This paper examines how the on-the-job search of workers in the state sector who are seeking jobs in the private sector affects private sector employment, the unemployment level, and the unemployment duration in the transition economies of Central and Eastern Europe. The main finding is that on-the-job searching can account for the coexistence of a quickly growing private sector and a high unemployment level of long duration. The paper also addresses the issue of the optimal (output maximizing) rate of state sector closure and finds that the rate is slower when workers are simultaneously job hunting than when they are not.

This paper reports economic developments in Grenada during the 1990s. Following a strong expansion over 1987–91, real GDP grew at a slower pace in 1992 and declined in 1993, largely reflecting the adoption of adjustment measures and a severe drought. Growth resumed in 1994 owing to stronger tourism and manufacturing activity, the installation of new electricity-generating capacity, and increased output by the water company. In 1995, real GDP continued to expand at an annual rate of about 3 percent, mainly because of a recovery in agricultural output induced by higher export prices.

This paper reviews economic developments in Nepal during 1990–97. With a new government coming to office in December 1994, progress on structural reforms stalled in 1994/95 and financial policies weakened. GDP growth slowed to 2.9 percent, reflecting adverse conditions in agriculture. The external situation deteriorated further in the first quarter of 1995/96 in part because interest rates in Nepal did not rise in line with rates in India, where monetary policy had tightened. Following a further change in government in September 1995, steps were taken to address the emerging macroeconomic imbalances.
