In recent years the Russian and Chinese economies have grown rapidly. At the same time, their importance for the global economy has increased, and they have become more and more integrated with the global economy. December, the Bank of Finland Institute for Economies in Transition (BOFIT) will host a research seminar devoted to this integration process and its consequences.
