In the third chapter, the entire set of regions is divided into clusters according to their socio-economic indicators, and the factors most influencing the inflow of investments in fixed capital per capita in each selected class of regions are identified. In addition, the third chapter analyzes investment in fixed assets by constituent entities of the Russian Federation on panel data (from 2014 to 2017) and identifies the factors that determine the inflow of investments in fixed capital in Russia after the 2014 crisis and the annexation of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol .
