Accounting rates of return have been criticized by theoretical researchers as biased estimates of the economic rate of return. If true, results of past industrial organization research utilizing accounting measures of profitability are called into question. Using Tobins q to proxy for the economic rate of return, this study empirically investigates whether accounting rates of return are biased proxies for the economic rate of return. The empirical results support the findings of theoretical research.

The chapter of “Institutional Economics” textbook is devoted to the development of business-groups as a specific feature of industrial organization in the Russian economy. The main determinants of forming and functioning of business-groups such as allocation of property rights in Soviet enterprises, networks of directors and executive authorities in the Soviet economic system as well as import of new institutes and inefficient state enforcement are in the center of analysis. Origins, structure, organization and management within the groups and the role of shareholding and informal control rights are considered.
