This paper compares Central-Eastern European transition economies with the OECD members and some countries from Latin America. Recognizing very big differences in their GNP per capita level, the income redistribution is in the focus of the analysis. The similarity of government expenditure structure and taxation is measured and characteristic differences are identified using multivariate statistical methods.
