Explaining the Discrepancy
ORBIS is based on balance sheet accounting so we only use liabilities for financing, whereas EIBIS use both assets and liabilities as sources of finance EIBIS does not ask about trade credit and includes cash in internal finance, whereas ORBIS has cash under short term assets.

Key Takeaways from Regression Analysis
Firms finance tangible assets mostly with external finance—ST and LT bank debt Firms who have more than 50 percent of their total financing from external sources increase investment more in the aftermath of the crisis—Importance of access to external finance SMEs use internal finance to finance intangible investment Trade credit was an important source of finance both for SMEs and large firms during the crisis Policy lesson 1: SMEs need to move from internal to external finance for their intangible investment, especially R&D. Policy lesson 2: Need less national rules/regulations to enhance more cross-border asset/equity ownership.
