Business Environment and Enterprise Surveys (BEEPs) Interactive dataset: Developed jointly by the World Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, BEEPS is a survey of over 4000 firms in 22 transition countries conducted in 1999-2000 to examine a wide range of interactions between firms and the state. Based on face-to-face interviews with firm managers and owners, BEEPS is designed to generate comparative measurements in such areas as corruption, state capture, lobbying, and the quality of the business environment, which can then be related to specific firm characteristics and firm performance. The BEEPS Interactive Dataset gives access to the results of the BEEPS survey for a wide range of different users.
