  Wine is a highly differentiated product sold at a wide range of different prices. This article aims to provide a systematic review of the literature written on the determinants of wine prices globally. The article runs a search on the combination of keywords “wine”, “price”, “determinant” in the Web of Science, Scopus, JSTOR, ProQuest, and Science Direct databases. Based on a final set of 46 articles written between 1998 and 2018, results suggest that terroir and quality ratings are the most significant determinants of wine prices, while objective quality and label data also determines wine prices, though to a different extent and with a different sign in some cases. The hedonic pricing method was the most common way of analyzing the relationship between wines prices and their determinants, and results are similar for most regions and varieties. We believe that our results can be useful for researchers, stakeholders, and even for decision-makers in better understanding the factors lying behind wine prices.

• Az informális intézmények és a működőtőke-áramlás kapcsolata: hol tart az irodalom?

  A működőtőke-befektetések motivációinak tanulmányozása hosszú múltra tekint vissza. Viszonylag új tényező e téren az intézmények hatásainak vizsgálata. Ez az irodalom a formális intézményeket mint helyspecifikus előnyöket azonosítja, amelyek elősegíthetik a működő tőke beáramlását az országba. A tanulmány célja, hogy bemutassa a szakirodalom empirikus eredményeit az informális intézmények szerepéről egy kevésbé kutatott területen. A tanulmányban ismertetek továbbá egy olyan mérési módszert is, amelyet a későbbiekben ezen kapcsolat vizsgálatára használhatunk.

• The power of path dependence? State capacity and autonomy in East Central Europe during transition

  Ádám Zoltán

  The paper examines development of state capacities and autonomy in East Central Europe during transition, and attempts to establish a relation between state characteristics and trajectories of economic transformation, especially with regard to privatisation and FDI. The assertion is that the quality of state capacities and the degree of state autonomy, although changing over time, mutually reinforces the formulating of economic policies, and hence in structural transformation. Thus, state characteristics are important determinants of transition outcome, but are themselves affected by structural economic changes.

• Economic Freedom and the Process of Economic Growth: An Empirical Analysis Based on a New Measure

  This paper, relying on a conceptualization of economic freedom in terms of kinds of government actions, develops a new measure of economic freedom. However, this is not art for art’s sake; instead, it allows us to provide an explanation for how particular institutions of economic freedom enhance economic development, a view upon which scholars agree. We develop two concepts related to economic freedom, namely the freedom-compatible and freedom-non-compatible institutions and use them as tools in an analysis of the process of economic growth, especially the relationship between economic freedom and long-run income. The major argument is that freedom-compatible institutions are primary determinants of income, while freedom-non-compatible institutions depend upon them and are partly the outcomes of the growth process itself, a fact which is explained by the Misesian theory of interventionism. Our regression analyses support our theoretical insights.
