چکیده
The relationship between venture capital and growth is examined using an endogenous growth model incorporating dynamic contracts between entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. At each stage of financing, venture capitalists assess the viability of startups. If viable, VCs provide funding for the next stage. The success of a project depends on the amount of funding. The model is confronted with stylized facts about venture capital; viz., the average cash-on-cash multiple and statistics by funding round concerning the success rate, failure rate, investment rate, equity shares, and the value of an IPO. Raising capital gains taxation reduces growth and welfare.

متن کاملFinancing Risk and Bubbles of Innovation∗
New ventures that commercialize radical technologies tend to cluster in time. Funding for new ventures also ebbs and flows, often synchronous with significant innovations. We suggest that financial market activity is not purely a response to novel technologies but rather, financial markets drive innovation bubbles. We show that financing risk is inherent to the funding of new ventures, but vari...
