This report of the AccessLab projects presents a wide range of contributions focusing on the potential differences in enterprise behaviour between new member states and candidate countries from that of mature market economies and on the impact of labour market institutions in the new member states and the candidate countries. We extend on existing literature by providing detailed analyses on the impact of incentive structure for managers created in the candidate countries and new member states, and by focusing in some detail on the regional determinants of firm growth and firm wage policies in these countries.
