A Quantitative Analysis of the Soviet Economy. Volume 1. Expansion of the 1972 Soviet Input-Output Tables
Abstract
This research effort focuses upon providing a reasonably accurate and complete set of Soviet economic data which are compatible, in accounting format, with U.S. data. This volume describes the method used to accomplish this expansion of available Soviet data. Essential elements of the expansion effort involved: (1) Breaking down the 'final demand' portion of Soviet input-output tables -- originally aggregated into only 'private consumption' and 'other final demand' -- into the following components: Defense, Government finance and administration, Government services (education, health and culture), Private consumption, Capital investment in production facilities, Foreign trade, and Inventory change; (2) Expanding the 'production' quadrant to provide estimates of defense production and of those portions of the Soviet economy omitted from I-O tables because they are not 'productive' industries. Additions to the production quadrant include: Military production, Housing, 'Non-productive' transportation and communications, and Government and military personnel; (3) Expansion of the capital investment portion of the final demand quadrant to provide a breakdown of investment on an industry-by-industry basis, and (4) Projection of all the resulting 1972 Soviet I-O data forward in time to provide an approximate 1980 Soviet I-O table.
