Chapter Chapter 5 in Does EU Membership Facilitate Convergence? The Experience of the EU's Eastern Enlargement - Volume I, 2021, pp 151-172 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter analyzes the sources of Poland’s unprecedented economic performance after 1989, when Poland became Europe’s and the world’s growth champion. I argue that this growth miracle was driven by five fundamental factors, including Poland’s accession to the European Union. All five factors were critically important, but without accession to the EU, Poland’s economic miracle would not have happened.
