    Oil and Gas: A Blessing for the Few. Hydrocarbons and Inequality within Regions in Russia
    in Europe-Asia Studies , vol. 61, n. 3, May ,  2009 ,  385-407
    Building on earlier work on regional inequality in Russia the article seeks to demonstrate that the regional oil and gas abundance is associated with high within-region inequality. It provides empirical evidence that hydrocarbons represent one of the leading determinants of an increased gap between rich and poor in the producing regions. The discussion focuses on a possible cluster of geographic, economic and political factors underlying the phenomenon.
