Abstract
Policymakers in Central and Eastern Europe are encountering difficulti es in resolving the clash between market efficiency and distributional equity. A similar tension characterized post-war Western Europe. Howe ver, in Central and Eastern Europe expectations emanating from the pre vious regime presume that distributional equity will compensate for th e lack of market efficiency. The possible resolution of this tension i s discussed in the cont ext of the privatization in Hungary.
