Presents a classification of the countries studied based on comparison of the growth rates in the 1990s and the base period (1951-1980).  Three groups of countries are identified: leaders, laggards and intermediate cases.  Makes an attempt to see if there emerges a pattern or any kind of regularity with respect to the causes of the adoption of reforms.  Identifies relevant short-term and long-term factors.  Analyzes the way reforms were implemented.  c10/16/00kJOY_D
