Economic Growth under a Self-Interested Central Planner and Transition to a Market Economy
将苏联型经济建模为自利计划者最大化非生产性国家消费的贴现流，比较其稳态与拉姆齐-卡斯模型，分析转型的长期后果，并解释1929-1991年苏联增长经验。
The Soviet-type economy is modeled as a self-interested planner maximizing a discounted stream of unproductive state consumption. Consumption is provided to workers in order to elicit labor supply, and the state is a monopsonist in the labor market. Comparison of this model's steady state with that of the Ramsey–Cass model provides insights into the longer-run consequences of transition. Two types of effects are identified: supply-side effects that increase output through elimination of deadweight losses and a preference-shift effect associated with the difference between state and household discount rates. The model is also used to explain the Soviet growth experience during 1929–1991, in particular the Stalinist industrialization drive and the postwar growth slowdown.J. Comp.
