Abstract: This paper provides novel empirical evidence on the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on business dynamics and venture capital financing across OECD Member countries using data from the Timely Indicators of Entrepreneurship and from the OECD/STI Start-up Database. To provide background into the potential impact of economic crises on young businesses, it additionally provides insights on the impact of the 2008-2009 global financial crisis on firm and employment dynamics based on DynEmp data.
