we considered statistical information from various sources, exhibiting
sustained economic growth of Baltic countries. Now with some confidence
we can conclude that even world financial crises has made only
short-term impact on the stable growth trend. The Baltic States once
again are taking economic growth leadership in EU and will seek to
sustain these positions in the nearest future.
The particular role of exports in the recovered economic growth confirms
presumptions regarding exceptional manifestation of Balassa-Samuelson
effect
in Baltics. Nevertheless, one needs more arguments, why this effect
contributes more in the development of Baltic region then others. For
example, the Visegrad countries, having a similar level of gross
domestic product (GDP), should have the same development rate. In this
contribution we would like to draw your attention at the statistics of
gross earnings, leaving details of macroeconomic modeling aside, as
labor earning is a key parameter in all models.
