Private sources of income of the Soviet urban household
ResearchPublished 1980
An analysis of the "second economy" in the Soviet Union. The work is based on a survey of family budgets of about 1,000 Jewish families who emigrated from the Soviet Union in the early 1970s. The families were asked basically to report on two things: (1) private sources and amounts of family income used to supplement family earnings from the public sector, and (2) the amount of goods and services purchased from private sellers. The analysis treats the income side and the purchase side separately. For each, it presents the data for the sample population as is, and then adjusts estimates and projects findings to fit the target (urban) population and some of the macroeconomic national aggregates, such as GNP and total household income.
