IIASA Press Briefing

Output Decline in Eastern Europe

on Thursday, 6 April 1995, 10:00 a.m
Press Club Concordia, Bankgasse 8, A-1010 Vienna


The most recent recovery of output in some countries of Eastern Europe poses the question whether this early growth is strong or fragile. Are the factors which have depressed production of short-term nature or more permanent? These questions are all the more relevant since the GDP in most successor republics of the former Soviet Union continued shrinking by an alarming 15-30 percent in 1994. The speakers are contributors to a recently published IIASA book on Output Decline in Eastern Europe - Unavoidable, External Influence or Homemade? (Holzmann, R., Gacs, J., Winckler, G., eds., Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1995), which will be presented at the Press Briefing.
