Working papers by Mark Harrison
Please may I draw to your attention two working papers available on the web; comments are welcome. The core of the two papers is the same; differences are noted as follows.
- "Coercion, compliance, and the collapse of the Soviet command economy", available fromwww.warwick.ac.uk/staff/Mark.Harrison/research/Coercion.pdf (7,500 words, some maths)
- "Are command economies unstable? Why did the Soviet economy collapse?", available fromwww.warwick.ac.uk/staff/Mark.Harrison/research/Collapse.pdf (4,500 words, non-technical treatment using diagrams, omits discussion of time-consistency and credible-commitment issues found in the longer paper)
- "Stabil'nye li komandnye sistemy? Pochemu poterpela krakh sovetskaia ekonomika?", available from www.warwick.ac.uk/staff/Mark.Harrison/research/Kollaps.pdf (same as the previous paper, slightly revised and translated into Russian)
