Abstract

In this study, the authors analyzed the availability and degree of interrelation between salaries of the budget and private economy sectors in the regional context based on data from 2013 to 2020. Dynamic and graphical analysis of the relationship between wages in the public and private economy sectors indicates that there is a correlation between them, which differs in regions. Regions with low average wages and a low intersectoral wage gap have a high share of “ukazniki”1 in the total number of employees in the region’s economy. Over the long-term, the private sector is the leader in wage dynamics, while the budget sector is only the follower. This is consistent with the “May” executive order of the President of the Russian Federation on ensuring and maintaining equality of salaries of “ukazniki” to the average level in the region’s economy, including in the long term. In the short term, the wage level in the private sector depends on wages in the public sector. Private sector decisions are more flexible than state decisions that are regulated by the Budgetary Code of the Russian Federation. In regions of the Russian Federation with a high share of employees in the public sector and a low intersectoral wage gap, the dynamics of wages has an impact on the private sector. With a growing wage gap and decrease in the share of “ukazniki” the impact of changes in the salaries of the budget sector on the private sector is decreasing.
