Abstract

It is a common view that wage differentials during the Soviet period were too narrow and that this contributed to the inefficiency of the Soviet economy. In particular, the economic incentives for acquiring education were considered very small (Gordon, 1987, Rimashevskaia and Onikov, 1991). The views of Western researchers were mixed, but many agreed. (Ofer and Vinokur, 1992, can be cited as an exception.) Granick (1987) claims that returns to education in the USSR were negative, while Chapman (1988) describes ‘wage-levelling’ as a problem for the Soviet economy.
