2004
Rozelle, Scott | Swinnen, Johan F.M.
The paper analyzes the linkages between the reform strategies in transition countries andeconomic performance. We focus on agriculture because of the sharpness of the policychanges, fundamental differences among countries, and relative simplicity of agriculturalrelationships. We document post reform performance in the transition countries of Asia andEurope. We show how: a.) pricing reform and subsidy reductions; b.) land rights reformand policies that affect farm restructuring; and c.) the presence institutions that facilitateexchange (either markets or market substitutes) affect output and productivity. The paperends with general lessons on reforms and transition.
