Outline of the Institute

1. Outline of the Institute 1.1. Objectives The Institute for World Economics (IWE), as part of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, carries out research and formulates policy recommendations on an objective, non-partisan basis, since its establishment in 1973 on the institutional background of the former Afro-Asian Research Centre founded in 1965, three years before the first wave of economic reform in Hungary. The Institute has become one of the major policy-oriented international research institutes and economic policy think tanks in Central Europe. Its main task is to study the underlying trends and factors behind global and regional economic developments and their present and future impact on the Hungarian economy. In addition, it sets out to contribute to international research through cooperation with top research institutes throughout the world. Because of its location, history and human and material resources, the IWE is particularly well placed to be a leading centre for research on the integration of Central and Eastern Europe into the global market economy. The change of political system in Hungary, the transition to a market economy as well as the coming enlargement of the European Union and new global challenges have greatly enhanced the importance of world economic research and altered the emphasis of it. The IWE sets out to give strategic support during this historic change of course: ∗ by drawing on the Institute's long experience and extensive and effective system of international connections to build up a reformulated programme of research, and ∗ by using the techniques of comparative economic analysis and interdisciplinary investigations. The Institute's research philosophy is based on the conviction that the transition to a market economy and the accession to the European Union are not an end in themselves but a means of shifting the Hungarian economy from the periphery towards the mainstream of global economic development. Central to this is the need to modernize, in view of Hungary's modest level of economic development by comparison with Western Europe. International comparisons of the path taken to modernization and the blind alleys to be avoided are being made, in order to identify the key areas in which the Hungarian economy has to catch up and the requirements and means for doing so. Moreover the transition to a market economy is taking place in an international, and particularly a European economic environment of unprecedented upheavals and a system of relations in the process of restructuring. Whereas, on the global scale, some of the other attempts to modernize in the more recent past took place within a stable, predictable system of international relations, the forecast in Hungary's case is that the international economic environment will be uncertain, or at least multidimensional. This country has to build up a system of economic relations that takes account of its comparative advantages against a background of a moving Europe itself undergoing adjustment. The criteria for choosing the IWE's research areas have been the medium-term demands of decisive importance in terms of the processes taking place in the world economy and the adjustment that Hungary must take, coupled with the comparative advantages offered by the

6


Institute itself. This is a pioneer undertaking for the future: instead of resting on short-term, ad hoc requirements, it is built on a long-term strategic demand that must be created in part by the Institute itself with the demand-oriented nature of its researches. This we see as the way to ensure that the IWE is a professionally respected, authoritative, influential, opinion-shaping institute. These objectives can be served by the Institute's present research staff as a whole. After the appreciable staff losses of the early nineties, the internationally reputed, competitive and highly experienced research team has been replenished with ambitious and productive young researchers. The funds, however limited, granted by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences guarantee the political independence, so providing one of the fundamental external conditions for scientific activity of a high standard. * In 2003, basic conditions for substantive research at IWE were able to rely on a consolidated financial background due in part to increasing cooperation with different government institutions. * IWE, in cooperation with other research institutes (largely belonging to the Academy of Sciences), undertook a coordinative function in developing a medium-term strategy of research priorities on European integration. * Cooperation with leading international and Western European economic institutions was further strengthened. * Demand for IWE's research output by leading Hungarian banks, companies and multinational firms located in Hungary grew substantially. * A special system of fellowships managed by the Academy of Sciences provided an opportunity to employ some young researchers and cover selected basic areas of research. * Interdisciplinary research network has strengthened as the Social Sciences Research Centre came into being in the framework of the consolidation programme of the Academy of Sciences. In the Centre IWE and several other legally and financially independent institutes cooperate concerning political, social, legal, and economic issues.

1.2. Structure The IWE had a research staff of 30 at the end of 2003, and an auxiliary, service staff of 16. As of January 1996, the executive structure was changed. Based on the experience of previous years and the accomplishment of the substantially enhanced research tasks recently, IWE has eliminated the traditional structure based on research centres. In fact, organization of the research activities has never been carried out in a rigid system. In contrast to many institutes, IWE has always stressed the importance of ‘cross-working’, and provided opportunity for its staff to become acquainted with research activities of other centres within the institute. To a substantial extent, growing domestic and international competitiveness of the research staff can be explained by this flexibility. From the beginning of 1996, IWE's internal structure is based on teams organized for special topics and purposes. As a result a ‘research network’ was created, in which practically each staff member is both the director of one or more research teams and member of other teams, simultaneously. This approach is expected to make research even more efficient, to use available capacities better and deal with priority tasks from different angles. A Research Council created in 1996 and consisting of 11 staff members, including talented young researchers directs and supervises research activities. In selected areas of ensuring the infrastructure of efficient research, three commissions, each of which consists of three staff members, have been acting (acquisition of books, journals and documents, computerisation, publishing activities). Since early summer 1999 a managing director has also been acting who is responsible for internal and external contacts, communications and public relations.

In order to appropriately cope with growing research commitments, to ensure the education and training of young researchers and to use financial resources more efficiently, a special ‘external research work’ has been extended, as part of the long-term and deliberate strategy of IWE.

1.3. Financing The tasks laid down in its deed of foundation and the new demands made by the changes taking place in the world economic environment make it essential for the dominance of direct state funding in the Institute's finances to remain. This conclusion is also supported by the widespread international practice of financing institutions that conduct strategic research out of central funds as a way of ensuring a high standard of activity. While strategic research institutes are generally financed in 60 to 70% of their annual budget from central funds throughout the world, contrary tendencies prevailed in IWE's financial situation until 2002, as central funds were limited to basic salaries and their non-wage labour costs. In 2003, however, IWE's total income amounted to HUF 338 mn (about USD 1.6 mn), of which slightly less than 61 per cent of IWE's total income was provided by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Other major income sources included research grants provided by Hungarian funds (1 per cent), various domestic sources (17 per cent), participation in international cooperation (10 per cent) and an overhang from fiscal year 2001 (11 per cent). Total expenditure reached HUF 310 mn (about USD 1,5 mn), of which wages, income taxes and social security contributions accounted for almost 67 per cent. Additional major items of expenditure were other research supporting expenses (12 per cent) and communal services and maintenance (21 per cent). The stable and relatively favourable financial situation is the result of the high professional level of the Institute, the attractiveness and practical usefulness of its research results as well as the successful search for new resources. As a rare exception among other academic research institutes, IWE possesses a solid financial background for 2003, which enables it to carry out strategic policy-oriented research and cement longer-term development concepts during the coming years.

1.4. Research Priorities Research activities were characterised by 31 major projects during last year. Contrary to the ruling tendency of the 90s, there was a clear shift from shorter-term to longer-term research in the new decade, though it remained highly policy-oriented still. Six principal research projects were finished during the year (out of which only one had a duration of less than a year), and another ten projects were initiated in 2003. Similarly, eleven research projects started earlier and spread beyond 2003. Research is fundamentally carried out on two basic levels: regional (geographic) and functional. Almost all research projects combine these two approaches, while staff members have to specialise themselves on one regional and at least on one functional topic. Priority areas of research in recent years: (a) Global economic development and transformation ∗ interrelationship of knowledge, growth and globalization; science and technology as a growth factor in smaller economies; ∗ sustainable development amid a system of terms under intensive world-market impacts; ∗ fundamental medium-term changes in the world economy and their impact on Hungary;

(b) Economic developments in Europe, with special attention paid to the European Union and Eastern enlargement ∗ the development paths and modernization of selected European countries; ∗ relationship between community policies and different national policies; ∗ key integration processes in the European Union (common agricultural policy, economic and monetary union, experience of the Union's periphery with catching up, institutional reform, experience of ex-EFTA countries in the European Union, regional development, budgetary issues, developments in major EU member countries); ∗ the prospects for, conditions and costs of Eastern enlargement, and Hungary's preparation for full membership; ∗ main features of ‘developmental integration’ and Eastern enlargement; ∗ interdependence between European integration and subregional cooperation; ∗ the major features of Germany's European policy at the beginning of the 21st century. (c) Economic transformation in Central and Eastern Europe ∗ comparative analysis of the CEFTA countries; ∗ transformation and external trade relations, including the changing pattern of East-West division of labour; ∗ impact of foreign direct investment on the macro- and microeconomic performance of transforming countries; ∗ chances of regional cooperation; ∗ economic and political development in Southeast Europe; ∗ the accession of Hungarian agriculture and rural regions to the EU; ∗ Hungary's preparedness for EU accession in the field of infrastructure and services; ∗ Hungarian foreign trade structures in comparison with those of the EU; ∗ the structural transformation of Hungarian manufacturing industry. (d) New economic developments in the Asia-Pacific Region ∗ the lessons drawn from the Far Eastern economic development; ∗ Japan's decade-long stagnation or transformation rather than crisis; ∗ transformation patterns in China and Southeast Asia; ∗ the Chinese Diaspora and the chances of a ‘Chinese Common Market’; ∗ constant and changing elements in the Japanese model of development; ∗ prospects of Korean – Hungarian economic relations. (e) Other key research areas ∗ human development in Hungary; ∗ impact of socio-economic values on the pattern of development; ∗ possible scenarios of economic and social development in Latin America;

micro-level adjustment and cooperation; the role of infrastructure and services in the modernization process; the role of clusters in regional development policy; the measuring of the efficiency impacts of foreign direct investment; sectoral studies.

1.5. Library and Scientific Information Service The IWE's library is a specialised scientific library with national scope. It contains one of Hungary's most important and most up-to-date collections of books, periodicals and statistics on international economic affairs. Since 2000 the library constitutes part of the United Library for Social Sciences together with the libraries of the Institute for Political Sciences, the Institute for Sociology, and the Institute for Minority Research. Through consistent and constant expansion of the IWE's international relations, about 70% of the books and periodicals, including most of the foreign books, have been acquired on exchange base. This is already the case with some publications of the World Bank, the IMF, the OECD and the EU. In addition, almost three-quarters of the annual increase in value of the stock is accounted for publications that arrive under exchanges schemes or as gifts. This remarkably high proportion by national standards ties in with the Institute's own publishing activity. The task of the Scientific Information Service is to obtain the information required for research work, examine it comprehensively, store it, make it available, and distribute the Institute's publications through the conduct of international publication exchanges. The enlarged library’s stock contains more than 200,000 items (including 30,000 archives and 583 kinds of periodicals). Also, the establishment of a CD ROM databank was started and will be further developed in accordance with the financial possibilities of IWE. Last year the Institute was successful in creating the availability of publication distribution via e-mail among all its exchange partners who apply for it. (This may result in substantial savings of postage.) The library's cumulative catalogue can also be searched by the aid of Internet: www.etk.mtapti.hu On the WIIW's (Wiener Institut für Internationale Wirtschaftsvergleiche – The Vienna Institute for Comparative Economic Studies) request IWE has joined the WIIW's "Countdown" project and become its Hungarian coordinator. The project aims at collecting in a joint database the names of Central and East European experts working on the European Union, by indicating their activities and the particulars of published as well as unpublished works on the Union prepared in the Central and East European region, mainly in Hungary and available in the library of the Institute. For information about the library please contact our information service, telephone: (36-1) 224 6759.

1.6. Publication and Dissemination Policies In 2003, the publication policy of the IWE followed in the framework of substantial changes introduced in the early 90s. The new publication policy was justified by IWE's growing reputation at home and abroad, its scientific and economy-policy objectives, and not least its aim of influencing public opinion.

10


Last year the series Working Papers, Kihívások (Challenges), and Műhelytanulmányok (Workshop Studies) appeared with 9, 9 and 13 issues, respectively. The Working Papers series in English presents the best and internationally competitive products of research by IWE staff, primarily to the professional public abroad. Kihívások, in Hungarian, is designed to inform Hungarian economic policy-makers, members of Parliament, political parties and the broader professional public about current worldeconomic issues, their impact on Hungary and the economic policy measures proposed to be taken. Most of the articles provide clear, readable summaries of significant research work undertaken in the Institute. Műhelytanulmányok, also in Hungarian, presents comprehensive and in-depth analyses, mostly summary reports of major research projects carried out or coordinated by IWE staff members, for the professional community and students of economics in Hungary. In the autumn of 2000, a concise foreign-language series was started (Standpoints in English, Positions in French and Standpunkt in German) in order to disseminate the Institute's view on some economic questions of key importance in the global, European and regional context. Vélemények, Kommentárok, Információk (Opinions, Comments, Information) is an even more concise series launched late 200l in Hungarian, and meant for the professional public as well as a wider circle interested in domestic and global issues of the day. Thirty-six of these short notices appeared in 2003. Our Newsletter (Hírfutár), available only in Hungarian so far, is designed to inform the professional public about the ongoing activities at IWE. The Institute’s restructured, new homepage on the Internet offers the possibility of interactive communication in addition to the regularly updated information about IWE (www.vki.hu). The publication activities were complemented by occasional volumes reproducing the proceedings of high-level international conferences or comprehending the findings of major interntional projects run by the Institute. Last year four such independent books appeared. In 2003, staff members published 79 contributions in foreign languages, including two books and 49 papers contained in books. Eighteen contributions appeared in international journals. In order to disseminate IWE's research findings to a broad interested public as well, the Institute regularly organises ‘open conferences’ on relevant and topical global and European issues. Teaching represents an increasingly important activity of most staff members. Based on the basic research results and the fundamentally policy-oriented approach of IWE, we experience a rapidly growing need for dissemination on various levels. Staff members teach regularly in universities both in Hungary (Budapest and several universities in major towns) and abroad, while its director general is a visiting professor to the College of Europe, Bruges, Belgium and Natolin, Poland.

1.7. International Contacts The IWE's international relations have traditionally been very extensive, active and useful. In recent years, the institute has taken part in an average of ten to fifteen international research programmes a year, and organized about ten bilateral and international conferences annually. There is close cooperation with some 30 research institutes, scientific institutions and universities. Staff members travel abroad frequently, and the number of visiting foreign researchers almost reached 70 in 2003. In the same year, IWE was a member of five reputed international scientific bodies (the EADI, the ECSA, the IFIAS, the UNU, and the Centre for Our Common Future). Close collaboration has been built up with the most influential international


11

agencies (the IMF, the World Bank, OECD, WTO, Unctad, Unesco, UNDP, Unido, Uncitral, CIPE, ECE, etc.). Similarly to recent years, in 2003 we were coordinators of and participants in several international projects. IWE has built up a special relationship with the World Bank and the Bertelsmann Foundation in launching new projects, and assumes a leading coordinating role both in research and dissemination of the findings. In 2003, staff members delivered more than a hundred lectures in foreign languages in different parts of the world and at international seminars held in Hungary. Twelve international conferences were organized in the past year. In addition, IWE's international network includes longer-term stays of its researchers abroad, work contracts of its staff in leading foreign institutes and international institutions. The Institute's medium-term research concept envisages further significant development of its international relations with some alterations in their nature. The initiative hitherto was usually taken by the IWE, but the change of political and economic system has greatly increased the number of foreign research institutes and international organizations proposing cooperation to the IWE. In line with the main directions of Hungary's economic relations, IWE aims particularly to expand its relations with European countries, including the EU and CEFTA, the United States, Japan and the East and Southeast Asian area. The Institute has already become the centre in Central and Eastern Europe for studies of Japan and Southeast Asia, and a regular informal platform for Latin American ambassadors on Hungarian, European and Latin American issues. Extra attention is given to developing scientific ties with neighbouring countries, particularly through joint research projects, and by inviting economists from these countries in order to promote mutual understanding and the flow of information, while also reinforcing IWE's relations with leading international and Western institutions.

2. Principal Research Projects

2.1. Global Issues 2.1.1. Knowledge, Growth and Globalisation; Science and Technology Policy as a Growth Factor in Smaller Economies (KNOGG) Project director: Mihály Simai Duration:

2002–2004

Summary:

The KNOGG Thematic Network studies specific problems regarding science and technology policy in smaller European countries in the era of globalisation and regional integration. As a research project funded by the European Commission, it responds to the R&D Fifth Framework Programme's horizontal programme ‘Improving Human Potential and the Socioeconomic Knowledge’. The objective of the Network is to review experiences in successful small EU member states and candidate countries in regard to the role and potential of STI policies as driving forces of innovation and economic growth. Participants of KNOGG Thematic Network are comprised of leading national research and higher education institutes from small EU member countries (Finland, Ireland, Netherlands, Greece) and accession countries (Hungary and Slovenia). The Network’s coordinator (VATT) and principal contractors organise national workshops and international conferences. The Network in 2002 produced three main reports and a number of country studies as background documents. During the year we also prepared three studies on Hungary. In the first one the concept of small states had to be defined, particularly in the context of science and technology policy, where traditional measures may not provide the most relevant indicators of the relative size of the state. In the second paper the technological capabilities and the innovation policy of Hungary has been analysed. In the focus of the country study was its potential for innovation, its ability to supply national technological needs from domestic sources, and its role in the global market as a supplier or purchaser of new products and processes as well as its relative international competitive position. In the third study the role of transnational corporations in the Hungarian R&D sector has been examined. In 2003 we compiled a book at IWE on the results of the Network whose findings had thematically been published previously by VATT in five volumes.

2.1.3. The State of the World Economy, the New Tendencies of Globalization, and Hungary after the Turn of the Millennium Project director:

Péter Farkas

Participants:

Annamária Artner, Ágnes Bernek (ext.)

Duration:

2000–2004

Summary:

In 2002 in the framework of this project a research was completed on the interpretation of world-scale economic globalisation: history, dimensions, definition, hierarchical structures, differentiating and income redistributing mechanisms of world economy and its regional levels. A study was prepared on the regional structure of the world economy, based on the regional placing, investment and trade of transnational companies. One of the most important objectives of the research program is the analysis of the effects of globalisation on Hungary. For this reason a study was made on the effects of foreign investment (including mergers and acquisitions) on Hungary (on its foreign trade balance, company structure, employment, consumption). During the year 2003, we were surveying Hungarian literature of globalisation in the past 30 years. Studies were prepared on the movements of globalisation criticism, as well as on their trends and goals. We also analysed the recent tendencies and prospective trends of foreign direct investment (FDI theories, tendencies of international direct capital flows, including the role of East Europe and Hungary) and started to analyse the structure of international trade on goods and services in the global world, including the connection between FDI and trade. The latter work will be completed in the first quarter of 2004.

2.1.4. The World Economic Environment of Hungarian Agriculture in the First Decade of the 21st Century Project director: Judit Kiss Participants:

Miklós Somai, Zoltán Tiba

Duration:

2000–2004

Summary:

The main aims of the research are: to reveal and study the ongoing changes and main trends in world agriculture, in agricultural supply and demand, in world agricultural trade and its regulatios, and in the agricultural policy of Hungary’s main partners in the first decade of the 21st century; to draw conclusions from the analysed changes for the benefit of Hungarian agricultural policy, by determining its adjustment possibilities and the challenges it will have to face. The work concentrates on the following areas: * the expected changes of the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy; * the changes of the world agricultural system and world agricultural markets; * the performance of the Central and Eastern European countries’ agriculture with special regard to the CEFTA and the post-Soviet agriculture; * the agricultural policy of the USA and China; * the next WTO round and its implications for regulating world agricultural trade.

2.2. EU Issues 2.2.1. Challenges of the Political, Economic and Juridical Culture for Hungary in 2000– 2006, with Regard to the Succesful EU Integration and the Changes of the Internal Integration Rules in the European Union Project directors: András Inotai, Margit Rácz Participants:

Staff members of the Institute for World Economics, the Insitutute for Political Studies, the Institute of History and the Institute for Legal Studies

Duration:

2002–2004

Summary:

Under the leadership of the Institute for World Economics, this large-scale project is based on the cooperation among four academic institutes, representing the political, legal, historical and economic aspects of Hungary’s participation in the enlarging European Union. For the first time in the research activities on European integration in Hungary, such a multidisciplinary approach has been applied in order to identify not only the different impacts of and inputs into the European integration, but also to find multiplier factors which can contribute to designing the most appropriate integration strategy of Hungary for the first years of full membership. In 2002, the Institute for Political Studies Analyzed the socio-political development of four small and mainly less-developed EU member countries (Austria, Greece, Ireland, Portugal). The research focussed on the degree to which these countries were able or unable to make use of the new opportunities offered by membership. The level of efficient or inefficient approaches was explained on the basis of domestic political and social conditions. The Institute of History dealt with the politics of selected large Western European countries towards Central and Eastern Europe in the 20th century. Special attention was paid to the strategic or tactical changes in these politics, influenced by domestic or international developments. In 2002, two major studies were prepared, covering the United Kingdom and Germany. The Institute for Legal Studies concentrated on the possibilities of reforming the institutional structure and the decision-making process in the enlarging European Union. Particular emphasis was given to the future of reinforced cooperation and to the areas of qualified majority voting, both of strategic importance in order to formulate an appropriate Hungarian policy. The backbone of the project has been represented by altogether 13 studies prepared in the Institute for World Economics. They covered various aspects of Hungary’s agriculture facing membership, challenges and opportunities of small and medium-sized companies in the enlarging EU, the comparison of Hungary’s level of preparation and adjustment capacity with those of selected Central European countries (Czech Republic, Slovakia and Slovenia), as well as the future of Europe in the light of the Convention. Attention was called to several important policy measures, including (a) the


17

quick and efficient establishment of the necessary institutions in the agricultural sector, (b) support to be provided to small and medium-sized companies in order to avoid their flight into the grey zone of economic activities, and (c) the outstanding importance of keeping and strengthening the locational advantages in the enhanced competition for foreign direct investment among Central and Eastern European countries which are supposed to become full-fledged members of the EU as of May 1st, 2004.

2.2.2. The Impact of European Integration and Enlargement on Regional Structural Change and Cohesion Project director: András Inotai Participants:

Andrea Szalavetz, Tamás Szemlér, Anna Wisniewski

Duration:

2002–2005

Summary:

The overall scientific objective of the project is to identify and explain in a cross-country analysis the impact of European integration and enlargement on regional structural change and cohesion. In particular, the project will provide empirical evidence about the relationship between industrial location, regional specialisation and regional income per capita in the context of European integration and EU enlargement. On the basis of our empirical analysis we will predict the types of potential winning and losing regions in both the current EU member states and accession countries. The research results will help identify challenges and recommendations for the regional policy at the European, national and local levels.

Ferenc Bódi (ext.), Sándor Buzás, Kálmán Dezséri, Endre Ferency (ext.), Jenő Horváth (ext.), Judit Kiss, Tamás Novák, Miklós Somai, Miklós Szanyi, Tamás Szemlér

Duration:

2001–2004

Summary:

In 2003 we closed the second phase of a four-year interdisciplinary research programme. The researchers of the Institute for World Economics surveyed the economies of some big EU member states. Among these countries, the studies on Germany and France are remarkable not only because these two countries have central positions within the EU, but they have significant impact on the changes of the EU decision-making system as well as on the further functioning of EMU. Germany and France have come up against the other ten countries in EMU because these two countries have for a long time violated the Stability and Growth Pact and they have not had to pay any penalty since the Ecofin council exempted them from doing so. Last year greater emphasis was paid to the analysis of the tasks for the Hungarian economy. On this basis a study was written on the tasks of the income and expenditure sides of the Hungarian budget after EU accession. In a separate study the economic policy tasks of Hungarian agriculture before accession were analysed. A comprehensive study was also written on the key tasks of economic policy aiming at catching up prior to accession. Two papers were written by the Institute for Political Sciences of the HAS on some issues of public administration. One of the papers examined Hungarian country planning and regionalisation efforts while the other investigated the chances of subregional integration of Hungarian communities. In the Institute for Law of the HAS a long-range study was written on the recent reform of the EU decision-making system. This study attempts to draw up the directions of further reforms. In the Institute for History of the HAS a comprehensive study was written on Italy.

Duration:

2002–2003

Summary:

A series of studies were completed under the joint title ‘The Feasibility of Meeting EU Expectations by the Time of Hungary's Accession’. During the time span of the project five sectors had been examined: (1) transport – including all its branches (rail and road transport of passangers and goods, combined transport of goods, logistic centres, urban public transport, inland navigation, air transport), (2) water management, (3) postal services, (4) info-telecommunications, (5) energy.

Etelka Bécsy (ext.), Anna Wisniewski

Duration:

2002–2006

Summary:

In our work-group dealing with the Economic and Monetary Union, two studies have been prepared so far. One of them compared the Hungarian and Polish situations in the process of fulfilling the convergence criteria of the Maastricht treaty, while the other introduced and analyzed Hungarian fiscal policy.

2.2.7. The EU Maturity of Hungary and the Accomodating Capability of the Union Project director: Margit Rácz Participants:

Kálmán Dezséri, Balázs Ferkelt (ext.), Klára Fóti, Rolf H. Hasse (ext.), Katalin Nagy (ext.), Gert Nicolaysen (ext.), Wilhelm Nölling (ext.), Martin Seidel (ext.), Wolf Schäfer (ext.), Karl-Ernst Schenk (ext.), Tamás Szemlér

Duration:

2002–2003

Summary:

As a result of several years’ cooperation among the Institute for World Economics, the universities in Hamburg and Europa Kolleg, the discussed projects were published in a bilingual book by KJK-Kerszöv in 2003. In the book ‘EU-Kaleidoszkop’, Hungarian and German experts wrote about the internal reforms of the EU and the issues related to the EU accession of Hungary. One of the interesting features of the book is that the opinions of the German and Hungarian experts diverge in several respects. Thus, we emphasised at the time of writing this book that in this work-group everyone represents his or her own opinion. It could be very stimulating for the readers of this book to consider the kind of opinions the German university professors have on the deepening and widening of the EU.

Beáta Szatmáry, Anna Wisniewski

Duration:

1999–2003

Summary:

The countries of Central Europe have gone through a very eventful transition period. Economic transformation in the region followed different strategies in the various countries. The objective of the research is to identify whether the significant differences that have developed between the countries are of a lasting character to the region, or a convergence will take place again. The team also tries to outline economic, political and sociological aspects of the potential future.

2.3.2. The Role of the Carpathian Euroregion in the Catching Up of the Participating Counties and Regions with Special Regard to the Innovation Relations Project director: Zsuzsa Ludvig Participants:

András Jánki (ext.), István Süli-Zakar (ext.), Anna Wiesniewski

Duration:

2000–2003

Summary:

This project aimed at analysing the problems of the Carpathian Euroregion and the results already achieved. The following questions were raised: How has the Euroregion cooperation helped the participating counties and regions in their economic development and catching up? Has there any positive change been in the economic developmental position of the Euroregion member counties in Poland, the Ukraine, Slovakia, Romania or Hungary for the last 7 years, or, on the contrary, despite all the efforts within the Euroregion framework the peripheral position has remained steady? The short history, main activities and the structure of the Carpathian Euroregion were studied as well.

2.3.3. New Tendencies of Foreign Direct Investment and the Transfer of Technology in Hungary Project Director: Péter Farkas Participants:

Andrea Szalavetz and the authors of case studies

Duration:

2002–2003

Summary:

A study have been prepared on the international literature of FDI, with special regard to the effect on R&D in medium-developed countries. We have also summarised the views in Hungarian literature on the subject studied and have synthesized the results of the case studies that dealt with the following subjects: * experiences of foreign companies that resumed R&D activities; * new R&D bases of transnational companies in Hungary; * R&D orders of transnational companies for Hungarian research centres; * utilisation of final Hungarian intellectual products; * technological effects of new subcontracting contracts. According to the evidence presented in the concluding study of the project, the negative impact of FDI on R&D has come to a halt, however, we cannot diagnose a decisive positive change yet.

2000–2003

Participants:

András Bakács, István Kapronczai (ext.) Miklós Somai, Gábor Udovecz (ext.)

Summary:

The project assumed to reveal how can Hungarian agriculture be financed by internal and external sources, how can the pressing shortage of capital be diminished and how can the sector be modernised and made competitive. In order to answer the above questions, the research work concentrates on the following areas: * The profitability and the self-financing capacity of agriculture with due regard to the performance of agricultural producers’ and input prices, the opening of the so-called agricultural scissors. * The possibilities of bank financing with special attention to the terms, the conditions of agricultural credits and the system of financing via commercial banks. * The role of state subsidies with due regard to budget constraints, WTO obligations and limitations, EU conformity and the requirements to change the subsidy system in a WTO and EU conform manner. Special attention has been paid to agricultural export subsidies as trade in agricultural products still plays a significant role in the Hungarian foreign trade balance. * The role of foreign capital in Hungarian agriculture with special attention to the huge (5–40-fold) difference between the Hungarian and the EU land prices and their future harmonization. * The impact of EU funds in financing Hungarian agriculture: the role of pre-accession funds, namely that of SAPARD, and the impact of agricultural subsidies (market measures, direct payments, rural development) in the post-accession phase.

2.3.5. Internal and External Processes Affecting the Competitiveness of Hungarian Agriculture on the Eve of EU Accession Project director: Miklós Somai Duration:

2002–2003

Summary:

One of the most delicate issues of Hungary’s EU accession is agriculture. The main objectives of the project are to outline, as precisely as possible, the circumstances that will prevail in Hungary, the EU and the world economy at the time of the accession and to answer the following questions: What are the most probable scenarios for the future of CAP and the Doha Round? What challenges Hungarian producers will have to face and how they might be able to cope with them? How many will have to give up producing? How accession will affect the different sectors and the production structure? How many will be able to survive in animal husbandry?

2.3.6. Human Development Report for Hungary at the Turn of the Millennium Project director: Klára Fóti Participants:

Klára Fóti, Gábor Fóti, Éva Havasi (ext.), Judit Monostori (ext.), József Nemes Nagy (ext.), Márta Záhonyi (ext.)

Duration:

2000–2003

Summary:

This was the fifth time the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has commissioned a country report on human development in Hungary. This time the Report focused on the issue of human poverty (taking into account the trends over the last ten years) under the title Towards Alleviating Human Poverty. Its structure is as follows: Overview 1. State of Human Development in Hungary 2. Human Poverty and Social Exclusion 3. Poverty and Welfare Benefits Towards Alleviating Human Poverty (concluding chapter) Appendix (statistical database, covering topics and indicators of human development) The Report is now available both in English and Hungarian.


26 2.3.7. Domestic and International Trends in Consumption Project director: András Hernádi Duration:

Continuously

Summary:

On the basis of the concept that consumption precedes and practically determines production, research was focused on whether Central-East European economies and societies, and especially Hungary, can have an identity and follow a model different from that of international trends.

2.3.8. Changes in the Quality of Infrastructure and Services in Hungarian Regions and Major Cities in the Decade of Transition, 1990–2000 Project director: Éva Ehrlich Participants:

Ferenc Erdősi (ext.), Albert Faluvégi (ext.), Imre Lengyel (ext.), Iván Schmideg (ext.), Tamás Szigetvári

Duration:

2001–2004

Summary:

The first phase of the research included the surveying and demonstrating of models and methods for measuring competitiveness. We have elaborated a system of indices for gauging the development level of infrastructure in the regions and major settlements. The examination embraces the 19 counties of Hungary and the 9 cities with inhabitants more than 100,000. Data gained on the county and city levels are being aggregated on the level of the country's seven planning and statistical regions each. Besides some 50 macroeconomic indicators, in the field of infrastructure and services (transport, informatics and telecommunications, health care and medical equipment, housing, environmental features, education and culture, trade and tourism) approximately 120 data are being collected and processed for two years (1990 and 2000) so as to unveil changes in regional development level. By applying this great number of indicators, most of them natural (and with the help of a tried and tested method of synthesis), a multi-segmented regional investigation can also be carried out. This examination will involve such a new approach in revealing regional differences which investigates the causes of disparities and their change over time in groupings, according to the technological or social features of infrastructure. Furthermore, the indicators used in examining the counties and the major cities will render it possible to expose the differences within the regions, and between Budapest and the bigger settlements as well. Determining the changes that took place in the last decade may immediately be utilized in mitigating Hungarian regional disparities of infrastructural development level and in obtaining EU funds already accessible for this purpose.

2.3.9. Hungarian Infrastructure in International Comparison. The Decade of Transition (1990–2000) Project director: Éva Ehrlich Participants:

Albert Faluvégi (ext.), Iván Schmideg (ext.), Tamás Szigetvári

Duration:

2003–2004

Summary:

We have set out to present and assess the situation of several Hungarian infrastructural spheres in the light of a constantly changing international environment (by comparison with those of long-established market economies and transitional countries) These are: * various branches of transportation, * informatics and telecommunications, * health care, * education and culture, * environmental protection. We determined the development level of the five fields examined (using the database of the Central Statistical Office as well) by 49 natural economic indicators. However, in conducting the survey we were obliged to omit the field of housing and housing equipment due to an almost complete lack of reliable international data. The questions raised to answering are the following: Does the Hungarian way of development draw closer to international trends or, on the contrary, it becomes more distinct for some reason or another? Where does Hungary stand in the international ranking of the above-mentioned spheres? How can, in this respect, processes after the change of system be described and evaluated in Hungary? We tried to put emphasis on areas of infrastructure that especially promote (may promote) or even stimulate (may stimulate) the dynamism of Hungarian economy and enhance (may enhance) its competitiveness on the one hand, and in which the joining of international networks and the EU became extremely important on the other.

Endre Bakos (ext.), Sándor Búzás, Istvánné Csejtei (ext.), Péter Holló (ext.), Szabolcs Koppányi (ext.), Gyula Lengyel (ext.), József Lovas (ext.), Szabolcs Nyíri (ext.), Kálmán Papp (ext.), István Pálfalvy (ext.), Elemér Saslics (ext.), Iván Schmideg (ext.), Miklós Somai, Tamás Szigetvári, László Szivi (ext.), Géza Tényi (ext.), András Timár (ext.), Károly Tóth (ext.), István Valkár (ext.)

Duration:

2003–2004

Summary:

Each of the nine major studies being prepared within the framework of this project tackle topical issues related to EU accession: 1. The investigation into the responsibilities and regulatory powers of the central and local governments in transforming public infrastructure; the conditions, possibilities and methods of necessary decentralization. (A thorough examination in this question is especially urgent since widening the scope of action of local governments is an item on the agenda, involving the establishment of an adequate system of financing.) 2. The investigation into the finances of public infrastructure and public enterprises, including their management as well as the creation and allocation of resources; the elaboration of recommendations. 3. Factors determining the competitiveness of transportation (as a whole and its main branches); the formation of the division of labour in the sector in line with EU directives issued in the White Book (2001) on transport policy. 4. Discrepancies between maintenance and development and the reasons of their related strains; the creation of the conditions and methods of striking a balance between maintenance and development. 5. The assessment of the roles played by venture capital and private enterprises in the field of transportation, water management, logistics and postal services; the modes and potentialities of public private partnership. 6. The strategic tasks of the international shipping of goods and transport of passengers with special regard to transit. 7. The state of road safety; the making of recommendations for reducing the risks of accidents, in compliance with EU targets. 8. The security of energy supply and the effects of market-liberalizing processes with great emphasis on the domestic introduction of the new EU directive. 9. The situation of water management in neighbouring countries and its prospects; the questions and impacts of bilateral and multilateral watermanaging agreements and regulations, with special attention to the tasks to perform Hungary had been set. 10. A survey of the most necessary regulations in boosting the development of information-technology infrastructure and putting forward recommendations conform to the established rules of the European Union.

2.3.11. Strengthening the Competitiveness of Hungary Project director: Andrea Szalavetz Duration:

2003–2004

Participants:

Annamária Artner, Zoltán Bassa, Sándor Buzás, György Csáki (ext.), András Inotai, István Kőrösi, Gábor Lakatos, Csaba Novák (ext.), Margit Rácz Our research project on the competitiveness of Hungary is organized around four work packages. The first tackles the theoretical underpinnings of the factors that influence Hungary’s economic competitiveness. In a series of theoretical studies we examine the relation between economic efficiency and export structure, between the industry mix of a country and its competitiveness, as well as the changes in international direct investment tendencies and the effects of these changes on the competitiveness of the Hungarian economy. We seek answer to the question whether transnational corporations, carriers of the globalisation of R&D also drive this globalisation process outside the center of the world economy or only within the most developed countries. In the frame of the second work package we examine the effect of the quality parameters of physical assets and the quantity parameters of the capital stock on the competitiveness of the companies. In order to obtain a real picture on the situation we survey five industries. According to our hypothesis, in the absence of modern, highly developed and internationally competitive technology, even the sophisticated, innovative human capital is not able to compensate for the competitive disadvantages deriving from this situation. Our research is built on interviews with company CEOs and representatives of business federations and also on the compilation and survey of the Hungarian and international literature. The industrial branches to be examined are the following: motor-car-parts industry, textile industry, confectionery industry, foundry industry, test and measuring instruments industry. The aim of the third work package is twofold. The first one is international comparison of various macroeconomic factors of competitiveness. The second is to examine changes in the determinants of competitiveness after Hungary’s accession to the European Union. Finally in the frame of the fourth workpackage our aim is to prepare a comprehensive „handbook” of economic policy recommendations aimed at strengthening national competitiveness.

2.3.12. Structural Change in Hungary. Theoretical Underpinnings and Empirical Analysis Project director: Andrea Szalavetz Duration:

2003–2004

Summary:

Our research rests on two pillars. In the first part of the research we examined the relation between technological development and structural change. We tried to answer the question, whether technological development automatically leads to an increase in the level of specialization. We also examined the flip side of the coin: whether the industries, which a given country is specialized in, exhibit a higher than the average rate of technological development? Finally we formulated our own opinion about the evergreen question, whether we can speak of such a thing as a ‘good specialization’. We tried to complement two well-known theories of structural change with the theory of technological complementarity. The two theories we complemented were (1) the multi-stage theory of technological accumulation and (2) the evolutionary theory, that explains economic growth with the emergence and the development of new industries. The second part of the research (starting in 2004) tries to discover and analyze changes in the relation between technological development and factor intensity.

2.3.13. Relationship with East Central European Countries after Accession Project director:

Tamás Novák

Participants:

András Bakács, Zsuzsa Ludvig, Gábor Tury

Duration:

2002–2003

Summary:

The aim of the research project is to elaborate a strategy towards East Central European countries for the post-accession period. East Central Europe is divided into three groups in the research: accession countries, South East European Countries and East European countries (focusing on Russia and Ukraine). With preparing sub-strategies for the different regions a coherent policy oriented proposal is to be formed.


31

2.3.14. Development Policies and Institutions Participating in Development Policies Project director: Tamás Novák Participants:

András Bakács, Zsuzsa Ludvig, Gábor Tury

Duration:

2003–2004

Summary:

The project is aimed at analyzing policies and institutional preparations in accession countries for supporting catching up and development after accession. With the analyses of successful models of EU countries and the drawing of conclusions from the experiences of Central European countries, a proposal is to be elaborated for the effective framing of the Hungarian development policy model with the most suitable institutional structure.


32

2.4. Selected Topics 2.4.1. Latin American Economic Development Project director: Sándor Buzás Duration:

1999–2004

Summary:

After the lost decade (the eighties), in the last ten years the region has shown a more encouraging and promising picture. The processes of democratization, trade liberalization, and parallel with them the growing attention given by foreign investors to the area made possible to start catching up with the developed world. But the Asian crisis, the effects of natural disasters of recent years as well as the Argentinian events made the near future uncertain. In fact, these havocs are real dangers for the promising evolution of integration processes in the region. The assignment of this project is to follow developments in Latin America, and to outline the possible scenarios of economic and social development.

2.4.2. 'Greater China' as a Decisive Power of the Next Century Project director: Klára Mészáros Participants:

Gyula Jordán (ext.), István Mádi (ext.), Barna Tálas (ext.)

Duration:

1998–2003

Summary:

In its first part the project deals with the processes of development in the biggest unit of Greater China, the People's Republic of China. In forming its position as a big power, the coincidence of three factors is of utmost importance. First, the changes in international environment and the collapse of the bipolar world order should be mentioned. The success of the reforms and the policy of modernization started in 1979 have to be counted as the second factor. Third are the basic conditions determined by the quantitative factors, such as territory, population, etc. The second part of the project considers Chinese territories with various international standings and tries to assess their abilities and possibilities to form a kind of ‘Chinese Common Market’.


33

2.4.3. Science and Technology Policy in China: Further Cooperation with International Communities – the European Union and Hungary Project director: Klára Mészáros Duration:

2003

Summary:

In its first part the project deals with the reforms of science and technology policy in China. The factors that served as the fundamentals of the rapid development and strengthening of the country are (i) the exceptional harmony of internal and external conditions for modernization and (ii) the extensive spread of innovations. The second part of the project takes into account the chances of improving cooperation with the EU and Hungary. The contacts between China and the Union are tightening. In case of Hungary relations are still dominated by bilateral agreements. However, the weight of other forms of cooperation – such as investment, scientific and technological exchange programs – is steadily growing.

2.4.4. Turning Points in Japan and Southeast Asia: Facts, Experiences, Reasons and Prospects. Lessons for the Central and Eastern European Countries Project director: Éva Ehrlich Participants:

Zoltán Bassa, István Benczes (ext.), András Hernádi, Gábor Hunya, Ferenc Kozma (ext.), Ilona Mészáros (ext.), Valéria Szekeres (ext.), Ferencné Szittya (ext.), Barna Tálas (ext.)

Duration:

1999–2003

Summary:

This research goes in quest for the answer to the query of what advantages and disadvantages, even hindrances, may the mere existence of economically more developed countries mean to late-comers in their joining and catching up with a world economy determined by the former. To what extent do the periodically varying world economic constraints collide with the historically evolved social and economic endowments of emerging nations? What kind of contradictions and tensions may the following of a previously successful closing-up strategy in a changed world economic environment lead to? This research scrutinizes the last two decades of economic development in Japan and Southeast Asia. South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia are the ones among the Southeast Asian nations that we especially investigate beside Japan. China is only considered as far as the features of progress in the above countries render it necessary. The assessment of the recent stages of economic development, and the analyzes of the reasons and effects of Japan's decade-long stagnation can provide useful lessons to former socialist countries, for the experiences gained can also show a way of how to avoid the standstills and blind alleys their transition might hide.


35

2.4.5. Far Eastern Responses to Globalization Project director:

András Hernádi

Participants:

Annamária Artner, Zoltán Bassa, Klára Mészáros, András Székely-Doby

Duration:

2003

Summary:

This project was aimed at analyzing and highlighting the responses to globalization by the main role players in the Far East. In the case of Japan, its regionalism, management reforms, R&D and foreign policy measures were scrutinized, while for China and India, their internal economies were looked at more closely. Appropriate government policies and structural reforms were in the focus when the two smaller, export-oriented economies, i.e. South Korea and Taiwan were analyzed. In the cases of some ASEANcountries and also, in a more general approach, throughout Asia, the critical voices towards globalization were taken stock of as well.
