Tarbalouti, Essaid (2010): Les déterminants théoriques de la faillite de l’entrepreneur et l’efficience de l’allocation du risque juridique : un survol de littérature.

Abstract

In this article, we develop the various theories which explain the determinants of the bankruptcy of the entrepreneur and the justifications of law to allocate this risk. We distinguish the theories from impulsive behavior or irrationality, the bad luck and the capacity to evaluate the risk of bankruptcy of the entrepreneur. We wonder on the economic bases of these determinants and about the impact of the corrections made by the rules of the law on economic efficiency.
