Papers in Regional Science, 1993, vol. 72, issue 1, 3-23

Abstract: ABSTRACT In this paper, qualitative and quantitative characteristics of interregional (interrepublican) commodity circulation in the former Soviet Union are analyzed. The distinction Ls made between three historical stages: (a) the development of the planned economy before perestroika; (b) the transformation of the Soviet economy (1988–1991) and the associated disintegration of its economic space; and (c) the beginning of the active transition to a market economy. The quantitative analysis of the economic interdependence between the Soviet republics is based on data for 1987. At that time, the interrepublican commodity exchange had reached its maximum intensiveness. Some results of computations are presented, carried out on the basis of regional and interregional input‐output systems. These include the evaluation of the consequences of a break in interrepublican relations and of the formation of stable republican coalitions.
