 visiting posts at various institutions including Pennsylvania Law School\,

 etween bankruptcy laws and entrepreneurship using data on self-employment 
 over 16 years (1990–2005) and fifteen countries in Europe and North Amer
 ica. He will compile new indices reflecting how “forgiving” personal b
 ankruptcy laws are and will show that bankruptcy law has a statistically a

 ng for GDP growth\, MSCI stock returns\, and a variety of other legal and 
 economic factors.\n\n\n\n
