Abstract
The article discusses why there has been a change in the research paradigm towards quantitative methods in regional development. Factor assessment no longer met modern requirements for the development of markets and industries. However, questions remained, it was not clear to what extent the theoretical results for stylized spatial conditions would be qualitatively and quantitatively generalized to more realistic conditions in the theoretical and empirical literature on the new regional economy. Quantitative models, which are most often used in regional studies, were able to integrate three directions: spatial development, take into account the multiplicity of regional processes, and all parameters used can be identified.
