SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The essays in this volume derive from a conference held at the American Institute for Contemporary German Studies in Washington, D.C., on May 15-16, 1995, and present general equilibrium calculations of the worldwide effects of trade liberalization between CEECs and the European Union (EU) on real wages and welfare; analysis of trade in "sensitive" sectors; and measurement of Germany's role in the transition. Simulations analyze the effects of CEEC macroeconomic policies on the transition process. Other essays examine the effects of privatization, labor migration from the East, and alternative approaches to integration of CEECs into the EU, including quick entry, variable geometry, and free-trade area. Economists and policymakers will value the collection's innovative quantitative assessments and presentation of distinct alternatives.
