By comparing established societies, characterized by wellestablished market economies and well-functioning democracies, with post-socialist societies, often characterized by emerging markets and fragile political systems, the series identifies and analyzes factors influencing change and continuity in societies and political orders. These factors include state capacity to establish formal and informal rules, democratic institutions, forms of social structuration, political regimes, levels of corruption, specificity of political cultures, as well as types and orientation of political and economic elites. Societies and Political Orders in Transition welcomes monographs and edited volumes from a variety of disciplines and approaches, such as political and social sciences and economics, which are accessible to both academics and interested general readers. Topics may include, but are not limited to, democratization, regime change, changing social norms, migration, etc.

Most researchers argue that formal or informal institutional mechanisms explain this persistence. Gerber's (2000) alternative explanation contends that not institutions but certain durable personal characteristics give ex-party members a leg up. He uses endogenous switching regression (ESR) to test his theory. We argue that Gerber's own model does not show that the ex-party members' economic advantage is psychological rather than institutional. Then we demonstrate that Gerber's model is incomplete and once we add missing variables in the selection equation the model reduces to simple Analysis of Covariance Regression suggesting no selection effect. Finally, we voice more general doubts about ESR.

(2) Shock therapy resulted in a several-years-long economic recession punctuated by periodic market-wide crashes, while large-scale privatization was discredited after it favored those with ties to the state and concentrated Russia's natural resources in the hands of the few. (3) As a consequence, the reformist government had been outperformed in Parliamentary elections in 1995 and nearly defeated in presidential elections of 1996. (4) Current president Putin's authoritarian rule and hawkish foreign policy (supported, no doubt, by the rise in world market prices of crude oil and natural gas) are also a consequence of Russia's bleak economic performance and political turmoil of the 1990s, and they symbolize an attempt to restore some of its lost might and ...
