A Theory of Market Transition: From Redistribution to Markets in State Socialism

Nee, Victor·1989·American Sociological Review

Abstract

State socialist redistributive economies are characterized by the allocation and distribution of goods through central planning. This paper develops a theory of market transition which argues that, in reforming socialist economies, the transition from redistributive to market coordination shifts sources of power and privilege to favor direct producers relative to redistributors. The shit improves incentives for direct producers, stimulates the growth of private markets, and provides to entrepreneurs -an alternative path for socioeconomic mobility. A set of hypotheses test the market transition theory with householdand village-level data.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
