ZAKASNELA EKONOMSKA TRANZICIJA I KONKURENTNOST PRIVREDE SRBIJE
Dosadašnji nepovoljni tokovi i rezultati ekonomske tranzicije u Srbiji osnovni su razlog nezadovoljavajućeg stanja u privredi i njene konkurentnosti. U radu se analiziraju kako ključni problemi ekonomske tranzicije, tako i dostignuti nivo konkurentnosti privrede Srbije i formulišu preporuke za buduću ekonomsku politiku. Posebno se insistira na institucionalnim reformama i na potrebi implementacije politika koje podstiču konkurenciju.
