Chapter 5 in Human Resources, Employment and Development, 1983, pp 74-83 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract This paper presents the first results of the quantitative analysis of East European economic growth under varied forms of socialist planning (workers’ self-management in Yugoslavia, decentralised enterprise administration in Hungary, and central planning in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Poland and Romania).1 It is self-evident that the choice of the seven countries is of a set which underwent a socio-economic transformation on the eve of the period studied and which maintained the system then embraced throughout the period. In the case of Yugoslavia, a system of worker self-management was introduced in 1950 and all the other countries were operating almost identical planning mechanisms.
