Abstract

Article is devoted to a problem of sustainable development. The problem of sustainable development is relevant almost for all countries of the world. The majority of the countries have the high level of anthropogenic pressure. Russia is not an exception. In Russia, about a half of regions is highly polluted. Economic and ecological components are in contradiction. The main problem of any national economy today is to harmonize economic and ecological efficiency. Methodological tools of the research include correlation, regression and graphical analysis. The authors offer two groups of indicators: One group includes economic indicators of growth, the second—indicators of environmental efficiency. We analyze the correlation between indicators from these groups and construct the nonlinear multiple regression. The purpose of the article is to look for dependence on the economic growth of the region both economic and ecological indicators. The following results were obtained within a quantitative analysis: A regression analysis demonstrates high dependence of the gross regional product growth on labor factor, while fixed capital investment financed by bank credit cannot be assessed as a key factor of the regional growth; a correlation analysis shows moderate level of dependence between industrial growth and increase of emissions to the environment; a graphical analysis demonstrates relation between industrial expansion and ecological effectiveness. The results show that 1% growth in industrial output is accompanied by 0.4% decrease in ecological effectiveness.
