Oskar Kowalewski () and Krzysztof Rybinski

Working Papers from University of Pennsylvania, Wharton School, Weiss Center

Abstract: This article reviews the role of the state in the development of the transition economies in Central and Eastern Europe. Among those countries Poland is today perceived as the leader as it was the only EU economy that survived the crisis without recession. In this study we show that the role of the government played an important role. We document that the hidden role of the government might have helped Poland during the crisis to become a leader, it is likely to turn to be a disadvantage for the country in the future.
