Abstract

Vadim Kufenko provides a theoretical and empirical analysis of various aspects of economic growth and income inequality in the Russian regions using different estimation techniques from the cross-section OLS and logistic models to dynamic panel data system GMM. The general period for the data is 1995-2012. Acknowledging the crucial role of human capital, the author models the brain-drain using game theory and shows that the owners of human capital may have monetary as well as institutional motives. He states that the income gap between the regional elite and the population is a robust positive determinant of the risk of protests. Contents Convergence, Catching Up and Regional Disparities Empirical Analysis of Economic Growth: Cross-Section and Dynamic Panel Data Models Human Capital and the Resource Curse Income Inequality as a Determinant of Protests Target Groups Researchers and students in the fields of growth empirics, application of econometric methods and tests in the sphere of growth economics, and in the modern Russian economy Practitioners in these areas The Author Vadim Kufenko is a research assistant at the Department of Economics at University of Hohenheim.  .

Abstract

"This book investigates the relationship between the character of political regimes in Russia's subnational regions and the structure of earnings and income. Based on extensive data from Russian official sources and surveys conducted by the World Bank, the book shows that income inequality is higher in more pluralistic regions. It argues that the relationship between firms and government differs between more democratic and more authoritarian regional regimes. In more democratic regions, business firms and government have more cooperative relations, restraining the power of government over business and encouraging business to invest more, pay more, and report more of their wages. Average wages are higher in more democratic regions and poverty is lower, but wage and income inequality are also higher. The book argues that the rising inequality in postcommunist Russia reflects the inability of a weak state to carry out a redistributive social policy"--
