Abstract Our goal is to show that contrary to the claims made in several recent papers, the
effect of a large endowment of oil and other mineral resources on long-term economic
growth of countries has been on balance positive. Moreover, the claims of a negative ...

Abstract In centrally planned economies in which prices are fixed, and the rationing
mechanism is waiting line queues, we show that an equilibrium of waiting times exists. We
then introduce a “black market” in which individuals can trade commodities that they have ...

This note argues that the most commonly used estimates of the size of the unofficial

Economists devote considerable effort to the analysis of various forms of non-price rationing.

Transfers from a higher-level government budget may affect the incentives of lower-lever
governments to foster their tax base. If transfers offset completely changes in owned
budgetary revenues, fiscal incentives are destroyed. Using the data from a Russian region ...

investigated using a queue-rationing model. It is shown that to make every consumer better
off market clearing pricing may have to be accompanied by a differential monetary ...

cannot be used directly to estimate consumer behavior models. This paper represents an
attempt to overcome this problem by utilizing prices in a parallel “free” market. An ...
