Pre-defense of Ph.D. thesis by Olga Guseva
30/06/21 19:00 Research Seminar "Empirical Research in Corporate Finance"
O. Guseva, Ph.D. thesis pre-defense. Dissertation topic: "Formal and Informal Forms of Support as Success Drivers of Technology Startups in Russia"
Scientific adviser: A. Stepanova, PhD, Assistant Professor;
Abstract:
This dissertation investigates the different sources of support for a tech startup in Russia and identifies the impact of such support on a firm’s performance. The constructed database for the research consists of 25,144 companies and includes information about specific characteristics of Russian startups, such as industry, age, ownership, and management characteristics.
Private institutions were found to positively and significantly contribute to startup performance in Russia, and this contribution can be enhanced by government support. While we did not find a positive relationship between government equity support and firm performance, our study confirms the importance of government grant financing for a startup’s survival and access to external funding in Russia as in the emerging market with institutional voids.
While this research contributes to the literature on startup support in emerging markets, to our knowledge, this is also one of the first academic studies to provide insights into the market of Russian tech startups.
