The aim of the first essay is to analyze the possible impact of planned monetary integration on public sector revenues from seigniorage in Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia. Using the concept of total gross seigniorage, the main sources and uses of the central bank revenues in these countries is investigated. Special attention is given to the role of seigniorage revenues in financing public sector expenditures.

It is argued that an increase in labor market flexibility may change the relative price of goods within the country making it more competitive in international... 2006 info:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesis http://www.nusl.cz/ntk/nusl-271721 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess
