Editors Nowontny, Back, and Ritzberger-Grünwald present reasearchers, academics, students, policy makers, and practitioners with a collection of essays and academic articles that examine the
links, tangible and perceived, between the real economy and the financial cycle of boom and bust, by looking at case studies in Central, Eastern, and South-Eastern Europe (CESEE) countries. The
seventeen international contributions that make up the bulk of the text are organized in five parts, covering the framing of the discussion, credit cycles, central bank policy, and the real
economy in CESEE countries, real estate bubbles and the financial crisis, the finance-growth nexus, and the policy response in Europe to the financial crisis. The authors are all employed by
Oesterreichische Nationalbank of Austria. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
