The impact of foreign and state ownership on post-transition industrial concentration: the case of Polish manufacturing
Economic Change and Restructuring, 2006Co-Authors: Kevin Amess, Barbara M. RobertsAbstract:This paper reports an analysis of the determinants of the level and changes in Polish industrial concentration in the early post-transition era. In particular, the relative effects of foreign and state ownership are examined. The empirical evidence is based on a panel of 144 Polish manufacturing industries over the period 1989–1993. The results suggest that both state and foreign ownership have a significant impact on industry concentration and this relationship is U-shaped. Minimum Efficient Scale is found to be the only other factor to impact on industry concentration.

Are Workers' Enterprises Entry Policies Conventional?
Labour, 2008Co-Authors: Michele Moretto, Gianpaolo RossiniAbstract:One of the main reasons why workers’ enterprises (WE) still represent a relevant chunk of the economy may lay in some affinities with conventional profit maximizing firms. To prove this, we compare the entry policies of WEs and conventional firms when they can decide size at entry while having to stick to it afterwards. Even though short run differences remain, a long run coincidence appears besides that under certainty. Endogenizing size and time of entry in an uncertain dynamic environment we see that WEs enter at the same trigger and size of conventional firms. Both of them wait less and choose a dimension larger than the Minimum Efficient Scale. This may be another way to explain why WE are still an important share of the economy (Hesse and Cihak, 2007) despite the ongoing mantra of their imminent demise.

Are Workers Enterprises Entry Policies Conventional
2007Co-Authors: Michele Moretto, Gianpaolo RossiniAbstract:One of the reasons why workers'enterprises (WE) still represent a relevant chunk of the economy may lay in some affinities with conventional profit maximizing firms. To provide a solid basis to this presumption, we compare the entry policies of WEs and conventional firms when size is set at entry and kept fixed afterwards. Even though short run differences remain between WEs and conventional firms, a long run coincidence appears in an uncertain dynamic environment. Endogenizing size and time of entry we see that the two kinds of firms enter at the same trigger market price and size. Both of them enter earlier and choose a dimension larger than the Minimum Efficient Scale. This generalised coincidence may be another way to explain why WEs still make for an important share of the economy (Hesse and Cihak, 2007) despite the ongoing mantra of their imminent demise.

Returns to Scale in a highly regulated economy: evidence from Indian firms
Journal of Development Economics, 1998Co-Authors: Brian Fikkert, Rana HasanAbstract:Abstract This paper examines returns to Scale for a panel of Indian manufacturing firms from 1976–1985, a period in which government regulations restricted firms' expansion. Observers have argued that these regulations led to unexploited Scale economies in Indian firms, and our estimates lend limited support to this view. Although a large number of firms produce below the Minimum Efficient Scale, average returns to Scale for the various industries are not significantly different from one. Our estimates suggest that recent deregulation will not generate significant gains in Scale efficiency unless expansion is heavily biased towards growth in the smaller firms.
