Growth Theory and Transition Economies

Abstract: Abstract After almost a decade of ‘transitioning’ and ‘transforming’, it seems that for all the 27 transition economies, the first phase of economic transition is over. Decline in production has stopped for all of them and some have already experienced several years of economic growth. All have introduced markets and chosen a wide range of market structures and institutions to underpin them. Similarly, all have liberalized foreign trade but many have kept some form of restrictions on the capital account. Without exception, all have experienced major restructuring which has increased the share of services and small firms. Finally, all have experienced some degree of privatization, and through implementing very different mechanisms (which probably include all the possibilities available), have gained varied privatization experience. Thus the same basic common experience of the first phase has generated many different paths.
