This paper is the first attempt at quantitative and qualitative analysis of the Soviet literature on general equilibrium theory in 1960-1990s. We divide the papers into four subgroups: von Neumann-Gale class of models and equilibrium growth; Arrow-Debreu class of models; disequilibrium theory; other branches of general equilibrium theory. Bibliometric analysis shows that von Neumann-Gale class of models was the most popular one in the Soviet mathematical economics.

The paper explores various measures of institutional quality in Russian regions, and compares those measures to each other. Such analysis leads to the conclusion that Russian regional institutions are essentially multidimensional, and therefore comparisons of Russian regions in terms of their overall institutional quality could be problematic. New institutional indexes are derived from Russian enterprise surveys held under the BEEPS project of the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development. Such indexes yield a typology of Russian regions in terms of efficacy of regional administrations' control over economy and bureaucracy in their regions. Dynamics of regional institutional indexes is investigated against the backdrop of Russia-wide institutional trends.
