"The major economic policy issues related to the EU's eastern enlargement are analyzed in this collection. Issues range from macroeconomic policy change challenges during the transition to EU membership and experiences with financial sector reform in the light of EU accession, to the modeling of the economic effects of EU accession on EU incumbents and on candidate countries. The volume also draws on previous accession experiences and analyzes the major issue of disparities between the first- and second-tier candidate countries and the countries left out of the accession process altogether."--Publisher description.
