In March 1998 the European Union formally launched the accession
process that will lead to a significant enlargement of the Union.
So far ten countries from Central Europe: Bulgaria, the Czech
Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, the
Slovak Republic and Slovenia have submitted their applications for
EU membership. This unique process immediately attracted attention
of economists and policy makers. Nevertheless, it can be noticed
that among numerous results already published, there is a
distinctive shortage of books and papers in which quantitative
research methods are applied. This is to a large extent justified
by the fact that the transition and accession processes are new to
the economic sciences, their methodology is not wellresearched,
statistical data for the Central and East European countries are
scarce and not always reliable and, generally, quantitative
approach seems to be a risky and uncertain business. All these all
problems can also be seen as a challenge rather than an obstacle.
With this on mind, we have decided to clarify the status quo by
organising a research seminar which focused on the methodology and
quantitative analysis of the Central and East European transition
and pre-accession processes. The seminar, East European Transition
and EU Enlargement: a Quantitative Approach organised by
Macroeconomic and Financial Data Centre (University of Gdansk and
University ofLeicester) took place in Gdansk in June 2001. Our
edited volume contains papers developed from this seminar.
