Does one size fit all? Basel rules and SME financing (2014)

Tra gli effetti collaterali della crisi economica quelli riguardanti al piccola e media impresa sono particolarmente rilevanti per l’Europa. La ripresa economica europea infatti dipende in modo significativo dalle prestazione delle PMI. Questo volume cerca di analizzare i possibili effetti collaterali delle disposizioni di Basilea III sulla stabilità del loro finanziamento. I saggi in esso contenuti evidenziano i miglioramenti introdotti da Basilea III rispetto a Basilea II ma mettono alla luce anche le debolezze del quadro normativo.
Il volume, in lingua inglese, è curato da Roberto Guida e Rainer Masera.
