Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides a brief review of the main studies analyzing the effect of the legal rules and regulatory indicators—used in our empirical analysis—on economic and financial outcomes, both from a macroeconomic (country-level) and microeconomic (firm-level or industry-level) perspectives. The studies are framed within the following legal and regulatory areas: research on (i) protecting minority investors, (ii) getting credit, (iii) enforcing contracts, (iv) resolving insolvency, (v) starting a business, (vi) registering property, (vii) dealing with construction permits, (viii) paying taxes, and (ix) trading across borders. The pioneering study in each area is presented first, which is followed by other studies within that area.
