Reviews for Institutional Barriers in the Transition to Market: Examining Performance and Divergence in Transition Economies (Studies in Economic Transition)
"This is an outstanding and path-breaking piece of work on the role of institutions and transition as a whole. It reads very much like Douglass North, but unlike North Hartwell provides empirical proofs through regression analysis." Anders Åslund, Senior Fellow, Peterson Institute for International Economics, Washington DC
