Sex ratio. Guttentag and Secord (1983) have suggested that imbalanced sex ratios contribute to higher rates of divorce. An undersupply of women or men should act to discourage divorce, because the range of potential mates following a possible divorce would be relatively small. Several researchers argued that specifically when fewer women are available in the marriage market, men will tolerate the status quo of their marriage rather than divorce their wives and risk not getting married again ([Clark, Roger] 1990; [Trent, Katherine] and South 1989). Fu (1992) challenged this assumption and found that sex ratio (logged) had no effect on the divorce rate. One basis for this challenge is that "this explanation ignores women's perspectives in a marriage, as if there are fewer women and men ar...

This paper starts with a brief description of recent Russian economic and political developments and identifies the poor institutional capacity of the state as the major obstacle to growth. Then cross-country regressions are used to provide evidence for two arguments. First, the single most important factor limiting the inflow of FDI to Russia seems to be the inefficiency of the government - its inability to enforce rules and regulations. It is not the lack of the rule of law, or high level of corruption, or insufficient democratization, or low degree of economic freedom. Second, given the poor government effectiveness, the benefits of FDI are quite weak and may be outweighed by cost (repatriation of profits, but no transfer of technology).
