Abstract
This introductory chapter to Part II of the book presents a comparative overview of economic development, and the changing conditions for and results of FDI as a mechanism of productivity growth in Estonia, Hungary, Poland, the Slovakia-Republic, Slovenia. By summarising briefly the main similarities and differences between these countries (with a particular focus on Hungary), we try to determine whether differences by countries depend on their different stages in FDI attractiveness, labour productivity,1 economic development levels and restructuring by technology intensity.
