Очень показательный график миграции изобретателей, то есть людей регистрирующих патенты. США и Швейцария лидеры по притоку изобретателей с 2001 по 2010г. Интересно, что рынки акций этих стран являются лидерами роста стоимости с 2007 года.

«Accumulation of private and public wealth in China and Russia»

Since 1980, many economies around the world have experienced two trends: rising aggregate private wealth-income ratio and increasing income inequality. These trends have been particularly spectacular in China and Russia since their transitions from communism to more capitalist orientated economic systems.

The transition to a mixed economy has taken different economic and political forms in China and Russia—with different privatization strategies for public assets, in particular. These different strategies have had a large impact on inequality and wealth ownership. In China, the transition has involved gradual but nevertheless wide-ranging reforms. The reforms were implemented progressively, from special economic zones in coastal cities toward inland provincial regions, and in sectoral waves. By contrast, Russia opted for a “big-bang” transition after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1990–1991, with a rapid transfer of public assets to the private sector and the hasty introduction of free market economic principles.

In this paper, we compare our recent findings on private and public wealth accumulation in China and Russia, and discuss the impact of the different privatization strategies followed in the two countries on income inequality.

«Estimating capital flight and offshore wealth in Russia»

In order to estimate the rise and magnitude of offshore wealth held by Russian households, it is natural to start by looking at the evolution of Russia’s trade balance and balance of payments. Here the striking fact is the contrast between the very large trade surpluses and the relatively modest foreign assets.
