KEYWORDS
ABSTRACT
For realization plans of research five hypotheses were selected and verified. The
results are described below.
1. Ideological differences of governments (left, right, centre) coexist with different
indicators of economy.
2. Two pro-growth strategies; a) stimulation via budget and little pressure on
reforms or b) high pressure on reforms, have statistical support, but more
efficient is the second one.
3. The larger political power of the government (obtained votes) and the more
stable is the government, the greater advancement of reforms and a relatively
higher economic growth.
4. The higher the political power of centre and right parties, (participation in
government weighted by number of days), the more advanced reforms and
relatively higher economic growth.
5. Left parties are slightly less willing to quick implementation of reforms than
right and centre parties.
