International conference "Post-Communist Economic Growth" Moscow, March 20-21, 2002
Annotation
A decade ago, communism foundered throughout the former Soviet bloc. From Prague to Vladivostok, 21 countries of the former Soviet Union and in Eastern Europe abandoned similar political and economic systems. Their simultaneous transformations to new systems offers a unique opportunity to compare their outcomes quantitatively and thereby establish which reforms are most important and which prescriptions are not very helpful or even counterproductive.
