Factors of entrepreneurial activity in large cities of Russia

Abstract

Purpose: In this article, a correlation and regression analysis are carried out aimed at identifying the interrelation between the indicators of socio-economic development of cities and the number of business entities in them. Methodology: This is analytical-logical research that has been done through content analysis and documentary and library research. Result: The entrepreneurial activity in these cities depends on such factors as the retail sales per capita, the proportion of unemployed who applied to the employment service in total population, budget revenues per capita and the volume of paid services per capita. The equations compiled for the other cities did not pass the test according to Student and Fisher criteria. Therefore, it can be concluded that other factors not considered in this analysis influence the entrepreneurial activity in those cities. The revealed dependencies will help determine the directions for a further increase of entrepreneurial activity in the large cities of Russia. Applications: This research can be used for universities, teachers, and students. Novelty/Originality: In this research, the model of factors of entrepreneurial activity in large cities of Russia is presented in a comprehensive and complete manner.
