Closing the ‘Bergson Gap’: New Data on a Problem in Soviet Statistics1
Over 50 years ago, Abram Bergson, Janet Chapman and others sought to assess the large gap in Soviet statistics between the published wage bill and the full wage bill, and Frank Lorimer drew attention to the related gap between the employment data in the 1939 population census and in the annual employment returns. Soviet archives, which have recently been declassified, show the way in which Soviet Moscow and local statisticians handled this problem, and reveal the considerable extent to which the findings of the Western authors were accurate.
