situation. At the same time, a series of reference states (Austria, Israel, Slovenia and Hungary) have achieved, by today, economic development that exceeds their position, based on as many as four indicators of institutional development. In these states, if other conditions remain the same, a slowdown of development could occur. The extent of the potential is illustrated in Figure 4.1.5, which shows the deviation in the positions of the states, based on the average of five economic development and institutional development indicators. The greatest differences occur in New Zealand, Chile and Estonia – in all three, the gap between the indices indicating their potential, and the achieved economic level (GNI), is more than twentyfold. However, it cannot be precluded that something objective exists, i.e. a geographic factor (distance, smallness of the market), which does not allow the found potential to be realised. In the case of New Zealand, it could be assumed that geographic remoteness has a negative impact. On the negative side, Slovenia stands out, with an income level that is 17 times better than could be assumed, based on the average of institutional indicators. It is not very believable that this position is sustainable. In principle, in this case, there are two paths – either to reconcile oneself to a deceleration of economic development, or to deal with institutional reforms. In the case of Israel and Singapore, the large deviation is related, primarily, to problems with the political environment, which reduces the results related to the quality of govern tance, which has a relatively indirect connection to economic development.
