| Title | How the Transition Affected Regional Disparities - The Case of Hungary |
| Summary | Based on a linked employer-employee dataset on Hungarian workers, this paper examines the evolution of spatial distribution of economic activities in the country during the transition from socialism to capitalism. Besides conirming previous …ndings such as increasing concentration of the overall economy in space and a shift in economic activities from the Eastern to the Western part (as well as to the capital) of the country, I find (1) a large amount of heterogeneity in changes in the distribution of different industries and (2) differentials across regions and industries which were more open or less open to trade before the transition, with the latter mentioned e¤ect being also different between Eastern and Western Hungary as well as across urban and rural regions. The results of the thesis might provide motivation for further studies in the topic. |
