Polterovich V.M. Institutional Experiment. // Economics of contemporary Russia 2013.
¹3 (62) Ñ.14.
The paper discusses some goals of institutional experimentation as well
as obstacles for its realization. A special attention is given to the regional
experiments. The institutional experiment reduces transformation costs, in
particular, by diminishing
a probability of forming the erroneous reforms trap. The analysis of introducing
a pay-as-you-go pension component in several tens of countries and the history
of introducing the Unified State Exam in Russia show the importance of planning
the
experiments in advance and using objective procedures of assessment of their
results. The reasons for adopting a law on the institutional experiment are
given.
Keywords: interim institution; transformational cost, line
of institutions, Unified State Exam, pension reform, experiment evaluation.
