Consequently, each event and each group can be evaluated according to the level of economic optimism. In the first case, economic optimism can be described as "eventual", in the second - as "institutional". Results: the article contains an analysis of the views of representatives of various institutional groups in a specific region of the Russian Federation (Voronezh region). Opportunities for the development of the region are formulated on the basis of expert assessments. The results of the study have two different aspects.
