Abstract
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. The following paper examines the various mechanisms by which such technological spillover effects could in theory take place and compares them with the results of an empirical study of their practical significance for Hungarian industry.

Factors accounting for the enactment of a competition law – an empirical analysis
Franz Kronthaler, Johannes Stephan

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.

Abstract
Die anhaltend hohe Unterbeschäftigung in Ostdeutschland wird mit der im Vergleich zum Arbeitsangebot geringen Nachfrage der Unternehmen nach Arbeitskräften erklärt. Maßgeblich für die fehlenden Angebote an Arbeitsplätzen durch die Wirtschaft sind die hohe Kapitalintensität der Produktion sowie das mit der Re-Industrialisierung verbundene Spezialisierungsmuster der ostdeutschen Produktion.
