Synopsis

The VC Startup Matching Stata Work Project is support work for the Estimating Unobserved Complementarities between Entrepreneurs and Venture Capitalists academic paper.

Estimate reduced form model and summary statistics to 'validate' the dataset for future structural estimation, following the literature evidence pointed out by David Hsu in the academic paper page.

To do so, I use the Startup-VC match dataset which contains variables regarding the startup, the VC and the match itself.

Stata Do-Files Guide

The directory

E:\McNair\Projects\MatchingEntrepsToVC\Stata

contains all the necessary files to run the analysis. All the raw datasets are in the directory itself, while Do-Files, log-files and output like tex files are in the respective folders.

Regarding Do-Files organization, the first file to be opened has to be 'master.do'. In it, I wrote the necessary globals to make referencing directories easier, while also pointing out any necessary extra packages. In the future, when the analysis is more robust and clear, the general instructions of what each do-file does will be also written in the master do-file.

For now, every do-file is more or less self-descriptive and self-contained.
