Abstract

A prominent Western authority on economic affairs in the former Soviet Union examines major dimensions of Russia's industrial transformation since 1991, focusing on changes in production volume, structure, and organization (e.g., property ownership). An initial section analyzes the dynamics of output, employment, and investment in major industrial branches and presents estimates of factor productivity, followed by an assessment of organizational change (e.g., privatization, joint-venture activity). Coverage then focuses on regional differences in industrial transformation as reflected in such indices as growth in number of enterprises, public-private shares of ownership, and growth in number of foreign-participant firms. Journal of Economic Literature, Classification Numbers: L60, L70, O40, O50. 7 tables, 56 references.
