Abstract:
This paper examines the impact of public funding on the creation of new firms. For this, the study compares firms that received public funding and firms the creation of which was not financed. The startups under study were funded in 20XX-20XX under the program START. The comparison methods involved matching difference-in-difference and time-varying treatment effects. The financed firms exhibited higher revenues and productivity and a lower debt ratio. The impact on profit was weak, however, as the program encouraged enterprises to extend their activity.
