- Stock markets and industry growth: an eastern European perspective
-
May 15, 2007 09:54
This paper reviews recent stock market developments in Poland and the Czech Republic and provides a case-study of the direction of causality between stock market expansion and economic growth. It finds no evidence that the relative failure of the security market in the Czech Republic affected the country’s economy. It also analyses the composition of Polish private equity offerings and finds that industries traditionally considered financially dependent were not among the largest Polish equity issuers. Instead, the growth of the Polish equity market has been driven by otherwise well-performing industries, such as residential building and commercial banking
- Ten years after: what is special about transition countries?
-
May 16, 2007 14:41
Most countries commonly classified as ‘in transition’ are still recognisably different in some respects from other countries with a similar income per capita: a larger share of their workforce is in industry, they use more energy, they have a more extensive infrastructure and invest more in schooling. However, in terms of the ‘software’ necessary for a market economy, two groups emerge: the countries that are candidates for EU membership seem to have partly completed the transition. By contrast, the countries from the former Soviet Union that form the CIS and the South-eastern European (SEE) countries, are still largely lagging behind in terms of the enforcement of property rights and the development of financial markets.

- Trade liberalization and the politics of financial development
-
November 26, 2007 17:34
Using a sample of 41 trade liberalizers the authors conduct an event study and show that the change in the strength of promoters vis-a-vis opponents is a very good predictor of subsequent financial development. The result is not driven by changes in demand for external funds, or by the success of the trade policy. The relationship is mediated by policy reforms, the kind that induces competition in the financial sector, in particular.

-
November 26, 2007 17:37

Their analysis indicates that a decrease in an industry tariff was associated with higher wages being earned by workers employed in the industry, controlling for worker characteristics and geographic variables.

- Reducing structural dominance and entry barriers in Russian industry
-
January 2, 2008 15:54
Using survey and other data, the author suggests that much of Russian industry is immune from robust competition because of heavy vertical integration, geographic segmentation, and the concentration of buyers and sellers, in selected markets.
