Determining the uniformity of the distribution of GRP and regional budget revenues

Abstract

The article considers topical issues of regional development in the Republic of Kazakhstan in the context of income inequality and economic growth. Regional inequality in Kazakhstan is a topical issue that affects various aspects of the population's life and the country's development. The purpose of this article is to analyze the uniformity of the distribution of economic indicators by regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan. For this purpose, the Lorenz curve and the Gini coefficient were used, which made it possible to analyze the uniformity of the distribution of two important economic indicators by regions: gross regional product (GRP) and regional budget revenues. The results of the analysis showed the uneven distribution of GRP depending on the population of the region. As a result of the analysis, the authors determined that the distribution of income between regional budgets is more uniform than the distribution of GRP. Thus, the formation of the size of regional budgets per capita has almost absolute equality.
