USSR: Measures of Economic Growth and Development, 1950-80

Central Intelligence Agency · 1982-12-08 · 399 pages · text from the file's own layer

This Joint Committee Print, dated December 8, 1982, gathers studies that the Central Intelligence Agency's Directorate of Intelligence prepared for the Joint Economic Committee of the US Congress. It gives estimates of Soviet gross national product for 1950 to 1980, with indexes of industrial production, agricultural production and consumption, and explains the methods and data behind them. The foreword says official Soviet statistics inflate growth and that the CIA measures offer a more accurate picture. The document contains no UFO material.

the same in 1980 as they were in 1950. Essentially the
same finding holds true when patterns are compared
in current prices. Within the goods category, however,
there has been a relatively slow decline (by interna-
tional standards) in the share of food, beverages, and
tobacco and a concomitant rise in the share of soft
goods and especially durables." This direction of
change is to be expected from Engel’s law concerning
the relationship of expenditures on food to total
consumption expenditures as incomes rise. Within the
services, there has been a small increase in the role of
personal services and a moderate drop in the role of
communal services. The shares of transportation and
communications have risen appreciably, while the
share of housing has declined.

These matters are explored in more detail in a comparative
framework in Schroeder and Edwards, op. Cll.
