  • Ten Years of Economic Reforms in Russia: Windows in a Wall
    Ten Years of Economic Reforms in Russia: Windows in a Wall CHRISTINE LANG* SHLOMO WEBER** I. Introduction The August crisis of 1998 had a devastating effect on financial markets in Russia. Russia announced a default on foreign debt payments for the three-month period (and is still having a difficult time meeting them), while the short-term debt was fully and unilaterally restructured towards long-term debt. In one year's time, the market volume of the Russian Trading System (RTS) stock market exchange has plunged from $70 billion to a mere $5 billion. The 1998 financial crisis is reminiscent of another crisis in 1989-1990 when Russia was still a part of the Soviet Union. Ten years of reform, first towards a socialist market economy and then to a market economy, have focused on an irreversible change in Russian economy and policy. In this paper we try to assess some of the gains and losses of the first decade of transition. We argue that, while democracy is still at risk in Russia, a Russian citizen has matured as a voter, a consumer, and an investor. Political and economic progress, however, are still hampered by the poor and criminalized state of business and political spheres. Russia badly needs a president, parliament, and government having the will and power to face the country's tremendous challenges. The maturation of the electorate provides for a better "Christine Lang is Visiting Scholar, Central Economic Mathematical Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia, and Assistant Professor at the University of Geneva, Switzerland.

Two-Stage Partial Observability Models of Innovation Adoption Abstract Many theories on the adoption and diffusion of innovations posit that adoption is the outcome of a decision process. A two-stage conception of that process involving an awareness stage followed by a stage combining evaluation and adoption seems particularly useful. Several empirical studies indicate that the effect of mass media and change agents is relatively concentrated in creating awareness, while the effect of personal influence from earlier adopters (i.e., social contagion) is more concentrated in bringing about a positive evaluation and hence adoption. A frustrating problem, however, is that most data record only the final outcome of the process, i.e. the time of adoption. We bridge this gap in richness between theory and data by developing new event history models, which we call partial observability models of innovation adoption.

The course starts by examining the motivations for and challenges of forming political states and institutions, and how the structure and workings of political institutions a ect economic outcomes and societal welfare. Topics include: the origins of states, anarchy and the social contract, liberalism, wars and arms races, constitutional design, federalism, models of strategic voting behavior, asymme- tries of information and voting behavior, agenda formation and control, logrolling, lobbying, vote-buying and political in uence, nomination processes, and the politics of federations of states. Prerequisite: Economics 220. Requirements: You will be continuing the work on the projects that you began in Economics 220. This will involve re ning a model and producing some results if the problem you proposed in 220 was theoretical in nature, and if the work is empirical, then you should begin or continue your analysis of data. There will be several di erent due dates of updates on the project. The projects will be judged based on the progress made past what was completed in 220. In the latter part of the course, there will also be student presentations and discussions of some of the papers. A note on the readings and class discussions: Reading the papers before class is critical to the course, as much of the emphasis of the course will not only be on \what" the papers tell us, but also on \why" these are interesting issues and \how" the research was conducted.

  • What Is Economic Sociology and Should Any Economists Care?
    What Is Economic Sociology and Should Any Economists Care? Robert Gibbons* Robert Gibbons is Sloan Distinguished Professor of Organizational Economics and Strategy, Sloan School of Management and Department of Economics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts. * I am grateful to Tim Taylor for helpful comments and to Jim Baron, Roberto Fernandez, Jim March, Joel Podolny, Jesper Sorensen, and Ezra Zuckerman for patient tutoring. 1 A couple years ago, two of my colleagues independently proposed approximately the same title for their respective contributions to a series of lunchtime talks: “Why Erving Goffman Is My Hero (and Should Be Yours, Too).” I emerged from these two lunches mightily impressed – both by Goffman’s (1959) insights into The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life and by the potential for Goffman’s micro-sociological research to inspire a major new research stream in behavioral game theory. In a similar spirit, I considered titling this introduction “Why Robert Merton Is My Hero,” but this approach seemed prone to at least two problems. First, explaining hero worship in a short space would probably require poetry, which is not my forte. Second, I feared that the title would be opaque to those economists who would immediately think of Robert C. Merton, the Nobel Laureate in financial economics, rather than his father Robert K. Merton, one of the great sociologists in the history of that discipline. I take the ideas in these papers and their underlying sociological literatures quite seriously. In fact, one sociologist friend recently declared that I have an “economist’s eye for the sociological guy.” More precisely, my interest is in economic sociology, which I will define as the sociology of economic actors and institutions; see the two Handbooks of Economic Sociology by Smelser and Swedberg (1994, forthcoming) for volumes of detail.

The LOFT conferences, which have been a regular biannual event since 1994, are interdisciplinary events that bring together researchers from a variety of fields: cognitive psychology, computer science and artifi- cial intelligence, economics, game theory, linguistics, logic, mind sciences, philosophy, social choice and statistics.1 In its original conception, LOFT had as its central theme the applica- tion of logic, in particular modal epistemic logic, to foundational issues in 1The first conference was hosted by the Centre International de Recherches Mathe- matiques in Marseille (France), the next four took place at the International Centre for Economic Research in Torino (Italy), the sixth was hosted by the Graduate School of Management in Leipzig (Germany), the seventh took place at the University of Liverpool (United Kingdom) and the eighth at the University of Amsterdam (The Netherlands).

Jonathan Bach: [email protected]. David Stark: [email protected]. Abstract Interactive technology is a key factor used to explain the recent growth and prominence of NGOs, who today are engaged in the transformation of national, international and transnational political space. Yet technology cannot explain NGOs’ rise, for technology is but a context which afford opportunities. We ask what it is that allows NGOs to take advantage of new circumstances, and focus our discussion on the co-evolution of NGOs with interactive technology. Our approach is part of a growing body of social science research that seeks to overcome the artificial divide between “society” and “technology” by viewing the social as consisting of humans and non- humans (objects, things, artifacts). Viewing technology not as a tool but as part of a co- evolutionary process that shapes organizational forms and practices will help us understand why NGOs have, given the opportunities provided by the retrenchment of the welfare state and the end of the cold war, been able to assume a more powerful and controversial role as co-constituents of global transformation.
