These incurred creditors during procedure failing firms. In an endogenous model with where firms privately observe outcome increase in risk reduces growth. happens because, present, higher enlarges wedge between rental rate capital and its marginal product, thereby slowing down accumulation. growth-reducing effect is stronger higher. Empirical support for these propositions provided a regression that exploits cross-country variations dispersion firms’ real sales as proxy along recovery rates measure proxies inverse costs.

We model these changes and sh...
