Dear all:

BREAD will organize its next European workshop on

"Barriers to entry and to expansion in the developing world: the role
of institutional constraints"

on August 28-29, in Amsterdam.

This workshop will seek a highly interactive exchange seeking common
ground between the themes of poverty and the role of access to
finance in development.

Firms in the developing world face a myriad set of constraints in
both the start-up and early phases of expansion. Many new
enterprises live in the murky world of the underground economy, and
suffers additional barriers to further expansion.

We are interested in work, both empirical and theoretical, that
examines this set of barriers to establishment and growth. Possible
areas include
(but are not limited to):

* Government regulation
* Access to finance
* Human capital access
* Corruption
* The economics of the informal sector

The workshop will be small and interactive.

On behalf of the organizing committee,

Enrico Perotti
Ray Fisman
Marianne Bertrand
