1 1 Carleton University Department of Economics Winter term 2009 ECONOMICS OF TRANSITION (Economics 3808) Instructor: Vladimir Popov, Classes: Wednesdays, 14:35-17:25, 502 SOUTHAM HALL Office hours: DT Mondays, 14:30-15:30; Wednesdays 17:30-18:30 Prerequisite: ECON 1000 or FYSM The overall aim of this course is to understand the processes of transition from a socialist, centrally planned economy to a capitalist market-type economy, using the Russian economy as the primary example. Extensive comparisons will be made with the experience of other economies in transition. After surveying the economics of transition in the perspective of comparative economic systems, we shall look at Soviet economic history and at basic features of the Soviet centrally planned economy. We shall then examine current transition problems, such as macroeconomic stabilisation and industrial policy, privatisation strategy and experience, emerging banking and financial systems. The conventional wisdom (as summarised, for instance, in the World s Bank 1996 World Development Report From Plan to Market) suggests that differences in economic performance are associated mostly with "good and bad policies, in particular with the progress in liberalisation and macroeconomic stabilisation: countries that are more successful than others in introducing market reforms and bringing down inflation are believed to have better chances to limit the reduction of output and to quickly recover from the transformational recession. The devil, however, is in the details, which often do not fit into the generalisation and make the whole explanation look trivial. The final task of the course is to examine to what extent differences in economic performance in post-communist countries during transition are associated with: the initial level of economic development; the magnitude of initial distortions in industrial structure and trade patterns; chosen reform paths (shock therapy or gradual transition), speed of liberalisation; institutional capacities of the state; macroeconomic stabilisation (rates of inflation) and industrial policies (import substitution vs. export oriented growth); other factors. Components of the final grade: Mid-term test, in-class (40% of final grade) questions 1 to 35, problems 1-4 (approximately). Final exam (60% of final grade) all questions and problems. Answers that demonstrate the ability of critical thinking and understanding of the issues would be given higher marks than answers that reproduce word by word any existing text. 1
2 2 Please be aware that plagiarism is a serious offense and one that should be recognized and avoided. For further information regarding this subject, please see the Economics website or pick up a handout from the Department. Failure to write the final examination will result in a grade of ABS. In order to write a deferred exam students must contact the Registrar s Office. For Students with Disabilities: Students with disabilities needing academic accommodations are required to contact a coordinator at the Paul Menton Centre to complete the necessary letters of accommodation. The student must then make an appointment to discuss their needs with the instructor at least two weeks prior to the first class or ITV test. This is to ensure sufficient time is available to make the necessary accommodation arrangements. For Religious Observance: Students requesting academic accommodation on the basis of religious observance should make a formal, written request to their instructors for alternate dates and/or means of satisfying academic requirements. Such requests should be made during the first two weeks of class, or as soon as possible after the need for accommodation is known to exist, but no later than two weeks before the compulsory academic event. Accommodation is to be worked out directly and on an individual basis between the student and the instructor(s) involved. Instructors will make accommodations in a way that avoids academic disadvantage to the student. Students or instructors who have questions or want to confirm accommodation eligibility of a religious event or practice may refer to the Equity Services website for a list of holy days and Carleton s Academic Accommodation policies, or may contact an Equity Services Advisor in the Equity Services Department for assistance. For Pregnancy: Pregnant students requiring academic accommodations are encouraged to contact an Equity Advisor in Equity Services to complete a letter of accommodation. The student must then make an appointment to discuss her needs with the instructor at least two weeks prior to the first academic event in which it is anticipated the accommodation will be required.

If money supply increased by 40%, while output fell by 30% and money velocity did not change, what was the increase in prices? 2. In 1998 Russian GDP in current prices totalled 2700 billion roubles, whereas 1997 in current prices it was 2500 billion roubles. Prices (GDP deflator) grew in 1998 as compared to 1997 by 14%.

In the base period personal disposable income was equal to 200 bill R, personal consumer expenditure to 100 bill. R. Financial assets of the public (including cash) amounted to 400 bill R at the end of the base period, whereas monetary overhang (forced savings) was estimated at 200 bill. R. By how much prices would increase after they are deregulated in the current period, provided that there is no change either in the personal disposable income, or in consumer goods output, and that the public is willing to keep constant the real value of its consumer spending and financial assets? Y tc 6. Money demand function in Inflationland is: L =, where tc transaction costs of obtaining cash, π - 2π inflation rate, Y real income. What is the «optimal» inflation rate maximizing the revenues (as a % of GDP) from inflation tax? What would be the revenues (as a % of GDP) from inflation tax, if inflation runs at a rate of 100% a year and transaction costs are equal to 1% of GDP? 7.
