Abstract

The book presents the conceptual framework for determinants and impacts of business enterprise (firms) entry and exit in Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries, and summarizes the main findings from developing and transition economies. There is comparatively little empirical data regarding the entry and exit of firms across industries. Firm entry and exit are part of the market selection process by which resources are reallocated within or across industries. The book reveals important correlations among policy and market factors in MENA, and suggests further areas of research in other developing regions of the world.
