Abstract

Studies of the spatial aspect of the public sector efficiency are relevant for Russia because there is a tendency to increase the inequality in the development of Russian regions. For the subject of this study stand the results of public sector activities in the Russian economy in regional context and costs of achieving them. PSE (Public Sector Efficiency) was assessed for 85 regions of the Russian Federation for two periods: 2008–2014 and 2015–2021, and a spatial visualization of the obtained values of the public sector efficiency index is presented. The efficiency rating was headed by the Nenets and Chukotka Autonomous Okrugs, the cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg turned out to be the least effective. The production possibility frontier of the public sector of the subjects of the Russian Federation has been constructed. An in-depth analysis of the results and efficiency of the public sector in the Northwestern Federal District was carried out, and practical recommendations for their increase were presented. A large interregional differentiation in the public sector efficiency in the NWFD has been revealed. The advantage of the NWFD regions was noted in almost all areas of public sector activity, especially in Environment and Economic Development, with a small lag in the Security block.
