Abstract

Using an industrial organisation (I/O) approach, this study considers venture capital (VC) and aims to explain the scale of investments made by fund management companies by the basic conditions of this industry. Thus, within the market structure-conduct-performance paradigm, we focus on the relationship between basic conditions and VC firms' conduct. The basic conditions are analysed from the point of view of supply, (corresponding to the fund management companies that raise capital from investors), and demand, (referring to the firms in which the capital available can be invested). Macroeconomic, institutional, exit and entrepreneurial characteristics form the VC environment, and one and the same element can constitute a basic condition on both the supply and demand side. The econometric study, based on a sample of 18 European countries over the period 2002-2009, highlights the influence of the interest rate, tax and legal framework, exit context and innovation dynamics.
