Guarantee Instrument Obsolete or Future-Oriented?

Abstract

Venture capital, business angels, crowdfunding and mezzanine are among the financing instruments considered as sexy and future-oriented. Therefore, they receive a lot of attention from researchers and policymakers. This is in big contrast to the guarantee instrument often considered as an obsolete bureaucratic instrument leading to moral hazard at lenders’ level. Moreover, guarantees are not only linked — as the traditional approach suggests — to credits, but can be a useful instrument, on top of the different co-investment schemes, to boost venture capital. This chapter argues that a guarantee policy should be an integral part of the landscape of financial instruments as it can be very efficient in terms of value for public money and pleads for a renewal of academic research on the matter and ends with concrete research suggestions.
