Troika's Portuguese Ministry of Justice Experiment, Part II: Continued positive results for civil enforcement actions in Troika's aftermath

Abstract

This article constitutes part II of a series of studies on the impact of measures implemented by the Portuguese Ministry of Justice. Particularly, it addresses the results at the level of civil enforcement actions resulting from goals inscribed in the MoU signed between Portugal and the so called Troika (IMF/EC/ECB). The empirical study is now expanded to encompass the quantitative analysis of results achieved not only during the Troika’s period but during the post-Troika period as well. Results show a continued positive effect for civil enforcement actions in Troika's aftermath.
