| Title | Determinants of competition: A comparative analysis of CEE and CIS countries |
| Summary | The aim of this paper is to provide a comparative analysis of the key variables that have an impact on the intensity of competition in CEE and CIS countries. The business and competitive environment across these two regions are widely discussed in the economic literature. However, there is a small number of papers that directly investigate determinants of competition. Using firm-level data and I analyze the factors that determine competition across transition countries. I found a positive relationship between lower entry barriers and intensity of competition. Another interesting result is that enterprises from CEEC face significant pressure from foreign competitors in contrast to the post-Soviet countries. In addition there is an important finding that implementation of the hard budget constraints highly intensifies competition in CIS countries. |
