Comprehensive Study on Integration of Russia into the World Economy

这项研究揭示了石油和天然气在理解俄罗斯融入世界经济中的关键重要性，通过对俄罗斯官方统计数据的深入分析，包括SNA（国民账户体系），投入产出表，国际收支，金融资源流动和预算统计。特别是，我们在世界上第一次证明，石油和天然气部门产生的利润在俄罗斯的统计数据中记录在贸易部门，它们代表了资本外逃的来源。我们在札幌召开的国际研讨会上以及在美国召开的学术会议上介绍了这些结果。这些研究成果发表在多个国际期刊上。同时，我们调查了上述俄罗斯统计数据的可靠性。这些调查是与俄罗斯统计局的统计人员共同进行的，调查结果也发表在国际期刊上。我们特别强调了独联体（独联体）组织在俄罗斯融入世界经济过程中所发挥的作用。我们组织了一批学者，从国际关系、证券、经济、政治、社会等不同学科的角度对独联体进行了研究，我们的贡献是对独联体在苏联解体后这十年中的作用作出了比较积极的评价，特别是在防止大规模国际和国内冲突以及提供各种调整和谈判机会方面的作用。我们在日本首次出版了一本关于独联体的书，并提出了这些想法。

This study revealed the key importance of the oil and natural gas in understanding the Russia's integration into the world economy through a thorough analysis of Russia's official statistics, including SNA (system of national accounts), input-output tables, balance of payments, flow of financial resources and budgetary statistics. Especially, we demonstrated for the first time in the world that profits generated in oil and gas sector were recorded in trade sector in Russia's statistics and they represented the sources for capital flights. We presented these results at the international symposium that we organized in Sapporo and also at panels in academic meetings in the US. These results were published in several international journals. Simultaneously, we investigated the soundness of the above-mentioned Russian statistics. These investigations were carried out as a joint work with statisticians of the Russia's statistical office, and results were also published in international journals.We put special emphasis on the role played by the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) organization in the process of Russia's integration into the world economy. We organized a group of scholars who studied the CIS from the standpoint of different disciplines such as international relations, securities, economics, politics, sociology and so on. Our contribution is a rather positive evaluation of the role of the CIS in these ten years after the collapse of the USSR, especially in the role of preventing large-scale international and domestic conflicts and of providing various opportunities for adjustment and negotiations. We published for the first time in Japan a book on the CIS and presented these ideas.
