Austerity that Never Was? The Baltic States and the Crisis

Rainer Kattel () and Ringa Raudla

Economics Policy Note Archive from Levy Economics Institute

Abstract: The commonly cited example of the successful application of "internal" devaluation as a strategy for economic recovery is that of the Baltic economies. In this Policy Note, we discuss whether the Baltic austerity plan worked, how it was designed to work-and, most important, whether it can be replicated anywhere else. We argue that the Baltic recovery has unique features that do not relate to domestic austerity policies, nor are they replicable elsewhere.
