Enterprise Size, Financing Patterns, and Credit Constraints in Brazil


Free Download Manuela Francisco, "Enterprise Size, Financing Patterns, and Credit Constraints in Brazil: Analysis of Data from the Investment Climate Assessment Survey"
English | 2005 | pages: 72 | ISBN: 0821361295 | PDF | 1,1 mb
‘Enterprise Size, Financing Patterns, and Credit Constraints in Brazil’ investigates the importance of firm size with respect to accessing credit. The principal findings are that size strongly affects access to credit compared to firm performance, and other factors, such as management education, location or the industrial sector to which the firm belongs. Additional findings are that the impact of size on access to credit is greater for longer term loans and that public financial institutions are more likely to lend to large firms. Finally, financial access constraints may have a less significant differential impact across firms of different sizes than other constraints, though cost of finance as a constraint is very important.

Financing Poor Relief through Charitable Collections in Dutch Towns, c. 1600-1800


Free Download Daniƫlle Teeuwen, "Financing Poor Relief through Charitable Collections in Dutch Towns, c. 1600-1800 "
English | ISBN: 9089647937 | 2015 | 240 pages | PDF | 1407 KB
In the Dutch Republic, charitable collections, which formed the financial backbone of many poor relief institutions, were regularly organised by both religious and secular authorities. This book examines both the policies of church boards and town councils in organising these charitable appeals, as well as the general population’s giving behaviour. Using archival sources from the towns of Delft, Utrecht, Zwolle, and ‘s-Hertogenbosch, DaniĆ«lle Teeuwen shows how these authorities deployed organisational and rhetorical tactics-including creating awareness, establishing trust, and exerting pressure-to successfully promote fundraising campaigns. Not only did many relief institutions manage to collect large annual sums, but contributions came from across the socioeconomic spectrum.

Free Download Lendol Calder, "Financing the American Dream: A Cultural History of Consumer Credit "
English | ISBN: 0691074550 | 2001 | 400 pages | AZW3 | 2 MB
Once there was a golden age of American thrift, when citizens lived sensibly within their means and worked hard to stay out of debt. The growing availability of credit in this century, however, has brought those days to an end-undermining traditional moral virtues such as prudence, diligence, and the delay of gratification while encouraging reckless consumerism. Or so we commonly believe. In this engaging and thought-provoking book, Lendol Calder shows that this conception of the past is in fact a myth.
