functions for the replacement of labor by assets. However, taking into account the absence of a reliable comparative statistical basis, we use equations constructed from the retrospective dynamic series of labor intensity. They reflect the average, actually realized tendency for the alteration of labor productivity and characterize the ««responding long-term regularities in the increase in efficiency of the use of manpower. The logical sequence of determining the consequences of transition to market relations with due account of the presented prerequisites consists in the following. First the original legislatively defined conditions of functioning of the market economy must be formed. They are taxes (imposed on the population and enterprises), deductions for social insurance, norms of amortization, etc. In addition, the principles and limits of emissions of the means of payment are determined as well as the fluctuation of the currency rate and other external parameters. On the whole, the original conditions establish the rules of interaction of independent subjects of economic management. Next the main indexes of the financial turnover are determined, i.e., the incomes and expenses of the state, of enterprises, of the population and the credit system. The wholesale and the retail prices are balanced, the incomes of the population and other indicators of the social support are indexed, the level of profitability is determined as well as the deposit and loan interest, the state loan interest, etc. Proceeding from the current level of prices, the deposit and loan interests, incomes of the population and the profitability of various branches of industry and the national economy as a whole, the variation of the demand for goods, services, investments and material resources is estimated. This part of computations simulates, in a certain sense, the behavior of various subjects of economic management under the conditions of the market economy. The estimated full demand and the forecast concerning the efficiency of the use of the resources are employed for determining the expected rates and proportions of the development of the economy concerning all the branches of the industry and the national economy (the branches of the nonproductive sphere inclusive). Every cycle is completed by the calculation of the macroeconomic indexes, namely, the gross national product, national income, etc. To my mind, the state assignment in its new understanding will make it possible to foresee, for the transition period, the most effective combination of different, sometimes contradictory, elements of the economic mechanism, to shorten the transition period, to foresee and to minimize its negative consequences, and, in future, to ensure a socially oriented development of the economy on a qualitatively new basis. 4.2. Problems of Establishment of Market Relations Under the Conditions of Transition from the Administrative System of Management of the National Economy to Predominantly Economic Methods of Management It was already obvious at the middle of 1990 that a transition to the market economy was inevitable, that it was the only way of overcoming difficulties and achieving a high level of economic 1 0 3
