O57-2 TRANSITION ECONOMIES: SOME MACROECONOMIC ISSUES
The aim of this session is to discuss some questions related to the convergence and integration of transition countries. The contributions will study several macroeconomic issues that seem to play a key role in the success of an integration process, in particular. the evolution of exchange rate regimes, the constraint that the balance of payments can mean on growth, convergence in the new member states of the EU, and the impact of multinationals firms on host economies.
