Abstract

L’objectif de cet article est d’étudier l’effet de la connexion politique sur l’accès à l’endettement des entreprises tunisiennes. La recherche a été menée auprès de 32 entreprises tunisiennes cotées pendant la période 2007-2012. Les résultats montrent que les entreprises tunisiennes politiquement connectées ont un accès préférentiel à l’endettement de court. Cette relation a été confirmée seulement pré révolution.
