Transition in Central and Eastern Europe has led to a U-shaped response of output, that is, a sharp decline in output followed by recovery. This U-shaped response, its causes and its implications, are the subject of this text. Blanchard analyses the basic mechanisms at work, and draws policy implications. TheEconomics of Post-Communist Transition is now available in paperback for the first time.Clarendon lectures in economics.Structural adjustment (Economic policy)Europe, EasternPrivatizationEurope, EasternEurope, EasternEconomic conditions1989-Structural adjustment (Economic policy)Privatization338.947Blanchard Olivier(Olivier J.)133011MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910965091803321Economics of post - communist transition508946UNINA
