Abstract

The new German Insolvency Law came into effect January 1, 1999. The introduction took place at a time when there was a strong increase of business bankruptcies, which had begun already in the early 1990s, exceeding all earlier developments. The quantitative effects of the new Law on the development of bankruptcies cannot be verified yet, but its qualitative effects can be evaluated: Does the new Insolvency Law avoid, correct, or favor the deficiencies of market adjustments?
