Quantifying price liberalization in Russia

Article Abstract:

Empirical evidence suggests that price liberalization in Russia has not resulted in full market integration. The time-series behavior of commodity prices in Russia during 1992-1995 and the correlation between the behavior of prices of similar goods within and across cities were analyzed to quantify the government's price liberalization program. While price liberalization gradually gathered momentum and prices generally reflected market conditions by first quarter of 1995, resistance to price reform persisted at the regional level.
