REPORT


Russian Economic Development over Three Centuries “This collection and discussion of Russian economic statistics from the 1860s to the 2010s will be extremely useful to students of Russia’s long-run economic development and of comparative economic history. It is the result of an enormous effort to cover the whole of the economy, assess the meaning of the data, utilise the most accurate published and archival sources, adjust the data so that it covers the territory of modern Russia, and to use standard international statistical concepts and procedures.” —Michael Ellman, Professor Emeritus, University of Amsterdam “This book is an invaluable tool for any economist, historian or political scientist interested in Russia and the Soviet Union. It provides geographically-adjusted data on economic and demographic trends from the mid-19th century to current times, and detailed information on production, finance, international trade, etc. Moreover, the Editors have provided thoughtful analyses of the long-term development of Russia over the past 300 years. The contributors to the volume are all experts in the analysis of Russian data and their work is strengthened by the recent opening of Russian archives.” —Josef C. Brada, Professor Emeritus, Arizona State University, and President, Society for the Study of Emerging Markets “This volume presents Russia’s long-run gross domestic products (GDP) and its components, consisted from population and employment, goods-and-services production, foreign trade, government finance, rare monetary series, internationally-­compared, standardized GDP and its per-capita, and personal consumption for the planned period. Adding to thorough examinations of past researches, the authors have made intensive surveys for more than two decades of documents preserved and newly released in the official Russian archives. Truly indispensable and highly recommended for studies in comparative economic history.” —Konosuke Odaka, Professor Emeritus, Hitotsubashi University
