This book was released on 2021-04-02 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic has increased insolvency risks, especially among small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which are vastly overrepresented in hard-hit sectors. Without government intervention, even firms that are viable a priori could end up being liquidated—particularly in sectors characterized by labor-intensive technologies, threatening both macroeconomic and social stability. This staff discussion note assesses the impact of the pandemic on SME insolvency risks and policy options to address them. It quantifies the impact of weaker aggregate demand, changes in sectoral consumption patterns, and lockdowns on firm balance sheets and estimates the impact of a range of policy options, for a large sample of SMEs in (mostly) advanced economies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In particular, the model accounts for the extraordinarily high level of debt of en- trepreneurs in bankruptcy, the high bankruptcy rate of entrepreneurs relative to workers, and the high debt-to-income ratio of entrepreneurs relative to workers. [...] Given the success of our model in replicating the data, we use it to conduct two policy experiments that are meant to capture the tightening of bankruptcy rules as recently approved in the U. S. The first policy experiment consists of the elimination of the bankruptcy exemption. [...] The underlying assumption is that, when making unsecured loans to a household, intermediaries observe the level of total unsecured loans, the business investments, the current earnings shock, the current business shock, and the age of the borrower. [...] The parameters to be calibrated are related to the households preferences, the stochastic process for labor efficiency, the stochastic process of business income, technology in the entrepreneurial sector, technology in the intermediation sector, and the bankruptcy system. [...] The bankruptcy rate of entrepreneurs is obtained by using (i) the fact that 20% of bankrupts are entrepreneurs (Sullivan, Warren, and Westbrook (2000)), (ii) the fraction of entrepreneurs in the economy (12%) and (iii) the overall bankruptcy rate.
