The Economics of German Unification

by A. Ghanie Ghaussy (Editor), Wolf Schäfer (Editor)

Overview

German unification is proving much more difficult than was originally envisaged. The integration of two national economies with different economic orders, different sectoral structures and divergent levels of development seems set to take a long time. This timely examination of the major issues involved emphasises the impact of unification on different sectors of the economy and their likely consequences.
