At the start of transition, most firms were state-owned, inefficient and limited in their objectives by the dictates of central planning. To escape these limitations, a combination of privatisation, the entry of new private firms and fundamental changes to the competitive and regulatory environment has been at the core of the transition process. However, the extent to which barriers to doing business have been eliminated has varied widely across the region. This chapter uses the Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey (BEEPS) to analyse the factors explaining how firms have performed. The BEEPS provides data over a nine-year period that allows us to analyse how important firm characteristics and country factors are in determining performance. date: 2005-11 date_type: published publisher: European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) official_url: https://www.ebrd.com/publications/transition-report-archive oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green commissioning_body: European Bank for Reconstruction and Developemnt verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1059149 confidential: false lyricists_name: Bruno, Randolph lyricists_id: RBRUN21 actors_name: Bruno, Randolph actors_id: RBRUN21 actors_role: owner full_text_status: restricted series: EBRD Transition Report number: 2005 place_of_pub: London, UK pagerange: 82-92 pages: 11 isbn: 1898802300 book_title: EBRD Transition Report citation: Bruno, RL; Svejnar, J; Commander, S; Rodionova, Y; (2005) The Performance of Firms in Transition, in: Transition Report.
