T1  - Transport costs and the size of cities
N2  - Real costs of freight transportation have strong increased in Russia particularly during the period of price liberalization 1992–93.

Empirical findings suggest that under conditions of a closed system agglomeration processes according to the predictions of the model of Tabuchi et al. (2005) would have taken place especially in the periphere regions of the North and Far East.
