摘要:During the 1990s over two dozen countries in Europe and Asia underwent a transition from centrally planned to more market-orientated economies. This text reviews their diverse experiences and assesses the outcome of transition in each case. It includes an extensive review of empirical evidence and aims to cover all the transition economies in a comparative fashion rather than focusing on any particular country. It discusses the evolving thinking surrounding transition as shaped by experiences, tracing out the shifting emphasis from macro to micro issues and increased concerns about governance.
