Abstract Under the conditions of overcoming the post-crisis recession and need of modernization of national economic system, the efficiency of the sphere of public administration should be considered as a significant factor of socio-economic development of territories. Increase of productivity of the system of public administration at the regional level requires introduction of new elements of the transactional mechanism of executive authorities’ activities with simultaneous monitoring of its efficiency by means of modern information methods. This article introduces an approach allowing creating an assessment of the efficiency of territorial governance which includes the same system of indicators for all the regions and highly correlates with the main socio-economic development indicators of a region. The authors use the method of the canonical correlation analysis that allows revealing analytical expression of correlation between indicators of socio-economic development and efficiency of regional executive authorities’ performance.

assessments whether it is possible for the regions of the country to recover from a deep recession. It should be noted that the issues related to the identification and analysis of the problems of economic growth in the regions and related governance issues have already been discussed by Russian economists (Artobolevskiy 1999; Minaker 2001). The research in this field was also conducted by a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences A. Granberg (2001, 2011), who identified the main trends of development of Russian territories: divergence (differentiation), disintegration, and demographic contraction. Th
