Abstract

Lényeges tudományos és gazdaságpolitikai kérdés, hogy miként alakult az átmeneti közép-kelet-európai gazdaságokban a jövedelemegyenlőtlenség és a szegénység. A Világbank 1996. évi jelentésében az átmeneti országok viszonyairól szóló megállapí tások nagy része egybecseng a szerzők eddigi ismereteivel és kiegészíti azt, néhány állítás azonban merőben különbözik más forrásokból szerzett információiktól. Külö nösen vitathatónak találták a jövedelemegyenlőtlenségekre és a szegénység mérté kére vonatkozó adatokat. E különbségek legtöbbször az eltérő módszertani eljárá sok használatából adódnak. A különböző eredmények különböző politikai következ tetések levonásához vezethetnek. Ezért fontos az egyes módszerek által kapott ered mények érvényességének vizsgálata.
