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.

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.

Führt die Umsetzung des Programms „Stadtumbau Ost“ zur Herausbildung urbaner Regime in ostdeutschen Städten?
Peter Franz
One-off Publications,
No. 5,
2007
Abstract
Many East German cities are suffering from housing vacancies and depopulation. The federal state has launched a subsidy program “Stadtumbau Ost” (City Reconstruction East) to fight the problems caused by these conditions. Cities getting funds from this subsidy program have installed committees and expert circles for making decisions where in the city to remove housing units. The institutionalisation of these decisional structures besides the established local political system is the starting point of the author to examine if these structures already are qualifying as “urban regimes” an approach primarily developed by US-American political scientists.
