Osipian

This book presents an investigation of economic growth in Russia. The sharp decline in the national production that Russia endured in the 1990s resulted in Russia plunging into the poverty trap. The goal of this book is to determine whether and how Russia manages to overcome the poverty trap and initiate and sustain economic growth.
