Foreign direct investment is generally expected to play a significant role as a multiplier of modern production and management know-how in Central Eastern European transition economies.

Factors accounting for the enactment of a competition law – an empirical analysis
Franz Kronthaler, Johannes Stephan
One-off Publications,
No. 6,
2005
Abstract
The paper is concerned with the factors that account for decisions to enact a national competition law. In a first step, the paper updates and enlarges the existing data bases of countries that have enacted a competition law. The paper then identifies and discusses possible factors that influence the decision to enact a competition law. In a third step, the method of panel-data logit analysis is employed to test a set of hypothesis pertaining to the factors across the time dimension and across countries. The results of this analysis are interpreted in terms of significance and in terms of the sign of their influence on the probability of a country to enact. Given generality of the analysis, the results can shed light on the probability of individual countries, and in particular developing countries, to actually take the step of enactment.

Factors Accounting for the Enactment of a Competition Law - an Empirical Analysis
Franz Kronthaler, Johannes Stephan
Antitrust Bulletin,
No. 52,
2007
Abstract
This work is concerned with the factors accounting for decisions to enact a national competition law. We first update and enlarge existing data bases of countries that have enacted a competition law. We then identify and discuss the factors that may influence the decision to enact a competition law. Panel-data logit analysis is then used to test a set of hypotheses relating to the factors involved across time and across countries. The results are interpreted in terms of significance and the sign of their influence on the probability that a country enacts. The results shed light on the probability of individual countries, particularly developing countries, taking the step of enactment.

Geldpolitische Strategien im Umbruch
Diemo Dietrich, Albrecht F. Michler
Systeme monetärer Steuerung - Analyse und Vergleich geldpolitischer Strategien. Schriften zu Ordnungsfragen der Wirtschaft, Band 86,
No. 86,
2007
Abstract
In recent times the strategies of monetary policy, in particular that of the ECB, have been in the limelight of both scientific and public attention. After introducing into conceptual basics of monetary policy strategies, we compare inflation targeting and monetary targeting as the two prevalent strategies. The criteria established for this comparison are the way how the transmission of monetary policy is modeled, the role of expectations, the meaning of a nominal anchor as well as transparency and accountability. We conclude with a critical appraisal of the current ECB strategy.
