Abstract

To be able to analyze, assess and forecast socio-economic development of territories, it is necessary to have complete and objective information, the basis of which should be a generalized base of scientifically valid indicators, characterizing, on the one hand, the standard of living in the regions and the country as a whole, and on the other hand, the main social and economic factors that have a significant impact on it. Accordingly, the purpose of this article was to develop a structure of an open data base, characterizing the processes of convergence and divergence of income and expenditures of the population in the regions of Russia, which occur under the influence of various social and economic factors. Design of the database was based on the application of methods of formalization, algorithmization, structurization and grouping. As a result, the structure of the database was developed, it links data characterizing incomes and expenditures of the population, on the one hand, and the dynamics of socio-economic development of the subjects of the Russian Federation, on the other hand. It has enabled us, firstly, to form and systematize an optimum set of indicators covering all essential aspects of the phenomenon under study by integrating statistical information from different information systems and, secondly, to solve the problem of establishing relationships between parameters characterizing complex processes of formation and differentiation of incomes and expenditures of the population as well as the influence of social and economic factors on these processes. Scientific significance of the results of the research consists in the fact that the formed data base through its target purpose, as well as greater specification of the subject (which determines the set of analyzed attributes – indicators) and specification of the research object allows using methods of mathematical statistics, system dynamic modeling, etc. to identify trends and determinants of differentiation of living standards of the country. The practical significance of the research consists in optimizing the research process of finding reliable and representative data for the regions of Russia and the analyzed problem. In addition, the results of processing the data stored in the database will also allow us to determine the tools for improving the state policy of regional development of the Russian Federation in the context under consideration.

Keywords: income and expenditures of the population, database design, spatial differentiation, regional development, socio-economic development, standard of living
