Chur: Harwood academic publishers, 1988. — 96 p. — ISBN 3-7186-4813-X — (Fundamentals of pure and applied economics)This volume discusses the microeconomics and macroeconomics of foreign trade in centrally planned economies (CPEs). It analyzes the main institutional and policy determinants of the foreign trade behavior of a CPE and studies factors that affect the level and pattern of foreign trade, the role of the exchange rate, and the differences between a CPE’s trade with market economies and with other CPEs. It goes on to examine the role of foreign trade in the macroeconomy and in macroeconomic stabilization of the CPE. Concluding with an analysis of the impact of economic reform on foreign trade decision-making and external adjustment of planned economies, this book provides graduate students and teachers, researchers and professionals with a timely review of the state of the art of CPEs.Introduction to the SeriesInstitutional and Policy ContextInstitutional Determinants of Foreign Trade Behavior
