Journal "Region: Economics and Sociology", 2002, vol. 1, 65-79

Abstract: Compared are official norms of survival between the Siberian federal district and other federal districts of the Russian Federation. The comparison of income and official survival minimum, average between the Ural and Far East regions, permits to see that actually per capita income in Siberia is over 40% below the average for the two neighboring federal districts. Over a half of this difference is due to underestimated survival minimum calculated by the currently used official procedure where household expenditures on warm clothes and shoes and on heating and hot water supply are not taken in full. The variable of this underestimation can be used to assess the amount of rent exported from Siberia without compensation.
