“…Salavrakos & Petrochilos (2003) attempt to investigate the main factors leading to FDI directed from Greece towards the Balkan and Black Sea countries and conclude that the most important are lower wages in the host countries and lower interest rates in Greece after the participation in EMU, which boosted investment.…”

However, since the early 1990s it became an immigrant destination and nowadays up to a tenth of the population are immigrants, mainly from neighbouring Balkan countries and, especially, Albania. This large scale immigration within a short time period had important social, as well as, economic consequences. The paper reviews the existing evidence and concludes that on average the economic effects of immigration were beneficial, although their distributional consequences were adverse. Greek immigration policy was haphazard and more efforts are needed in order to integrate the immigrants in the economic and social fabric of the country.JEL Classification: F22

“…This ethnic minority group employed practices allowing for flexibility in business organisation and innovation in accounting methods: the group, effectively embedded in the wider network of international finances, was successful in facilitating the integration of Constantinople into the western European financial markets (Pepelasis Minoglou, 2002). In the contemporary era, a competitive advantage appears to be secured for Greek entrepreneurial activity in the Black Sea area (Salavrakos and Petrochilos, 2003), or in other locally situated communities (Labrianidis, 2004).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to offer a theoretical framework for the analysis of the eventual implications of Greek Orthodoxy for business and entrepreneurial activities in general. Design/methodology/approach -The paper examines the basic concepts, tenets and principles -in particular, those being of interest to business and entrepreneurship -of a specific religious worldview, Greek Orthodoxy. It then applies these religious norms to value-based entrepreneurial pursuits and assesses their potential impact on entrepreneurial motivation and action. Particular emphasis is given to the societal relevance of this comprehensive worldview. In this respect, it is argued that Greek Orthodoxy's binding principles should also be examined in their relationship with ethno-religious communities underlying the formation of entrepreneurial networks beneficial to economic prosperity and overall welfare. Findings -The paper conceptualises the potential benefits derived from a specific religious worldview, as well as its capacity to enrich entrepreneurial discourses. While these benefits are primarily situated at the individual level (at least to the degree to which religious beliefs can inform decisions), there is a rationale in viewing religious truth claims as constituent of ethno-religious identities of both local and immigrant communities. Propositions exemplifying the behaviour of entrepreneurs who draw from such important ethic and religious resources are also offered. Limitations of the present study, as well as areas of prospective research, are equally taken into consideration. Originality/value -The paper attempts to offer a tentative framework epitomising the significance of Greek Orthodoxy for the world of business and entrepreneurship. It further provides the theoretical foundations of future empirical research on religious-based entrepreneurial attitudes in the wider context of Eastern Orthodoxy.

“…(b) Cultural, commercial and social links with the countries of Central and Eastern Europe facilitate the Greek presence in the region. In fact, the recent FDI activity there has been viewed by economic historians as a reestablishment of the commercial activities of the Greek people flourishing in the previous century (Salavrakos and Petrochilos, 2003). (c) The importance attributed by the European Commission to the strategic role that Greece can play in the reconstruction of the Balkans.…”

Prospects for the Greek Economy in the Post‐enlargement Era

This paper examines the consequences for Greece of the EU enlargement eastwards. The analysis is based on an evaluation of the Greek economy competitiveness relative to the economies of the acceding and candidate countries during the last decade. Using data disaggregated up to the third digit, the magnitude of Greek inter‐ and intra‐industry trade with the above countries is determined and contrasted to the corresponding trade with the EU. Other issues examined are the effects from factor movements such as the FDI flows and migration, and the macroeconomic effects from the reallocation of EU funds. Enlargement is expected to exert positive trade and FDI effects on the Greek economy, a negative effect on future economic growth as a result of budgetary reductions and an uncertain effect on labour markets from migration. A non‐exploited trade potential of Greece with the Balkan countries creates further opportunities for regional development.
