Spatial distribution of wholesale trade enterprises in the Republic of Tatarstan based on the level of transaction costs

the purpose of this study is to develop an approach to the spatial location of wholesale trade enterprises in the Republic of Tatarstan, depending on the level of transaction costs of organizations. Methods: in this study, the author uses methods of analysis and synthesis, correlation and regression analysis, as well as generalization. Findings: the objectives of this study are to study the level of transaction costs of enterprises in the Republic of Tatarstan, to determine the geographical location of such companies in the territory of the subject of the Russian Federation, as well as to identify links and dependencies between these indicators in order to form an approach to predicting the level of transaction costs when choosing a company location. This study presents approaches to determining the level of transaction costs depending on the distance between the geographical location of companies in the Republic of Tatarstan to the selected central location (the economic center of Kazan). It is proposed to base the forecasting of the location of enterprises in the Republic of Tatarstan on the regression model proposed by the author, as well as on its possible modifications. Conclusions: the conducted research shows that the close relationship between the level of transaction costs and the geographical location of enterprises in the Republic of Tatarstan can be considered weak. The regression equation calculated in this scientific work makes it possible to predict the level of transaction costs depending on the location of enterprises in the republic. An increase in the distance between the geographical location of companies and the economic center does not lead to a significant increase in the share of transaction costs in the revenue of companies, which is explained by the factors presented in this scientific paper.
