Résumé anglais Economic Transitions: Price Changes in Russia in the 1920s, by Christian Gouriéroux and Irina Peaucelle. Russia underwent two types of transitions between 1921 and 1929. The first came about with the New Economic Policy (NEP) and took the form of a transition from a highly centralized war economy to a market economy. The second transition was an inverse development towards inaeasingly strict State control, which initially relied mainly on a prices policy for its implementation. This article consists of a descriptive analysis of retail and wholesale prices, industrial and agricultural prices and retail prices in Moscow. The aim in doing this is to establish some stable relations between these prices and find the main features of the transitions via these relations. What makes this work different is the utilization of rarely used data from Moscow's economic institute and the application of methods seldom seen in macroeconomic studies: such as moving averages, curve smoothing, and a moving presentation of variability and correlation all used here because of the erratic nature of the data.
