Labour Productivity Dynamics: Regional Aspects

The paper considers the techniques for measuring and assessing regional labour productivity and its dynamics and differences. It compares the results obtained by applying the different techniques, and can state that the trends identified according to different methods, display a little difference. Only the indicator of a real labour productivity compared to wage shows a higher difference and results in higher ratings of the regions where wages are relatively low. A high share of extractive industries in regions is a key factor of a high labour productivity. The labour productivity and its dynamics show a strong sectoral difference. The growth of a total labour productivity in regions can be explained by the increased efficiencies but not by relocation of production and labour forces to the regions with higher indicators of efficiency

Workforce Productivity in Siberian Regions

The article explains how workforce productivity can be used to measure and compare levels of technological development in various regions under certain conditions and limitations. We demonstrate that sectoral structure of the economy should not necessarily be identical. Gradually reducing before 1998, workforce productivity in Russia had regained its 1990 level by 2005. During 2009-2012 positive annual growth of productivity in the whole country was achieved almost at the sole expense of the eastern regions. We have calculated projected productivity indicators in Russia and in leading regions of Big Siberia till 2025 against the background of global trends
