Soviet Post Attack Recovery: An Initial Assessment

Abstract

This Technical Note examines the applicability of using and econometric model in the evaluation of the recovery potential of the Soviet Union following a nuclear war. Specific observations are made concerning the limitations of such an analytical tool in assessing intersectoral differences during recovery and improvements needed in a econometric model constructed for examining peacetime economic processes if features of recovery phenomena are to be properly treated. Contents: Basic Characteristics of this Approach to Economic Analysis of the Postattack-Recovery Process; A Brief Description of SOVMOD II; Results of Selected Tests Used in SOVMOD II; Detailed Recovery Phenomena within the Industrial Sector; Major Limitations of SOVMOD II for Recovery Analysis.
