Abstract

The article presents the results of a study aimed at testing the methodology for assessing the competitiveness of the regional construction sector. Assessment of competitiveness of the construction sector of the regional economy was conducted on three groups of indicators. The first group includes such indicators as the share of unprofitable enterprises in the construction, investment activity (share of investment in output). The second group of indicators includes labor Productivity, capital productivity, tend-vaginitis. The third group includes the ratio of wages in construction with the subsistence minimum working age population in the region, the degree of depreciation of fixed assets in the regional construction, the share of workers of construction organizations, working in conditions that do not meet hygienic standards of working conditions. The study showed that the competitive status of the construction industry of the Republic of Tatarstan within the framework of the three-factor model is the highest in the Volga Federal district. However, several challenges were identified. For example, regional authorities in the management of competitiveness of the construction complex of the region should pay attention to several issues related to performance and business activity in production and working conditions of their workers.
