New to the research library is a video of Matthijs den Besten discussing his recent research presented at the Annual Global Research Workshop on Freelancing and Self-Employment 2018.
His research examines the access to bank credit by consultants and the impact of elements like gender, citizenship and marital status.
He finds that personal characteristics matter when banks decide whether to lend money to consultants. For instance, his research finds that women are required to send stronger signals of trustworthiness than their male peers when accessing finance.
