Factors Influencing Distribution of Housing in the USSR.

摘要

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the factors affecting the distribution of urban residential housing in the Soviet Union. The analysis will utilize both the published Soviet data and the results of the Berkeley-Duke family budget survey of Soviet emigres. Presumably, residential housing is one of the most strictly rationed goods in the Soviet Union. The Soviet Constitution proclaims the right of Soviet citizens to housing and guarantees this right by 'fair allocation under public control' among other things.
