Several years later, the difficult process of privatization and restructuring continues to concern the countries of the region. The Transition in Eastern Europe, Volumes 1 and 2 is an analysis of the experiences of various countries making the transition to market economies and examines the most important challenges still in store. Volume 1, Country Studies, gives an in-depth, country-by-country analysis of various reform experiences, including historical backgrounds and discussions of policies and results to date. The countries analyzed are Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, eastern Germany, Slovenia, and Russia. Written by leading economists, some of whom helped shape local and national reforms, this volume identifies common progress, common difficulties, and tentative solutions to the problems of economic transition. Volume 2, Restructuring, focuses on specific issues of transition, including how to design labor market institutions, privatization, new fiscal structures, and bankruptcy laws; how to reorganize foreign trade; and how to promote foreign direct investment. The articles, written by experts in the field, will be of direct help to those involved in the transition process. These volumes provide a standard reference on economic transition in the region for policymakers in Eastern Europe and in western countries, for international agencies concerned with the transition process, and for anyone interested in learning about the dramatic changes that have recently occurred in Eastern Europe. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research project report. 606 $aEconomic stabilization$zEurope, Eastern$vCongresses 606 $aPrivatization$zEurope, Eastern$vCongresses 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xEconomic conditions$y1989-$vCongresses 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xEconomic policy$y1989-$vCongresses 610 $aeastern europe, communism, market economy, capitalism, restructuring, privatization, reform, economics, politics, government, russia, slovenia, germany, hungary, czechoslovakia, poland, transition, foreign direct investment, trade, bankruptcy laws, fiscal structures, labor, pension, chile, treuhandanstalt, nonfiction, free markets. 615 0$aEconomic stabilization 615 0$aPrivatization 676 $a330.947 676 $a338.947 676 $a338.947 701 $aBlanchard$b Olivier$g(Olivier J.)$0133011 701 $aFroot$b Kenneth$0133079 701 $aSachs$b Jeffrey$0120952 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784742603321 996 $aThe transition in Eastern Europe$93720133 997 $aUNINA
