Based on the methodology suggested by Bowen, Munandar, and Viaene (2010; 2011) I examine the quantitative measurement of internal economic integration.

Calculations demonstrated an increasing tendency to deepen the internal integration of the Ukrainian economy, although 2009-2010 were characterized by a reduction in intra-regional economic integration.
