Project goals:
The aim of this research was to analyze the credit supply to individual enterprises in Croatia and determine to what extent zombie lending was present in bank-firm relationships. As economists are naturally interested in the real effects of such behaviour, the next step was to analyze the impact of such lending on firms' productivity and employment.
