Russian Regional Debt Sustainability Estimation

The article deals with estimation of Russia debt stability policy on regional level. Topicality of the issues is stipulated, on the one hand, by the fact that certain entities of the Russian Federation cannot support their spending liabilities by their own resources and have to use debt financing.

description	The article deals with estimation of Russia debt stability policy on regional level. Topicality of the issues is stipulated, on the one hand, by the fact that certain entities of the Russian Federation cannot support their spending liabilities by their own resources and have to use debt financing. On the other hand, budget restrictions of regions cannot be considered strict. The article analyzes ways of estimating debt stability, which are used in today's research and grounds the choice of assessing the function of fiscal response as a key method. By using cluster analysis through k-means method entities of the Russian Federation were divided by the degree of subsidy need and indicators of economic efficiency into three clusters: developed, medium and dependent. For the first two groups with the population of regions sufficient for correct model building the function of primary budget balance in response to debt accumulation is estimated.
