Abstract

This study is about the effects reforms have had on industry's dispersion in Russia. We use data on regional production by industry reaching from 1987 to 1993 to consider to what extent the division of labor among regions has changed during this time period. In particular we address three issues on an industry by industry basis: Have there been significant changes in the localization of industries and have the changes been associated with concentration or diversification? Are there significant changes in the relative productivity's of industries in regions? Is there a connection between productivity changes and changes in localization?
