Description

Desai brings together in this volume many influential analyses of Soviet economic performance, its innovativeness, its allocative efficiency, the optimality and flexibility of its foreign trade, the constraints afflicting its agriculture, and the efficacy of its resort to foreign credits and equipment imports. These essays are characterized by the new shift in Soviet economic research towards a sophisticated use of modern econometric and theoretical tools, an approach which she has helped to pioneer. A long introductory essay on the causes and consequences of Soviet growth retardation provides the first coherent framework for the vast theoretical, econometric and institutional literature now available on the failings of the Soviet economy.
