Economic Analysis of Corporate and Personal Bankruptcy Law

Michelle J. White

NBER Working Paper No. 11536*
Issued in August 2005
NBER Program(s):   LE

This paper surveys research on the economics of corporate and personal bankruptcy law. Since the literatures on the two types of bankruptcy have developed in isolation of each other, a goal of the survey is to draw out parallels between them. Both theoretical and empirical research are discussed.
