According to one estimate, Poland produced about 8 per cent of Imperial output in , and per capita income was about 5 roubles more than the mean of roughly 74 roubles Markevich, a.
Our industrial output series includes Poland for the Imperial period, which was more industrialized than Russia 23 against 14 roubles per capita in , but we are confident that our interpretations would hold if we were able to exclude that region. In the Moscow region, peasant households allocated much of their labour to proto-industrial activities in putting-out systems for weaving cloth, along with artisanal production of crafts and small-scale artisanal goods.
Limited quantitative evidence suggests that the number of factories and the factory labour force increased steadily over the first sixty years of the nineteenth century, albeit from extremely low levels. On Russian industrial growth before , see Blackwell and Kahan ; The installation of relatively high revenue tariffs on manufacturing goods from created some protection for domestic production, which persisted throughout the Tsarist era Blackwell, , Chapter 5.
Overall, the legal environment for large-scale industrial firms remained relatively weak in the Tsarist period Owen, Incorporation was expensive and politicized, although firms that did receive a formal charter were able to tap domestic and foreign capital markets and expand as a result Gregg, We do not think that excluding mining or fuels would significantly change the overall patterns.
Another component of state intervention in this period was a conservative macroeconomic policy environment geared towards establishing convertibility with gold—an achievement reached in For more revisionist work on rural living standards, see Dennison and Nafziger and Mironov At the same time, securities markets were often quite thin, and many firms probably faced credit constraints Gregg, Russian rates were comparable to those in land-rich and capital-scarce Argentina and Brazil in this period.
Although they provide little evidence on this, Cheremukhin et al. The extent of such arrangements remains unknown, and the literature asserts that tariffs were typically applied quite indiscriminately and that foreign capital inflows were increasingly in the form of portfolio investment over the period. Soviet policies also encouraged females to actively enter the labour force.
More than 40 per cent of employees in large industry establishments were women by Davies et al. Despite the decrease in industrial wages, average living standards exceeded pre levels by the late s, because of the reallocation of labour between sectors and an increase in employment Allen, Spatial data are also suggestive.
Using modern Canada and Imperial Russia as benchmarks, Mikhailova estimates that the population in Siberia and the Far East would have been 35 per cent less in if development had been entirely market driven.
The growth of Soviet GDP, total factor productivity, and factor inputs, — Note : The source is Ofer Our GDP per capita growth rates in Table 3. All numbers are average percentage growth rates over the period in question. The Cold War sharply curtailed technological imports. The experience of industry in other former Soviet Republics was roughly similar Aslund, a.
However, the rising importance of oil and natural gas rents is also evident in Fig. While the quantity of Russian natural gas exports rose over the period, other sources were coming online, and Russian production costs remained quite high, thereby reducing rents.
Obsolete technologies and capital vintages, coupled with deteriorating labour market conditions, generated extremely low factor utilization rates and industrial productivity that persisted well after McKinsey Global Institute, Moreover, the legacies of the geographic misallocation of Soviet industrial activity further raised the costs of inputs, labour, and transportation Hill and Gaddy, On the other hand, the poor institutional environment for businesses has constrained firm entry and reinforced concentration, especially in connection to a rebound in state ownership and control in resource-related sectors.
Imports and exports rose sharply, with the net trade balance positive and constituting between 8 and 20 per cent of GDP from onwards Table 3. Thus, the story of industrial decline—in manufacturing as well as mining—in the s is much more about the decline in capital and labour services than about technological factors.
However, recent political constraints on trade have possibly fostered conditions for some growth in domestic manufacturing Connolly, In general, recent Putin policies may be mimicking import-substitution industrialization policies often associated with Latin American stagnation Tarr and Volchkova, All Rights Reserved.

These lines were financed primarily with foreign capital and as the domestic iron industry was unable to meet the demand for rails, locomotives and wagons, these had to be imported.
Alexander II finally eliminated serfdom in , but this did not result in economic growth because the peasants remained dependent on the noble landowners, and in the mines of the Urals, which were worked by serfs, iron production even declined.
However, the expanding rail network helped to significantly increase grain exports via the ports of the Baltic and Black Seas. The government now began to channel funding into heavy industry, production of hard coal increased, as did iron and steel production, and towards the end of the 19th century the Russian Empire experienced the first phase of industrialisation.
In this initial period of growth, the government succeeded in stabilising the rouble with the aid of import tariffs and by attracting foreign investment. Construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway commenced in — primarily for strategic reasons — and was completed in Petersburg developed into a centre for machinery manufacturing, while the textile industry in particular flourished in Moscow.
Yet outside of these two rapidly growing metropolises, Russia was still an agrarian country when the Bolsheviks seized power in Steelmaking and coal mining — in the formerly soviet Ukraine and in Siberia — quadrupled. New power stations delivered electricity, new canals and railways facilitated transportation, and the economic development of Siberia continued to advance.
However, this rapid advancement through the ranks of the great industrial nations came at the price of flagrant neglect of agriculture, dramatic shortages of consumer goods, and the constant fear of the ruthless power of the state. Motovolikha Copper Mill.
