Abstract
A tanulmány javaslatot tesz a puha költségvetési korlát fogalmának tisztázására. A fogalmat széles körben alkalmazzák mind a szocialista és posztszocialista, mind pedig a piaci gazdaságok elemzése során. A szerzők által megfogalmazott értelmezés felöleli a puha költségvetési korlát jelenségcsoportjával kapcsolatos megközelítések zömét, és egyben osztályozza az okokat és a következményeket (I. rész). Ezen az értelmezésen alapul a témáról szóló elméleti irodalom áttekintése, valamint összevetése a dinamikus elkötelezettség problematikájával foglalkozó más közgazdasági irodalommal (II. rész).* Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) kód: P10, P20, P30, P40, G20, G30, H60, H70.
