  • What Does Modern Political Economics Tell Us About the Fate of Russia’S Reforms?
    FREE Policy Brief Series What Does Modern Political Economics Tell Us about the Fate of Russia’s Reforms? Sergei Guriev, NES/CEFIR September, 2011 After the 2008-09 crisis, Russia is facing a new set of challenges. The pre-crisis sources of growth have been exhausted. In order to implement its growth potential and catch up with OECD countries, Russia must improve its investment and business climate. Although the reform agenda has been repeatedly discussed, it is not being implemented. The explanation is provided by modern political economics: what is good policy (in terms of social welfare and growth) is not necessarily good politics (for a country’s rulers). In this sense, modern Russia is a perfect example of the non-existence of a political Coase theorem. Although everybody understands that the status quo is suboptimal, the most likely outcome is further postponement of reforms. Whither Russia? book’s different chapters arrived at similar conclusions, which might be summarized as follows: while Russia came out of the crisis in In 2009, the New Economic School joined the a reasonably good shape and has nothing to Russia Balance Sheet project launched by two fear in the near term, it has serious long-term DC-based think tanks: the Center for Strategic problems that need to be addressed as soon as and International Studies and the Peterson possible; however , it is unfortunately the case Institute for International Economics. The aim that Russia is unlikely to implement the of the project was to assess Russia’s assets and required reforms, since they go against the liabilities.

  • Is Political Risk Company-Specific? the Market Side of the Yukos Affair*
    Is Political Risk Company-Specific? The Market Side of the Yukos Affair* † ‡ Alexei Goriaev and Konstantin Sonin September 2007 Abstract The Yukos affair, a state-led assault on controlling shareholders of a private Russian oil company, demonstrated the shaky nature of property rights in emerging markets. As it appeared, the market was more effective in determining the underlying causes than business and political analysts. While some rating agencies first predicted no threat to company creditors, the stock market correctly predicted that (i) political ambitions of the Yukos CEO and other majority shareholders would prove damaging to their business; and (ii) arrests of Yukos’ top managers for unrelated criminal charges was a signal of across-the-board toughening of the state policy towards big business. Among private companies, the risk appeared especially high for non- transparent companies, oil companies, and companies privatized via the infamous loans-for- shares auctions. Surprisingly, transparent state-owned companies were also very sensitive to Yukos events. This evidence suggests that investors considered the risks of a company losing its value due to the political ambitions of its top management, but were also concerned with tax and privatization reviews for private companies and inefficient government interference for state- owned ones.

To perform this task effectively, the EBRD needs to understand the key remaining transition challenges that these countries face. Russia, the largest economy where the EBRD operates, faces a very specific and difficult challenge – the task of diversifying its economy, ending its heavy reliance on exports of oil, gas and other minerals. This publication looks in detail at policies that can help to achieve economic diversification. It pays particular attention to Russia’s regional diversity and uses evidence from a number of surveys conducted jointly by the EBRD and the World Bank, including the Business Environment

  • Role of Civil Society in Transition
    Civil Society Programme at the Annual Meeting 2016 25 years of transition: The role of civil society in central and eastern Europe and Central Asia A fireside chat between Sergei Guriev, Professor at the Sciences Po Paris (incoming EBRD Chief Economist) and Biljana Radonjic Ker-Lindsay, Head of Civil Society Engagement at the EBRD Wednesday, 11 May 10.00- 11.30 CSO Meeting Room 1, Level 2 Civil society, operating in the space between public and private sectors, has played an important role in socio-political and economic transition processes around the world, including the EBRD’s traditional countries of operations. In 25 years since the establishment of the EBRD, civil society’s contribution to transition has varied across the post-communist transition region. In some countries, the work of civil society organisations (CSOs) has contributed to more democratic political systems and more open market based economies as a ‘reputational actor’ performing a ‘watchdog’ function and as a generator of ‘social capital’ necessary to sustain the change process through the difficult early years. In other countries, the focus of CSOs has been on providing a variety of social services particularly to disadvantaged and vulnerable people negatively affected by the transition process. Many civil society actors have been operating in restrictive regulatory environments, and have relied heavily on international donor funding. What has been civil society’s input into promoting good governance, sustainable development and economic inclusion in EBRD’s traditional region over the past few decades? What are the key lessons learned, from both its successes and failures that can be applied to other countries embarking on a transition process? What steps could be taken to increase the role of civil society in promoting positive changes in societies and economies? The discussion will look back at the key achievements and setbacks of the civil society sector in contributing to transition since the Bank’s establishment.

  • The US and Russia
    The US and Russia: They Don‟t Need Us Andrei Shleifer Daniel Treisman September 28, 2010 Russia‟s international behavior during the last decade puzzles many American observers. As seen from Washington, the greatest current challenges—terrorism, nuclear proliferation, climate change—are global ones that threaten all states. The US, the world‟s only remaining superpower, has been trying to organize multilateral responses. Yet, on issue after issue, the Kremlin has proved singularly unhelpful. For years, Russian negotiators stalled efforts to compel Iran and North Korea to give up nuclear weapons or weapons programs. Moscow has applied economic and diplomatic pressure to keep nearby states from joining NATO or letting American troops use their bases to fight the Taliban in Afghanistan. In late 2008, Russia invaded its southern neighbor Georgia and effectively detached two mountain enclaves from its territory. More recently, some have seen hints of a thaw. Last June, Presidents Obama and Medvedev chatted over hamburgers in Washington and announced that their countries‟ relationship had been “reset.” Moscow has signed a new treaty to replace the expiring START and backed a UN resolution tightening sanctions on Iran. Yet, in other ways, the Kremlin continues to disappoint and shock. Russian leaders only agreed to sanctions on Iran that permitted them to continue selling the country nuclear power stations and, apparently, developing its oil and gas sectors. Reset or no reset, in 2009 Russia conducted military exercises simulating an invasion of Poland, and it has deployed advanced anti-aircraft missiles south of its border in Abkhazia. To explain such behavior, officials and commentators appeal to psychology.
