Imputation and derivation

Derivation
An index aggregating different creditor rights. The index is formed by adding 1 if: (1) the country imposes restrictions, such as creditors’ consent, to file for reorganization; (2) secured creditors are able to gain possession of their security once the reorganization petition has been approved (no automatic stay); (3) secured creditors are ranked first in the distribution of the proceeds that result from the disposition of assets of a bankrupt firm; and (4) the debtor does not retain the administration of its property pending the resolution of the reorganization. The index ranges from 0 to 4.
