Abstract

The paper brings an empirical research of various elements as explanatory
factors of business environment reforms. Using the panel data model, the paper
investigates the effects of macroeconomic conditions, political institutions and
international factors on business environment reforms. The econometric analysis is
performed on a panel dataset of European Union member states for the period between
1995 and 2017. Additionally, by clustering countries into new and old EU member states,
analysis was also conducted for these two sub-panels. The obtained results confirm that
business environment reforms depend on a number of factors, and that these differ
between old and new EU member states.
