BASIS Russia Project 2001 - 2004
This three-year research project supported by the U.S.
Agency for International Development as part of its BASIS/CRSP
collaborative
research support program focused on the development of factor markets
in
Russian agriculture – markets for labor, purchased inputs, land, and
credit.
The project leaders, Bruce Gardner from the University
of Maryland at College
Park and Evgeniya Serova from the Analytical
Centre on
Agri-Food Economics in Moscow,
organized a group of Russian and Western researchers whose work
produced two
comprehensive publications, both edited by Zvi Lerman
from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem:
Factor Market Constraints on Economic Growth in
Russian
Agriculture, special issue of Comparative Economic Studies
, Vol.
47, No. 1 (March 2005).
Russia’s Agriculture in Transition: Factor
Markets and
Constraints on Growth, Lexington Books, Lanham,
MD (2008).
These publications are dedicated posthumously to
the memory
of Bruce Gardner, who died prematurely in March 2008. Without him none
of this
would have happened.
The links below are to a set of questionnaires (in
Russian
and English) that were used to conduct a survey of some 600 respondents
as part
of the project.
