Finance Research Letters, 2020, vol. 32, issue C

Abstract: The majority of research on corporate venture capital (CVC) relies on data retrieved from secondary databases. However, various databases define CVC differently. Generally, researchers rely on the definition of the used database. As a result, empirical CVC research is not readily comparable, and replicability across databases is often impossible. This article examines the scope and consistency of the most popular databases in CVC research: Eikon from Thomson Reuters and Dow Jones’ VentureSource. The outcome is a replicable data-cleaning procedure based on an appropriate CVC definition. The article provides a necessary basis for the future discourse on CVC.
