Entrepreneurs and the ordering of institutional reform: Poland, Romania, Russia, the Slovak Republic and Ukraine compared

By measures of job growth, security of property and market development, our countries fall into two groups: an advanced group of Poland, Romania and the Slovak Republic, with the Slovak Republic falling somewhat behind the other two; and a backward group of Russia and Ukraine. Macroeconomic stability is not sufficient for private sector growth. A lack of bank finance does not seem to prevent private sector growth. More inhibiting than inadequate finance are insecure property rights.
