The latter created a massive relative price shock whose affects on the structure of the industrial sectors of these economies is shown to have been relatively small, at least one to two years after the reforms. An implication is that one argument in favor of more gradualist reform—based on the premise that more gradualism implies a smaller output cost in the short run—is questionable. By and large in these economies, the output cost associated with the removal of relative price distortions may still have to be faced. 588 Description based on print version record. 650 7 Business Fluctuations |2imf 650 7 Comparative Studies of Particular Economies |2imf 650 7 Cycles |2imf 650 7 Deflation |2imf 650 7 Economic sectors |2imf 650 7 Energy prices |2imf 650 7 Energy: Demand and Supply |2imf 650 7 Fiscal policy |2imf 650 7 General Aggregative Models: General |2imf 650 7 Industrial Organization: General |2imf 650 7 Industrial sector |2imf 650 7 Industries |2imf 650 7 Industries: General |2imf 650 7 Inflation |2imf 650 7 Macroeconomic risks |2imf 650 7 Macroeconomics |2imf 650 7 Macroeconomics: Production |2imf 650 7 National accounts |2imf 650 7 National income |2imf 650 7 Price Level |2imf 650 7 Prices |2imf 650 7 Public Administration |2imf 650 7 Public finance & taxation |2imf 650 7 Public Finance |2imf 650 7 Public financial management (PFM) |2imf 650 7 Public Sector Accounting and Audits |2imf 650 7 Studies of Particular Policy Episodes |2imf 651 7 Hungary |2imf 776 |z1-4519-5550-2 776 |z1-4552-5746-X 700 1 Ostry, Jonathan. 830 0 IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ; |vNo. 1994/080 906 BOOK
