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. |
