“…Similar to the situation in China, unemployment surfaced in Russia during the late 1990s and many workers left the labour force. The downward spiral of the Russian labour market came to a halt during the beginning of the new millennium, which is approximately when the data analyzed here was collected; see Entov and Lugovoy (2013).…”

We confirm that earnings inequality has increased rapidly in both countries and is found to be similar across countries. As at the end of the 1980s, the gender wage gap is larger in Russia where earnings reach a maximum at a lower age than in China. The association between education and income in China has increased to become stronger than in Russia. The earnings penalty of being employed in the public service sector in Russia has increased while the publically employed in China enjoy a positive payoff of limited magnitude.JEL Classification: J16, J31, J45, P23

“…The first is the official estimation of physical capacity utilization of assets in Mining and Manufacturing. These series can be used for the calculation of a composite index with weights on the basis of the value of output for corresponding goods as suggested by Bessonov () and used by Entov and Lugovoy (). The problem is that they only refer to production of a few dozen products of mining, manufacturing, and energy distribution.…”

“…Recent growth accounting studies of Russia confirm this view and find that growth was mainly driven by improvements in the efficiency of input use, as measured by multi‐factor productivity (MFP) growth, rather than growth in labor and capital inputs. Entov and Lugovoy (), Jorgenson and Vu (), and Kuboniwa () all find that MFP growth was (much) higher than input growth in the period from about 1995 to 2008. Izyumov and Vahaly () find that input growth is even negative in this period, and all output growth is due to MFP growth.…”

Is Mining Fuelling Long‐Run Growth in Russia? Industry Productivity Growth Trends Since 1995

GDP per capita growth rates in Russia have been amongst the highest in the world since the mid-1990s. Previous growth accounting research at the macro-level suggests that this was mainly driven by multi-factor productivity (MFP) growth. In this paper we analyze for the first time the drivers of Russian growth at the level of industries. We derive a proper measure of capital services, instead of using stock measures as in previous research. Using this, we find that aggregate GDP growth is driven as much by capital input as MFP growth. Mining and Retailing industries are growing fast, but have poor MFP performance. In contrast, MFP growth was high in goods-producing industries but their share in GDP declined. MFP growth was highest in those industries that were particularly underdeveloped in the Russian economy in the 1990s.JEL Codes: L16, O47, P28
