Abstract
ABSTRACT This study examines deindustrialisation in 15 post-Soviet economies by investigating the country-specific fixed effect in the relationships among manufacturing, population, and income and the factors contributing to deindustrialisation in terms of the premature deindustrialisation hypothesis. The fixed-effect estimation suggests deindustrialisation in the ten middle-income post-Soviet countries due to their comparative disadvantages in manufacturing as the overall contributor, with the lack of human capital, the Dutch Disease effect (mainly in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, the Russian Federation, and Uzbekistan), and immature institutions (mainly in Kyrgyz, Tajikistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan) as sub-factors that explain deindustrialisation in these countries based on factor analyses.
期刊介绍:
Post-Communist Economies publishes key research and policy articles in the analysis of post-communist economies. The basic transformation in the past two decades through stabilisation, liberalisation and privatisation has been completed in virtually all of the former communist countries, but despite the dramatic changes that have taken place, the post-communist economies still form a clearly identifiable group, distinguished by the impact of the years of communist rule. Post-communist economies still present distinctive problems that make them a particular focus of research.
