	Economy of Russia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		First came the dismantling of the centrally planned economy that was a hallmark of the Soviet Union, and then its replacement by an economy operating on the basis of market forces and private property.

		In a global economy in which both goods and capital are mobile, but labor is not, manufacturers’ tapping of lower-cost labor by importing it in the form of lower-cost parts, components, and – increasingly – finished goods is simply a function of trying to stay competitive in a global economy.
		First, the foremost challenge facing the area in dealing with the economic transition underway is the realization that not only are things not going to stay the same, they already aren’t the same.

		The solution lies in defining this "new" economy and in developing a practical strategy for surviving the transition period.

	SSRN-Mission Implausible III: Measuring the Informal Sector in a Transition Economy using Macro Methods by Jan ...
		An easy and popular method for measuring the size of the underground economy is to use macro-data such as money demand or electricity demand to infer what the legitimate economy needs, and then to attribute the remaining consumption to the underground economy.
		Such inferences rely on the stability of parameters of the money demand and electricity demand equations, or at the very least on knowledge of how these parameters are changing.
		We argue that the pace of change of these parameters (such as velocity) is too variable in transition economies for the above methods of estimating the size of the underground economy to be applicable.
