How judicial efficiency impacts trade credit and doubtful receivables
Judicial efficiency has been widely identified as a factor that has an impact on credit markets and firms’ financial decisions. In this paper, we study the relationship between judicial efficiency and trade credit granted by firms to their customers, as well as how the judicial system influences the proportion of those credits that are deemed ‘doubtful’. We test our assumption by analysing a sample of 1526 listed, ‘non-financial’ firms located in countries in the eurozone, during the period 2011–2021. The proxies of judicial efficiency are the length of judicial proceedings and rule of law, obtained from the World Bank’s ‘Doing Business’ and the World Bank Governance Indicators (WGI) databases, respectively. The empirical findings confirm our hypotheses that efficient justice allows for increased supplier confidence when extending financing to their customers and reduces doubtful trade credit.
期刊介绍：
The European Journal of Law and Economics provides readers with high-quality theoretical and empirical research in which both the legal and economic dimensions merge and combine. The journal welcomes articles that promote a better understanding of legal phenomena, legal decisions made by judges, courts or regulatory agencies, and involving economic tools. Theoretical papers are welcome, provided they have a strong basis in law and economics. We also welcome case studies, as well as empirical analyses – including empirical legal studies – and experimental investigations. The European Journal of Law and Economics does not favor any particular topic, but does have a focus on new and emerging problems. European themes are particularly welcome, because we feel it is important to exploit Europe’s considerable institutional diversity in order to build a more robust body of theory and empirical evidence. However, the purpose of the journal is also to showcase the diversity of law and economics approaches, as supplied by an international mix of authors. Drawing on the support of respected scholars from around the world, who serve as consulting editors and editorial board members, the Editors wish to give contributing authors the opportunity to improve their papers, while also offering them a quick and efficient review process.
