		| This study analyzes the effects of venture capital on Japan's regional economy by using region-level panel data. Results of this study show that an increase in venture capital has positive effects on the establishment of start-up firms and employment. This study expands on prior macro-level research on the relationships between venture capital and economic growth. It reveals that on a regional level in Japan, venture capital still has a stimulating effect on economic growth. |
