Russia's foreign trade: new directions and western policies

Article Abstract:

The sweeping changes which have occurred in Russia during the past few years, such as the break-up of the Soviet Union and the collapse of the CMEA, have resulted in equally significant changes in the country's foreign trade relations and economic situation. Economic indicators, such as foreign trade, employment, inflation, and production, have bottomed out in 1997. However, the government has implemented a number of reforms to stabilize the economy, such as price and trade liberalization and the privatization of public firms.

Output and exports in transition economies: a labor management model

Article Abstract:

Research was conducted to assess the trend in a transition economy's oligopolistic industry with assumptions that the companies are labor-managed and international trade is welcomed by the economy. It was also assumed that the quality of the output of the companies is lower than those of the Western firms. Findings show a significant effect of material supply bottlenecks which could be damaging if companies cut exports without balance.
