Abstract

[eng] All debates on privatisation and relations between production and employment show the importance of small firms in the transformation process of the Eastern European countries, considering contribution to growth as well as changes in the labour market. But these small firms are of two different types, which go from the traditional survival activity to the dynamic start-up. This contribution aims firstly at analysing which forms the small firms can take in the economies in transition, which leads to show the role of the differential of income between the self-employed and the salaried employees in the transition process. Secondly, it presents the empirical elements, which allow us to make a real evaluation of the mentioned processes possible and a validation of the conclusions, suggested by comparing two polar cases of transition, Poland and Romania. . JEL classifications : J60, P23, P31 [fre] Innovation, mobilité du travail et croissance dans la transition . Les débats concernant la privatisation et la relation production-emploi pointent l’importance des petites firmes dans la transformation des pays de l’Est, tant du point de vue du retour à la croissance que de celui des transformations du marché du travail. Mais ces petites firmes revêtent visiblement deux formes bien différentes : l’activité de survie traditionnelle ou la start-up dynamique. La présente contribution vise à analyser les formes que peut prendre la petite firme dans les économies en transition, ce qui met en évidence le rôle du différentiel de revenu entre entreprise individuelle et salariat dans le processus de transition. Puis, nous présentons les éléments empiriques qui permettent de prendre la mesure réelle des processus évoqués et de valider les conclusions qui auront été avancées en comparant deux cas opposés de transition, la Pologne et la Roumanie. . Classification JEL : J60, P23, P31
