Blog about the economy of Ukraine and the post-Soviet space
5 minutes of PR.
if you don't know yet, we are with created a new blog about the economy of Ukraine and the post-Soviet space – . theme as title. what is interesting to us for sure, these are questions of the shadow economy, monetary policy and general cut by macroaggregates. in the future and the topic will be wider, and more posts, and the posts themselves are more voluminous.
for example, fresh post:
Let's continue what we started in the topic of shadow in foreign trade. At that time we compared the data of Ukrstat and Eurostat, highlighted part of European statistics, which is not included in the Ukrainian statistics, and received, thus, shadow import and export for Ukraine. Today we will try to define in a similar way (I'll tell you right away, which is not nearly as accurate, as for the EU) shadow in Ukraine's foreign trade with the CIS countries. Our methodology will be slightly different. – The thing is, what, analyzing trade with the EU, we considered European statistics a priori more complete than Ukrainian, which cannot be said about the statistics of the CIS countries. Besides, trading operations, not included in the statistics on both sides (ie. smuggling), in the case of the EU can be considered relatively insignificant, the same cannot be said about post-Soviet trade, here the share of such operations can be very large.
