Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper deals with the privatization, restructuring, and liquidation of East German industrial firms. A partnership model is suggested for privatization where the Government’s property trust (Treuhandanstait (THA)) is made a silent partner of the private investors. The application of a general scheme of wage subsidies is rejected in the paper. Furthermore, the paper argues against restructuring policies of the Government’s property trust and proposes to set decreasing limits on the trust’s finances for the years following 1993. The decreasing financial inflow will force the Government’s trust to close firms, and will also signal the commitment of the Government to liquidate the trust itself by, say, the year 2000.
Download or read book Privatization in Eastern Europe written by Roman Frydman and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Eastern Europe privatization is now a mass phenomenon. The authors propose a model of it by means of an illustration from the example of Poland, which envisages the free provision of shares in formerly public undertakings to employees and consumers, and the provision of corporate finance from foreign intermediaries. One danger that emerges is that of bureaucratization. On the broader canvas, mass privatization implies the reform of the whole system, the creation of a suitable economic infrastructure for a market economy and the institutions of corporate governance. The authors point out the need for a delicate balance between evolution - which may be too slow - and design - which brings the risk of more government involvement than it is able to manage. A chapter originating as a European Bank working paper explores the banking implications of setting up a totally new financial sector with interlocking classes of assets. The economic effects merge into politics as the role of the state is investigated. Teachers and graduate students of public/private sector economies, East European affairs; advisers to bankers or commercial companies with Eastern European interests.

Download or read book The Transition in Eastern Europe Volume 2 written by Olivier Jean Blanchard and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When communism fell in 1989, the question for most Eastern European countries was not whether to go to a market economy, but how to get there. 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.

Download or read book Privatization in Eastern Europe written by Iván Major and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 1993 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The task of turning the state-owned assets of the Eastern European countries over to private ownership is one of the most challenging of our time, both intellectually and in practical terms. Ivan Major's in-depth critique of the plans and programmes of the East European governments addresses the core issues of privatization from the perspective of both potential winners and losers. After discussing the analytical framework, he offers an assessment of the legacy of the command economy and includes individual country studies of Czechoslovakia, the former GDR, Hungary, Poland and the former Soviet Union. The following chapters look at the theoretical, political and economic underpinning as well as assessments of the initial results of East European privatizations. Dr Major argues that the whole network of political regulation must be dismantled if an efficient market economy is to emerge. Privatization in Eastern Europe offers a critical analysis of the movement towards privatization in Eastern Europe as well as an authoritative assessment of the existing literature. This book will be welcomed by scholars and policymakers as an important source of analysis, argument and information.
Download or read book The Privatization Process in East Central Europe written by Michal Mejstrík and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is beyond any doubt that East-Central European countries such as Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia has dramatically changed its shape through its radical transition from centrally planned to the market economies in last 7 years. Many economists divide the process of economic transformation into areas of Stabilization, Liberalization, and Privatization/Restructuring. The traditional view is that stabilization and liberalization can be achieved rather quickly-by balancing budgets, balance of payments, tightening money supply, freeing prices and liberalizing trade-but that the area of privatization is one that could be moved to the future and will require much more time. Until 1991, none of the post-communist nations except former East Germany (which had a large decree of support from West Germany) had succeeded in privatizing large numbers of enterprises, even though more than two years had passed since the changes in government in these nations. The privatization has been, however, seen as an extremely important part of reform package together with stabilization and liberalization especially in the Czech Republic from the very beginning. The Czechs originally as a part of the Czechoslovak Federal Republic embarked on an unprecedented path that should have lead not only to stabilization and liberalization, but also to very rapid, mass privatization of its sector of large enterprises that have dominated its economy to an extreme extent.

Book excerpt: The euphoria of the political revolutions of 1989 has been replaced by a sober reality: building viable economic systems, and transforming state enterprises into privately owned businesses in Eastern Europe is exceedingly complicated, difficult, and costly. German reunification and its burgeoning markets may serve as a locomotive for Eastern European growth. But what, if anything, can Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Hungary learn from the German experience? The former East Germany's ability to draw on West German technological, financial, economic, and human resources severely distorts the lessons other Eastern European countries might draw from reunification. How, then, can Eastern Europe best pursue its reform goals? Precisely what tangible reforms should these fledgling market economies undergo? Is privatization the panacea it is claimed to be? It produces winners and losers, and raises the specter of foreign domination of key industries. How should the competing issues of speed vs. equity that are endemic in the privatization process be resolved? In this volume, a collection of Eastern government officials, Western businessmen, and scholars from East and West address these questions in straightforward practical terms. Specifically, they recommend the gradual privatization, through auction, of existing state-owned assets; the adaptation of antitrust laws modeled after existing Western principles; the establishment of a new Eastern European development agency in the U.S. government; testing of a vouchers system; the enactment of securities laws overseen by government regulatory agencies; and the immediate abolition of governmental and legal barriers to establishing new business and joint ventures. The work offers precise, instructive guidelines as to how these and other reforms should be enacted and will be of interest to anyone involved or interested in the privatization of Eastern Europe and the opportunities and risks it presents for Western business.
