Methods. For the study, I used a statistical analysis. Results. The article finds that the Russian-Mongolian border area is characterized by the highest intensity of interregional connections across various sectors, however, high trade barriers (including hidden trade restrictions) and transportation costs hinder the deepening of Russian-Mongolian border cooperation.
