There is a recent article on free will in Buddhism by Bhikkhu  
Pasadika published in a collective volume. I don't have it at hand at  
this moment, so I cannot say if he answers especially this question  
but might be helpful anyway. Here are the bibliographical data:

Hat der Mensch einen freien Willen? : die Antworten der großen  
Philosophen / hrsg. von Uwe an der Heiden und Helmut Schneider. -  
Stuttgart : Reclam, 2007. -
343 p. - (Reclams Universal-Bibliothek ; Nr. 18521)
ISBN 978-3-15-018521-6 / 3-15-018521-1

All the best
