dc.description.abstract | This paper presents SME financing gaps across European countries over the period 2013 to 2020,
using two different methodologies, one reliant on firm balance sheets and one on firm-level surveys.
We show significant variation in financing gaps across countries and sectors. Variation over time, on
the other hand, is not as strong or intuitive. The account- and survey-based measures are only weakly
correlated with each other, reflecting their different nature, and both are only weakly correlated with
a survey-based measure of self-reported firm financing constraints. | en |
