Financial Crisis – A Review of the Economics and Legal Toolbox

Financial Crisis A Review of the Economics and Legal Toolbox by Yan Liu; Christoph Rosenberg, February 20, 2013

In response, governments are revisiting legal tools and—in some cases—institutional arrangements to deal with over-indebtedness. For households, where the problem in some countries is large but no established best practice exists, reforms have generally sought to allow debtors a fresh start while minimizing moral hazard and preserving bank solvency and credit discipline. For the corporate sector, efforts have focused on facilitating debt restruturing (including through out of court mechanisms). Direct government intervention has been rare.”
