Abstract

The paper examines an indicative approach to estimation of rising costs of living and capital in northern latitudinal zones depending on the degree of natural and climate discomfort. It is argued that it is possible and sensible to estimate the physiological consumer basket of northern dwellers on the assumption of rational money expenditures of an average dweller under non-hard budgetary constraints. A compact index system of rise in cost of living and capital is offered on which it is possible to form a system of differentiated state preferences in northern development. The rising costs of labor and capital in northern latitudes are compared with those in the Moscow region. A need in latitudinal zoning of the north of Russia is stated.
