Financial Constraints and Productivity: Evidence from Euro Area Companies (2018, neutral): “The main drawbacks faced to identify financial constraints with a single variable are 1) the fact 11See Carpenter and Petersen (2002) and Beck et al. (2008) on the role of size.”
The Role of Finance in Economic Development: Benefits, Risks, and Politics (2011, background): “income-elastic than the development of the banking system (Beck et al., 2008).”
Financial Constraints and Small and Medium Enterprises: A Review* (2020, background): “Moreover, Beck et al. (2008a) exploit the full range of financing choices faced by large and small businesses, and find that property right protection greatly promotes SME’s success in obtaining bank financing.”
Perceived credit constraints in the European Union (2012, neutral): “Although some cross-country studies exist on the more general concept of financing obstacles to firm growth (Clarke et al. 2006; Beck et al. 2006, 2008), there have been no direct assessments of SMEs’ access to bank loans in both developed and less developed nations.”
Export behaviour of SMEs in transition countries (2013, background): “Moreover, SMEs face greater difficulties in obtaining external finance (due to information asymmetries and/or institutional factors), which may be reflected in their overall performance, including international activities (Beck et al. 2006, 2008; Hutchinson and Xavier 2006).”
Corporate Resilience to Banking Crises: The Roles of Trust and Trade Credit (2016, positive): “Focusing on the ﬁnancing patterns of 48 countries in 1999, Beck, Demirg¨uc¸-Kunt, and Maksimovic (2008)) show that although ﬁrms that are ﬁnancially constrained can partially substitute trade for bank ﬁnance, the availability of trade credit is more limited in developing economies.”
How Collateral Laws Shape Lending and Sectoral Activity (2016, positive): “A later group of scholars—most notably Rajan and Zingales (1998), Wurgler (2000), Cetorelli and Gamberra (2001), Fisman and Love (2004), and Beck et al. (2008)—focused on the development of sectors as well as countries, and they reached the same conclusion: finance leads growth.”
