Abstract
 
There is little work on the inner workings of journals. What factors seem to affect the ability to publish in a journal? Could simple rules (which are already used by some journals) like the immediate rejection of a significant minority of papers, help to streamline the process? At what cost? How well do journals seem to do in choosing papers? What can we say about the extent of type 1 and type 2 errors? Do editors seem to have uniform standards or are some harsher than others? We use data on submissions to the Journal of International Economics to help answer such questions.

“What Does Rent Give to Federal Budget
(on the Russia’s Budget Dependence upon ‘Oil Dollars’)”
 
(Co-authored with Elena Sharipova)
 
Published in Voprosy Economiki, Volume 7, Jul. 2004, pp. 50-69
 
Abstract
 
Federal tax revenues from the main sectors of the Russian economy after the 1998 crisis are examined in the article. We present the structure of revenues from these sectors by main taxes for 1999-2003 and sketch prospects for 2004. Emphasis is given to an increasing dependence of budget on revenues from oil an gas industries. The share of proceeds from these sectors has reached 1/3 of total federal revenues and is likely to escalate. To explain this fact world oil prices dynamics and changes in tax legislation in Russia are considered. Empirical results show a very strong dependence of budget revenues on oil prices. The analysis of changes in tax legislation in oil and gas industry shows that the government has managed to redistribute resource rent in favor of the state.
