*'''UPDATE: See current work in progress for updates'''
The Impact of Entrepreneurship Hubs on Urban Venture Capital Investment (view source)

==General Overview==
Currently there are two major tasks being performed (list to be updated):
#'''Creation of VC data table''': '''UPDATE: Complete''' (see belowcompleted work)#'''Creation of Hubs Dataset''': '''UPDATE: See current work in progress for updates''' As of Spring 2016, a list of potential Hubs with a set of characteristics was created. Many of these are not what will be defined as Hubs. We will be creating a scorecard to help subjectively define Hubs based on certain characteristics. To do so:
##We will determine variables we would like to use for scorecard
##Create a process via Mechanical Turk to streamline the updating of the list
#'''Hazard Rate Model''': In order to perform our diff-diff model, we need to match MSAs. In order to do so, we will be using a hazard rate model to produce a probability that a MSA gets a Hub and compare MSAs that do and don't have hubs with similar probabilities. '''UPDATE: (7/11) Spoke to Xun Tang, econometrics professor in Rice's Economics Department, and now looking for appropriate proportional rate hazard models with time varying covariates.
