Official Statistics in Russia and the Measurement of the Crisis — Some Remarks on Russian Price Statistics

  • Chapter

Abstract

Every solution in economic policies needs a functional informational infrastructure. The base for the economic policies is supplied by official statistics. Nowadays there is very little literature about the institutional transformation of state statistics in Russia. The project connected with the statistical analysis of the Russian Federation deals with three subjects:

  • The conversion of official statistics from a state instrument of planning and controlling into an independent and neutral instrument of information.

  • The development of sensitive and sensible methods for the measurement of prices, being relatively robust against the transformation of other subjects.

  • The measurement of prices as one important indicator of the transformation from a centrally planned to a market economy.
