| Tiivistelmä: | This paper examines the economic effects on firms' policies of differences in law enforcement (henceforth as: l-et). It is found that in judicial districts with longer trials, bank financing is more costly and firms are smaller. However, there is not found any significant relation btw. l-et. and firms' leverage ratio. The paper's results are explained within a 2-region dynamic general equilibrium model with asymmetric information and collateralized credit contracts. It is found that a stronger enforcement of creditors' rights both improves credit conditions and fosters individual capital accumulation. There is found a positive relation btw. individual savings and quality of l-et. |
