Abstract:

The paper represents an evaluation technique of clustering conditions characterized by using the iterative method. The main goal of the first stage is to evaluate technical and technological conditions of cluster formation – in every region some industries and enterprises are selected to be the “core” of future cluster. For this purpose localization factor, specialization ratio and per capita production ratio are being estimated. As a result, virtual clusters are formed, promising to turn into real ones. Then we aim at the evaluation and development of socio-economic and institutional conditions of the regions required to form actual clustering. In the second place the system-wide clustering conditions are estimated considering a set of indicators of socio-economic conditions which are hopeful for regional clustering.
