They find that the existence of private credit registries is associated with lower financing constraints and higher share of bank financing, while the existence of public credit registries does not seem to have a significant effect on these perceived financing constraints. The authors also find that small- and medium-sized firms tend to have a higher share of bank financing in countries where private registries exist and stronger rule of law is associated with more effective private credit registries. Finally, the authors find some evidence that the presence of a public credit registry benefits younger firms relatively more than older firms. 2014-04-25T15:41:30Z 2014-04-25T15:41:30Z 2003-10 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2003/10/2693721/credit-reporting-financing-constraints http://hdl.handle.net/10986/18045 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 3142 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research
