ABSTRACT This paper develops a tool to predict the percentage of compliance in the repayment of microloans granted by non-profit microfinance institutions (MFI) of the Uruguayan government. The database consists of 1,357 microloans granted by the Program for the Strengthening of Productive Entrepreneurs (PFEP) of the Uruguayan Ministry of Social Development (MIDES) during the period 2012–2016. The paper uses Cox (1972) proportional risk model, employing four penalty modes: ENET, LASSO, AENET and ALASSO. The analysis shows that with a reduced set of variables that are easy for the MFI to obtain, it is possible to obtain high predictive power.

ABSTRACT Cooperative behavior can facilitate successful relationships between new ventures and investors after investment but also during partner selection. This view may apply especially to accelerators, which differ from other investors by investments at the earliest venture-development stages, significant collaboration between new ventures and investors, and fast decision-making. However, prior research is insufficient to describe the role of relational governance between new ventures and accelerators. We conduct ethnographic research and twenty interviews to determine how relational governance is built into and influences how the new venture-accelerator relationship emerges. Our findings reveal that process-based trust and relational norms are developed earlier in this relationship than research from other investment contexts suggests. We derive a framework that indicates that actors include in their partner-selection processes elements that allow them to build these relational governance mechanisms, such as interacting (e.g., having a chat) and aligning future behavior, early on. We theorize that they do so because they cannot rely on ventures’ track records and seek partners with whom transactions can be defined in the short term and with whom significant collaboration is possible. Our work contributes to relational governance theory in new venture-investor relationships and recent efforts to understand accelerators.

ABSTRACT This paper examines the interactions between Islamic ethics related to entrepreneurs and finance and discusses their implications on entrepreneurial finance. The practice of Islamic entrepreneurial ethics creates trust that helps to mitigate agency problems. In such cases, investors can use contracts involving Islamic financial ethics. However, in the absence of the practice of normative entrepreneurial ethics, agency problems arise that need to be resolved contractually. This paper argues that Islamic legal and ethical principles impose constraints on contractual forms which reduce the flexibility of mitigating agency problems arising in entrepreneurial finance. When entrepreneurial ethics are not practiced, investors can finance entrepreneurs by diluting Islamic financial ethical principles to alleviate agency problems.

ABSTRACT A high level of information asymmetry is characterizing for venture capital investments making new information about entrepreneurial companies especially valuable for a venture capitalist’s valuation process. This paper uses text classification and text mining methodology to extract structured data about capital allocation plans in a unique sample of 1,550 European funding rounds that serves as proxy for the private informational updates shared with investors by entrepreneurs. We show that venture capitalists incorporate the content and specificity of information into their valuation process. Further, results confirm that the value of new information is dependent on the prevailing level of information asymmetry.

ABSTRACT The intersection of gender and entrepreneurship has received growing attention in recent years from academics, practitioners, and policy makers. The current paper reviews research on what influences women’s demand for- and supply of entrepreneurial finance, while suggesting a conceptual approach untangling contradictory findings in earlier studies. This is achieved through a systematic literature review of 113 carefully selected papers, published between 1989 and 2019. Specifically, the review includes 77 studies dedicated to female access to finance, 32 studies on female investment behaviour, and 4 studies addressing both. We find that inconsistent findings can be traced to a combination of wide theoretical plurality in one-half of the studies and an absence of theoretical anchoring in the other half, calling for conceptual integration of existing theories with feminist critiques. Accordingly, we propose integrative conceptual frameworks highlighting the roles of explicit and symbolic factors impacting women’s access to- and investment of- financial resources. This approach led us to suggest that refocusing research on symbolic and intangible factors may help uncover new associations, otherwise obscured in earlier research. Furthermore, the inclusion of interaction terms with gender-related variables may also help untangle existing inconsistencies.

ABSTRACT Recent research on firms’ capital structure highlights that up to 25% of publicly listed firms are zero-debt firms, a stylized fact that challenges financial theory. In this paper, we study privately held zero-debt small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and identify that approximately 20% of our observations correspond to zero-debt firms. This result is especially surprising in the context of a bank-oriented economy, France. We show that the likelihood of being a zero-debt firm is higher when firms are new-born, which is not surprising, but also when they grow older. In other words, we observe a U-shaped relationship between age and the likelihood of being a zero-debt firm. Our results are consistent with the idea that new-born firms cannot access debt-financing because of a lack of reputation and high informational opacity. When firms grow older, they decide to become debt-free to preserve their financial flexibility and to reduce their dependency toward banks. Overall, this paper suggests that SMEs depend less on bank financing than currently assumed.

ABSTRACT The onset of the coronavirus pandemic in early 2020 quickly gave rise to a concern that the resulting economic uncertainty would produce a collapse in angel investing. In view of the critical role that business angels play in financing the start of the entrepreneurial pipeline, a decline in their investment activity would have a negative effect on the ability of entrepreneurs to start and commence the scaling process which, in turn, would compromise an entrepreneur-led economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. This paper draws on two unique data sources on investments made by business angels in Scotland before and since the onset of the pandemic. It shows that business angels continued to invest since the onset of the crisis although their investment activity declined sharply between Q2 and Q3 2020. Investment activity stabilising in Q4 and has significantly increased during 2021 and is now above pre-Covid levels. Angels have increased their emphasis on follow-on investments and in businesses that have raised one or more previous rounds of funding. This highlights a potential problem for entrepreneurs seeking to raise their first round of angel funding that policy-makers need to address.

ABSTRACT In this paper, we look at venture capital funds that invest in enterprises striving to achieve a positive societal impact (SIVCs). We observe that SIVCs are likely to pursue two different investment strategies. On the one hand, they select companies with negative profitability results but interesting growth patterns. On the other hand, they do not disregard more established companies with profits but a reduced prospect of growth at the time of the investment. We then assess the impact that these SIVCs have generated on invested firms: while we do not observe significant improvements in the sales figures, all the models show that total assets have been positively affected by the new equity raised. However, when we disentangle between short- and long-term effects, our analysis reveals that the effect of SIVCs on total assets is concentrated on the first years after the receipt of capital, while it disappears in the following years. A positive and significant effect of SIVCs on sales is instead found in the long run. The overall evidence seems to support the view that SIVCs favor the growth and transformation of target firms towards more capital intensive and scalable businesses.

ABSTRACT Why do regional governments establish venture capital funds? Government intervention in venture capital markets is traditionally legitimised by market failure rationales. In this paper, we analyse the supply of public and private venture capital in Dutch regions, which reveals a multiplicity of rationales for government intervention in the regional economy. We ground this in the policy diffusion literature and distinguish four rationales for government intervention: economic competition, coercion, imitation and learning. The findings enrich the analysis of regional government interventions and challenge the rhetoric that regional policies seeking to foster venture capital markets are solely implemented to address market failures.
