- The 2002 Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey: Results from a survey of 6,100 firms
-
May 15, 2007 09:54
This paper provides an overview and discusses key findings of the 2002 Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey (BEEPS), implemented jointly by the EBRD and the World Bank. (The first round of the BEEPS was implemented in 1999.) Four important conclusions arise from the analysis. First, qualitative measures of the business environment in the BEEPS appear to provide reasonably accurate measures, both across various business environment dimensions and countries and over time. These qualitative measures are compared with both objective statistical measures, where possible, and quantitative business environment measures from the BEEPS. Second, qualitative measures of the business environment show that in virtually all transition economies the business environment has improved significantly between 1999 and 2002. Third, the analysis of quantitative measures of the business environment shows a strong association between business obstacles, added costs and constraints on business, such as corruption, private security protection or reliance on internal sources of finance. However, evidence suggests that the nature of corruption in tax administration, which tends to be centralised, is less costly to firms than is corruption in business regulation, which is decentralised. Fourth, the analysis of firm investment and growth shows that the quality of the business environment in 1999 (based on qualitative measures) is significantly and positively associated with investment by firms in the period 1999 to 2001. It also shows that state capture significantly boosts the investment and real revenue growth rates of firms that engage in this activity, but holds back the growth performance of other firms

May 16, 2007 14:41
This paper examines the impact of banking and enterprise reforms and other factors on banking development in transition economies at both the aggregate level and that of individual banks. A unique contribution of the paper is the analysis of a new panel data set of 515 banks in 16 transition economies for the years 1994-99. The analyses show that progress in banking reform is the sine qua non of banking development.

- Financial structures to promote private sector development in south-eastern Europe
-
May 16, 2007 14:41
This paper investigates the extent to which the financial sector in south-eastern Europe (SEE) responds to the needs of the local private sector. It does so through an analysis of the sources of finance used by enterprises when making fixed investments, and by looking at the level of banking intermediation and the (lack of) development of the non-banking financial sector. Enterprises in SEE are found to rely mainly on internal funds to finance expansion.

-
May 16, 2007 14:41
The paper analyses the principal objectives and constraints of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), using data from a survey of 437 owners and top managers (CEOs) of SMEs in Russia and Bulgaria. The CEOs display similar views and identify a small number of specific constraints as being the most important ones. The constraint on external financing is a particularly serious one and the SMEs use internal finance as a fall-back option.
