FACTORS OF TRANSFORMATION OF THE SOCIOECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE DEPRESSED REGIONS OF GERMANY

Abstract

The approaches to studying the phenomenon of socioeconomic depression are systematized and the factors of formation and the instruments of support of depressed territories are analyzed. The importance of factors of «second nature» in the process of overcoming the regional depression is outlined. The depressed regions of Germany are identified for 2000 and 2013 using the original technique. The study also presents the present-day pattern of the depression phenomena and the estimation of spatial changes during the period under study. The regression analysis was applied to reveal the factors contributing to the transformation of socioeconomic development level. Apart from the economic influence special attention is paid to the role of demographic, social and cultural features in the process of overcoming the regional depression.
