We have branch-level data and use our knowledge of the process that led to the adoption of the reforms to implement two estimators that address endogeneity bias in a complementary fashion: an IV approach and Generalized Propensity Score estimation. Our results show that some of the reforms had a positive impact on productivity, but they also underscore the risks of quantity-based incentives where quality is important.}, keywords={banking;foreign ownership;incentives;endogeneity of HRM policies;insider econometrics;Central and Eastern Europe}, }
