We find that official survey-based<br \/>\nmeasures vastly under-estimate the rise of inequality since 1990. According to our<br \/>\nbenchmark estimates, top income shares are now similar to (or higher than) the<br \/>\nlevels observed in the United States. We also find that inequality has increased<br \/>\nsubstantially more in Russia than in China and other ex-communist countries in<br \/>\nEastern Europe. We relate this finding to the specific transition strategy followed in<br \/>\nRussia. According to our benchmark estimates, the wealth held offshore by rich<br \/>\nRussians is about three times larger than official net foreign reserves, and is<br \/>\ncomparable in magnitude to total household financial assets held in Russia<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amseif.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/From-Soviets-to-Oligarchs.pdf\">From Soviets to Oligarchs : FULL TEX<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Soviets to Oligarchs:\u00a0Inequality and Property in Russia 1905-2016 Filip Novokmet (Paris School of Economics) Thomas Piketty (Paris School of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2339,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[904],"tags":[1484,1486,1488],"class_list":["post-2336","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-usefull-documents","tag-inequality","tag-property","tag-russia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/amseif.ir\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/amseif.ir\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/amseif.ir\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amseif.ir\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amseif.ir\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2336"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/amseif.ir\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2336\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2341,"href":"https:\/\/amseif.ir\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2336\/revisions\/2341"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amseif.ir\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/amseif.ir\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amseif.ir\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amseif.ir\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
