Internationalisation through the Warsaw Stock Exchange: an empirical analysis

Witold Wilinski

Post-Communist Economies, 2012, vol. 24, issue 1, 145-154

Abstract: This article presents the results of empirical research relating to internationalisation of Polish companies. The analysis relates mainly to motives for undertaking investment, methods of financing, ownership structure and one aspect of institutional environment, i.e. the Polish mandatory pension fund system. The research was based on a sample of 400 large and medium-size companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, out of which 96 companies conducting international activities were selected. The time range covers the years 2000--10, and in the case of annual financial statements 2009 is the last year of the research period. The results may be helpful both in further theoretical analyses of internationalisation of companies from CEE and other emerging markets and may also represent a significant practical value for the management of the companies.
