Abstract: | The paper studies the development of material consumption in three transition economies during the years 1990-2002. The Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland and benchmark their material consumption against average values for the 15 member states of the European Union representing a typical market economy. The paper compares consumption of materials in these countries and relates them to relevant socioeconomic variables, using the IPAT equation as a starting point. |
