Uzbekistan: Welfare Impact of Slow Transition

No wp-1997-135, WIDER Working Paper Series from World Institute for Development Economic Research (UNU-WIDER)

Abstract: Uzbekistan is typically seen as one of the slowest reformers among the countries in transition from central planning to a market-oriented economy. This paper evaluates the welfare impact of gradual transition in Uzbekistan, asking whether it has avoided the short-term disruption associated with more rapid transition while remaining on course for long-term economic success. By the usual output criteria Uzbekistan has performed well relative to other former Soviet republics.
