Abstract

We apply propensity-score matching (PSM) in order to qualify the efficiency of SME bankruptcy's preventive rescue plan in a European perspective. PSM has a number of comparative advantages in such analysis, including the need to allow for heterogeneous impacts, while optimally weighting observed characteristics when forming a comparison group. The results show that firms asking for a rescue plan register 5.2% higher chance to survive compared to similar (on some pre-settled characteristics) firms that do not. Deepening our analysis to the specific case of COSME Programme's leading countries, our results show that these countries outperforms Europe, with a SMEs getting 7.7% more chance to remain active.
