In less developed countries (LDCs) there is considerable concern
that the developments in the Central and Eastern European Countries
(CEECs) may lead to a more inward looking European Union (EU). As
EU trade, foreign investment and aid flows are diverted from LDCs
towards the CEECs, close neighbours of the EU, a new dimension
would be added to 'fortress Europe'. This volume consists of 11
chapters by scholars from the EU, the CEECs and LDCs. Each paper is
discussed in terms of its policy relevance by a policy maker as
well as by an academic specializing in the field. In the opening
chapter we aim to do justice to the discussion during the Workshop
in Rotterdam in May 1994 at which preliminary versions of all
chapters were presented. Edited versions of the interventions by
the policy makers and experts are included as far as possible after
the chapters. A summary of the discussion is presented in the
concluding remarks by Rolf Langhammer. The opinions expressed in
this volume are those of the authors and not necessarily of their
organizations. The editors XXI Foreword I am glad the first meeting
of this network is on the developing country dimension of
pan-European integration, for two reasons. Firstly, politi cal and
economic liberalization in Central and Eastern Europe makes it
possible, even necessary, to discuss such an issue.
Determinants of economic growth: An overview Thijs de Ruyter van
Steveninck, Nico van der Windt, and Maaike Oosterbaan Netherlands
Economic Institute What causes economic growth? Why have some
countries grown much faster than others? Why do some countries not
grow at all, or even experience negative (per capita) growth rates?
What can governments do to raise the growth rates of their country?
These questions were discussed at a conference on March 23 and 24,
1998, organized by the Netherlands Economic Institute (NEI) on
behalf of the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This book
contains the proceedings of the conference. Economic growth is
widely considered as a necessary (though not sufficient) condition
for poverty alleviation. During the past two decades, scholars and
researchers have found a renewed interest in thinking about
economic growth, and advances in the understanding of economic
growth have taken place. On the one hand, the theoretical
understanding of growth has progressed on various fronts, including
endogenous technological innovation and increasing returns to
scale; the interaction of population, fertility, human capital, and
growth; international spill-overs in technology and capital
accumulation; and the role of institutions. On the other hand, the
increasing availability and use of data sets has given a large
incentive to empirical research on cross-country growth, following
the path-breaking work ofBarro (1991).
