【 摘 要 】

The extending of Trans-Siberian railway is considered as homotopic parameter, i.e. a factor of a geographical location and connectivity of economic space, forming a line of functional order along which the economy of Siberia and the Russian Far East is transformed. It is possible to pass judgment on a similarity of economies by correlating the regional investments on industry and agriculture VRP. For this purpose the economic connectivity (similarity) of regional economies along the railway is calculated with using a Jacobi determinant for vectors of coefficients of investment acceleration. The comparisons are carried out concerning parameters of Irkutsk region economy. The indexes reflecting advantages of the regional environment of economic activity or regional investment climate are calculated. The main spatial and temporary trends of formation of geoeconomic relations of regions are revealed. It is possible to consider Baykal region with intracontinental position and unique natural features as peculiar "reference point" for the comparative quantitative geographical analysis of economic activity conditions.
