A materials-input index of Soviet construction, revised and extended.

R. P. Powell

ResearchPublished 1959

A revision of RM-1872 and RM-1873, which estimate changes in the physical volume of construction in the USSR from 1928 to 1955 and contain an index of the volume of materials used in construction in terms of 1937 prices. This memorandum extends the index to 1958. New data recently published in the USSR are incorporated, leading to more reliable estimates of changes over time of the volume of construction in the USSR. These estimates serve as component indicators of Soviet national income and product and provide data for analyses of Soviet economic war potential.
