Economic Prospects of the CIS: Sources of Long Term Growth

Bound by a common analytic framework, these ten country studies are the result of a comparative, collaborative research project on "Understanding Growth" organized by the Global Development Network. The papers explore the transition and growth experiences of former Soviet countries and assess foundations for long-term growth. Editors Ofer (emeritus, economics, Hebrew U., Israel) and Pomfret (economics, U. of Adelaide, Australia) also provide an introductory essay of background information and a summary of conclusions.
