Статья посвящена исследованию феномена мягких бюджетных ограничений (МБО). Хотя сам термин возник применительно к анализу поведения экономических субъектов в социалистических экономиках, он приобретает все большую актуальность и за их рамками. Авторы ставят перед собой две главные задачи: уточнение понятий и обзор формальных теоретических исследований данного феномена. В первой части статьи акцент сделан на анализе сущности синдрома МБО, способах его смягчения и соответствующих ожиданиях организаций. Проанализированы формальные модели МБО в социалистических и переходных экономиках.

The article deals with the phenomenon of the soft budget constraint (SBC). Though originally it was formulated to illuminate economic behavior in socialist economies, this concept is increasingly acknowledged to be pertinent well beyond their realm. The authors have two main objectives: conceptual clarification and survey of formal theoretical literature on SBC. In the first part of the article the accent is made on analyzing the essence of the SBC syndrome, means of its softening and corresponding expectations of organizations. Formal models of SBC in socialist and transition economies are also analyzed.
