The main purpose of the article is to try to substantiate the advisability of classification
of benefits according to the criterion of factors of the location of their production and to
develop a matrix for such a classification. Morphological analysis is used as the main study
method. The existence of four groups and a number of subgroups of benefits is established,
in the location of production of which one pair of factors dominates: from the “production
of benefits” side and from the “place” side. The basics of the classification of benefits are
developed, the location of production of which should take into account several pairs of
factors. The result is a matrix for performing the classification of benefits by factors of the
location of production, the filling of which will improve the quality and speed up decisionmaking on the choice of optimal places for the production of benefits. This study, in addition
to being important for the theory of benefits and the theory of the spatial organization of
the economy, has significant practical and social consequences, since it makes an important
step in improving the justification for the location of production of benefits.
