During the last decades, the substantial development of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has led to a number of economic and noneconomic changes in all countries worldwide. The ICT progress can significantly influence macroeconomic outcomes and it is widely recognized as an important factor of the transition toward a new economic system. This transition was especially challenging for former command economies. Since these economies are characterized by relatively low standards of living, poor infrastructure and continuous changes in economy structure and regulatory framework, the ICT development can have adverse effect on economic activities. In that sense, this study addresses the role of ICT development in enhancing the economic growth in 11 EU transition economies over the 2000-2019 period, using the linear regression analysis. The obtained results suggest

“…This trend was further exacerbated by Covid-19-related events (Kalotay & Sass, 2021). Braja and Gemzik-Salwach (2020) argue that in terms of the high-tech exports share in the total national merchandise exports, Slovakia and Poland underperform compared to the EU-27 average, while the Czech Republic and Hungary exceed the average. However, unlike the rest of the V4 countries, the trend over time is negative in the Czech Republic.…”

Research background: In the Visegrad Four (V4) countries (Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Slovakia), the inward foreign direct investment (FDI) shows high shares in the exports and gross domestic product (GDP). Furthermore, reinvested earnings play a significant role in the national balances of payments (BoP). Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the reinvestment rates and effective corporate income tax rates (ETRs) of transnational corporations (TNCs) and financial institutions settled in the V4 countries and compare them with the said rates in other European Union (EU) Member States. It is essential to unveil factors shaping investors? decisions to reinvest profits. Policymakers should reflect on them when cultivating the overall business climate to boost citizens? welfare. Purpose of the article: We aim to identify the determinants of the FDI profit reinvestment rate in the V4 countries as host economies from 2014 to 2019 and draw a comparison with the EU?27 average. We dedicate special attention to the correlation between the reinvestment and the ETRs and other selected business climate indicators as specified in the World Bank?s Ease of Doing Business (World Bank, 2020). Methods: To assess the determinants of the reinvestment rates, we employ a three-stage model of multiple linear regression, where we analyse extensive datasets published by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Eurostat, World Bank, and public and aggregate country-by-country reports (CbCR) provided by the respective financial institutions and TNCs. Findings & value added: Our research shows that the corporate income tax (CIT) rate and ETRs significantly correlate with the reinvestment rate. The same applies to three Ease of Doing Business sub-indicators (Starting a business, Getting credit, and Contract enforcement). Contrary to the findings of Lundan (2006), Beugelsdijk et al. (2010), Nguyen and Rugman (2015), and Sutherland et al. (2020), macroeconomic factors, the profitability of corporations, and exchange rate stability turned out to be statistically insignificant. Our research has policy implications, for it can contribute to policy discussions on enhancing business environments in the V4 countries and ways to motivate foreign investors to reinvest their profits. The added value combines macroeconomic data with the unique and relatively new CbCR databases.
