In the late 1980s, Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union went through one of the most dramatic political and economic transformation in history. People living in Russia, Poland, Hungary, the Czech and Slovak Republic, Bulgaria, Romania, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Croatia, and other countries have welcomed the change in the presence of high expectations of future prosperity. However, although governments fall over night, economic changes are slow and usually painful. In my thesis I focus on the transformation of the banking from a centrally planned system to a market-oriented environment.

520 $a In the late 1980s, Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union went through one of the most dramatic political and economic transformation in history. People living in Russia, Poland, Hungary, the Czech and Slovak Republic, Bulgaria, Romania, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Croatia, and other countries have welcomed the change in the presence of high expectations of future prosperity. However, although governments fall over night, economic changes are slow and usually painful. In my thesis I focus on the transformation of the banking from a centrally planned system to a market-oriented environment.
520 $a I start by introducing the philosophy of money and credit in a centrally planned economy and argue that the legacy of more than forty-five years of central planning is still present. After the fall of the iron curtain, governments of the transition countries were left with no choice but to first restructure their banking sectors and then to privatize most of the state-owned commercial banks. Privatization of the existing banks and entry of new banks, however, warrants effective banking regulation and supervision and I use the institutional framework to analyze the issues policymakers in transition countries encounter in creation and implementation of banking regulation and supervision.
520 $a I also investigate how legal extensiveness and legal effectiveness affects availability of bank finance in transition countries. My results indicate that firm size matters and the extent to which creditors can control the bankruptcy process significantly affects firms' credit constraints. In addition, I find that poor contract enforcement greatly increases firms' credit constraints, but the effectiveness of the court system is less important.
520 $a Finally, I examine the interaction between borrowing costs and firms' decisions to secure loans. I demonstrate that decisions of firms in transition economies to secure loans are consistent with the decisions of firms in more advanced economies and that presence of collateral is associated with riskier loans. At the firm level, I find that firms' decision to pledge collateral is primarily determined by the interest rate differential, but at the country level, the efficiency of contract enforcement matters the most.
