Sažetak
This paper presents the main findings from an empirical research
project, whose aim was to answer the following research questions: (1)
Did men and women entrepreneurs ask for new bank loans during the
crisis? (2) Did they obtain required bank loans at the same conditions?
(3) Which variables, other than gender, influence access to bank credit?
Data show that firms were very cautious in access to finance during
the crisis and female-led firms asked for bank loans more rarely than
male-led ones. Entrepreneurs’ gender, age and education, banking
history and industry only slightly affected access to credit during the
crisis.
