A conceptual framework for identifying financing preferences of SMEs (2015, background): “…the economic activity of a country, the difficulty in accessing finance slows down their growth and development (Beck, 2007; Beck & Demirguc-Kunt, 2006; Klonowski, 2012; Petersen & Rajan, 2002; Wagenvoort, 2003; Woldie, Mwitta, & Saidimu, 2012; Ayyagari et al., 2008; Wu, Song, & Zeng, 2008).”
DETERMINANTS OF SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZED FAST GROWING ENTERPRISES IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE: A PANEL DATA ANALYSIS (2010, background): “Audretsch and Elston (2002) assert that financial constraints may be more binding as firm size decreases.6 In a more recent study, Wagenvoort (2003) uses financial data for more than 200,000 European manufacturing and construction firms, and finds that European SMEs suffer from a structural finance…”
Perceived credit constraints in the European Union (2012, unknown): “Younger firms have a limited credit history (Gertler 1988; Devereux and Schiantarelli 1990; Wagenvoort 2003a, b; Beck et al. 2006; Cabral and Mata 2003).1 Their restricted credit history makes it difficult for banks to predict the future probability of loan repayment.”
Comparing the Impact of Credit Constraints on the Growth of SMEs in a Transition Country with an Established Market Economy (2006, background): “…literature investigating the role of financial constraints on firm performance, there has only been a couple of empirical studies to date that quantitatively look at the effect of internal finance as measured by cash flow on the growth of firms (Carpenter and Petersen, 2002 and Wagenvoort, 2003).”
Relationship Banking and SMEs: A Theoretical Analysis (2006, background): “They are often considered to play an important role in growth promotion and poverty reduction (Bank 1994, 2002, 2004; Beck et. al 2003; Wagenvoort 2003).”
FIRMS GROWTH, SIZE AND INNOVATION AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE ITALIAN MANUFACTURING SECTOR (2008, methodology): “More rigorous investigation has been carried out by Wagenvoort (2003), who used data on balance sheets and income statements of more than 200,000 European manufacturing and construction firms.”
