| Résumé : |
The transition to capitalism in former socialist economies is one of the main economic events of the last decade. Besides affecting approximatively 1.65 billion people, it is contributing to a shift in emphasis in economics from standard price and monetary theory to contracting and its institutional environment. Economic research in transition shows not only that institutions matter but also how their evolution toward higher efficiency depends on initials conditions and on sustained political support.
Unlike early policy literature on transition economics, which focused on the so-called Washington consensus, this book provides an overview on current research, analysing issues raised by transition for which economic theorists and policy makers had no ready answers. It shows how research on transition contributes to our understanding of capitalism as an economic system and the dynamics of large-scale institutional change. The book is divided in three parts. The first part looks at how large-scale reforms are decided dynamically through the political process. The second part looks at the general equilibrium and macroeconomic effects of liberalization in economies without pre-existing market. The third part looks at the economic behaviour of firms in the transition from state to private ownership and compare the effects of privatization, restructuring, and financial reform. Although focused on transition economics, the discussions are relevant to topics in political economics, development, public economics, corporate finance, and micro and macroeconomics. |
