A Microeconomic Explanation for the Macroeconomic Effects of Inter-Enterprise Arrears in Post-Soviet Economies

Abstract

This paper has therefore made an effort to give a microeconomic explanation of the accumulation of arrears and to analyse their-relationship with other macroeconomic aggregates. In addition to that, the impact of distinct policy measures has been derived within the framework of the model. Although the paper takes a very special view by making some quite heroic assumption, the conclusions from our analysis fit quite well into the post-Soviet reality.
