Book Description
This book was published in 2003.This text analyses the economy-wide effects of various trade and economic policies that have affected Russia's transition from plan to market in the past decade. The issues discussed relate to the allocative effects of macro-economic reforms (exchange rate alterations) or reforms in the agro-food sector which have affected Russia's economy in transition. To facilitate the analysis an economy-wide model of Russia's economy is developed. The model is a computable general equilibrium model and as such is the economist's version of a laboratory in which it is possible to conduct policy experiments. Due to the transitory stage of the Russian economy the model is different from other such models for industrialized countries. It takes into account some specific circumstances of the transition process which are elaborated in detail: parts of the informal or hidden economy are represented; market imperfections which are the result of institutional constraints are taken into consideration as are structural rigidities such as immobile capital and disequilibria in labour markets.

Economic Growth and the Middle Class in an Economy in Transition
Author: Zoya Nissanov
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9783319845647
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
This book studies the evolution of the middle class in Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union. Using data from the RLMS (Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey), the volume covers the period of transition (1991-2008) during which many fundamental economic reforms were implemented. The first part of the book is devoted to a discussion of the concept of middle class and a description of the economic situation in Russia during the transition period. Particular attention is given to variations in the distribution of Russian incomes and the estimated importance of the middle class. The second part of the book focuses on the link between the middle class and income bipolarization. The third and last section of the book uses the semiparametric "mixture model" to discover how many different groups may be derived from the income distribution in Russia, as well as what the main socio-economic and demographic characteristics of those groups are. The mobility of households into and out of the middle class during the transition period is also studied in hopes of determining the factors that contribute to such mobility. Using rigorous empirical methods, this volume sheds light on a relatively unstudied economic group and provides insight for countries which are about to enter a transition period. As such, this book will be of great interest to researchers in economics and inequality as well as professionals and practitioners working with international organizations.

Alternative Political Economy Models of Transition
Author: John Marangos
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351533045
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 500
Book Description
The collapse of centrally administered socialism in Russia and Eastern Europe resulted in what is commonly referred to as the transition problem: the transformation from a centrally administered socialist economic system to one that is market-based. Economic science has been faced with the challenge of developing an appropriate body of analysis, advice, and direction to help other nations that may be undergoing this process. In this volume, John Marangos adopts a political economy approach that yields alternative models of transition. The volume develops transition models from what Marangos defines as the primary elements of six variables: (1) economic analysis; (2) definitions of the Good Society; (3) speed of transition; (4) political structure; (5) ideological structure; and (6) initial conditions. The models developed include: the shock therapy model, the neoclassical gradualist model of transition, the post Keynesian model, the pluralistic market, the socialist model, and the non-pluralistic market socialist model. After identifying the primary elements of each transition model, Marangos considers the elements of each model with respect to the desirable reforms. An essential element of the transition process is not only to identify the necessary reforms but also a sequence in which the reforms should be introduced. For each transition model developed in this book, a set of primary and secondary elements were provided in conjunction with a sequence of reforms. Analyzing the transition problem from a political economy perspective, Marangos shows that it is possible to have inconsistencies within each transition model and between transition models yet be able to identify the potential for implementation and maintenance of necessary reforms each model recommends. This volume contributes to the understanding of the process of transition, with the objective of identifying an optimal model of transition.

Simulating Russia's and Other Large Economies' Challenging and Interconnected Transitions
Author: Seth G. Benzell
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This paper develops a large-scale, dynamic life-cycle model to simulate Russia's demographic and fiscal transition under favorable and unfavorable fossil-fuel price regimes. The model includes Russia, the U.S., China, India, the EU, and Japan+ (Japan plus Korea). The model predicts dramatic increases in tax rates in the U.S., EU, India, and Russia. Indeed, the increases are so large as to question their political feasibility let alone their actual collection given the potential for tax avoidance and tax evasion.
