Macroeconomic studies: inflation, “Dutch disease” and labour resources

Three macroeconomic studies prepared in 2007 for the Ministry of Economy and Budget Planning. The first examined inflationary processes in Kazakhstan and sought the optimal ratio between the inflation rate and the rate of economic growth. The second investigated the factors and threats of “Dutch disease” in Kazakhstan and proposed a set of measures to prevent it. The third, commissioned through the Economic Research Institute JSC, studied the role of labour resources in Kazakhstan's economy.
