Ruble Price Levels and Dollar-Ruble Ratios of Soviet Machinery in the 1960s,

Abstract

Evidence from Soviet sources bearing on the movement of the wholesale prices of machinery is assessed with a view to inferring crude price indexes. Official indexes, constructed for the 1960s from a limited sample and weighted by 1961 output values, show an almost monotonic decline of machinery and metal working (MMW) prices between 1960 and 1967 and rough stability in other branches. One-time price increases in a number of materials branches were instituted in the last half of 1967.
