet been applied in economic analysis. The divergence of Kulback-Leibler (KL-divergence) is investigated, primarily, the variant of the Bregman divergence. Pairwise comparisons of the level of immigration to the regions as a criterion of quality of measurement of differences are proposed. The main calculations are made on the example of the level of wages in the regions of the South of Western Siberia. The conclusion is made about the prospects of using the existing variants of Bregman divergence, as well as about the possibility of developing new divergence options that best match the comparative attractiveness of the regions for immigrants. |
