The objective of this report is to analyze the behavior of cooperatives compared to other forms of enterprises during the economic crisis, including considering the pre-crisis period and identifying the factors influencing this diversity of behavior.
The results show that during the crisis cooperatives exhibit countercyclical behavior compared to corporations, while in the pre-crisis period the differences in growth rates are not significant.
This paper is part of the Third Euricse | 2015 report “Cooperative Economy. Relevance, evolution and new frontiers of Italian cooperation“.
