Book Information

This book uses a variety of perspectives and tools, including theoretical modeling and cross-country evidence, to examine the costs and benefits of protecting creditor rights. Case studies look at creditor protection in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Paraguay and Peru. The studies find that more effective judicial enforcement would help to make more credit available and improve the overall performance of the credit market. (Midwest).
