Abstract
The Editors have judged that the 2022 Best Paper Prize be awarded to: Mariarosaria Agostino, Lucia Errico, Sandro Rondinella and Francesco Trivieri for their paper “Lending Relationships and SMEs’ Productivity. Does Social Capital Matter?” The paper encapsulates the scholarly aims of the journal by using microeconomic analysis to examine an issue that is of scholarly interest, and pertinent to both business and policymakers. Specifically, the paper examines the association between social capital and the lending relationship between banks and small firms. Interestingly, social capital is captured as an endowment arising from the institutional context in which banks and firms operate. Therefore, the paper further enhances our understanding of the role of institutional quality in economic activity. Along with recognition from the Journal, the Best Paper Prize includes a cash award for the authors.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of the Economics of Business presents original, peer reviewed research in economics that is clearly applicable to business or related public policy problems or issues. The term "business" is used in its widest sense to encompass both public and private sector—governmental, private non-profit and cooperative organizations, as well as profit-seeking enterprises. International Journal of the Economics of Business carries papers relating to three main spheres: The organization—to analyse and aid decision making and the internal organization of the business; The industry—to analyse how businesses interact and evolve within and across industries.
