Comment on Chapter 8

Hans Weisfeld

A chapter in Welfare States in Transition, 1999, pp 185-188 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Let me start with a brief summary of Miron Tegze’s chapter. First, the author reviews the income distributions in some central and eastern European countries before the beginning of the transition. Not surprisingly, income distributions in these countries were rather flat. Given that market economies show a greater income inequality, Tegze expects to see an increase in inequality during the transition. Whereas this result may be expected with some certainty, Tegze points out that the dynamics are less predictable.
