Measuring the Transition: A User's Viewon National Accounts in Russia

Vincent Koen ()

No 1994/006, IMF Working Papers from International Monetary Fund

Abstract: As Russia’s transition unfolds, the traditional national accounts concepts and reporting mechanisms become increasingly inadequate. As a result, the margin of error associated with basic price and quantity estimates widens substantially. A selection of key measurement and interpretation issues is discussed here, in operational rather than in methodological terms.
