Russian foreign trade price competitiveness
https://doi.org/10.32609/0042-8736-2014-1-108-129
Abstract
We examine export and import prices for Russian commodities relative to world prices during 2002—2011 across aggregated and disaggregated commodity groups. We also propose an aggregated export price competitiveness index as a tool of monitoring quality dynamics and a composite price competitiveness rating by commodity groups.
