Abstract
Alternative measures of import shares are defined in this paper. Specific problems of adapting these conceptual measures to the Soviet case relating to the choice of an appropriate exchange rate, the differential definition of Soviet national income and the special Soviet practice of incorporating foreign trade balances in domestic income, are also addressed. The estimates of the ratio for 1970 and 1980 suggest that while it has more than doubled, it has remained dramatically lower than the comparable measure for the OECD countries.
