The new official estimates, using 1975 constant prices, provide the basis for assessing the growth rates from 1956-7 to 1977-8 as well as the changing importance, i.e. weights, of the following parts of the British economy: the main economic sectors, the main industrial categories, the manufacturing industries, and the branches of mining and trans port and communications.

The large-scale manufacturing sector of Pakistan has grown at an annual compound rate of 14.3 percent1 over the period 1949-50 to 1969-70. However, one does not know the rates at which different sub-sectors of this sector have grown in the past. Similarly, earlier studies done for an analysis of this sector's efficiency were limited to calculations of effective protection rates [3,7,10] or of comparative cost ratios [2]. What has not been studied before is the magnitude of the change in the efficiency of factor use in Pakistan. The absence of such literature in Pakistan stems essentially from the non-avail¬ability of consistent and reliable time series data at a disaggregated level. Pakistan's censuses of manufacturing industries hereinafter referred to as CMI, carried out almost every year, do contain data at a disaggregated level, but those data suffer from a serious undercoverage. Since the magnitude of the undercoverage shows wide fluctuations, the data cannot be used for computing growth rates. In an earlier study [4]2 an attempt was made to construct a consistent time series of data relating to the large-scale manufacturing sector. The data reported were at current prices, which need to be deflated for compu¬tation of growth rates at constant prices

In unequal societies, the rich may benefit from shaping economic institutions in their favor. This paper analyzes the dynamics of institutional subversion by focusing on public protection of property rights. If this institution functions imperfectly, agents have incentives to invest in private protection of property rights. The ability to maintain private protection systems makes the rich natural opponents of public protection of property rights and precludes grass-roots demand to drive the development of the market-friendly institution. The economy becomes stuck in a bad equilibrium with low growth rates, high inequality of income, and wide-spread rent-seeking. The Russian oligarchs of the 1990s, who controlled large stakes of newly privatized property, provide motivation for this paper.

The paper deals with Russian social and economic development in 2013 and prospects for the next year or two. The author discusses the logic and trends of the global crisis started in 2008. This is the basis for further analysis of current Russian economic performance with special emphasis on the problem of growth rates deceleration. Special attention is paid to economic risks and priorities of economic policy.

The paper applies multiregional CGE Economic Policy Projection and Analysis (EPPA) model to analyze major risks the Paris Agreement on climate change adopted in 2015 brings to Russia. The authors come to the conclusion that if parties of the Agreement meet their targets that were set for 2030 it may lead to the decrease of average annual GDP growth rates by 0.2-0.3 p. p. Stricter climate policies beyond this year would bring GDP growth rates reduction in2035-2050 by additional 0.5 p. p. If Russia doesn’t ratify Paris Agreement, these losses may increase. In order to mitigate these risks, diversification of Russian economy is required.
