The Economics of Transformation : Theory and Practice in the New Market Economies

edited by Alfred Schipke, Alan M. Taylor

The New Market Economies of Eastern Europe have been experiencing fundamental systemic changes over recent years. Nevertheless, the field of Economic Transformation is still in its infancy and some important policy questions have been neglected altogether. "The Economics of Transformation" addresses these deficiencies with coverage of theoretical and empirical issues and presents new results which challenge conventional wisdom. The book covers traditional topics such as price liberalization, privatization, and the reform of trade and financial markets. Political economy issues inform the discussion oftransformation and the question of who is likely to lose. It is a valuable source for both academics and policymakers
