The conversion of national income data of the U.S.S.R. to concepts of the system of national accounts in dollars and estimation of growth rate
Campbell, Robert
This paper develops estimates of Soviet gross national product (GNP) in rubles for the 1970s and in dollars for selected years in the 1970s. The paper also considers alternative ways for converting the GNP estimates in rubles to U.S. dollars, and suggests the use of purchasing power parity ratio. Finally, the paper discusses various measures of output growth in the USSR, and concludes that the official indexes for growth of net material product exaggerate the rate of growth of aggregate output.
