After completing this subject, students will have gained a better understanding of the problems and the solutions which countries like Hungary, Russia, the Balkan states, and China (had to) face after the beginning of economic and political transition in 1989. Students will also see how the principles of institutional economics can been applied to these processes, and they will be able to critically evaluate situations similar to those of these transition countries. Case studies will enable the students to actively participate in developing solutions to a given problem, thereby helping them to practice problem-solving skills. The course takes place in a stimulating and multinational atmosphere, with maximum interaction between staff and students in an international setting, this summer in Trento, Italy.
A new European module has been developed within the framework of a SOCRATES-project by the Department of Comparative Economics of the Budapest University of Economic Sciences and Public Administration (Hungary), in close cooperation with Erasmus University Rotterdam (Holland) and the University of Trento (Italy). Its target audience are students having completed at least two years of Economics education, either in Economics or Business, and with an interest in systemic transition in what used to be centrally planned economies. The module consists of three one-week blocks:
| Block I: | Introduction to Institutional Analysis of Economic Organization |
| Block II: | Transitional Economics |
| Block III: | Application of Blocks I and II: country case studies |
Course I aims at providing conceptual building blocks for the analysis of transitional issues by deepening the students' knowledge of economic organization in and institutional setting.
Course II covers transitional economic issues within the framework and approaches of evolutionary and institutional analysis.
Course III applies the analytical backgrounds provided in courses I and II to country-specific problems of transitional economies, such as Hungary, Russia, the Balkans, and China.
