Abstract

Die EU-Osterweiterung ermöglicht eine stärkere Arbeitsteilung zwischen den relativ kapitalreichen Staaten der EU und den relativ arbeitsreichen Zutrittsländern Mittel- und Osteuropas, von der insbesondere die ostdeutschen Kreise in Nähe der Grenze profitieren können. Diese Studie widmet sich der Fragestellung, ob sich diese positiven Effekte in einer Verbesserung der Standortsituation grenznaher Kreise gemessen an der Veränderung des Gründungsverhaltens widerspiegeln.
