Business Creation and the Stock Market

Claudio Michelacci () and Javier Suarez

Working Papers from Centro de Estudios Monetarios Y Financieros-

Abstract: We claim that the stock market encourages business creation, innovation, and growth by allowing the recycling of "informed capital". Due to incentive and information problems, new start-ups face high flotation costs. Sustaining a tight relationship with a monitor allows them to postpone their going public decision until profitability prospects are clearer of incentive problems are less severe.
