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.

Description of the Index
Table B-6 shows the construction of the index of
agriculture’s purchases of nonagricultural materials.
It is a weighted average of 10 indexes of separate
types of materials. The indexes are derived partly
from data published in the Narkhoz and partly from
89
data gathered from Soviet monographs on agricul-
ture. In particular, data for agriculture’s use of
mineral fertilizer and electric power are published in
the Narkhoz. The index of use of skim milk is
assumed to equal the index of industrially produced
