Abstract
Most empirical work dealing with socialist economies appears to be oriented towards macroeconomic problems or at least to the study of highly aggregated time series. Examples are provided by Howard (1976), Lacko (1975), Podkaminer (1982), Portes and Winter (1980), Portes et al. (1983,1984a, b, 1985), Welfe (1983), and Charemza and Gronicki (1988). Only relatively infrequently has a particular market been the target of detailed empirical investigation; a case in point is the study of the Hungarian car market by Kapitany, Kornai and Szabo (1984 and Chapter 15 of this volume).
