Institutional Barriers in the Transition to Market

Examining Performance and Divergence in Transition Economies

Beschreibung

Examines the institutional developments in 28 transition economies over the past two decades and concludes that, contrary to popular belief, institutions were not neglected; while personalities mattered as much as policies for outcomes, getting the basic institutions right was the most important aspect of a successful transition.

Rezensionen

"This is an outstanding and path-breaking piece of work on the role of institutions and transition as a whole. It reads very much like Douglass North, but unlike North Hartwell provides empirical proofs through regression analysis."
