Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Paper Description
We document unequal enforcement of liberalization reform of business regulation across Russian regions with different governance institutions which lead to unequal effects of liberalization. The enforcement of national liberalization laws was better in subnational regions with more transparent government, better informed population, closer monitoring by powerful industrial lobbies, and stronger fiscal autonomy. As a result, in better regions in terms of governance institutions, liberalization had a substantial positive effect on performance of small firms and growth of official small business sector. In contrast, in worse regions, we observe no effect of reform and, in some cases, even a negative effect.
