Abstract:

The paper specifies the method for determining the economic center of a country. It carries out a critical analysis of research studies on the problem of the “economic center” – a new and rather interesting direction in the “regional” and “spatial” economics – and discusses theoretical, methodological and methodical shortcomings of previous research works. The article highlights a methodological incorrectness that results in methodical and interpretational errors. The authors propose new theoretical and methodical provisions for determining the economic center of a country that underlie an analysis of statistical data. In the article, we logically and statistically test the obtained results in terms of the degree of correctness and offer their interpretation.

Keywords: ECONOMICS SPACE, SPACE OF ECONOMY, CENTRE OF ECONOMY, ECONOMIC CENTRE MIGRATION, STATIC STATE
