| description | Abstract
In this study, we examine whether retailers in Eastern Europe and Central Asia found corruption, courts, tax
administration, tax rates, political instability, and business licensing/permits as an obstacle to their firm. We focus on a
specific period when retailers all around the world suffered in terms of revenues and profits. This is the period
surrounding the 2008-2009 global crisis. We first examine the degree to which retailers see each of these factors as an
obstacle in the pre-crisis period. Were they seeing each of these factors as a minor, moderate, major, or very severe
obstacle, or were they seeing them as no obstacle? Then, we compare our findings to our findings in the post-crisis
period. Had their perceptions improved or worsened after the crisis ended? We expect to see improvements in each of
these areas due to governments’ efforts to lessen the burden on retailers. Our results show that retailers’ perceptions of
all six factors had improved post-crisis. These findings confirm that, overall, governments were successful in reducing
the burdens on retailers. |
