László Halpern () and Charles Wyplosz ()

No 2001_1, ECE Discussion Papers Series from UNECE

Abstract: This paper discusses the relevance of the Balassa-Samuelson effect for the transition economies since 1990. Their experience is consistent with this hypothesis and the further implications of this are discussed especially in regard to EMU targets for exchange rate stability and inflation.
