The Soviet economy experienced a marked decline in the rate of growth of output in the mid 1970s. Research was conducted for Soviet postwar industry in order to try and identify when the shift was strongest, and in which industrial branches. A statistical technique known as the "Chow Test" was used to test for a "break" year -- the year when the production function most dramatically changed. Regression results showed that two types of industry -- that which was closely associated with military production, and industry responsible for producing consumer goods, showed little or no shift in the mid 1970s. The remaining sectors, which were primarily resource intensive, did show a significant shift in 1974. A description of the investigation, including input data and regression results, is included. / M.A.

Bibliography: leaves 651-699. "Through case studies of three emerging economies - Ecuador, Nigeria and Russia - this thesis analyses the factors present to a greater or lesser degree in emerging economies, such as severe foreign indebtedness and the absence of the rule of law, that undermine the effectiveness of the legal system in protecting indigenous peoples from oil exploitation. Having identified these factors, I propose that a dual approach to the protection of indigenous peoples' traditional lands and their environment be adopted, whereby international laws that set out the rights of indigenous peoples and place duties on states in this regard, are reinforced and translated into practice through the self-regulation of the international oil industry through a voluntary code of conduct for oil companies seeking to operate on indigenous peoples' traditional lands."
