Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While growth figures are high for Soviet industry in general, they are especially impressive for the MBMW sector which has far outperformed other sectors of the economy. The question widely debated in the U.S.S.R. now is whether these impressive figures actually reflect the growth of physical output. To put it differently, did the Soviet economy receive more machines and equipment as a result of this growth, and, if so, was the rate of real growth the same as the growth in value terms? But why would one raise such a question in the first place? To answer this and similar questions, the procedures of Soviet measurement of output, productivity, costs and prices have been analyzed in this study. Special attention is given to the processes of planning quality improvements and pricing new technological items. An analysis of procedures and methodological instructions used in planning and pricing MBMW products may be helpful in revealing possible discrepancies between prices of new goods and their quality characteristics.

Download or read book SOVIET ECONOMY: Assessment of How Well the CIA Has Estimated the Size of the Economy written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As you requested, we have reviewed the Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) methods for estimating the size of the Soviet Union's economy. In this report we discuss how well the Agency has calculated Soviet gross national product, both in rubles and as a percent of U.S. gross national product. We also discuss the prospects for future improvements in the Agency's estimates. The future course of events in the Soviet Union is now very uncertain. It is highly possible that this uncertainty will affect the Agency's future role in and methods for assessing the size of the Soviet economy. Our recommendations for improving the CIA's estimates are therefore conditioned on the need for the Agency's continuing role. The Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) estimates of Soviet gross national product (GNP) have been increasingly criticized in recent years. By 1990, some non-CiA analysts had variously concluded that Soviet GNP was anywhere from 14 to 33 percent of U.S. GNP rather than the 51 percent as estimated by the CIA and growing at lower rates than estimated by the CIA. The CIA uses adjusted Soviet data to estimate Soviet GNP in rubles for a base year currently 1982. It bases its estimates of GNP for later years on its estimates of the growth of each sector of the economy, such as agriculture, since the base year. In addition to these ruble estimates, the CIA also calculates Soviet GNP as a percentage of U.S. GNP. It uses ruble- dollar ratios derived from the prices of goods and services in each country to convert U.S. GNP from dollars to rubles and Soviet GNP from rubles to dollars. Because the resulting comparisons of the two economies one in rubles and the other in dollars yield different results.

Download or read book Economic Evaluation of Soviet Socialism written by Alan Abouchar and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic Evaluation of Soviet Socialism examines the economic achievements of Soviet socialism from a variety of perspectives. The Soviet Union's failure to eliminate inflation and its implications for the economy are considered in comparison to a capitalist developed or industrializing economy. The effects of inflation on welfare and efficiency are also discussed. This book is comprised of eight chapters and opens by sketching the distinguishing characteristics of Soviet socialism as well as six major sources of interest in the evaluation of Soviet socialism. The next section deals with three kinds of issues relating to Soviet socialist performance: organizational-structural aspects, economic growth, and efficiency. Questions such as whether the Soviet economy may have been able to obviate the traditional undesirable consequences of inflation are addressed. The growth of the economy and of important macroeconomic aggregates, such as national income, industrial production, and consumption, is also analyzed. The remaining chapters focus on economic efficiency in agriculture and industry in relation to the Soviet price mechanism. This monograph will be of interest to economists, social scientists, policymakers, and government officials.

Book excerpt: This study develops and applies a comprehensive framework for estimating all of the economic costs incurred by the Soviet Union in acquiring, maintaining, and expanding its empire. The bulk of the study is devoted to estimating the total and component costs of the Soviet empire (CSE) for the period from 1971 through 1980. The principal components include implicit trade subsidies; export credits; military aid deliveries; economic aid deliveries; incremental costs of Soviet military operations in Afghanistan; and costs of Soviet covert and related activities that can be reasonably imputed to the empire, rather than to maintenance of the Soviet system at home. These costs are expressed in current and constant dollars and rubles, and scaled in relation to Soviet GNP and military spending. After considering total costs and their changes over the 1970s, the cost of each component is examined separately. Finally, the question of whether CSE will be higher or lower in the 1980s than in the 1970s is considered, as well as several policy issues relating to the burden imposed by CSE on the Soviet economy, the relative size of comparable U.S. costs, and the desirability and feasibility of U.S. policies for raising CSE.

Book excerpt: Not too many years ago, the burden of Soviet defense seemed a secondary issue. The conventional estimates of the size of the burden were low and the Soviet economy was growing rapidly. Now, the era of rapid growth seems to have come to an end and the Western estimates of the burden are much higher. The conjunction generates intense interest in the relation between the two developments. Especially important is the role of the defense burden in shaping future growth prospects. How serious a drag on the economy does the Soviet military budget represent? Is cutting defense spending the solution to current Soviet economic problems? Will the military budget nevertheless continue to grow? These questions are the focus of the present paper. The first section considers the various estimates of the size of the Soviet defense burden. It is followed by a discussion of the connections between defense burden and resource allocation choices. A final section speculates on the implications for future defense spending.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading specialist on Soviet economics examines the heavily politicized debate on the CIA's estimates of the rate of growth and comparative size of the Soviet economy during the period 1960-1985. The author finds little evidence to support the common indictment that the CIA seriously misestimated the Soviet growth record. The author finds somewhat greater reason to believe that the Agency's comparative size ratios were overstated. And the author finds grounds to question whether CIA dealt effectively with the limitations of the size and growth measures in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
