Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enhance your understanding of the economic impact of rapid political changes in Eastern Europe with the valuable insights in this provocative book. Wealth Creation in Eastern Europe examines the difficulties faced by Eastern European nations converting from economic systems based on public ownership and non-market mechanisms for allocating goods and capital, to systems based on private ownership and reliance on market prices for allocating resources. Authoritative contributors bring to light a variety of perspectives to financial management in this rapidly changing environment. Important topics covered by this useful book include a macroeconomic view of the problems created by German unification, difficulties caused by applying standard valuation models and techniques to Eastern European enterprises, and the reaction of Western financial markets when companies announce joint venture investments in Eastern Europe. Readers will find valuable insights into critical financial concerns in Eastern European countries on such subjects such as the difficulty of ascertaining the value of state enterprises and determining whether their continued existence makes economic sense the problems created by the absence of clear titles to property and business for reorganizing economic activity under private ownership the need for a legal system that recognizes rights by ownership and enforces contract law the difficulties caused by the virtually complete absence of accounting-based information and information systems needed to evaluate organizations’economic efficiency problems encountered when conferring social legitimacy on a capitalist private enterprise system after decades of indoctrination about the evils of capitalism

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.

Download or read book The Market Shock written by Agenda-Group and published by Austrian Academy of Sciences Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collaborative work of a group of distinguished European and American scholars, The Market Shock puts forward a new constructive and more humane approach to reconstructing the formerly communist economies. The reconstruction of the Central and Eastern European economies seems to resemble the 1920s more than the 1950s: inflation continues, output and employment fall and with them the living conditions of the common people. Is this decline necessary for the construction of the market economy which will bring wealth and well-being? This book argues that not only is the decline not necessary, it even may prevent the creation of a market-based economy. Current programs based on the abolition of controls and subsidies, tight management of the money supply, and the privatization of state property all work to reduce output and employment and living standards. But these programs lack positive measures to create the market relationships that would generate new production prospects. So far the policies have been ones of uncreative destruction. It is argued that an emergency program must first stabilize conditions so that people can believe in a better future. Then rather than wholesale privatization, incentive schemes must be used to make management responsible for meeting financial constraints. The other crucial component is the active creation of conditions in which new wealth will begin to be created: the context in which agents take decisions must be changed; economic and financial institutions are needed which encourage individuals to become market-makers; and the developed economies must produce the appropriate international context.
Download or read book Political Players written by Tomasz Kamiński (politologia) and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) are state-owned investment funds composed of financial assets such as stocks, bonds, property, precious metals or other financial instruments. SWFs invest globally and most of them are funded by foreign exchange assets. They may have their origin in commodities (created through commodity exports, either taxed or owned by the government) or assets transferred from official foreign exchange reserves. SWFs have been present in the financial world since 1953, when the first of them, the Kuwait Investment Board, was set up. Nevertheless their rapid development and growth of prominence is a rather new phenomena. Their growing position in the world, in terms of asset value as well as number of funds, has been observed in the world since 2005. --
Download or read book Rural Wealth Creation written by John L. Pender and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the role of wealth in achieving sustainable rural economic development. The authors define wealth as all assets net of liabilities that can contribute to well-being, and they provide examples of many forms of capital – physical, financial, human, natural, social, and others. They propose a conceptual framework for rural wealth creation that considers how multiple forms of wealth provide opportunities for rural development, and how development strategies affect the dynamics of wealth. They also provide a new accounting framework for measuring wealth stocks and flows. These conceptual frameworks are employed in case study chapters on measuring rural wealth and on rural wealth creation strategies. Rural Wealth Creation makes numerous contributions to research on sustainable rural development. Important distinctions are drawn to help guide wealth measurement, such as the difference between the wealth located within a region and the wealth owned by residents of a region, and privately owned versus publicly owned wealth. Case study chapters illustrate these distinctions and demonstrate how different forms of wealth can be measured. Several key hypotheses are proposed about the process of rural wealth creation, and these are investigated by case study chapters assessing common rural development strategies, such as promoting rural energy industries and amenity-based development. Based on these case studies, a typology of rural wealth creation strategies is proposed and an approach to mapping the potential of such strategies in different contexts is demonstrated. This book will be relevant to students, researchers, and policy makers looking at rural community development, sustainable economic development, and wealth measurement.

Download or read book The Transition in Eastern Europe Volume 1 written by Olivier Jean Blanchard and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 288 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.
