This book offers a detailed study of the macroeconomic and structural adjustment burden. It envisages a real currency appreciation stemming from price convergence, capital inflows and weak structural change. The widespread belief that an Eastern enlargement of the Union would be overwhelmingly to the detriment of the present EU (budgetary costs, locational decisions, trade deficits) is rejected. The authors discuss the lack of competitiveness of Eastern countries and their need for structural adjustments (in the financial sector, in agriculture, and in manufacturing) in order for them to survive and thrive in their new economic environment.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eKLAUS FROHBERG Executive Director of the Institute of Agricultural Development in Central and Eastern Europe (IAMO), Halle\/Saale, Germany\r\nMONIKA HARTMANN Head of the Division of Agricultural Markets, Marketing and World Agricultural Trade at the Institute of Agricultural Development in Central And Eastern Europe (IAMO) in Halle\/Saale, Germany\r\nJENS HÖLSCHER DAAD Senior Research Fellow and Co-ordinator of Economic Research, Institute for German Studies of the University of Birmingham\r\nKAZIMIERZ LASKI Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Linz, Austria\r\nCLAUDIA LÖHNIG Research Associate at the Leipzig Graduate School of Management\r\nLUCJAN ORLOWSKI Professor of Economics and International Finance at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield\r\nWITOLD ORLOWSKI Deputy Director of the Research Institute of the Central Statistical Office in Warsaw\r\nLEON PODKAMINER Vienna Institute for Comparative Economic Studies (WIIW)\r\nJOHANNES STEPHAN Research Fellow at the Institute for Economic Research Halle (IWH)\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29 January 1999\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan UK\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780333735497\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e227\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55561037742220,"sku":"9780333735497","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780333735497.jpg?v=1788348320","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780333735497","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
