Title:  DOMESTIC PRICES FOR MOTOR GASOLINE. IS IT PERMISSIBLE TO INCREASE THEM?
Abstract: Over the fi rst few months of 2015, Russian domestic ruble-denominated retail and wholesale prices for motor
gasoline have stayed below their level that would have been achieved, should the law of one price (LOP) with
the foreign market be applied to this situation. The main factors behind this phenomenon may be the rigidity of
Russia’s domestic prices, infrastructural or regulatory constraints on commerce, and signifi cant alterations in the
export price structure. In view of the current situation, we can speak of a probable increase of domestic motor
gasoline prices in the nearest future.
