REAL WAGES IN SOVIET RUSSIA SINCE 1928,
Abstract
This volume is one of a series of studies that RAND has been conducting on different facets of the Soviet economic-military potential. Because the Soviet government has published information on the cost of living and real wages only during favorable periods, there has been a crucial gap in our knowledge of the Soviet worker's standard of living. Grounded on the economic theory of index numbers, and drawing heavily on a number of earlier RAND studies, this Report presents the first detailed and fully documented Western study of nonagricultural real wages in the Soviet Union from the eve of the first Five Year Plan in 1928 to the present.
