A Guide to the Russian Academy of Sciences - University of Texas ...

Retrospect: Created in 1963 by a merger of a number of bodies including the Laboratory
of Economic Mathematical Methods of the AN SSSR, the Department of
Mathematical Mathematics of the Computer Center of the AN SSSR, the
Mathematical Group on the Economic Efficiency of Capital investment s of the
Economics Institute of the AN SSSR, and the Department of the Cybernetics of
Transport of the Institute of Integrated Transport Problems of GOSPLAN--the
USSR State Planning Committee, and the Laboratory of Mathematical Methods of
the Council for the Study of Productive Forces affiliated with GOSPLAN. The
Institute deals with developing a system for the Optimal Functioning of a Socialist
Economy. The institute has a staff of 417 researchers that includes 55 who hold
doctoral degrees and 184 who hold candidate degrees. Three corresponding
members of the Russian Academy of Sciences are on the staff. Valerii L. Makarov,
D. PM. S., academician of the academy has been the institute Director since 1966.

Structure of the institute: The institute is divided into 11 Departments , a computer
center and two special units as follows:
(1.) planning models of public welfare with the analysis and construction of target functions
of social planning laboratory, the balance and optimizing methods of socioeconomic
planning laboratory, and the models of coordination of the social and production
spheres in the development of the national economy laboratory;
(2.) the economic and territorial planning models with the modeling of joint economic and
territorial proportionalities laboratory, the man-machine means of communication for
automated workplaces in the field of planning laboratory, and the optimizing the
development of integrated and interrelated branches of industry laboratory;
(3.) the development and use of economic-mathematical methods of planning in various
branches of industry and productive units with the methodology of planning in
