Russia after the Global Financial Crisis
Two prominent American specialists on the Russian economy present a fundamental analysis of basic economic factors explaining how the global financial crisis has played out in Russia and its implications for the country’s future. More specifically, the authors examine the consequences of Russia’s dependence on and addiction to resource (oil and gas) rents and of the management system put in place under Vladimir Putin to maintain, secure, and dist…
Russia's Declining Oil Production: Managing Price Risk and Rent Addiction
Two prominent American specialists on the Russian economy re-examine two key political explanations commonly advanced for the slowdown in Russian oil production after 2007, namely the high tax regime and increasing state control. The authors' objective is not to question the validity of these explanations, but rather to argue that the outcome (i.e., the slowing rate of oil output and revenues derived from it) was an intentional response to rising…
Resource Rents and the Russian Economy
The paper, by two prominent American specialists on the Soviet and post-Soviet economies, explores the role of Russia's energy resources. The authors offer a more inclusive definition of oil and gas rents than is traditionally given and analyze how the mechanisms for distributing those rents have changed over time. They show how fluctuations in the level of rents have played a key role in Russian economic performance. Oil rents, in particular, ar…

End of the Tunnel? The Effects of Financial Stabilization in Russia
Observations on the Use of Law by Russian Enterprises
Four specialists on the Russian economy analyze the extent to which enterprises use law and legal institutions in structuring exchange relations. The analysis uses the responses from questionnaires administered to sixty officials of fifteen enterprises in Moscow and Yekaterinburg during May-June 1996, supplemented by interviews in enterprises and within arbitrazh courts. Their results indicate that enterprises make little use of law and consider …
Roadblock to Economic Reform: Inter-Enterprise Debt and the Transition to Markets
Two American specialists on Soviet and East European economies examine the relationship between inter-enterprise payments for goods and services and economic reform in Russia. Based on extensive interviews with Russian governmental officials and enterprise directors, as well as unpublished documents, the authors trace and discuss the unsuccessful policies of the government and Central Bank of Russia to eliminate arrears during 1992-93. They also …
The Interenterprise Arrears Crisis in Russia
Two American economists discuss in considerable detail the critical problem of interenterprise arrears (overdue payments for goods and services) in Russia that undermines the transition to a market economy and privatization. The study is based on interviews involving directors of 32 industrial enterprises, managers of commercial banks, and Central Bank officials in Moscow, Novosibirsk and Sochi from May to mid-November 1992. In addition to analyz…
Do Socialist Countries Suffer a Common Business Cycle
The nature and characteristics of economic fluctuations in Eastern European Centrally Planned Economies are analyzed. When cycles are identified by the deviation from a fitted deterministic trend, they are seen to coincide temporally. This common variation is found for Net Material Product (NMP) and Investment. The implications of the common variation of CPE cycles are discussed. Possible explanations of this phenomenon are discussed with emphasi…
Obstacles to Economic Reform of Socialism: An Institutional-Choice Approach
Marketizing reforms are often suggested as remedies for the problems that plague socialist economies. Introducing market reforms is a complex problem. This article examines the obstacles to such reforms. It employs an institutional-choice perspective to study the conditions that are necessary to make marketization effective and discusses the likely outcomes of incomplete marketization
